What's your Weather Like November 2024

Torrential rain all day yesterday and overnight, still continuing . Woken up at 7 ish by the wind howling round the house - not nice at all. Only damage so far is a row of small pots with violas blown off the outside kitchen windowsill. My fault, I'd forgotten about them.
Forecast is continuing torrential rain up to 8 pm tonight - lovely, not.

 

Yesterday's rainfall was 23mm, and the temperature rose through the day and didn't drop much overnight. It did get quite windy but it's dropped now.

Today is brighter with occasional glimmers of sunshine, and it feels distinctly mild at 10C. It's dry at the moment but there are showers/light rain in the forecast.

 

Can’t get away from it folks it’s gusty, wild and wet here in Newark. Gets dark early around 4 so must brave it and have a drive maybe over the River Trent way. It’s even stormier back in Wales lots of flooding.

 

When feeding my street cat, I saw that neighbour’s paper box and plastic bags were at the end of the road. How careless to leave them out unprotected. I quickly collected them before they cause damage. The second collection box was nowhere to see. On the way back, the wind was so strong I had difficulties to hold everything and myself straight.
We had a time window from the heavy winds at 10 and quickly went to M&S for a coffee and cake. Just arrived at home when wind speed and rain amount increased heavily. How lucky being back on time and a sunday cake in the belly
Rain will continue all day, hopefully that wind will ease out soon.

 

It is cloudy and this morning was the first time I've seen frost. It was on the roof tops, and melted off as soon as things got a bit brighter and it is now 38f 3c. The guessers say we're going to have a wet day but we'll crawl up to 44f 6c.

But I don't care what it does out there, this is my Corrie and baking morning

 

Strong winds and persistent heavy rain last night and the previous night - the sort of weather that makes too many people say 'What storm?' because they slept through it. (How? It was noisy!) The stream flowing across the surface of the field next door has stopped taking a short cut across our drive but isn't yet back underground where it belongs.

 

An unseasonal high of 19C and lots of sunshine It's breezy but even the wind is warm so ideal for pottering around in the garden

 

Got to 20c for most of the afternoon and been very windy/gustng at 60kph. Still very overcast and gusty. 19.5c.

 

That refrozen snow is just the condition that the YakTrax (other brands are available) deal with perfectly. I remember either that year or 2010 which was another snowy one, I was wearing them every time I went out. I have a long walk to work and didn't miss a day. I live on a steep hill and I went happily marching past a lady who was going down sideways clinging on to the fence. She said "I wish I had your confidence".

In all that winter, I only slipped once. And that's when I came indoors and took them off, and they left a melted puddle on the floor!

In the last 10 years or more they've been packed away in a box and I've only used them once.

 

I use a white noise machine at night, so tend to be able to sleep through most things. I started using it because my neighbour likes to put on her laundry at about 5am, and the machine goes into spin cycle and wakes me up far too early.

 

Well the wind is still battering everything but its been dry all day, and we only got 6mm of rain yesterday, so a temperature that reached 17c in the sunshine for a while has been good.

Rain is moving slowly from the west, so a stormy night I guess.

 

My plastic growhouse has taken a walk to the end of the garden

 

I think the storm is over here now and gentle rain will stop at 10pm. I have not ventured out to see the mess of leaves everywhere as it's so wet underfoot.

The temp is good at 10c and light winds.

Tomorrow and Tuesday are sunny and dry, and are reasonable days to clear up.

Despite the terrible weather we had parakeets again on the feeder and green woodpeckers on the lawn all day. Must be alot of juicy ants down there.

 

I was surprised and the volume of water out and about today - main roads flooded, and it’s quite bad up the valley with some places impassable. I hope everyone can get home from work/ in to work - we just making some contingency plans on the work group.
