Heat? No sign here. Winter clothes still. It's like back end tonight. Howling blustery wind and some rain. 13.3C.
Like back end alright, saying this week it was similar to October, been for a walk on the beach, wasn’t cold but the overcast drizzle ridden, overcast sky and a strong breeze constantly, had a fleece on and was too warm, took it off and goose bumps, this is July

People are going to suffer next week if anything like that comes off. Not just us but our pets too. I don’t see anything good about some of these temperatures being shown.
Some parts of the country could find themselves in major health emergency territory.
I have a black Labrador she hates the heat, at least we have a nice brown sea to cool off in I suppose

I think that area has done well this year compared to a lot of the region. I still haven't heard any thunder this year and we are nearing July.
I think I’ve only heard thunder one day this year back in May, there’s some noise coming from the Preston cell right now

Hefty cell around Preston but the whole thing from Wales to Yorkshire looks more like a mass of rain that's just increasing in intensity.
Can hear the cell over Preston, distant booms

I love the weather how it’s been today, not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, not too sunny, not too cloudy but a little on the dry side.
I love June love the light mornings and late nights, just need a good fall of rain to get my plants growing good, getting a bit naffed off with spending nearly an hour a day watering

I always go on about it, simply the best snowfall I've ever witnessed. 18 inches after about 30 hrs. Superb!
Yes the best snowfall in my lifetime thus far, can we get these Synoptics back in the near future I wonder

Last winter a number of frontal features missed Cumbria for some reason.. plenty were drawn into the south of the region as the cold blocks held to the north. There has been a tendency for low pressure systems to move in from the SW but come unstuck and head back south or south east missing Lancashire and Cumbria.
Best snowy frontal attacks for Cumbria is the classic stalling front with cold SE air ahead.. not had many of these. A good example 5 Feb 96.
Yes this was a one off, this was ridiculous for the fylde, better than 2010 but didn’t last too long

That’s the thing, fronts coming into cold air always seem to miss us (Cumbria) to the south now, which obviously benefits you!
In recent times yes they do, what we need is an attack from the west with some heavy precipitation, or similar direction that actually makes it this far and sustains it’s intensity

25th February 1989, Friday evening. Really chilly and it was raining but you could see it getting sleetier and sleetier then it started snowed heavily enough to give a covering as it gone dark which lasted into the next morning
and it happened almost 4 weeks later. Started off as rain but got sleetier and sleetier turned to snow and there was a covering which lasted into the next morning.
1st March 1995 that heralded the cold zonality. It was snowing at Liverpool because you could see the snow falling during This Morning with Richard and Judy and yet it was raining where I was. Then suddenly a burst of very fine ice pellets followed almost instantly by snow falling and trying to stick. Amazing, it was a very sharp transistion.
I was thinking of a March 1995 event during the morning, this must have been it

It does.
largest accumulation of snow I’ve seen since 2013 was 12 cm in Crosby on 08/03/18 from an epic rain to snow event.
I had a few cm from this but think it was during the night of the 1st, didn’t last long though before it melted I remember expecting it to stay like in December 2010, suppose later on in the season had an influence, even though it was a bitter airstream

It’s funny because I can recall quite a lot of rain to snow events here.
03/01/8, 05/1/10, 16/12/10, 16/12/11, 25/01/13, 26/12/14, 29/01/15, 30/01/15, 15/12/17,08/03/18 (my favourite), 02/01/21, 20/01/21 (storm Christoph), 23/01/21.
all of these started as 100% rain and turn to 100% snow and gave accumulations. All except the last 3 were recorded in Crosby. I think I forgotten a few and some of them I can’t put a date to
I can’t remember anything in recent years that gave anything more than an icing except jan ‘09 December’10, Jan 13, and the beast in ‘18, all these came on an easterly or a greenie, that’s for my location anyway, old style set ups were the best for here, but depends on your location as different set ups benefit different areas, if this makes sense Chris sorry

Yes, this is one thing that I remember being quite common growing up in the 90s that barely seems to happen anymore. Frosty periods followed by a relatively hefty fall of snow, followed by rain. You could get some pretty rough blizzard like conditions for a few hours. Can’t remember the last time it happened.
Rain to snow I had never seen i don’t think until a couple in our brief little 2009-2013 ‘mini mini ice age’.
Different weather set ups now whereas we don’t get that type of snow event any more, cold highs

I remember a lot of snow to rain events in the early-mid 90s. I was often disappointed in seeing a nice fall of snow only for it to be washed away by rain.
Yes, almost always ended up rain as the mild air pushed through
