Well, the overall picture hides the fact that the first week of the month had a mean temperature of 7.3C, whilst the final week of the month had a mean temperature of -2.4C. Quite some contrast. Unsurprisingly, the mean temp ended up way below average.

The raw statistics are:-

Average daily maximum; 6.2C

Highest daily maximum; 14.4C (4th)

Lowest daily maximum; -0.9C (27th)

Average daily minimum; 0.2C

Highest daily minimum; 8.9C (4th)

Lowest daily minimum; -8.1C (27th)

Mean monthly temperature 3.2C (12 year mean 5.7C)

Number of air frosts; fourteen

Number of ground frosts; twenty-two

Total rainfall; 106.2mm (up to first snowfall)

No of wet days; twenty-five

Wettest day; 24.4mm (2nd)

My statistics for central Reading in November 2010:

Average maximum: 8.2

Average minimum: 4.6

Average for month: 6.4

Highest maximum: 18.2 (November 4)

Lowest maximum: 0.4 (28)

Highest minimum: 15.0 (4)

Lowest minimum: -4.5 (28)

Rainfall: no data available for this site; Reading University shows around 50mm for the month, which is slightly below normal. There were several wet days in the first half of the month, but the second half was very dry.

Overall a cold month (mean temperatures in my garden seem to be around CET + 0.5-1.0, so we would expect an average of 7.4-7.9 here in November), but that wasn't the entire story, of course. The first week was very mild, with maxima and minima for the 4th the highest since 2005. Alternating cold and mild spells up to the 18th, with some wet days but rainfall declining. From the 18th onwards it was cold and very dry, with an exceptional cold spell from the 25th onwards. Brief flurries of falling snow were observed on 3 days during this spell, but none settled on the ground.

New Durham Statistics (83m ASL) {not my station}:

Average High: 7.2C

Average Low: 1.8C

-1.8C and -1.3C respectively against the Durham average, which is infact cooler than New Durham, so the average could be 7C, 1.5C (which is infact the December Average!).

Very cold month then...

Month synopsis:

Certainly a very interesting month, some very mild temps in the first week (for Buxton in November), but also extremely wet in the first half with three days having over an inch of rain each. Most notable was the incredible cold and snow in the final week, some record breaking low temperatures, and over half a foot of snow accumulated by the end of the final day.

-9.4°C on 28th is a record low temperature for the date.

The mean temperature contrast between the 1st week (8.1°C) and last week (-2.5°C) is quite astonishing for the maritime climate.

I haven't had opportunity to compare this November to previous years, but the staggering statistic is that I recorded

the highest maximum and highest minimum for any November (since starting in 2003) in the first week and then, in the

last week, I recorded the lowest minimum and lowest maximum for November (since starting in 2003) !

Highest maximum = 16.8c (4 Nov)

Highest minimum = 13.9c (5 Nov)

Lowest maximum = -1.4c (28 Nov)

Lowest minimum = -5.2c (29 Nov)

Stats for Warminster, Wiltshire

Average max = 7.65c

Average min = 3.49c

Mean = 5.57c

Dry days = 10

Precipitation days = 20 (of which wintry = 5)

Rainfall = 97mm (of which 62mm came between 8-13 Nov)

A summary of Cantley November weather

November Summary

What a month, 2 very long term records broken and another one is the 3rd in the record list.

The most snow since records started in 1943 in this area (they are the earliest I know of)

17 cm falling between 1730 and 2400 on 30 November. That after 4 days of snow falling and lying before then.

The lowest minimum temperature in November on 28 November=-8.4C

The 3rd highest maximum temperature on 4 November with 18.1C

The mean temperature for the first 5 days was 12.4C. It then fell each 5 days until by the 20th it was 7.6C.

There then followed an almost unique wintry spell from 24 November with the last 7 days showing a mean of 0.3C.It still continues as I type this 3 December. In mid winter that would be deserving comment, this time of the year is almost unheard of in this area.

