Winter 2023/24 Chat and Discussion
Summer of 95 replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Although the second half has certainly had a lot of rubbish we seemed to have relatively escaped this month compared to further south, where it does look to have been horribly dull. At least this December has produced lying snow (2022 didn't) and it is already 10 hours sunnier than the disgusting December 2021. So not the worst December ever by any means. Having said that, aside from the hot week in early September and the colder spell in late Nov and early Dec, it does seem to have been largely dominated by cloud, rain and wind since the end of June. Unless it is remarkably sunny the next 4 days we will have had 4 out of the last 6 months both wetter and cloudier than average, and none both drier and sunnier (August just made it as drier and November as sunnier). That's what I think is getting so many people down to be honest. -
Favourite christmas weather memories 24-31 Dec

2006, that was foggy and frosty. So was the run up to Christmas 1994 (it suddenly turned milder late on the 24th) -
Winter 2023/24 Chat and Discussion
Summer of 95 replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
13 Celsius in April: "Where is the first 20C of the year" and "If we can't get that why not a late cold snap" (April 2023 I said these to you a lot, you were pretty much an entire month of 13 Celsius) 13 Celsius in October "Is it too late for one last 20C" and "What happened to the October frosts I remember when I was young" and "If it has to be 13 Celsius can it at least be dry" Conclusion: 13 Celsius and cloud and rain thinks it is winter because it rhymes with "white" -
Hottest Heatwave of All Time Championship
Summer of 95 replied to CryoraptorA303's topic in Historic Weather
Wow, did July 2019 just get a station entry from Shropshire? I think it's the first one, in that case it's definitely nowhere near as dislikeable as August 2003 (a near-complete fail round here). August 2020 is the other one I'm rooting to go out, I felt it was far too SE-focused in terms of heat, though it made up for it in these parts with thunderstorms. June-July 2018 would be stuffed without Wales! Although that was a very good summer here, much better than 2003, it rarely seemed to get extremely hot, it was more sustained warmth. July 1989 must be to this competition what Italy was to the last two World Cups, the incredible non-qualifier. -
Hottest Heatwave of All Time Championship
Summer of 95 replied to CryoraptorA303's topic in Historic Weather
Just asking on behalf my team June 1995, how come it lost on the "consecutive days above 30C" when it had 5 on the trot compared to 3 for August 1911? Two separate bunches of 3 isn't 6 consecutive days.... -

Am I allowed to enter the last week of June 1995? And put July 2016 in as well -

2008 in a lot of places as well (April and October).... Yet both 2008 and 2016 were completely devoid of lying snow here! -
Hottest Heatwave of All Time Championship

Have they put the SE England/"Midlands"/"East Anglia" tripoint actually at Heathrow???? So it counts for 3 regions.... Can't decide if Skipton is NW or NE England, so let's just stick it in the Midlands as well I'll have to say July 2022 based on that map (Coningsby is definitely in the E and NE region on there) -

Can you link to a map clarifying what "Met office regions" means for this please? -
Winter 2023/24 Chat and Discussion
Summer of 95 replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
2 days in 2017-18 and 2020-21 and 1 day in 2014-15. (Plus two near misses on 13 Jan 2017 and 14 Jan 2015) But have to go back to 2010 for more than 2cm between those dates. By contrast in the 90s and early 2000s that period often seemed to be the snowiest, 8 of the 12 winters between 1994-5 and 2005-6 had at least one day between those dates. However, I've just noticed a strange statistic about 2023: the gap between the last lying snow of one winter season (11th March) and the earliest of the next one (3 Dec) is the shortest since 1996 (13 Mar and 19 Nov). Sometimes of course it can stretch to well over a year when we get snowless winters. -
Next drier than average month

Surprised Feb 2023 isn't a top-10 dry month -
First Ground and Air Frost Watch - Season 2023-24
Summer of 95 replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I thought around the end of April how here since November it had been so similar to 2005-06; big December freezing cold spell with sod all snow and then a very boring January that at least produced one dusting in much less favourable conditions, a snorefest of a February and winter turned up in the first half of March... then April was a load of 11C rubbish... All set for a great July... Hope winter 2009-10 stays away similarly -
First Ground and Air Frost Watch - Season 2023-24
Summer of 95 replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
First one this morning, 25th Nov is very late for this area (second latest in last 30 years, after 1st Dec in 2009). Sort of symmetrical with the late first 20C in spring I suppose. Really noticeable how October air frosts have become much rarer since the late 90s, it was unusual to get an October without one before then. -
Absolutely off the scale wet round here. 170.6 mm of rain for Shawbury in October 2023 according to the Metoffice figures just released. That makes it: By far the wettest October recorded there since the record began in 1946 (previously 121mm in 1954, followed by 116.6mm in 2019) The wettest month of any name since September 1976 (174.7mm) The third wettest month since the record began there (also just behind May 1969 with 172.7mm) The wettest month between 1976 and last month was June 2007 with 146.4mm, so way ahead of that as well Also gives 2023 the biggest difference between the driest and wettest months in a year; 4.2mm in February for a difference of 166.4, beating the 164mm difference in 1976 and being the first time a year has had a month below 10mm and above 150mm. Following a wet but not exceptional 74.6mm in September; November needs 82.2mm to make 2023 the wettest autumn recorded (currently 327.4mm in 2000) and 114.6mm for the wettest 2 consecutive months (285.2mm, June-July 2007). 158mm for the wettest 3 months (May-July 2007, 403.2mm) is surely out of reach, though anything over 100 might give Oct-Dec a chance. An exceptional month by any standards.

Sunrise and sunset times in Hajnówka, Poland TIME-OK.COM Sunrise and sunset times in Hajnówka, Poland today and tomorrow. Day length, twilight and solar noon for every day of the 2023 year. Even worse for early sunsets is eastern Poland, that place is exactly the same latitude as here and gets an earliest sunset of 3.10pm, and nearly 3 months of sunsets before 4pm (starting tomorrow!). It'll have more days with snow on the ground in winter, but November there (before it arrives) must be really grim.
