    Then you are lucky. What shall we do? Rebuild our houses because they ‘haven’t been built very well’? Maybe a wall collapsing onto a child, roofs being ripped off completely and deposited into the street. Maybe people being without power for 10 days? It’s all happened locally to me since the end of November. Some of the damage still hasn’t been repaired. This was from wind gusting between 60-70mph. Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened elsewhere!

    I agree. It needs to be taken very seriously. My advisory would be to stay indoors until the wind eases.

    Gusts of 70-80 mph will do extensive damage to many houses. Many properties still have damage from the last storm. It’ll cost millions. Daytime will make it more hazardous.

    I wasn’t agreeing with ‘bin it’. I was saying that the speed or cost of the computer isn’t the reason people are questioning the output.

    The computers may be super expensive and fast, but they’re still dumb boxes that rely on software to make them useful.

    What’s going on here then? Output from Dark Sky for Durham.

    It might add a little extra moisture to the mix though, which may help with precipitation.

    But people are still hanging their hats at the Micro level, a full week out.

    I’m surprised people continue to be drawn 168+ hrs out. People should know that things change even up to 48hrs before. If the features are still there then, get excited.

    I did the Memorial service on Great Gable in the Lakes in Nov 1985. It was very snowy on the tops, about 6” deep and bitterly cold. My beer froze in my rucsac.

    Where exactly did you find the link please, so I can put it right? OK, found it in my Signature. Sorted, sorting hat. Thanks, Dave

    I remember it well. It was the first time i’d been to the Remembrance Day service on the top of Great Gable. Snow was a foot deep in places on the climb from Honister Pass. Temp was about -3 degC at 11am. We’d camped the night before in Buttermere and there had been freezing rain overnight. The road up Honister was lethal on foot, so we went cross country in the snow. Brilliant, brilliant day.

    Gilesgate, Durham City 7.2 degC to the 8th.

    Is anybody else getting a feeling in their water that January is going to push the all time 1916 record?
  21. Durham Weather
    Now up past 80mm for November and still only half way!

    We seem to be in one of those really wet spells at the moment that come along every so often, a bit like when the 1976 drought broke. All rain is heavy, with frequent daily totals over the 10mm mark. Here in Durham, every month since June has been wet. June 129.7mm July 77.7mm August 81.5mm September 81.0mm October 108.1mm November (1st-6th) 38.4mm More rain to come over the next couple of days, perhaps 30-40mm if the forecast is correct.

    Basically the insurance industry has established a position that they'll never, ever have to pay out on. Dave

    I can vouch for the fact that it wasn't just the south east. Up here on the East Durham Plateau, we got plastered with snow. A good foot of it. Dave

    I think the reason most of us don't look forward to winter in the UK is that it very rarely lives up to expectations. if it snows, it usually turns to slushy muck within a few days, and if the winter is mild we just get endless rain and very rarely blue skies and anticyclonic conditions. If winter is to impress, it has to be a proper one.