General statistics, figures in brackets are the long term 50+ years for this area

Mean temp=5.7C(6.5C)

Avge Max=8.2C(9.3C)

Avge Min=3.2C(3.8C)

9(6) days with air frost, 13(11) with ground frost, 5(5) days with snow falling and snow lying(0), max depth at 09Z=5cm but at 2359 on 30th=18cm.

Rainfall below average with 24.8mm, max in 1 day=9.2mm on 8th

Highest daytime temperature =18.1C on 4th with the coldest day being -0.6C on 28th.

Coldest night=-8.4C on 28th with the warmest night being 10.8C on the 5th.

Highest Max 15.5C (4th)

Lowest Max -0.1C (27th)

Highest Min 10.2C (5th)

Precipitation 114mm (173%)

Wettest: 10mm (23rd)

Days of snow lying: 6

Largest snow depth: 17cm (28th)

Days of thunder: 3

Days with hail (>5mm): 1

Days with small hail (<5mm): 3

The month began with a very mild spell of weather, then from the 6th to 22nd temperatures were mostly near or slightly below average. Thunder occurred shortly after midnight overnight 8th/9th from showers to the north of a deep low that triggered a lot of concerns over possible gales and flooding. There was then a notable gale on the 11th that caught some of us out, followed by a bright spell with temperatures near-average by day and frosts by night, and then a cloudy easterly spell to the 22nd.

Northerly winds came in on the 23rd, ushering in an astounding 10 consecutive days of sunshine and wintry showers. Showers started to turn to sleet and snow overnight 23rd/24th, and started accumulating late on the 24th. On the 25th, despite winds temporarily picking up off the North Sea, showers stayed as snow and there was only a slight thaw in between the showers, followed by more significant accumulations on the 26th. The 27th & 28th were remarkably cold with sunshine and snow showers and some longer outbreaks of snow.

The 28th saw winds pick up off the North Sea during the afternoon, giving thundery wintry showers (again the warming effects of the sea at the coast generally failed to turn showers back to sleet and rain), thundersnow occurred at 11:20pm on the 28th and there was a more significant thunderstorm, accompanied by snow and large hail, between 6 and 7am on the 29th. Late on the 29th and early on the 30th, thaws during clear intervals, due to the warming effects of the sea at the coast, were enough to more than offset accumulations during showers, but this situation reversed late on the 30th as colder upper air engulfed the region. By midnight showers were sending the temperature below freezing- an unusual occurrence this close to the Tyne and Wear coast in an easterly even in mid to late winter.

The lowest maximum and minimum were both the lowest in November since 1993, the number of days with snow lying was the highest since 1993, and the number of days with sleet/snow falling and with thunder both set new November site records (3 days with thunder is rare in a summer month in Tyne and Wear, let alone in November). It was also the coldest November since 1993 although November 1996 was almost as cold.

The coldest November since 1998 and the best for snow falling and lying in my 28 years of records. The month could be split into three parts: A very mild first week, an exceptionally cold last week and a close to average middle. Despite rainfall being close to average, precipitation fell on all but two days.

The first week was generally dull and cloudy but exceptionally mild. The temperature on the 4th of 17.3C was the second highest in 28 years, beaten only by 2005. Minima were all above 9C in the first five days aswell, with the mean from 1st - 5th being 12.2C. It then turned cooler and unsettled in the second week. The 11th and 12th saw strong gales before things calmed down with some sunshine. This was shortlived however as winds turned to the east, heralding almost a week of overcast, dull and drizzly weather with little change in temperature from day to night.

The 23rd then saw the beginning of the most severe spell of November wintry weather for many years. During the first three days a showery northerly flow brought a light covering of 2cm of snow and light air frosts. It turned fiercely cold on the night of the 27th, with a min temp of -6.8C the following morning - the lowest for 25 years. That day then brought heavy snow, eventually reaching 14cm deep before the end of the month. The 28th, 29th and 30th also saw thundersnow, a phenomenon never observed at this location before now. Snow lay on the ground from the 25th - 30th, the longest period of consecutive days in November Ive ever recorded. There were also 7 days with sleet or snow falling, again a record at this site.

Overall, a cold month but with an exceptional cold spell and notable mild start.
