    @cheese it is very mild in other places further west such as North Wales- although not to the same extent. The previous record breaking day in January 2003 (in Scotland) was also unremarkable for many places. @Weather-history and 15C in Rhyl which is surprising given it's only 60 miles or so from Manchester.

    @Snowyowl9 Not sure how that's relevant to my point at all? It certainly wasn't cold last night. It's pretty normal for higher uppers not to be reflected at the surface in winter. And the all time UK record for January has just gone in Scotland...

    @damianslaw It hasn't been exceptionally cold at any stage though. No ice days here or anywhere close in the end. A couple of notably cold nights but other than that nothing particularly memorable. December 2022 was quite memorable and it was exceptionally cold for a while. It was 15.4C here the other day so you could argue the mild weather has been more notable.

    Yes very mild feeling now- feels more like a nice day in early/mid March with the much lighter winds.

    @A Face like Thunder at Rostherne yes. I can't recall too many 15C+ days in January in this area (if any). The Foehn effect isn't a factor around here which limits how high we can go normally. That said we've entered the last 3rd of the month now so slightly higher temps are perhaps becoming possible. By the first week of February we can see temps widely in the mid teens in the right setup (2004 was an example of this).

    15.4C at Rostherne today. I imagine that could be an all time record for the site for January as it's only been operational for around a decade. Really remarkable considering no one expected temps that high.
  7. Scorcher
    15.4C at Rostherne near me today- quite remarkable really given none of the forecasts predicted those sorts of temperatures. It also didn't really feel that mild given the strength of the wind.

    I don't think it is snowing more in Manchester. Unless someone has some statistics to prove it? Snow still isn't common during winter. There have been some notable snowy spells in recent years but then also very long snowless periods. Even in the winters of the late 90s/early 2000s we would still usually get a covering at some point.

    This month is already easily sunnier than December locally. Rostherne will be close to or in excess of 40 hours after today. Only 1.8mm of precipitation since the 3rd as well.
  10. Scorcher
    Yes I gathered, but it's not exactly a standard NW/SE split when most of the south east hasn't been sunny either in the last 6 months.

    It hasn't been that sunny at Heathrow either over the past few months- in fact December was duller than here at Heathrow. September was only slightly above the seasonal average for sunshine there and October and November around average. July and August were both considerably below average but less so than here.
  12. Scorcher
    Yes hard to forget that terrible July and August. September was only around average sunshine-wise in this area. Looks like Rostherne only recorded 510 hours of sunshine for the 2nd half of the year from July to December.

    Yesterday was actually the sunniest day here for some time, with 3.4 hours of sunshine. It still ended up being very wet though once the cloud returned with 11.4mm of rain in the end. The 2nd half of December was extraordinarily dull here. Only 4.9 hours of sunshine between the 17th and the 31st. Very difficult not to feel down after such a long stretch of gloom.

    What a truly horrific period of weather this has been. A long dry period is needed now. One of the most depressing periods I can remember in my life. I'm not usually a cold fan but I will take anything to break this pattern and allow the ground to dry out. The sight of my constantly waterlogged garden with a backdrop of relentless grey is hugely depressing.
  15. Scorcher
    I think the question might have been whether there has been a 7.0C month on the button- which there hasn't. Plenty of 7C+ Decembers though yes.
  16. Scorcher
    8 days ago it was glorious across Cheshire with 5.7 hours of sunshine and a max of 12.6C. It has been rather dull since though.
  17. Scorcher
    The last week or even 10 days has been 2015-esque. Really exceptionally mild and consistently so. Even in December 2015 I don't remember waking up to many 13C mornings. Personally even though I don't enjoy prolonged cold, I would prefer something colder and more seasonal around Christmas.
  18. Scorcher
    Our sunniest day this month (5.7 hours) had a max of 12.6C. So mild air doesn't necessarily mean dull all the time, and colder air certainly doesn't guarantee brightness either. That cold spell last December was rather dull here mostly- we recorded no sunshine at all for 4 consecutive days between the 10th and the 13th.
  19. Scorcher
    Wasn't the winter of 2011/12 pretty dry and mild up to February? As others have said, it's hard to get a stable high pressure in the right position that sticks around at this time of year.
  20. Scorcher
    I've always found it strange that they persist with an incorrect forecast, even though they could look out of the window in some cases and see it's wrong.
  21. Scorcher
    12.6C with 5.7 hours of sunshine yesterday at my local weather station Rostherne. A quite remarkable day at the darkest time of year.
  22. Scorcher
    Yes Rostherne reached 12.6C yesterday and also recorded 5.7 hours of sunshine- hugely impressive. One of the mildest sunny days in winter I can remember outside February.
  23. Scorcher
    Big contrast to what we've had here- beautiful day and still very light even now. You really wouldn't think we were at the peak of darkness here today.
  24. Scorcher
    What did I tell you about sunshine being possible in Manchester in this setup . True that I often yearn for days like this in March. I would certainly be remarking about what a lovely spring day this was if it was in March.
  25. Scorcher
    Nothing new there with the Met Office vastly overestimating cloud though. I don't know why they can never see the error of their ways. Not only is it a lot brighter than forecast in the Manchester area- it's actually been almost unbroken sunshine so far.
