Was that the January where we had an epic fall of snow where there was like 2ft of snow in 1night in late January I think it was.
I remember an epic snowfall 1 night when I was a kid in January where we had the mother of all snowstorms in 1 night the snow was relentless huge flakes and ended up with about 2 ft of snow in Sheffield.
The Great Yorkshire Dump. I remember it well and it's still unbeaten here in Crossgates. Shows what happens when a marginal event turns to be just perfect for snow.
It was raining when I was walking home from school. Dropped my school bag off at home and headed to the papershop. Some sleet was showing in the streetlamps but I thought nothing of it. I had noticed more sleety snow during my paperound but the shock was when I came out of the shop after dropping my bag off. Snow was heavy and settling. I glanced out of the window at home every so often, counting the bricks visible on the chimneys opposite. By 9pm I didn't need to count the bricks as the depth was quite obvious... It brought all the telephone lines down outside too.That was the 25th. The following days were spent dodging roof avalanches on the paperound. By the weekend most of the snow had already fallen from alot of roofs which made things fun...
To this day I wonder how rare an event it was and how often it has happened in the UK past.

Hope you recover quickly.
This pic is from the Feb 1991 Easterly, taken in Crossgates Leeds. I do wonder if a morning scene like this will happen again.

Been watching snow showers pass through, it's nice to see some signs of winter for a change!
The Dec 2010 event here was at most 18cm over several days. It didn't beat the 40-odd cm that fell in Feb 1991 and Jan 1995. I still remain doubtful that those events will ever be met or beaten but the March 2013 event came close and gives me some hope!

That forecast brought over a foot/30cm of snow to my area. Waking up and opening the curtains to this was epic. Aside from the Great Yorkshire Dump in late Jan 1995, it's not happened since.

I would like a breeze, opening windows does so little at the moment and i'm trying to cut back with relying on Air Conditioning!

According to the Leeds Uni weather station, it hit 27.7ºC in Leeds today.... Not sure on the specifics of the station so I can't say how accurate that temperature is.

The humidity here has/is quite something! My glasses misted up when I got out of the work car XD! Must say, it's not overly unbearable when one climatises to it and the alternatives are considered.

October/November is the time during Autumn when the term 'Indian summer' should be used, not September.
I've always believed this is a main part of the definition to the term ''Indian Summer'' too. Just googling ''indian summer definition'' brings up tonnes of stuff saying late Autumn or October/November.
September for me is the Summer version of December to Autumn (or in recent Winters, Winter as a whole...) and March to Winter.

I'm curious to see if we'll get anything storm wise. It's been so long since the last decent one that flooded the back street and caused a power cut.

Seriously looking like the next several nights will be horrendous, high humidity and high temps, utterly vile. Especially further south you are.
Yeah it's not gonna be nice. I usually sleep with the a/c on, set to 23C as I found anything lower just kills the unit faster! Earplugs are a must too...!

Like I said before, I want August to be as hot as July 2006 or 2018, or even 1983. The current August record is so far behind the warmest Julys, yet a typical August isn't distinguiahable from a typical July by climate.
A lot of people seem to lack common sense when it comes to keeping houses cool in summer. Only open windows at night, and keep blinds or curtains closed during peak heat.
My dad shuts every window in the house at nightfall. Irritates the life out of me.... AC is only in my bedroom....

The issue with my house is the storage heater effect from the bricks at night. That and my continual use of old electronics made me get A/C.
I don't like the heat but it's summer and we need some lovely weather.

Slept lovely, woke up to the bedroom at 17ºC. I really needed the sleep!

Given the choice, i'd be somewhere cold. I'm a Yorkshireman and it's in my blood. However, as i've mentioned before I tend to use the summer for boosting my heat tolerance with a side effect of being a giant troll who wears a fleece still. For some reason it really triggers some people.
Looking forward to not waking up at 4am tonight. For the last 3 nights i've woke up, relented and put the a/c back on.

It's just got dark here. Passing shower, the main part of the rain is too far west.
-
I'm wondering if anything will kick off around sunset and into the evening? Also curious about tomorrow's forecasted activity.

Interesting how quickly the temperature plummeted according to the graph on here:
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Was worried it would pass to far east. As it happens it passed here too far west XD! Got the edge of it here.

It looks like the storm has built a little more on it's western side.

Skies are looking angry to my south east.

Woke up to no snow but it's now snowing in Crossgates. Looks heavy on the CCTV camera.
