Frost Watch / November 6 And 7

[gottolovethisweather]

That's what I've just said. This month could of one of the most frostless November's on record.

Interestingly, Autumn 2009 for me, lacked a single Air Frost. December 1st (start of meteorological winter), bringing about the first one at -1.4c at Newbury, Berkshire. I'm situated in a right ole frost hollow myself which makes it even more remarkable. Also, for those upset by the lack of forecast cold, look how that winter (09/10) turned out.

Cheers

Had frost here last night..

Local WX says.. 1.8 °C last night.. But still.. Frosty car windows..

[Isolated Frost]

Yes tony- what happens now has little relevance to December 6th. 6.3c and falling rapidly- as it does just before sunset.

[sundog]

Had sharp frost this morning with an overnight low of 2.0c, my first proper frost of the Autumn. Todays max 8.6c and hardly a cloud in the sky.

Current temp 7.3c

I didnt get an air frost during Autumn 2009 either,i did not get one till around mid December that yr when the cold spell started to kick in. My first Air frost last year was Oct 25th.

[itsnowjoke]

starting to slightly cloud over a little now.

temp 8c ( feels colder)

dewpoint 7c. could be a chance of fog tonight so i have read somewhere.

[Isolated Frost]

5.6c and plummeting. Should be a chilling sunset. Now THIS is a real November, zonality and dreaming of the odd hp ridge delivering a frosty night haha!

Scratch that- false info. No zonality, just moist southerlies. Even worse!

[Liam J]

Dropping away now, 6.5c a drop of nearly 3 degrees in the last hour.

Down down down lower as she goes. Certianly what happens now can be seen as irrelevant but what is relevant is how quickly things can change. The rapid monthly differences (eg Dec 10/Jan 11) are an area of interest for me and it would not surprise me, if we were to see an abrupt change, when it's least expected.

Here's a link to the recent Autumn of 2009. http://www.metoffice...009/autumn.html Note: the last sentence on the 2nd paragraph illustrates the Air Frost situation well back then. This being not unlike, where we are now, so why expect anything different this time around? Late November 2010 of course, was a different league but even that began with a mild start for many.

Just shows how different each location is. Unfortunately for me, being a coldie, this Autumn is showing a pattern which bears similarities to the subsequent winters from 1990 through 2000 decades, excepting the last 3 or 4. All it needs is the dreaded Bartlett HP to come to fruition and then..... damn, what have I said. :smiliz65:

Kind Regards

3.9c here hopefully my second below freezing night this season

[Snowstorm1]

5.9c here

[Isolated Frost]

Hi michael mate- that's quite high isn't it? 3.6c here. Do you have some cloud?

[Lancashire Lass]

Currently 5.5c and dropping at a rate of -3.3c an hour. Beautiful clear skies and lovely and crisp out there. Definitely going to be a cold night here, should get down to about -2c easily.

[Isolated Frost]

-2c sounds quite optimistic LL, but you never know.

Cooling slowly but still cooling nonetheless here about a mile from the river wear; 3.2c.

[reef]

Not a chance of a frost here. Its still 8.7C and this morning's min was 6.2C.

If anything, temperatures will rise as the north-easterly kicks in.

[mikeocarroll]

1.1c here currently, max was 10.8c earlier. It's 3-4c colder than it was at this time yesterday eve, so if the skies stay clear then I'm expecting a low of approx

-5.0c around dawn.

Anyone know if there's any cloud expected? Met/beeb seems to have some reaching here around dawn, so may get here in time to stop proper cold minima.

Thinking my estimate of -3c could be conservative, 3c currently, -4c must be within reach.
