Far North of England Regional Discussion: 21st May 2013 onwards

[4wd]

Sharp burst of rain gave 1.2mm, I think that's it done for now.

[Summer Sun]

The cloud is slowly thinning now from the north so some sunshine should start to develop for the next few hours before the sun sets

A spell of gale force westerly winds is expected later Sunday and through Monday across much of Scotland and perhaps the north of Northern Ireland. The public should be aware of the potential for some minor disruption to travel.

 

Chief Forecaster's assessment

 

A deep area of low pressure is expected to develop in the Atlantic on Sunday, tracking eastwards to be centred to the north of Scotland on Monday. This will bring some heavy rain on Sunday followed by squally showers on Monday. A swathe of very strong westerly winds is expected to develop later on Sunday and probably peak on Monday morning. Gusts of 50-60mph are likely, with the potential for 70mph across exposed coasts and hills, and a low risk briefly through the Central Lowlands of Scotland. As is usual in this situation there is some uncertainty over the track and intensity of the depression, and this alert may be updated over the coming days.

 

Areas affected

 

Northumberland

A spell of gale force westerly winds is expected later Sunday and through Monday across much of Scotland, the north of Northern Ireland, and then perhaps parts of northwest England and North Wales. The public should be aware of the potential for some minor disruption to travel. This is an update to the Alert issued on Thursday to include parts of northwest England and North Wales.

 

Chief Forecaster's assessment

 

A deep area of low pressure is expected to develop in the Atlantic on Sunday, tracking eastwards to be centred to the north of Scotland on Monday. This will bring some heavy rain on Sunday followed by squally showers on Monday. A swathe of strong westerly winds is expected to develop later on Sunday, with the first peak in wind speed across Scotland on Sunday afternoon/evening. This may be followed by a lull inland overnight before renewed strength develops on Monday, by which time gusty winds may extend through the Irish Sea into coastal parts of northwest England and North Wales. Gusts of 50-60mph are likely, with the potential for 70mph across exposed Scottish coasts and hills, and a low risk briefly through the Central Lowlands of Scotland. However, some sheltered locations within the yellow area will miss the worst of the winds. As is usual in this situation there is some uncertainty over the track and intensity of the depression, and this alert may be updated over the coming days.

The storm has failed to get started yet in Darlo winds have not been anywhere near as strong as forecast by the met office

 

Lots of heavy rain to our west but over Darlo we have a light drizzle

 

[4wd]

Same here just 0.4mm, wind is drying things if anything.There are heavier patches though so a lot of luck if you stay almost dry.

[Summer Sun]

Its arrived in the past few minutes

 

Very wet and windy over Darlo at the moment

[Summer Sun]

Its getting brighter from the north west sunshine isn't far away now

[Summer Sun]

Lots of sunshine over Darlo now still windy though

[Boro Snow]

Was that it, omg

[Summer Sun]

Was that it, omg

 

Yep that was it by the looks of it Scotland took the brunt tomorrow and Tuesday should both have plenty of sunshine for us with winds easing by midweek.

 

Next weekend looks like high pressure will be back sending deep lows over Iceland

 

[Isolated Frost]

Next 5 day summary looks to be, cooler than average, windy and wet at times. 6-10 day summary looks like it could be warmer and sunnier.

[Summer Sun]

Another glorious sunny day here in the NE been to redcar today hit 20c there and it felt warm as well with no sea breeze

 

20.3c in Darlo currently

[4wd]

Yes just gorgeous, this time of year you don't need worry about getting burnt either so lovely soft warm sunshine.
Just finished baling straw and put machines away until next year - so don't care what it does now. 

[Boro Snow]

What a contrast today has been horrible cold cloudy dank day, I'm sure it wasn't meant to be like this

Yep a lot more cloud today as per the forecast on Sunday, looks the same tomorrow the cloud may be thinner at times so maybe a bit more brightness

 

At this stage Friday to Sunday looks cloud free

[Summer Sun]

after 2 solid days of slate grey sky the end looks to be in sight

 

It looks like the cloud should thin more tomorrow for those in the north and east allowing a lot more sunshine to develop from sunrise

 

Friday to Sunday looks mostly cloud free for the region as well according to GFS (next gen)

 

Edit

 

BBC weather's weekend summary agrees with GFS next gen for this region

Chilly and drizzly this evening.

[Summer Sun]

As expected a brighter start in the NE today now we've lost the persistent cloud for once the north sea is bringing some clearer sky

[Summer Sun]

Dry, sunny and breezy at times will sum up this weekend and Monday with temperatures around 17c each day

[Boro Snow]

Defo chill in the air tonight

[Summer Sun]

Some stubborn cloud around at the moment but its thinning now and will continue to do so

[Boro Snow]

48 weeks ago we had our first snowfall of the autumn lets hope it's a repeat this year. Hate this weather in Sept/Oct,

[Summer Sun]

With the Azores keeping close by to at least mid October according to GFS it could be a while yet till we get any colder weather

[Summer Sun]

An east to south easterly wind here today is bringing with it plenty of sunshine there is some cloud around but it doesn't block the sunshine for long
