Cold, but not exceptionally so, for the next week to 10 days. The CET today is quite likely to be within 2C of the daily record (12.3C in 1856). To be that close to the daily record low, we'd need today to averaging around -4C!

Anyway, the 06z GFS has the CET as follows:

Rolling CET. Anomaly to 81-10 rolling CET.....(daily mean: anomaly to 81-10 daily mean)

7.1C to the 7th +1.4C......(10.6C: +5.8C)
6.5C to the 8th +1.0C......(2.3C: -2.1C)
5.8C to the 9th +0.4C......(0.6C: -3.9C)
5.3C to the 10th +0.0C.....(0.8C: -3.5C)
5.1C to the 11th -0.1C.....(2.7C: -1.5C)
4.8C to the 12th -0.3C.....(2.1C: -2.1C)
4.7C to the 13th -0.3C.....(3.5C: -1.1C)
4.6C to the 14th -0.5C.....(2.5C: -1.9C)
4.4C to the 15th -0.6C.....(2.1C: -2.5C)
4.3C to the 16th -0.7C.....(2.4C: -2.2C)

Sunny Sheffield at 5.9C -0.6C some very cold weather over the weekend with temperatures around zero so big drops expected. Before then another rise tomorrow unless we hit a low value tonight.

PIT and other observers, how much precip so far? I wanted to track that but have been busy with a move, does not seem like a lot has fallen so far around the country.

Bit of a north-south divide at the moment which is skewing the CET values on the milder side, the week ahead looks cold, notably in the next 2-3 days so we should see the CET below average by next weekend, thereafter, a milder blip may occur, for how long who knows.

Does it not make sense to quote the current low for the month, alongside the current high? I don't see any reason why we should favour one over the other.

Despite the cold spell, and the forecast drop in the CET, it seems the CET won't dip too far below average for the foreseeable future. Anything from well below average to moderately above average is still very much possible, depending on what the 2nd half of the month throws at us. Below is what the 06z GFS today shows for the CET.

Rolling CET Anomaly to 81-10 rolling avg... (Daily Avg: Anomaly to 81-10 daily avg)

4.6C to the 11th  -0.6C... (-0.3C: -4.5C)    
4.2C to the 12th  -0.9C... (0.5C: -3.7C)    
4.0C to the 13th  -1.0C... (1.6C: -3.0C)    
4.0C to the 14th  -1.1C... (3.0C: -1.4C)    
3.9C to the 15th  -1.1C... (3.3C: -1.3C)    
3.8C to the 16th  -1.1C... (2.6C: -2.0C)    
3.8C to the 17th  -1.1C... (3.6C: -0.8C)    
3.7C to the 18th  -1.2C... (2.4C: -2.0C)    
3.7C to the 19th  -1.2C... (3.3C: -1.0C)    
3.8C to the 20th  -1.0C... (5.2:C +1.5C)    

 

Below is a graph showing this month's rolling CET in blue (plus 10 day forecast, shown by the thinner line), with the 81-10 rolling CET in orange, and the daily recorded and predicted values for the next ten days as black points. The max and min of the CET so far are shown by the orange and purple points respectively.

A marked drop likely over the coming days despite a bit of milder air. Today and tomorrow will produce very low means, possibly the lowest for four years, anyone have the stats?

From mid-month a probable rise or plateau, but far too early to call how the month will eventually play out, a milder phase may be cancelled out by a cold end.
