COLDER NIGHTS -
JUST ABOUT FREEZING !!! - My colleagues Paul & Jim, today's Meteorologists on The
Met Office Slopes Weather Station Team, recorded an Air Temperature overnight
low of 2.5 C - and a Grass Tip Temperature of 0.0 C on Saturday morning. Air
Temperature is measured inside a standard ventilated cabinet (a "Stevensen
Screen") This is about 2 metres off the ground - at head height. Ground level
(measured by a thermometer just touching the grass tips) temperature is usually
lower than air temperatures - cold air is more dense so it sinks to the ground
and displaces the warmer air upwards. Some slightly more mild
nights now for a few days before it gets colder again, later next week - More on

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
........... Thursday 21 Oct - Saturday 30 Oct
Sunny spells and showers for most areas at the start of this period with some
places remaining dry. Feeling breezy at times especially along northern, eastern
and southern coasts. Temperatures falling to below average for most, increasing
the likelihood of snow over higher ground in the north. More settled conditions
likely to develop for a time late in the week with some dry weather for most.
However, probably turning unsettled again over the weekend as cloud, rain and
stronger winds arrive from the west. Unsettled conditions then likely to persist
towards the end of October. Temperatures most likely trending up after a colder
start to this period. Any further spells of colder weather likely short lived
and restricted to the north.
Sunday 31 Oct - Sunday 14 Nov
Through the end of October and early November the weather is likely to be
dominated by systems arriving from the Atlantic. Remaining unsettled and windy
with the wettest and windiest conditions in the north and west. Driest
conditions across the south especially the southeast with lighter winds but the
risk of overnight fog at times. From early to mid-November increasing chance of
settled weather but confidence of this is very low. Temperatures are likely to
be warmer than average for most. Perhaps some colder spells and an increasing
chance of frost and fog towards the end of this period but confidence of this is
very low. .................................
