The 29th looks a very mild mean, heading towards double figures. We might need the leap day to break the record lol.

I was informed that the lack of staff and resources is likely why the CET has been poor at getting updates the past week according to Dan Harris who is a Met. Annoying but at least there's a possible known reason why this has been the case.

Nice to hear from you again bruensryan. It was all very close between them 4 months for the uk as a whole. All around the low 15’s

 

edit: just realised June was significantly warmer near 16c

Is it really going to drop 0.4C over 3 days though? I'd say it's very borderline whether it will drop into the 16s. I'd say if it does, it could still be a rounded 17C. Another warm night across the CET zone last night with none of the stations dropping below 13C. Tomorrow night doesn't look all that cold to me and it will be cloudier further north. Saturday is the final day of the month so the 'following days' doesn't apply here.

Friday night min will only be around 7c forecast. That’s enough to take us into the 16’s

Tropical Storm Nigel will give us a real chance of breaking the September record as it drags up long fetch south westerlies later next week into the following week potentially

If the first 10 days average 20.3, the second 10 days estimated for 16.0 the last 10 days would need to hit 14.5 to finish on 16.93

Are there any live webcams round Newcastle? The lightning looks good on the radar

Is there a site that tracks the highest UK readings in real time? Netweather's tracker is okay but updates only hourly.

I couldn’t find one. The met office twitter is good if records are being broken like today with Heathrow.

Ukmo has 5 straight days of -9+ uppers just about. That’s amazing!

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Look out for the temperature falling on Saturday. Highest readings look to be dawn, gradually falling through the day as the easterly approaches

What is the record for an arctic high? 

“1083.8mb

The highest barometric pressure ever recorded was 1083.8mb (32 in) at Agata, Siberia, Russia (alt. 262m or 862ft) on 31 December 1968. This pressure corresponds to being at an altitude of nearly 600 m (2,000 ft) below sea level!”

Longer sea track

I wonder if there’s some atmospheric aspect  too from changing elevations effecting weather patterns?

From past experiences the places north of the north York moors always fare better than to the south. Never worked that out yet

It’s not often you see these temperatures on the coast, biting wind too straight off the peer

Actually it produced very little, so little our golf course stayed open most of the time but just to our north and south and west there was more than enough.

Thanks. I suppose it can miss us then but low possibility

I’ve never known such cold uppers not bring good snowfall to this area. The only time I’m not certain on was that spell at the end of March 2013. Did that spell produce much for this area?

I think this is shaping up to be one of those memorable cold snowy spells. It can’t go wrong now surely?

The length of time(7 days +) under -9/10’s+ is something that hasn’t happened since the last 3rd of March 2013. We managed  a 10 day streak then

Feb/March 2018 around 5 days

Jan 2013= only 2 days

Jan 2010=5 days

Nov/ early Dec 2010=7 days

 mid Dec 2010=8 days
