Met Office responds as 'mini tornado' sees residents woken by 'wild weather' in North East - Chronicle Live

Scared residents took to social media after waking to rain, hail and high winds at around 3am on Friday

So maybe it was a mini tornado then. To be fair it was wild out there the rain was pounding down.

Was wild here about 3am. Wind screeching over the house and torrential rain. I swear I heard thunder somewhere but could have been half asleep.  

 

Think it was associated with the squall line.  

[Storm Isha, Amber ⚠️]

Things starting to pick up across South Tyneside now after a lull.  Constant gusts although nothing too serious just yet....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

I might have spoken too soon.  Becoming very lively out there now!

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Had a few gusts earlier but now it's nothing more than a windy night. 

 

Not sure if it'll reach any noticeable wind speed on south tyneside. I love a decent wind storm as well. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Just popped to my mams at Whitburn and some canny strong gusts coming through now.   

Worst of the winds not expected for a few hours in these parts yet.  

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Very light dusting here overnight but that's it.  Blooming freezing out there though!

Would you count the Lake District as far north? If so, that's where my friends staying at the moment and has sent me these. 

No the lakes are north west but great pics!

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

I can confirm light rain here in south tyneside. 

 

I see the next potential chase is on, this time for the beast which is far more exciting in my opinion than a northerly. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Moderate snow in Ashington at work.  Nice little surprise but if I'm honest is this what we're scraping around for

Currently showing a batch moving more to the South of our region. There is a more solid looking clump to the West over S Scotland headed our way, but slowly. Could be here, if at all, by about 4 or 5 ish?

 

If we're lucky mate

Was on the beach in Seaburn with the dogs this morning and I thought it was pretty mild (compared to yesterday).  It was actually colder here last night at 7pm than it was this morning.  

 

Not expecting anything here plus I'm working in Ashington today so doesn't look hopeful if you take the radar at face value. Maybe tonight though. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Snow here in south tyneside too. I'm sort of hopeful the northerly might deliver lol

[Model Output Discussion - Colder but how cold and for how long?]

I don't know what the issue is.  People declaring mild by the weekend. It's been forecast for days now plus the Meto allude to it. Besides that, they also mention a chance of colder conditions again after.

I think people forget these are computer models and don't make the weather it will do what it does. 

But the fact is we have a week of cold weather coming up and anything can happen as per previous cold spells.

Yes, I get it, but the last cold spell in December we got the cold in and the boom charts but no snow. Looking at charts like this just frustrate me. Populated areas of England and wales need a miracle to get snow these days !I want snow , not high heating bills Dagnamit lol 

No offence but there are more populated places up north.  Scotland and northern England are populated just for reference. 

Howay Tim you've been here years.  Look at 2010 the depth of cold spun off many different features.  Not saying this will be 2010 but the 850s forecast are bound to throw up some disturbances in the flow.  

 

At the end of the day the weather will do what the weather will do.  But we'd have sold our Nannas for charts like this in recent years.

Can't see how any of those showers will make it to land from the North Sea considering XC weather has the wind coming from the opposite direction. 

 

Forecast says North easterly airflow so God knows what's happened tonight.

It is just so still though isn't it, hence the freezing fog, they are very slow moving, edging in to the coast but losing momentum.

I hope they get a move on soon though it's like pulling teeth

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Those showers don't seem to be moving much at all it's weird.

The pooch is enjoying the snow today  

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

The allotments at the back of me looking like Narnia this morning too. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Easily 4 to 5cm in places here this morning.  What a surprise.  

 

Showing moderately again now.  

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Got a good few cm when opened the blinds I'm buzzing! 

 

Happy first of December everyone!
