Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Weather-history]

Another 100mm month. 

 

[iand61]

Another “mild” day that feels anything but.

we walked the mile or so to MIL’s with her shopping and my fingers were numb with cold then quickly followed by sore with the 30c that she always seems to have her flat at.

no chance of our house ever getting that warm, certainly not until Mother Nature does it for us in the summer but the heating will have to go on for an hour to get the chill off.

[Joe Snow]

Whilst eyes are on a potential Feb cold spell - Monday looks like a potential rainfall event slipping below the radar quite a lot of persistent at times heavy rain forecast that we don’t want or need ️ 

[iand61]

  @Joe Snow saw that on the bbc forecast this morning and they mentioned it installing so someone could end with a thoroughly wet day.

l wouldn’t be surprised to see an warning issued tomorrow for somewhere in the region.

they also mentioned a chance of snow across high ground but then showed temperatures that away from Cumbria and the North Pennines were far to high for anything other than rain so unless you are on the top of the Lakeland summits or Cross Fell, I think it’s just going to be wet day.

  @iand61 stalling or trailing front either way it look bloody damp

[Joe Snow]

  @iand61 If we end up under a stalling rain band it’ll likely be a wet & cold feeling day latest GFS 12z has highest temp of 9c in the early hours of Monday - highest daytime temps are hovering between 6-7c so will feel chilly under persistent rain and somewhat at odds to the 11- 12c forecast by the BBC & Met Office. Will be interesting to see how it develops somewhere could get a washout day. 

[iand61]

  @Scuba steve maybe even have a damp pair of y fronts

[Pendlesnow]

11 days on and I still get my snow fix pendle hill still has snow! 

[Scuba steve]

  @Pendlesnow the snow witch

[A Face like Thunder]

Nice day for late January and also for the Holly Holy Day event in Nantwich. Pity about the result at Crewe Alex this afternoon!

[Had Worse]

  @Scuba steve

I think it ended up that Carlisle got a good kicking. 

[Scuba steve]

  @Had Worse

[severe snowstorm]

A very useable day here, dry throughout although rather cloudy. Average temp for time of year, certainly not overly mild, reached 7.4C. 

Just winding down with a couple of ales now.

[Rush2019]

Good morning.  Wow, flaming red sunrise this am.  Birds are on full volume. Slightly blowy, it's dry and 7.1°C.

 

[iand61]

Looks like a half decent day coming up today, dry at least and hopefully we can share in some of the sunshine and “very mild” temperatures being forecast as Monday looks to be a wet day throughout.

[Weather-history]

  @Rush2019

Same here

 

[Rush2019]

  @Weather-history stunning skies earlier.  Your photo captured the true colours better, nice pic.

[iand61]

No chance of a brilliant red sunrise here.

wall to wall cloud since before dawn and if anything it’s gone darker in the last hour

I think it’s time I moved away from this hillside.

[Joe Snow]

Another cloudy, quiet day here quite drab really  

Tomorrow looks a wet & chilly affair for the region with heavy rain around a real January kind of Monday, the ‘very mild’ weather far to our SE.
 

Cold enough perhaps even for some wintryness over high ground in the N of the region. 
 

 

 

[iand61]

Yellow rain warning out tomorrow for the northern two thirds of the region.

horrible wet day incoming

[Alexis]

For such a mild day it feels chilly out there! 9C.

[Chris.R]

Perhaps snow down to 100 m in Cumbria tomorrow and 300 m further south especially in very heavy precip. Quite a sharp temperature gradient aloft. Either way a long period of precip to come

[iand61]

  @Alexis just been out to the bin and thought exactly the same.

for exceptionally mild according to the forecaster earlier this morning it feels damn cold although a few minutes sunshine would help with things.
 

[Scuba steve]

Just cut the hedges as I believed it was going to be mild it’s not ,lol  though  it’s good enough for the task 

[iand61]

  @Scuba steve was going to have a drive up your neck of the woods today to get an idea on holiday parks and maybe have a brisk coastal walk but if your saying it’s cold then I’m glad I didn’t bother.

I’m sure they’ll be warmer days in the coming weeks although maybe not dry ones.
