Northwest Weather Discussion

[severe snowstorm]

A bit brighter today than yesterday, warm again, reached 18.7C.

A real contrast to come by the end of the week, automated metoffice output showing double figures only just being scraped by day and overnight lows of 3 or 4C so chance of ground frost at night.

Last of the late season warmth today? We shall see, but we are now into mid October, the sun has same strength as late February.

A rather dull damp day at times. 

Looking forward to crisper sunny days by the end of week, and probably that first feel of proper Autumn.

Ur another I've followed Ian. A shame the snows getting less frequent. Grew up on the West Pennine moors and used to get "snowed in" regular. 

It's just not the same now for the most part. Believe me I love the snow. I'm the guy up and walking in it with my camera at 2am! before it turns to rain these days haha. 

Il have to dig some old photos out. Whenever you describe the whether in your location it's always almost identical to where I lived until recently. Elevation is key usually. 

Still family living up there so we aim to arrive before the snow and enjoy. 

Live much lower down now at 140m asl. It really does make a difference. We do OK sometimes but it's just not the same. 

Keep up the good posts and thanks for the reply.

I'm just reminding people what snow looked like so that they can identify it if any is spotted in autumn or winter.

Football also helps to lighten the gloom of a forecast like tomorrow's, but not when Crewe Alex are playing as they are tonight!

[Dark Horse]

Looks like one of those days tomorrow where the temp actually drops through the day instead of rises as cooler air moves in and winds swing more from the NW.

More or less continuous here in the south of the region although the heaviest rain seems to be in Wales, as per the yellow weather warning there. Yellow weather warning for rain already in place for the Region on Friday.  

[Dan B]

10°C and lashing it down here... Back gardens already started to flood a bit as the grounds still saturated from the last downfall...

Yeah, when they get it wrong in a bad way, we always seem to get the worst of it. It happened the other way round last week when the trailing front forecast for southern Scotland parked itself over us. 

We always say it, but if this was snow we'd be bone dry.

Your very well travelled my friend. I have family around the world too. Ireland, America, new Zealand, Italy, tenerife. 

Properties is an amazing thing to get into it's something my father does. 

I've 4 young children so difficult to travel at the moment but maybe in the future. Keep the updates going, it's nice to be able to come on a forum and be blessed with positive comments etc. You don't get that in many groups etc these days. 

Enjoy the rest of your trip. 

It is lovely to have family to visit abroad… my oldest niece is in New Zealand… would love to go back there but you need to break up the journey…

Up early to the sound of the Howler monkeys and the birds… just coming upto 7am… just on edge of Cahuita national park… little hung over the dawn chorus is something else here… Pura Vida it’s so much hotter here than in San Jose… 30-35c compared to 22-27c in San Jose… Plus humida here makes it feel like 38-42c phew… love the air con

Didn’t know beforehand but we’ve got a solar eclipse here on Saturday and it’s going to last for 3 hours… will be amazing… plus the wildlife will probably go crazy…

A truly miserable day here today with constant steady rain. It was forecast and is supposed to clear away tomorrow just for a day, but I have spent all but half-an-hour indoors which doesn't suit me one jot! 

[tricol]

Autumn is here. A very dull, very wet day here. Just steady moderate rainfall. Hoping it stops for the dog walk later.

[Scuba steve]

Seems we are here in the colder airflow a much different feeling to the day

[severe snowstorm]

A fairly miserable day today, moderate to heavy rain for much of the day. It has eased a bit now and can definitely feel the colder air making inroads. Temperature currently 10.7C.

It will certainly be much more comfortable for my run compared to the warmer weather of the past few days.

Have a great time pal

Cumbria the place to be in the region today it seems. A dry day, cooler airstream. Some brightness, and a lovely sky this evening.

A chilly night expected. 

We may also escape with a dry Friday.. not sure where the rain will position itself.

Just made a Caribbean/Sri Lankan style coconut pork curry for my family here… brought a chilli sauce with us we bought in New Orleans in March this year… my brother loves chilli and the hottest food… that was one hell of a builder… only used equivalent of 5 drops  

you need to sign a waiver in the USA to taste & buy it

plus my brother dogs have survived another year without licking a poison dart frog Brian & Karen God Karen’s a maniac
