Have had one air frost this autumn on the night of nov 6th at -0.4c. Strange because if you thought Backtrack was near the coast then i surtainly am, yet i've had an air frost and he hasn't! Don't forget though that i'm sure that there was an easterly wind that night so the warmth of the irish sea wouldn't have been as significant in my location. Currently 3.9c here with the odd shower but more frequent clear spells.

temp is 5.9c here on the coast with recent rain so Backtrack's temp sounds about right

posted this in the weather reports thread earlier on. "Have just been down to Crosby beach and witnessed one hell of a cold front! Had just arrived and the temperature was 14c. The waves were really amazing braking over the sea wall and flooding the promenade. Then, it started to rain and hail. It was one amazing squall line. At its hight, the hail was torrential, and the waves were braking on cars in the car park! The wind veered from the SSW to the WNW as the front moved through. I didn't even realise a cold front was coming but you could tell it was from the way in which it moved through. It's too hard to explain how dramatic it was! Have just arrived back home and the temp is now 6.9c, WOW!

Strangely calm here, not even a light breeze. It wasn't even a windy night. What's going on? I'm on the coast

Liverpool airport TAF going for "heavy rain showers and thunderstorm rain" between 25 @22UTC and 26@02UTC. Interesting

Been having heavy showers for the last half hour, interested to se if I get anything thundery tonight.

I only really post on here when there's interesting weather around. Wind getting up quite a bit now, temp 16c

Hi all. Well I must say I'm excited about this evening. Hello to all you other north westerners by the way. The irish sea will give us some nice hail and thunder showers tonight i'm sure. I'll never forget the 17th of december last year. About time we had some exciting weather. Cloudy and windy with some light showers atm. I'm in the best place tonight on the sefton coast I think.

Had a torrential hail storm about half an hour ago accompanied by very gusty winds. The hail was quite small but loud against the windows. Hoping for some more later and maybe some thunder!

No thunder here and no sferics apparent either though there was a few near by earlier.

Hoping for something interesting later today, have already had some moderate showers and am having quite a heavy shower ATM.

After a spell of moderate rain witch I take it was the warm front, the wind has started to pick up, especially in the last few minutes.

Yes SP, am keeping an eye on the spring tides, tide was coming in earlier and the high spring tide is at 2230z tomorro for liverpool. Tide was already high up the beach when I got therre and I should think it will be up to the top of the sea wall tomorro

Was quite windy on the beach and the waves seemed to be increasing. OMG There's a "guess the gust thread! wat next

Hi not that windy here about a mile inland though it was gusty earlier. Am off to Crosby beach now so will report back on the wind strength there in about half an hour.

another incredible downpour has just woke me up, the garden is flooded again! There's some powerfull cells out there this morning. edit, that rain was so heavy it's set a car alarm off!

Just had an incredible downpour! No thunder but the rainfall was unforgetable.

just had another heavy shower proceded by a huge clap of thunder. And Now another but further away. Edit, and another but from a different cell! And now a booming CG!

A really nice storm that, quite freequent lightning for a time. Closist strike was around 1 mile away. Headed off south east now but has lost it's intencity and is no longer electrified. Exactly 2 months since my last thunder. Starting to rain again now so hope something elce comes.

at last a thunderstorm is coming. Have heard 10 rumbles from it so far and it's getting closer and intensifing. currently to my south west.

Liverpool airport meta EGGP are going for TSRA (thunderstorm rain) from 26 @15z to 26 @21z. Interesting.

Looking good for me here in Liverpool I think, I'm about as far west as you can go in NW england. Already had 2 quite heavy showers this morning. Great forecast from Nick there!

Well I was feeling a little fed up today because the weather was just rubbish wet and windy. Now all of a sudden it has become really humid and warm and have just had a short torrential downpour! Havn't been checking the forecasts so was a nice surprise. Hoping for some thunder overnight. We sometimes do well from these setups

just had another torrential downpour, there's some active little cells out there now. Wouldn't be surprised if they started to become electrical soon.
