Surprised how roaky it was overnight - came in about 5pm with drizzle and hill fog then most of the night was  complete fogfest right down in the dale.
Wind has dropped right out and it soon broke up and cleared this morning.

Bit off topic but did this video last Monday at Whitby when it was trying to come in again - you can see low cloud characteristically brushing the top of the Abbey ruin - and a few snippets of quite rough sea.
A lot of these rides do a circuit right round the NE area and were at the hoppings.
They'll be at Stokesley early September and Yarm a couple of week slater.

Rain forecast for today seems to have disappeared, and not much to show for an ex-tropical storm next week at the moment.
It is still unusually dry deeper down. 16mm so far this month. September average is 62mm here.

I'm surprised they still seem undecided, I don't think we'll get much rain from that but could easily be an inch later today and overnight.

Tipping it down all over the region yet in Darlo it's very light

[Boro Snow]

[doctor32]

Real chill in the air today.

might have the first widespread frost of the season coming up this week? won't last long once the sun rises.

[Summer Sun]

Very autumnal feeling this morning should be pleasant enough by late morning/early afternoon once the sun has got to work

[Boro Snow]

Yep feeling very fresh after a low of 2.2c overnight 

[Summer Sun]

Another chilly feeling day in the shade not too bad in the sunshine

Looking like tomorrow and Thursday will be a bit milder as winds come in from the Atlantic the downside to that is cloud will increase especially so tomorrow with the chance of some drizzle or light rain now and then

Brighter again by Friday but chiller again as we drag the air down from the north

[Boro Snow]

Currently 3.9c outside it does feel colder than that, come on guys let's get this thread back to life, #winteriscoming

[Boro Snow]

Lovely school run 2c mist and frost patches leaves falling from the trees, Perfect Autumn morning
