I may be in with a chance of some snow on Thursday looking at the many models and forecasts. All of them show snow over Derbyshire for a time on Thursday. As others have said, it's a pity it won't last though. The Peak District and places such as Buxton look in for a dumping. Forecast for Belper. Will probably show rain in a few hours though.

Please can we keep the posts respectable to one another. Personal remarks and attacks are not acceptable on this forum. This is a weather forum, we're all here for our interest in weather. This is not the local pub on a Saturday night.

A tree blowing through someone's window at night is much less likely than being hit by debris whilst walking outside or driving to work. So the risk of impacts is higher in the day when more people are out and about than at night when most are inside their houses. However, there is still a risk of impacts, hence the widespread wind warnings across the UK.

A rough night ahead for many in what has been a rough season. To have 70mph wind gusts forecast for here is a rarity and for such a long period of time is even more rare. 90mph + winds are a rarity anywhere in the UK aside from on top of a mountain. Storm Pia was around 60mph I think in these parts and that felled numerous trees, knocked roof tiles off houses, including in the centre of town, and caused a lot of disruption across the county. To think this could be 10mph more! Granted there are other things to take into account, for example the ground was sodden. I read someone's post (I think on here) that pointed out that wind speed related to the likelihood of damage is logarithmic. The increase of force on a structure caused by a wind of 70mph as opposed to 60mph is greater than the increase of force caused by 60mph as opposed to 50mph and so on. I am not clever enough to work out exactly by how much but there is a calculation out there.

Storms and Convective discussion - November 2023 onwards
Supacell replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
May aswell take this opportunity to plug my YouTube channel dedicated to storm chasing. A lot of videos on here taken from my past 9 years of storm chasing. I will have been chasing for 20 years this year with my first video being taken in August 2004. A time where I had no internet on the move and relied on interference on an AM radio to detect lightning . It's strange thinking back to those days and how much harder it was to chase storms. https://youtube.com/@supacellstormchasing I'm looking forward to April onwards. Hopefully will be getting lots more footage for my channel. -

Storms and Convective discussion- October 2023
Supacell replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Locking this thread now. Please continue discussions for November convective weather in here: https://community.netweather.tv/topic/99492-storms-and-convective-discussion-november-2023/ -
Where November is not traditionally a month associated with storms for inland areas of the UK, it can still be quite thundery around the coastlines. Much like has been the case for the second half of October, the first week of November shows up risks for scattered thunderstorms around southern and western coasts particularly. Infact, there is scope for some quite severe storms in the next 48 hours courtesy of Storm Ciarán (and before). Look back on October here. Keep on posting all thunderstorm and convective related musings for the final Autumn month in here.

Been out and about checking out the flooding situation, both in the car and on foot. Apparently the river level in Derby City centre reached record high levels with 3 severe flood warnings issued. I personally have not seen the river so high in Derby, and I was there for the 2000 and 2007 floods. Belper was affected also but luckily didn't affect the town centre. Some pictures from around here The recreation ground in Belper The A6 just south of Belper The River Derwent and the village of Duffield as seen from above on a small hill The river in Derby City centre. There are about 4 or 5 steps down to the river behind the posts People watching the river in Derby I have some video to edit also.
