    January 2017 Weather Statistics

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    January ended up a cool dry month here, plenty of frosts and lots of foggy/cloudy days that kept the daytime temperatures down. 

    Most notable thing about January was how dry it was with just over 50% of the average rainfall, most of that we received on the first day and last day of the month.

    Towards the end of the month during the period where we had slack continental flow we suffered around 5 days straight of low cloud and fog and scenes like this became the regular.

    Highlight of the month was Friday the 13th where in the early hours we received 2cm of wet snow. This is our only day of lying snow so far this winter.

    Here's the big 3 for next Monday morning

    GFS clearly the most progressive with send the cold air westwards towards the UK.

    UKMO very nice with vertical WAA up towards Svalbard, what we need to see next is lower heights over central Europe to help advect that colder air towards us.

    ECM probably the "worst" of the 3 however cold air is marching already into eastern Europe, again lower heights over central Europe around Germany/Poland is what we are after which doesn't quite happen as the colder air starts to sink down towards SE Europe at 168 (surprise surprise).

    All in all not a bad set of runs as we head into the final winter month, can we hit the jackpot for snow and cold? No idea, sorry.

    I often visit the chat room, always been in favour in having one as its a good place to go to chat with like minded weather fanatics.

    Although its been mainly quiet in there I would imagine during a proper wintry spell it would get some good action, something we've not seen since the chat room has been up and running.

    With regards to the actual chat room itself, it doesn't need any features for me, other than being able to go in a chat, the current one is great in my opinion.

    Another slight drop to 3.3c here overnight, 0.2c below the 1981-2010 average.

    Another couple of drops likely before a return to average or just above from the weekend.

    Only 23mm so far this month which is quite a bit down on average, however this could jump up a bit with some rain forecast before months end.

    Well in whats been the most frustrating winter that I can remember we have to be thankful for the tiny crumbs we've been given......Tomorrow looks very cold and will be Sheffields first ice day in a long time. Looking forward to it, especialy as windchill will make it feel well below 0 :cold:

    Hi Chris, similar forecast for here, although not sure it'll go down as an official ice as frustratingly its 2c currently and not forecast to drop below freezing until 3am.

    Its been above average here too. We haven't gone below -1.7C all month and have only had 5 air frosts.

    The CET is higher than expected as the North of the CET zone has been relatively mild. I imagine Scotland and Northern Ireland will have had quite a mild January overall.

    Looking on Wunderground your station has a mean of 4.3c so far this month, I would expect this is around/slightly below average in comparison to the 1981-2010 average?

    We are at 3.4c to the 24th, 0.1c below the 1981-2010 average.

    Another few drops look likely before its set to become somewhat milder from the weekend.
