Sun, what sun!
Tomasz Schafernaker on country file said today would be the best day of the
week with most places in in England and Wales having a fine day with unbroken sunshine, we didn't even get 0.1 hours!! Think he was too excited about later this week:) Overcast cool and damp here all day, temp around 5c. Still I'm sure we will end up with endless hours of sunshine once the cold stuff kicks in:) Graham (Weston Coyney) |

Did my local forecast after watching that and told everyone it was going to be a sunny day after early morning rain cleared based on that forecast. It was almost zero sun here as well but the temp was 2C higher than forecast. Doesn't bode well for forecasting the tricky stuff to come! Dave |

Felt warm, but it was only 5.5C.

We had some sunshine - between the showers.

Graham, I'm sure you'll be happy for me and it will cheer you to know that we had 4.2 hours of the lovely, bright warm stuff today and with a temperature of 9.6C this afternoon it felt, dare I say it, spring-like! Now over 90 hours of sunshine this month - should make another 100+ month as was November and December.

Norman, we're in yellow and you're not, though I would anticipate the opposite in reality.
We don't get much snow this side from a Westerly direction, but I guess subtle wind changes can impact on you, as per the previous weekend. DM. Langtoft. ER of Y. |

Goodness knows why the Peak District is not in the warning area. It will be :-) Will -- http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) --------------------------------------------- |

What is critical here is whether or not the gradient wind direction has anything north of due west in it. In this case the prediction is that it will be at least WNW, if not NW. I feel sure, therefore that if there is significant snowfall it will come further south than the warning area indicates. Again we currently have the conflicting situation where we are outside of the warning area yet the current Peak District forecast for Thursday states: "A very wintry day, even at low levels. A strong and bitterly cold wind will bring frequent and at times heavy snow showers with significant accumulations likely. The showers may well begin to ease off late in the day as the strong winds turn northerly and abate a little. Freezing level around 200m." If we get the snow the forecast is right and the warning is wrong. If we don't get the snow the warning is right and the forecast is wrong. Not easy for the average punter to make an informed decision. My bet is that the forecast will be right, because of the predicted wind direction, and that the southern limit of the warning area will prove to be too far north. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. http://peakdistrictweather.org |
