Frost Watch 22/23 November

[toggerob]

Parts of Cumbria already at 1'c through clearing skies even at 7pm this evening, many other places especially so Scotland through to Cheshire dropping below 4'c now. The BBC are confident of a ground frost tonight before the cloud shield comes across from the West.

Erm 6.3C here now. Falling slowly unfortunately.

Hopeful of the FIRST air frost of the season.

The BBC expected the minimum temperature in Glasgow to be 7C tonight.

However it was 6C at 4pm.

The GFS has also underestimated how low our temperatures can go under clear skies in late November.

Remember though that the coldest temperatures when skies stay clear is just as the sun rises.

That's a concern of mine. I don't think we will manage to hang on to the clear skies until dawn. That cloud currently over Western Ireland is making inroads very quickly.

6.2C now. >.<

Hey, 4 years ago in the middle of January I used to go mad if the maximum temperature was 5C and the minimum was 2C. It used to be amazing but after last December I know longer think a maximum of 0C is cold nor a minimum of -5C.

-0.2C here last night, second air frost of the season

Its clouded over in the past hour though so doesn't look like much hope tonight

Same.. I just hope threads like this don't become commonplace during winter!

You don't have to go back far though, for strange occurences in autumn.

In 2009, my First Air Frost of the 2009/10 autumn/winter season occured on the 1st December. Also, autumn 2006 was the warmest in the CET series (as I understand) and Autumn 2000 was very very wet in many places. Strangely, in spite of the warmth throughout the autumn of 2011, potentially another record breaker, is the continued lack of rainfall.

Back to the topic in hand, it's 8.0c at 19:30, clear skies and the temperature is falling at the rate of 1c per hour here in Newbury, having maxed out at 12.5c.

So maybe, just maybe, I can record my first air frost of the new autumn/winter season. :w00t:

Cheers

Can anyone who lives near me (near liverpool) give me their minimum temperatures since Thursday?

I've just looked on my weather station and it's read a minimum of 0.9C one day since Thursday?

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Must be clouding over here too, as the temperature's risen 1º in the past hour. I would go and check, but it takes me half an hour nowadays.

[No Balls Like Snow Balls]

7.4c at the moment, falling quite rapidly, hoping for my 3rd air frost LOL.

[Isolated Frost]

Lol, frost watch, late November, bad times!

Yep OON- a thin veil of cloud formed in NW England is moving eastwards, I should be moving up soon. Currently 2.1c.

I'd just spent a good while getting my son to carry out my telescopes for a night of hobbyfun too.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Aaron]

4.9c and clear.. hoping for any frost.. an air frost would be preferable though!

[toggerob]

Temp 4.1'c dropping -0.61/hr. After 8 weeks of consistent mild night temps it's a welcome change and something different in a long time. If this was a consistent trend I obviously wouldn't have created the thread, but I think most on here are looking for something to kill the consistent boredom after 2 months of little in the way of weather.

It ranged between 0.5c and 3.5c in the upper Dove valley (200-250m) an hour ago. Although this was measured using inaccurate car thermometers. So there's a fair inversion then.

[TonyH]

Cloud's gone now. Should be around midnight-1am when it comes back, more scattered east of the pennines though... it won't be a very cool night but some satisfactory frosts likely I think.

1.5c here by the way.

[Backtrack]

No cloud, but the breeze must be getting up.

5.7C to 5.9C in about 2 mins.

[Snowstorm1]

4.6c how the eck is IF getting that I don't know :')
