Few spots in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors currently at 5c at 21.30pm, so a chance of a ground frost in places. Depends on cloud cover as the night progresses.
Plenty of cloud cover over the last 36 hours resulting in not much daily temperature change. Yesterdays max/min was 15/13c, and so far today 13/12c, not much change over the coming days apart from Friday morning where I could see the coldest temp of the Autumn so far. Speaking of which a possibility for northern/western areas to see some ground frosts early next week as high pressure briefly topples over us.
A few unofficial weather stations in the North York Moors were at 3/4c this morning. Not sure about the coldest official station, Shaps temperature for some reason rose as the night went on, the coldest I can find is Topcliffe at 5.4c.
Yes similar here with 16.3c, 2.8c above 1981-2010 mean. A steady drop likely now untill the end of the month, guessing the month may end 1-1.5c above average.
Even though Alston is 400m asl, it is actually in a valley, surrounded by hills somewhat 100-200m higher than the village, so therefore I would imagine it is a very good frost hollow even at that altitude.
Usually October here for ground frost, often end of September in nearby frost hollows if conditions are right! Air frosts have occurred in October here but more likely in November.
After a bright morning, it was raining persistently by midday. Warmest uppers must be coming over now as its still raining but were experiencing the warmest temps of the day at 15.7c.
Same here Crewe, we had one storm near York in early April that I chased but nothing since. Even with a few plumes we never even got close to a storm. At least I've saved some petrol money and can spend it on snow chasing instead this coming winter.
Temps really plummeting under any clear/calm nights at the moment, last couple of mornings we've fallen to 8.9c and a few known frost hollows have seen 6/7c. May see single figures again this evening.
