60mm in Buxton already with some very heavy rain mid-day today.

Bloody cold in the computer room. Now is the time of year when it would take heating to get to 20°C. It's only 18.3°C in here now.

LOL duly noted and changed.

However, it was the coldest september in my personal memory. It was also the dullest in my personal memory.

The first week is looking cold expect a real warm up for late 2nd-4th week.

130mm in Fuxton.

My health is fine. I am just very slim with low blood pressure so maybe that has something to do with it. While I can't cope with cold (below 20 degrees) I can tolerate heat like barely nobody else can.

I'm wearing a fleece, two pairs of underwear, thick pants, and I still find it too cold below 20 degrees. I guess I'm cold blooded then. 17 degrees is an unacceptable room temp unless you have a bloody scarf hat and coat on in my opinion.

Current indoor temperatures to hand: 18:45 - 26th September Computer Room: 21.8°C - combination of central heating and portable heater. Utility Room: 13.5°C - unheated room out back of house. BRRRR. Kitchen: 18.2°C - rather colder than usual.

2.4°C low in Buxton.

Utility room temperature got down to 11.4°C this morning, and kitchen (usually warmest in the house) down to a mere 17.7°C.

No because I hate winter, snow, cold, frost and the general discomfort and pain of cold, inconvenience of snow and ice, so I dread the six months of winter October - March and long for the return of spring.

12.5

Max today an appalling 11.5°C after a low of 5.1°C, and of course it clouded over mid-day dashing hopes of a clear day.

Simple. February 12th, 2008.

All those numbers seem positively warm compared to a typical year in Buxton Derbyshire.

Coolest day of September today, reaching only 17°C with no sunshine. Particularly autumnal, but no worse than half the days in the pathetic wintery Poorgust just gone.

I'm keeping track of the temperature in the my Computer Room, Utility Room, and Kitchen. Today, it was about 19°C in the computer room most of the day, so I have had to put the heater on. Now it is up to a neutral 22°C, perfect. :huh: In the utility room, in the back of the house, it is always cold. It has never been over 20°C in there, and the lowest temperature record in there this August is a shocking 13.1°C Thank goodness I don't have to sleep in there! As for the kitchen, while preparing a huge meal earlier, which involved intensive oven use, many pans frying and boiling various foods, and use of the grill; I made sure to keep the door closed and the temperature rocketed up to a beautiful 28.3°C! Aaaah, bliss. Still not quite hot enough to take off the ol' fleece tho.

Thanks to the good storm on 14th July this year I got out of the No Storms Club however as a whole the year has shown a pathetic lack of convective activity, with only four days of any thunder heard at all so far. In three cases it was just one rumble, two rumbles and a few rumbles. Only that one date was there a good overhead storm. But some haven't even had that. I think the UK weather is entering a cooler, calmer more stable period of weather phase by the look of it.

I remember camping on Jersey in August 1997 when a strong plume thunderstorm broke out in the night, with frequent CG lightning. A bolt of lightning injured a camper in his tent when a lightning current travelled through the wet ground, conducting into his body somehow. That was pretty close. In August 1999 there was an intense storm with the loudest thunder I've ever heard in the middle of the night in a town near Limoges, France. That storm was also highly electrical causing a power surge and widespread power cuts well into Limoges affecting even the traffic lights. Other storms I remember include the intense lightning display of 3rd July 1999 when I lived in Windsor, and many years later in September 2006, the mid-day thunderstorm in Lincoln which produced a tornado minutes after coming through town. I remember that latter storm well enough seeing as I was stuck outside in the first part of it, with close CG lightning coming quite rapidly. Most notably I remember looking at the structure of the storm after it had passed over, noting how solid the appearance of the back-sheared anvil was and the defined flanking line into the rear-right. It also had a very large, proper "anvil" looming tens of miles ahead of it, making it get very dark and forboding ahead of the storm. Must have been a lot of upper level wind shear. The base of the approaching anvil was very swollen looking with mammatus and then as the storm approached closer, lots of turbulent boiling dark cloud around the gust front. It was also incredibly dark with bright blue lightning flashes and the heaviest rain I had seen in years, until July 14th 2010, when we had a very heavy thunderstorm here in Buxton, which is pretty rare. The 14th July storm included hail and rain rates up to 10-11" per hour.
