[Storm Eunice - 18th February]

What's the likely range of gusts for Leeds? I know we'll not be in the worst of it but I have solar on the west facing side of the roof...

It felt alot colder just now when I emerged from an underground car park in Leeds to drop off keys.

Cold rain with what looks like sleet in the mix.

I saw the email too.

Glad I replaced all 6 batteries in my slightly overkill whole room UPS.

Work are sending me to Newcastle today. Having to go via Harrogate as A1M is closed at Wetherby.  Will see how bad it is on the way home!!

[Have you turned your heating on yet?]

My heating has been used sporadically over summer for 30 mins to an hour so I can circulate the water round and not have it sit or the pump to develop issues.... It's on a thermostat anyway and will come on when the house cools down enough.

It's definitely a preference and anything hot and humid isn't one of mine. Mostly for health reasons that may also force me avoid the icy cold weather more too now

As uncomfortable as it may be, the summer heat does give us the lovely edible things like these enormous figs from the tree in my back garden. That in itself is one of the nice things of Summer.

I'm gonna melt...

What's the storm potential for next weekend, specifically the Sunday?

I'm working outside at a football match in Leeds and I can't dry my uniform for the following work week.

What's the rain potential with the heatwave? 

I have a sash window and I usually leave the A/C hoses mounted in the adaptor and close the window on it. Trouble is when storms happen - it leaks in under the adaptor.

 I've got a portable a/c, it's certainly been the best thing in the world at the moment.... Electric wise, it's added £20 to the bill since last Saturday - I have 2KW solar too which lowers the daytime consumption.

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

It's been a cracking spell of weather. Whilst it's not my favorite thing in the world, it's still nice to see most people enjoying it. Hopefully the coming storms are not too disruptive.

 

Been debating with myself about getting whole house ventilation fitted to the upstairs landing ceiling and roof to help draw out the heat.

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

Is this the sort of weather that is likely to increase ozone levels if rush hour traffic increases this coming week?

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

Outside, I find keeping the fleece on is more comfortable than the heat of the sun on skin, though it does trigger too many people doing that for some reason. Indoors I use a/c during the day but switch to an adapted bathroom vent fan overnight to draw in air from outside.

I see Liverpool Airport has hit 30ºC, according to the top 20. 

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

I'm looking forward to this upcoming short spell of Summer.

Since getting the Asthma diagnosis and starting the preventer, the weather has been too kind..... Amongst other things, I need to see if heatwaves (more specifically plume type high humidity heatwaves though) still trigger breathing issues.

 

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

Looking forward to fresher weather. Thursday was horrid, Friday was slightly better and today is quite nice so far. Got diagnosed with Asthma 2 days ago and promptly managed to set it off with the high humidity, pollen, traffic pollution or whatever it was... i'm new to it and still finding out what triggers it.

[Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter]

Was it 2015 that had a really hot spell early on in Summer? I remember it reminding me of being in California as the humidity wasn't overly high.

[Yorkshire and E England regional discussion]

The doorbell got an awesome lightning ambiance still earlier.

[Yorkshire and E England regional discussion]

This storm was quite something! Can I go back to sleep yet?

[Weather in the general media (Newspaper features etc)]

Beware the Arctic Dome xD! This cropped up in Leeds Live and Yorkshire Live yesterday......

 

 

'Arctic dome' set to hit UK today with snow warning and freezing temperatures expected 'until Easter' - YorkshireLive

I've got my snow magnet on full power to suck it further North 

I was gonna offer it a sacrifice to draw it here. Not sure If I should offer it the boiler or air con unit....

Lovely winter sun here in Crossgates. Have a pic from my doorbell.

We have these too, however, the next street over still has some (six) of the orange sodium lights and, during the very heavy snow with the big flakes last night, I could see that effect from 100m or so away. Brought back fond memories.... Might need to move streets!

I have a few saved low pressure sodium streetlight heads and a sleeve for a column. Been tempted to find a used column from the web and mount my own in the back garden.

I'm sure the neighbours won't mind too much...XD!

I'm in the mindset of ''if it can happen in any region, it'll happen here eventually''. Snow watching is the winter equivalent of storm watching. This is still just as important:
