North West Regional Discussion Feb 2021 onwards

Another drab day. Low cloud and drizzle. Outlook very typical for the time of year. One renowned for being unsettled and Atlantic driven. Annoyed yet again we have a ridge on Friday but pushed aside for the weekend!

All one asks is for weather that is 'usable'; so outdoor activities are possible. Had to wait until late afternoon/early evening to go out on the bike......

You share the same month as my brother in law who will be 50 on the 9th, my auntie (cant remember her age) on 12th, my mother in law on the 13th will be 77 and my dad who will also be 77 on 17th Nov.

Ah so cute… we had a couple in garden a few years back but haven’t seen them recently… love them for eating the slugs and bugs

Well, wet wet wet. The reservoirs will be liking this. I noted Bottom's reservoir between Hadfield and Tintwistle was about 12 to 15 ft down.

Radar not much use today...moisture just spawning out to the west ready to dump it's collective load over western up-slopes on a stiff ("at least it's mild" Darren Bett) south westerly airstream.

Wet, very wet this morning.  Grey but no rain at the moment.  It's muggy isn't it?  This SWesterly is very mild, 17°C according to a local weather station.

[WillinGlossop]

Muggy damp 16-17c 

just been leaf blowing whilst rain has ceased… huge piles of leaves now on the compost… 

Beef chilli empanadas made for tea

I'd be more than happy for it to be 10°C and sunny instead of this.....

[damianslaw]

Worse than Sunday and Monday. Low cloud again shrouding everything. Bursts of moderate rain then lighter. Miserable! Dark and gloomy. We have enough of this weather in the depths of winter. Feels like late November with exception of temp. Mind SW ling fetch airstreams return similar temps all year round 13-20 degree highs. Hate them! 

[The Northern Ramper]

It’s been pretty grim this week and there looks to be more dire weather to come this morning. Tomorrow is looking like a breath of fresh air.

[Dan B]

12ºC and grey over today... Dry though and we've had some new autumnal visitors; 3 of them feeding on the windfall apples

 

 

[HafrenLMP1]

I'll tolerate this weather now (well, we have no choice) if it means the weeks/months ahead are more seasonal. If it's merely a taster........oh dear

[dodge]

Rumble of thunder and an intense spell of heavy rain just now - only lasted 5 minutes but it could ruin a day of anyone who had to misfortune to be out in it.  More showers lining up to the west but I doubt they will be as potent as that one just gone.

[Day 10]

Just back from getting a PCR test, felt dreadful past few days, slept all afternoon yesterday, horrible dry cough. I'm double jabbed it better not be THAT VIRUS AGAIN!

On the weather note, lashing down.

[damianslaw]

A much fresher day. Current temp 11 degrees. Rather cloudy. Might scrape a ground frost around dawn if skies clear for long enough.

Hope its negative. Unfortunately, the vaccine is not a barrier to contracting the virus and the various strains. My wife works in community and her colleagues are currently off with it.  For some, they've  had Covid for the second time and they've been either double or triple jabbed and had the flu vaccine too. Some have required hospital assistance.

Nice cell you were under.

This supercell on the radar here gave a likely Tornado around Widnes at lunchtime. Lots of footage of destruction on social media!
