About 4.9C, cloudy and getting cold

[Lynxus]

Apparently its snowing in Manchester ( Thats what a caller on radio 1 said anyway )

[Evening thunder]

Very wet with persistent heavy rain. Was quite calm but now the wind is picking up from the east. A few brief gaps possible looking at the radar but some more (thundery?) downpours likely this evening. A risk of a bit of localised flooding Id have thought.

10.4mm of rain in the last 2 hours, just over 7mm in the last hour.

Temp: 6.2°C

Dew point: 5.2°C

Wind: 7mpgh (E) gusting 15mph

Pressure: 986.9mb

Max temp: 9.1°C at 12:18

Min temp: 4.9°C at 03:40

Rain today: 11.4mm and counting.

Forgot to add, 194.8mm for the month now, likely to break the 200mm mark! 12.2mm today now.

Really is quite heavy at times recently.

Coldest day of the autumn/winter so far, max of 7.6c. Just goes to show how mild it has been this autumn.

[492]

Temperature peaked at 5.4c, down to 4.9c now and sunny.

It's not going to be frosty with all the moisture of the fog now is it?

If the temperature is below zero and its foggy then by definition it is freezing fog whether or not it is depositing rime. It is possible that at that temperature rime was being deposited on some surfaces whether it was observed or not.

[sunny scunny]

Cloudy with heavy rain for much of the morning, followed by a dry and cloudy afternoon.

Current temp is 5c.

[Snowyowl9]

Coldest night and day so far min of 2c and max of 5.3c with the sun breaking out.

A sleet shower earlier with a few wet snowflakes.

Snowcover over the mountains/snowline is high now at 700metres.

Already a wetter november to 2000 at 127mm previous wettest.

137mm now fields can`t take no more rain.

so if it stays around -2c all night and foggy there will be rime?????

[Ben_Cambs]

Temperature is now 4.6C and dropping, Dewpoint around 2C, Pressure 990mb, 84% humidity

Day Summary:

After a wet spell overnight, the day started on a bright note, but cold. But by lunchtime cloudy skies developed, and this was able to produce a little drizzle.

[492]

There may be particularly on surfaces that do not retain much heat e.g. metal five bar gates. However supercooled water droplets (fog) can exist down to very low temperatures without freezing so rime is not guaranteed.

yes its been like this all day and below zero two but as the temp approaches -3c its starting to freeze, lol its weird not having rost at -1c!

The trees will be all white over the 2nd best thing to snow freezing fog is in winter. :unsure:

Unless it`s freezing fog at just below 0c the ice will be heavier and clearer.
