The first two weeks of November 2024 were marked by a large stationary anticyclone, giving “anticyclonic gloom”, with many areas particularly in the south being very dull, although dry (only 6% of the expected rainfall had fallen by the 16th). There was a notable northerly outbreak in the third week bringing snow to some areas and some sharp frost. The …
November 2023 overall saw about average temperatures. The first two weeks were mild and unsettled. It then became rather more settled; it was still mild in the south, but the final ten days were much colder as winds turned to the north, introducing Arctic air. The start of the month continued October’s wet and windy theme with Storm Ciaran bringing …
The Weather at Gilesgate, Durham November 2022 A very mild November at Durham, with the first half being especially so, but as usual in such a mild month it was also very wet. The peak of the month’s warmth was on 11th November, when 16.5 degC was reached. The night of 11th November was the warmest November night on record …
November 2021. A very mild first three weeks, often settled and fine, but with a colder final week. The highest temperature of the month was 17.6 ºC at Nantwich (Cheshire) on the 9th; with the Foehn effect it reached 16.3 ºC at Dyce (Aberdeenshire) on the 18th. The lowest temperature of the month was -8.7 ºC at Shap (Cumbria) on …
Forgive me for saying it, but I found the weather of November 2020 quite boring in Durham. There were no real extremes of temperature, no extremely wet days and even the normally strong and boisterous autumn winds had little to say for themselves in November 2020. The month began with low pressure in charge, dropping 10.1mm of rain in the …
Cold, Wet and Cheerless Once again I have poor weather to report for this month in Durham. There were particularly high rainfall totals again and an incredible dullness that depressed the soul. I know that November is sometimes a cheerless month, but this one has been really rubbish. The weather has also been cold, with depressed maxima by day, although …
Here’s a graphic released by the Met Office, attempting to illustrate the wet weather we’ve had in the first half of November 2019. Now, the first half of November has been pretty wet. In fact 85mm of rain has fallen on Gilesgate since the start of November, continuing the soggy 6 months we’ve had. I looked at the map and …
As is usual at this time of year, there is much speculation about the winter to come. After the brief episode of snow at the end of October 2018, the usual suspects were predicting a snowy November. As is nearly always the case, the snowy November didn’t happen. Temperatures were mild in the first half of the month, and stayed …
Today was the first really seasonal day of the autumn. The wind was a cold north easter, with frequent blustery showers blowing in from the North Sea. Temperatures struggled to get to 7 degrees C on Tuesday 20th, then on Wed 21st we also had frequent hail showers. Precipitation totals were expected to reach nearly 25mm (1”) over the two …
This was a very wet day, but most of the rainfall fell after 8pm on 22nd. We were travelling back home from Ferryhill and had to pull the car over in Tudhoe as we couldn’t make out where the road was! There were also some crazy drivers on the road that night, one white van in particular. Rainfall became absolutely …
Not exactly weather related, but some nice pictures from the Durham Lumiére Festival from November 2015. As it happens the weather was very good.
HD Video of giant waves on the seafront at Seaham, Co. Durham. A strong tidal surge in the North Sea resulted in higher than normal tides. A combination of strong winds, extremely low pressure and a storm surge can raise the sea level around Eastern England by up to 2 metres. This footage was filmed on 9th November 2007 by …
