Just been for a walk along Sewerby cliff top, very windy, gusting close to 50mph I would guess, but sea is surprisingly calm as its an offshore gale

Been the same here since Thursday, blowing a hooley again this afternoon Brid is showing 40mph+ gust, I suspect close to 50 here. Tomorrow's wind speed forecast has produced a yellow warning, this afternoon has been similar, but no warning. I struggle to make sense of the warnings, and I think the general public are getting to the point where they ignore them. They are trying to cram too much into 3 warning levels, with the 'Impact' being very subjective. Personally if a threshold is likely to be exceeded, with some indication of likelihood from 'possibility of' to 'will', then I think a warning should be issued.

Managed to get out today and avoid the rain, wind already picking up. Force 5-7 SW at lunchtime and 9c, felt cold because of the wind, in spite of the milder temperatures. Tomorrows forecast is for gusts of 50mph+, that is beyond bike riding weather. Looking at the setup I think it may be worse than forecast as well. Yet again I am struggling to understand the general yellow warning, I had expected more of an update today. If the forecast 60mph+ gusts materialise east of the pennines that is going to have some serious impacts. Also a possible North Sea surge. I am firmly of the opinion that the Metoffice weather warnings do not convey to the public the required information. A low probability serious impact gets the same warning as a high probability low impact, but the required response to these two outcomes are totally different to my mind.

A much milder day today, and quite a bit of sun. There have been some spectacular sunsets over the village over the last couple of days, here is tonights sunset, with the new crescent moon visible in the second picture.

A better day today, wind reduced from yesterdays almost gale to a SW force 3-4, and sunny with very little cloud when I was out just after 12. Still cold at 5c.

Another miserable cold grey day with frequent showers. At lunchtime wind was NNE force 5-6 gusting 7 at times, with temps of 5c felt cold, made worse by the frequent light showers. In the last hour there have been a few breaks in the cloud and sun is trying to shine through.

Oh dear, yesterday was a blip, Rain earlier, and now fog today. Wind now light, mainly S and force 2. Very dull and temps of 8c.

Well a much better day today for my bike ride, wind W force 3, and a funny bright yellow globe in an almost cloudless sky. Temperatures 7c. Normal route abandonded due to ongoing flooding. More rain is forecast for tomorrow, so we will see if its just a blip of nicer weather.

Yes its a known trouble spot, apparently near Kirkstall Forge. As far as I can tell its surface runoff which accumulates in the lowest spot, which is the railway track.

A better morning here, very windy last night, not sure what peak gust was. More rain in the forecast, any rain is now just going to run off. Anyone know what rainfall totals are so far this month in our area?

Another wet miserable day at the coast, started raining at breakfast time and now moderate to heavy rain from a leaden grey sky. Ground is waterlogged, so any rain just runs off causing surface flooding. It's Beverley Xmas market tomorrow, if its not raining we are going if it's like today we will stay home.

I remember it turning completely dark at lunchtime in London in December 1962, this was caused by smog. Very spooky for a 5yo.

@matt brid Doesn't surprise me, wind is gusting to around 45mph SE according to Met Off. and Brid Harbour is susceptible to gales with an easterly component. Tide is going out at the moment, but when it turns it could get lively.

Coastal weather today, continuous light rain from a leaden grey sky since early morning. warmed up from yesterday but still feels raw in ESE wind, and no snow in the mix at all.

I wonder what we will get at the coast? It's come in quite misty here in the last couple of hours, forecast is snow then fog. Its already below freezing again.

Cold today with frequent showers mainly graupel. This picture taken late this afternoon shows the shower clouds with precipitation streaks. As you can see there is just a few bits of frozen stuff on the ground but it's mostly melted.

Showers at the coast are a mixture of snow and graupel, with a light covering. Not quite cold enough for it to stick around, 1c here.

Graupel showers today, several quite heavy ones, but managed to dodge them while cycling. Winds NE Force 2-3 temps 3C. Looking inland there wasnt much whiteness at lunchtime and maybe a degree up on yesterday here. This was the shower that hit just after I got back home rolling in. You can see the precipicitaion streak clearly

Wind has veered overnight here, as expected, now NE. For our location that pushes the showers more inland, but is keeping temperatures at the coast just above freezing. A mix of rain sleet and snow here this morning, but it looks like showers are turning readily to snow as they are pushed further inland. Yesterday was colder here.

It was very borderline here this morning, we are about 1 mile from the sea, but 78m asl. Snow ended up sticking on the grass and roofs but melting on roads and pavements. Even now the snow that fell this morning is sticking around where the sun hasn't reached. Daily bike ride took me to Bridlington today as usual route was flooded again, and in Bridlington snow hadn't stuck at all, thats pretty well sea level. In these situations even 0.3 deg C warmer or colder can make a big difference to the outcome, together with dew point. I think here it will be'wait and see', further inland I would suggest there will definitel;y be a good covering by the morning, as to how far inland, thats down to the veering winds.

Depend on wind direction, currently showers are running almost parallel to the coast, if the winds veer more northerly then they will come further inland

Snowing at coast, trying to settle, but not quite cold enough.

Well a nice fine day here at the coast, with sunshine at lunchtime and a WNW wind force 3-4. Temperatures at 6c. A cold wind. What was interesting was the line of instability thrown up by the lift from the cliffs at the coast, looking north. Compare that with the view looking west, almost cloudless Its a shame this setup is early in the winter, as I have said up thread I think the sea is too warm for snow at the coast, but inland over the Wolds will be be a different story I reckon. The instability creates a high possibility of thundersnow here when conditions are right. Just a pity its the end of November and not mid January, or of course much deeper cold as happened in 2010.

That was my thinking as well, SSTs too high at the moment unless we get deep cold. Inland over the high ground will be a different story I suspect.

Been a day of sunny intervals and showers. Seen several part rainbows whilst out and about, this was the best taken in Bridlington this morning.
