Frost HoIIow

Yes warmer than average and average is around 20C so we've spent most of the summer higher than that. We spend most of our time indoors and above average temps with the strong sun can send temps indoors a good few Celsius higher than that. Until recently it was consistently above 20C+ indoors throughout July, August and early September. Which is basically like having the heating on. That warmth is enough for me to sweat unless I'm in shorts and t shirt all the time which mitigates it a bit. Now it's more like 15-18C inside without the heating on. Hence no more sweating.

Each to their own but the next 6 months are going to be bliss and a relief for me. I'm finally not sweating after that dreadful hot summer that seemed never ending and now able to cool down without having to have the bedroom air con switched on.

Most of Buxton is also in a frost hollow as it sits in a bowl, a high altitude one of course, and so like lower valleys cold pools into there at night. But at lower altitudes it warms up quicker when day comes but because Buxton is 1000 feet it's a cold place by both day and night. An interesting place for a weather enthusiast for sure.

You know silly season is almost here when the ensembles start to go crazy

As others have pointed out in the snow and ice thread there's been an early start this year to our east in Siberia with some decent snow and ice coverage. Also the potential for the far north of China to see some snow on Thursday as seen below in the city of Mohe. About a month earlier than normal. Winters are brutal there. Never been above zero in December and January incredible range of extreme temperatures too looking at their records. In the past it's been below -50C in winter and close to 40C in summer. Like the summer we had here this year.

It chucked it down last night here, pots full of water when I got up this morning. But we've been lucky through today that it's been mostly dry, we was in the gap of the showers almost all day.

The fairer sex but never been fair on my wallet

A relatively chilly start this morning with a low of 2.7C. Probably another chilly one tonight depending on cloud. Had a drive to a relatives in Saddleworth and thought I'd have a look at how low Dovestone reservoir is and it is looking very low at the moment. Most of the bank is showing....Don't think I've ever seen it so low. The united utilities reservoir levels are spot on for the Pennines of around 35% full, I can believe it.

After a foggy start it turned into a nice day here and warm enough in the sun. But maybe today was the last of the "warm" days? Turning cooler from tomorrow and probably feeling chilly at times in the breeze with temps struggling to get much above 10C early next week. Into October there isn't much proper mild on the way, definitely not the usual well above normal temperatures that we've had most years at that stage. Long way out but we keep getting these repeated cold plunges from the north. You can bet your life they will be absent in Winter once that menacing PV gets a strangle hold towards our NW!

We didn't get central heating until 1996 and no double glazing until 1998. Before then we had a gas fire in the living room but no heating source anywhere else in the house. It was freezing at times for sure and had ice on the insides of the bedroom window during colder winters before we got double glazing but once under the duvet it was warm enough and didn't do us any harm. When at home we spent most of our time in the living room away from the cold rooms with the gas fire on which was super warm.

There needs to be a miracle for it to snow in London. At times it's bad enough here oop norf

Wet afternoon so far. But the reservoirs badly need it so I'm not too bothered. My app says a max of just 10C on Tuesday here, that is a notably cool day for September. Had days in January a bit milder than that.

If I lived on my own it would hardly come on at all. Probably just enough to keep damp at bay but other than that apart from proper cold spells I wouldn't put it on. Rather not put money in the pockets of greedy energy companies. Unfortunately unless it's a heatwave my wife feels cold almost all year round so I don't get much say on it.

Possibly another chilly blast from the north in a weeks time but probably no frost this time given it'll be too breezy with the risk of rain. It'll probably feel raw though in the wind for the time of year. Had many a day in November warmer than these synoptics. A bit of snow for the Scottish mountains too.

Yes last winter was absolutely rubbish here. Just one brief dusting, certainly up there with the worst ever. The only thing that saved it was 4 inches of snow that fell one day at the back end of November last year but of course that wasn't Winter. 2020-21 however was far better round here, we had about 6 separate snow coverings albeit nothing all that heavy. But still a much better attempt than last winter!

Not a bad day for her maj and her send off. Looks like we won't see any warmth in the near future, maybe a touch milder over the next couple of days but then turning cooler again. Will September end up slightly below average CET wise once we get to the final days? Still above at the moment.

That reminds of this Remember this advert from the 90s/early 2000s? No doubt banned today

Great pics, yes it's sad to see green spaces being torn up for housing, seems to be happening all over and all it's going to do is cause more climate change because of more concrete and poorer drainage when we get downpours leading to floods on these new developments. I'm noticing the leaves beginning to turn round here too, very subtle at the moment but give it a week or two and those colours will come alive. It's supposed to be a good foliage colour this year with the hot dry summer.

At the airport? Seems fine https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/weather/current/EGCC.html

-0.6C was the low here so the first air frost of the Autumn. Like Damian says we often have to wait a while longer to have one so this is an early start.

Yeah this early chill is a welcome relief to that ridiculous heat we had in summer. I stood outside this morning as temps plummeted and I had a big smile on my face.

-0.6c was the low here so the first air frost. Unusual in September but not unheard of. A bit of visible frost on some surfaces too. Warmed up now and a bit of a breeze kicking in. Good drying weather.

4.7C here. Probably end up at 1 or 2C by morning. Missing an air frost but grass frost certainly achieved.

Down to 4.7C here. Not quite on the same level as Shap or Benson which both sit at 3C at the moment but we'll probably go as low as 1 or 2C by morning so just missing out on an air frost.

April 2021 was far colder though had snow cover here. Temps struggled in the mid single digits as max temps. Coldest April since 1989.
