Oh joy the dreaded SW airstream in full excelsis! Destest it! Current temp 14.8 degrees, probably the low tonight.. Incessant rain or drizzle, cloud covering valley bottoms, never see the Lake District brochures show such conditions, but alas plague these parts far far far too often.

Back from a quick visit to see friends in N Yorkshire. A really blowy return at lunchtime and rain not far away I believe.

Wait until the wind comes from the East. It gets very gusty around here.

So... for snow ideally where do we need it to come from N - NW - E or NE considering Glossop position?

[Scuba steve]

Pretty grim day the kind of weather I’m glad when darkness falls so I don’t have to look at it,quite breezy too

[A Face like Thunder]

Steady rain since 3pm and expecting wind to pick up overnight with a yellow weather warning in place until 11am tomorrow.

[severe snowstorm]

An overcast, but dry morning here and then the rain moved in early afternoon and was persistent for a couple of hours. A drier interlude now, but looks like further bursts of rain likely on and off throughout the evening and overnight with a windy end to the night.

[iand61]

A dry morning followed by an increasingly lousy afternoon of light rain interspersed with moderate rain and heavy rain.

nothing like a bit of variation in wetness

[I remember Atlantic 252]

January feel to things now, warmer in dull/wet than in clear/sunny, not expected to drop much below 15 degrees tonight, in SW winds and mild sector

[Rush2019]

Steady rain at the moment, calm for now and feeling quite mild.  As already stated, it's going to be a windy old night for the region, gusts peaking here in the early hours.

Did you manage to get your conservatory roof sorted ?

Anything snowy coming from the south fizzles with ne/e wind normally… storm Emma being an exception in March 2018 (since I’ve been living here) had powder snow with 2-3 foot drifts…4-6ft higher up… we  do well with frontal systems but depends on trajectory and wind direction here… streamers off the Irish Sea can bring the goods… 

wind wise if we get gales/storm with winds from east/north we can get increased gusts from effect of hills… in summer we can get fohn effect with southerly/se winds

I think so, the outlets were a bit gunged up with leaves and it coped during a pretty decent reservoir filler on Saturday so hopefully it’s ok again.

the lesson learned is to not leave it almost two years before I clean the gutters out again.

Typical overcast, damp and breezy October day. It has been mild though, max 16.3, min 12.8, still 15.1 now with 96% humidity. A very mild night.

[WillinGlossop]

Still 15c mild humid damp… will a squall line come through tomorrow? If so some strong winds… if not damp and windy…. We shall see… 

[itsnowjoke]

Still a bit warm but pouring down

[damianslaw]

Looking a notably wet period ahead... October most of the time is a washout.

Meh, 30-40 mph wind gusts is hardly noteworthy for October.

Yeah we are in a proper zonal pattern now, high-pressure to the south low-pressure to the north. Wetter than average in the north and dryer than average in the south and all areas milder than average.

 

We’ll soon be hearing that familiar phrase on the tv weather forecasts “at least it will be mild”

Still dry here (I think), I will probably get it in a bit, you’re just down the road from me.

Doesn’t look too bad here, still plenty of dry weather between weather systems. Had a look at the precipitation predictions, wetter than average for Scotland, drier than average for the south and the midlands, near average rainfall for north west England. All areas milder than average. 

 

The temperatures have been very consistent recently in the mild 13 to 16° range. October is the most boring month of the year. Too late for some summer warmth  but still too early for anything wintry. It is closest to Long term averages.

Yes. Back from a York stopover. Went through Middleham to Hawes had to detour around to get on to the Ribblehead B6255 everything totally closed in.

Challenging drive and it’s only October.
