TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

[Stanley]

Yesterday afternoon stayed gloomy but around teatime the temperature started to rise. At 20:00 it was a lot warmer and first thing this morning it was even warmer, a light breeze, overcast and wet after recent rain. The glass has fallen like a stone to below 995mb and is still falling. The forecast is for a spell of rain any time now, a cloudy morning and more rain from midday onwards. The constant SW wind is brisk gusting to over 45mph giving a high of 13C and a low of 6C with a wind chill of up to -4C. The outlook is for slightly cooler weather but still in high single figures. It seems the weather gods are giving us some respite from winter.

Yesterday eventually became dry and at 20:00 it was calm, mild, dry and overcast. It' was the same this morning first thing and I have just looked out and there is no change. The glass is up slightly from yesterday's low of 992mb and is steady on 995mb. The forecast is for a clear sunny day clouding in this evening. The constant SW wind is moderate gusting to 30mph and giving a high of 7C a low of 4C tonight and a wind chill of as much as -5C at times so wrap up warm even though it's sunny. The outlook is for similar weather but perhaps rain later in the week.

I've been for a walk into Town Square and a ten minute sit on traffic duty. I was right this morning when I reported a strong wind chill, it may be 8C in the sun but we have a -4C wind chill and it's bitter! Still, I am glad I have had a walk.....

[Stanley]

Yesterday afternoon ended dry but cold with that brisk wind. At 20;00 the wind was dropping and we had an overcast sky. First thing this morning stars were visible but there were signs of a recent shower. Since then it has started raining again. The glass is up a bit on just over 997mb and steady. The forecast is for the rain to cease by 07:00 and for the rest of the day to be dry, bright overcast with sunny intervals. The constant SW wind will be brisk gusting to 35 mph just like yesterday. The high will be 7C and the low tonight 4C with as much as a -5C wind chill especially early this morning. The outlook is for similar weather with heavy rain Friday and Saturday so you can forget about a white Xmas in these parts!

Winter quarter starts today it's the solstice of course.

The wind chill yesterday was bitter and spoilt the effect of the dry bright weather. At 20:00 it was breezy and cold under an almost clear sky. Same this morning, a few stars visible but I suspect it's actually mainly overcast. the glass is down slightly on 997mb. The forecast is for light rain later this morning clearing to overcast this afternoon. The SW wind becomes light giving a high of 6C and a low of 3C tonight. The wind chill is -4C this morning but will ease this afternoon. We still need to wrap up warm! The outlook is for heavy rain tomorrow, broken cloud sunny intervals and showers on Xmas Day and then coming in colder as we head towards the New Year.

[Stanley]

I've had me walk and (to my surprise) a twenty minute sit in comfort supervising traffic. It was quite pleasant actually because I was out of the wind. The only down side is that it starting raining lightly so I came home where they put ugly folk.

[Stanley]

Yesterday we had occasional light rain in the afternoon and at 20:00 it was calm, dry and overcast. Same this morning. The glass is up slightly on 1000mb and rising. The forecast is for heavy rain starting around 11:00 and lasting until early on Saturday morning. The East wind is constant and moderate giving us a high of 5C, a low of 4C and a chill of -4C. Things could be worse! At least I have a dry weekly shop this morning. The outlook is for two days of dry overcast weather and then perhaps some cold rain to refresh us after Xmas.

[Stanley]

Yesterday we had a wet afternoon and at 20:00 we had a light breeze and rain. The glass is down slightly on 999mb but rising.

This is our Christmas Weather.
Pity those who have chosen to cook roast dinners.

Bit of a heatwave, but relief is in sight.

[Stanley]

Margaret was cooking up a storm this morning.....

I declined the opportunity to go for a walk. I did the washing instead and donned a clean shirt for Xmas Day! Standards are being maintained!

We have lovely bright sunshine, with only a light breeze.
