Coldest minima 2021-2022 predictions and recordings

[damianslaw]

Thanks for stats. Still await first -10 in England.

Good to resurrect this thread. Just watched BBC forecast and was surprised they showed a -10 for Highlands tomorrow night. Shows we have cold uppers in the north and under a ridge and snowfall temps can drop a stone. Will we see lowest temp of season so far.. 10th and 11th Feb seems to be a cold night!

Please keep this thread alive! Look forward to early hours of Friday morning see if somewhere in Scotland beats current low.

What was the minima last night? Anywhere go below -10 as suggested by BBC?

Thanks nowhere near -10 degrees in the Highlands. I think there was too much of a breeze and perhaps not the deep snow cover BBC expected.

-7.8 Redesdale is cold.. but we still await a -10 degrees in England and looking at outlook looks a tall order to achieve this season. Such temps can be achieved fairly easily in March still.. I always think -10 degrees should be expected in an average winter. Weve had a few such as 2013-14 which never reached it. Please can someone remind me of lowest mins of each season England.

Thanks for stats .I'm wanting to know absolute mins for winters each year in England say since 1980 as a benchmark.

Braemar got down to -8.5, according to the link. Not sure there is much snow at village level, and I think you are right about the factors stopping it from going lower. If -10.3 (IIRC) isn’t beaten in the remaining 17 days or so of meteorological winter then I think this will be one of the highest overall winter low temperatures on record for the UK.

I can find a few on different sites but cannot find a liist of all,i thought someone would have one but will se what i can find if not.

Please could someone post current low minima for season 2021-22 England and Wales, and Scotland. Could be a low benchmark this year, time running out I feel, becomes difficult to achieve notably low minima past first week of March, and there is nothing on horizon to suggest that happening this year.

Just to note -12.8 deg has been recorded here in West Yorkshire as late as April 24th and -9.4 deg has been recorded as late as May 15th in Norfolk.
