[Earliest it has snowed in Birmingham area?]

Could anybody tell me the earliest autumn day it has ever snowed in the Birmingham area? Interested to know

[Tuesday 6th November 2007]

It's been a beautiful day with long sunny periods, a gentle NW breeze and a max of 13c.

Clear sky this evening, 8c and falling.

Tamworth Staffordshire

Temp 9.4C and Clear.

[Does anybody take notice of the BBC monthly forcast?]

never done any check on it, but I would think well over better than even at 15 days otherwise they would not isse it.

I could not give figures as I have never tested its accuracy.

From my own experiience I would say 75-80% falling to 60-65% by day 15.

Quite a good guide then.

What is the accuweather forcasts like? I found that site today.

[Warmest and coldest November?]

Not quite. Coldest was way back in 1782 at 2.3c.

Where do you get these records from OP?

[Warmest and coldest November?]

Since 1659,

Warmest 1994 (10.1C)

Coldest 1915 (2.8C)

My God 10.1C. Funny I don't seem to remember it but it was only 13 years ago!

Thanks for that

nope, but the Met O 6-15 day outlook is a better one, not as long but more chance of being correct.

Thanks guys I have noticed that the BBC one changes every week so I guessed it was not up to much.
