  1. Buxton, Derbyshire, England Unofficial November 2010 Climatic Records Latitude 53*N Longitude 1.5*W Elevation 338m/1110ft AMSL Valid 1st- 30th November, 2010 Mean Maximum: 5.3°C / 41.5°F Mean Minimum: 1.2°C / 34.2°F Mean Temperature: 3.3°C / 37.9°F Highest Temperature: 14.2°C / 57.6°F (4th) Lowest Temperature: -9.4°C / 15.1°F (28th) --------------------- Lowest Maximum: -1.6°C / 29.1°F (28th) Highest Minimum: 10.8°C / 51.4°F (4th) --------------------- Precipitation: 170mm / 6.7" Days with rain >1mm: 9 Days with rain/drizzle: 14 Most in one day: 42mm / 1.7" (2nd) --------------------- Mean Pressure: 1006.3mb Max Pressure: 1020mb (16th) Min Pressure: 968mb (8th) Average Maximum Wind Gust: 32.3mph Maximum Wind Gust: 72mph (12th) --------------------- Sunshine hours: 53.6 Most in one day: 5 (15th) Average per day: 1.8 hours Sunless days: 7 --------------------- Days with: Sleet/Snow: 3 Fog: At least two. Hail/Ice Pellets: 0 Thunderstorm: 0 Nights below freezing: 10 Ice days: 3 (27th, 28th, 30th) Month synopsis: Certainly a very interesting month, some very mild temps in the first week (for Buxton in November), but also extremely wet in the first half with three days having over an inch of rain each. Most notable was the incredible cold and snow in the final week, some record breaking low temperatures, and over half a foot of snow accumulated by the end of the final day. -9.4°C on 28th is a record low temperature for the date. The mean temperature contrast between the 1st week (8.1°C) and last week (-2.5°C) is quite astonishing for the maritime climate.
  2. I have six inches in Buxton. I am in the club? LOL. Bugger all in Manchester though.
  3. Heating's been turned up to "Super Power" levels, and the temp in the computer/bedroom reached 23°C last night. Wonderful. Heating's been turned up to "Super Power" levels, and the temp in the computer/bedroom reached 23°C last night. Wonderful.
  4. Buxton, Derbyshire's forecast has -9 on thursday on the BBC graphics. Anyway what's the November CET down to now? Still way above the Buxton mean which is 3 Degrees C now.
  5. Seems to be dropping about 0.3C a day by now, so I'd expect final figure to be around ~5.5°C.
  6. NO sign of any snow in Buxton, and I must say I'm glad, hate the stuff, and the cold, really is frigid and awful out there.
  7. 19.0°C in the computer/bedroom.
  8. No it hasn't. Maybe on the hills surrounding it, but not in the town.
  9. 19.4°C in the computer room/bedroom.
  10. Buxton, Derbyshire, England Unofficial October 2010 Climatic Records Latitude 53*N Longitude 1.5*W Elevation 338m/1110ft AMSL Valid 1st- 31st October, 2010 Unfortunately there were problems with my sensor under reporting maximum temperatures this month, so the max is not precise, sorry. Mean Maximum: ~11°C / 52°F Mean Minimum: 5.9°C / 42.6°F Mean Temperature: 8.2°C / 46.8°F Highest Temperature: 16.5°C / 61.7°F (10th) Lowest Temperature: -1.7°C / 28.9°F (25th) --------------------- Lowest Maximum: 5.1°C / 41.2°F (20th) Highest Minimum: 11.0°C / 51.8°F (9th) --------------------- Precipitation: 109mm / 4.29" Days with rain >1mm: 11 Days with rain/drizzle: 16 Most in one day: 31mm / 1.22" (1st) --------------------- Mean Pressure: 1012.1mb Max Pressure: 1028mb (25th) Min Pressure: 988mb (29th) Average Maximum Wind Gust: 29.3mph Maximum Wind Gust: 45mph (29th) --------------------- Sunshine hours: 98.6 Most in one day: 9.44 (4th) Average per day: 3.2 hours Sunless days: 10 --------------------- Days with: Sleet/Snow: 0 Fog: At least two. Hail/Ice Pellets: 1 (19th) Thunderstorm: 0 Nights below freezing: 2 Month synopsis: A near-average month temperature wise. Slightly dryer and sunnier than average. Sunnier in fact that September (at least here). No thunder reported here but once in Manchester on 6th. No snow.
  11. Gone below 10 degrees in the house first time this winter, so obviously the heating will need to be on.
  12. Went in and out of hail showers on the train home from Manchester this afternoon. Managed to get a wide view of the heavy showers around Hazel Grove/Middlewood and observed some lightning. This would have been about 16:15 or so. That was it though as it was mostly obscured.
  13. Must echo what "Isolated Frost" has said. Simply, if the temperature starts getting below a comfortable level in the house, then the relevant level of heat is required thereby to correct the situation as necessary. With the very cold weather in late August, that became a necessity.
  14. Too right! How dreadful. I just wonder what the temperature in our house in Buxton would sink to if we had feet of snow and -20°C. Probably would get below freezing inside. Imagine the heating bill. In fact, the heating would probably fail in our house. And, not being able to get to work, the general inconvenience and hassle as well as the dangers, given how ill equipped he UK is for such conditions. But worst of all, the sheer physical pain of the absence of heat energy (which is all the cold is, of course) would really, seriously see me fly abroad on what little savings I have, even if it sinks my credit rating! Just so long as the snow has not shut all the airports down. Brrrr. Nothing worse. How anyone could want this, I will never understand.
  15. It was a frightening 17.0°C in my room when I left this morning. Definitely not what you want to wake up to.
  16. It feels quite cool in here. Let me check the temperature. It's 19.4°C!! Bloody hell!! I am still alive in this cold! Well how surprising. In the utility room it is a shockingly cold 13.3°C, and in the kitchen it is a mere 17.8°C. And this is WITH the central heating on.
  17. I reckon all this hype about the north atlantic current "going", (which it won't) is just being perpetuated by those with a bias and predisposition toward cold and winter, this is basically the new playground of the "cold rampers" if you will. Just an observation.
  18. Firstly I'd like to see the proper "Scientific Reasons" behind all the speculation on this thread about nonsense like the North Atlantic Current going anywhere, the jetstream staying permanently south giving the UK a "continental climate" and all that first. All I can say is, everything in all the links I've read about this reads like pure unsubstantiated twaddle, and I have a very good BS detector a.k.a "Intuition" that this garbage is best ignored. This whole pretense that due to whether it be a very rapid change in "Ocean Surface Currents" in a couple years, or whatever else, is suddenly going to cause a dramatic shift in our climate after thousands of years, well sorry but it is BS at best)
  19. Time somebody said it: the whole notion being purported in this thread, in its entirety, is a silly old load of tommy-rot.
  20. I will make my winter "hopecast" simple: January 1916 + February 1998 + December 1988.

  22. smelt 1–verb (used with object) 1. to fuse or melt (ore) in order to separate the metal contained. 2. to obtain or refine (metal) in this way.
