Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Chris.R]

Only 7°C here. There is a very potent inversion overhead, boundary layer is colder than expected and it's not being mixed out by the inversion as expected. May help tomorrow with bringing possible sleet/snow down to lower level than predicted.

Cold wind and no sunshine, 8°C.  Yes, tomorrow looks awful, need to go out in it, I can't put it off, nasty if your job is an outdoors one.  Tuesday looks wet, possible squall to look out for on Weds.

Rain warned tomorrow and much the same for the rest of the coming week.  Why pick on us?   I was just starting to take an interest in reclaiming the rain trashed garden.  

[A Face like Thunder]

Cloud alternating with bright spells, but with a noticeable chill in the air.

[Dark Horse]

Is it true that it's reached 19c today in parts of Scotland. That would be crazy for January.

[Rush2019]

  @Dark Horse   17°C is a bit mad, look at Costa del  Rhyl.

  @Dark Horse

Not sure why I'm responding to your post since I'm pretty sure I'm on your ignore list but for others there is a thread on this

Big fhoen effect at Rhyl

[Weather-history]

Some interesting cloud formations to my west.

 

[iand61]

  @Rush2019 my 7.5c must be up there with the coldest spots in the UK today then but Scotland will still be in the prime spot for any snow on offer tomorrow while we will no doubt be just the wrong side of marginal

there is only our region that can have a cold day when record breaking mild is on offer and be mild when a decent spell of cold and snow is about

[Pendlesnow]

Pendle hill snow update.............its still there but I fear for tomorrow 

[Rush2019]

  @iand61 yes, that about sums it up.

Almost poked 10°C in the eye here, stalled on 9.8°C.  The wind seems to be picking up a touch.

Another very useable day, dry throughout and mostly cloudy, so not a bad weekend really. The temperature was a bit up on yesterday, but still felt chilly with a bit more of a breeze. Temp is still rising, currently 9.7C.

Tomorrow is looking to be a washout, but at least we have had a reasonable weekend.

[Rain Lady]

9.0C now and it's the max and rising.    Been a dry day and just a light breeze.  Mostly miserably grey.    Good for gardening though.

Too cloudy for a good sunset though did glimpse a strip of golden marmalade which turned briefly to raspberry jam before the cloud curtain fell.

 

[damianslaw]

A decent day for late January, certainly acceptable walking weather compared to lately. Feeling much milder than yesterday thanks to little wind. No real brightness but cloud levels were quite high.

Oh dear tomorrow set to mirror a January Monday in feel. A cold wet  raw day, maxes 5 degrees, snow to modest levels possibly.

[carl1980]

11.1°c slowly creeping up felt chilly most of today 

[Thunder Snow]

Tomorrow looks awful with a wavey weather front over the region tomorrow, most of the time amounts of rain can be underestimated so one to watch. Then the possibility of cold weather incoming 

[Metwatch]

 

Mammatus in Preston today!

[Weather-history]

January 1928, the wettest January on record for the region with 227.6mm

 

     

 

[Had Worse]

  @Weather-history Are you hinting at more rain?

Anyway, morning all. 

It was raining when I got up but I'm now in the gap before the next course.

Seems to be the offer, get 3 dry days and we'll give you a weeks rain for free.

 

[Scuba steve]

Wet wet wet  not the band either

[Rush2019]

Morning   yesterdays steady temp climb maxed at 11.1°C.  Currently (8.45am)  9°C,  light rain for now.

[A Face like Thunder]

  @Weather-history Interesting programme on Ch 5 the other day about the Thames flooding tragedy of Jan 1928. With rapidly melting snow from the great Christmas snowstorm in Dec 1927 and a very wet start to Jan 1928, the flooding was hardly surprising.

Wet start to today as forecast and a dismal Monday in prospect.
