  1. It could be one of those technical white Christmases when a few sleety flakes fall shortly before midnight
  2. Our power went off about then but was back by 6am. At the time there was such a din from hail and wind banging I didn't hear thunder but could easily have been some. The severe gustiness of the wind from unusual direction must have done a lot of damage to trees and buildings
  3. With that wind the showers are going to rattle through like crazy it probably won't amount to much. Really extreme windchill out over the moors with gusts over 50mph and only a couple of degrees above freezing Saturday
  4. 5th April 2012 near Ralphs Cross February 2005 at Lion Inn
  5. Cold winters have a knack of coming in pairs, because conditions that facilitate them run over 18 months or more. Warm and dry (or wet) summers have this tendency too
  6. If it can vibrate and oscillate in wind it could trip, you can often get a trip from dewy condensation which might only go through later in the day. This is one of the drawbacks of an all in one set up where you want it high enough for wind but ideally rain would be recorded near ground level and temperature at abut 1.5m. There are always compromises in real world
  7. There's quite a push to demand a referendum on the whole legitimacy of our supposed commitment to net zero by a set date, if it succeeds I know what the result will be because it has simply been railroaded through with almost no debate or consideration of the consequences - which will be quite simply devastating for this country. The costs are simply not affordable, many of the required changes involve technology (e.g. Hydrogen) which isn't anywhere near ready to implement yet - and above all after spending countless trillions - surprise surprise the weather won't be changed to whatever they imagine it ought to be. Not least because major emitters will emit more CO2 attempting to supply the world with products we will also have to import having shut ourselves down
  8. Coral islands are a dynamic living system which can easily keep up with slow sea level rise. Unless you build on them and disrupt sediment flows and build up. The Maldives have always been vulnerable to major storms sweeping over large areas it's like building new houses on a flood plain then wondering why they flood a couple of times per decade.
  9. An odd feature often noticed here is temperature hovering just above freezing all night but dropping below just as sun rises for an hour or so. It's probably similar to how wind often falls lighter at sunset, since getting a weather station it is striking how during potential ground/air frost nights a little breeze will keep springing up periodically just enough to mix things up and lift temperature a degree or two. Though to be honest I suspect something else is involved like first rays of sun somehow increasing the ability of heat to radiate away through upper layers.
  10. Ground frost here at +1.1C, it is bouncing up and down a bit as every now and then some wind picks up. It will reach a minimum before midnight most likely.
  11. Down to 5.3C here already this evening but it's supposed to turn cloudy after midnight.
  12. Horse chestnuts had a terrible time here all the flowers were frosted to brown pulp but some did attempt a kind of half hearted second crop which hasn't produced any conkers I'm aware of. Northern England is on the northern edge of their range they aren't native and are thought to have been introduced no earlier than 1500 probably from Turkey
  13. It was a mainly mild (but not frost free) and almost snowless winter even here until around that colder spell late March, there must have been a quite potent northerly. At school we had a favourite NZ supply teacher who was from North island so had never seen proper snow she literally squealed with delight looking from our upstairs classroom window as a subzero swirling full on white out developed one afternoon probably at start of April.
  14. When it was driving in off the sea yesterday it was just the set up to give us problems here on the north side of the moors but luckily it shifted off to the east reasonably quickly with final total about 25mm over the whole 24 hours since it started.
