-A Wonderful 7.75 hours of sunshine over
the High Peak on Friday! - and a continued flow of warm air, coming all the way from
Africa, gave us a maximum temperature on Thursday of
12.0°C!
TRAFFIC: ...Traffic hold ups on St. John's
Road, Macclesfield Road and Leek Road. Queuing traffic - the road works are
actually in Leek Road. Coned off hole and nobody working!! Thank you Felicity
Dobson @ 12.30 Saturday
ROADWORKS: TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE A515 Ashbourne Raod Between Newhaven &
Ashbourne (between Newhaven & Ashbourne from its junction with the A5012 to its
junction with the B5035.) - Monday 25th February to Friday 1st March from 21:00
to 06:00 each night - Thank you Pete Tapping for this information
AND... Heathfield Nook Road (From Burlow Road to The A515 Ashbourne
Road) is to close from Monday February 11th to Friday March 1st for Water
works - and repairs to the rail bridge (Thank you I Burton for this information)
AND... You may remember that the A537 Cat & Fiddle Road was due to be
closed for carriageway patching, for a few days recently - that work was
postponed when the snow arrived! - Thank you Philip at the Peak View Tea rooms,
just near the Cat & Fiddle Pub, for an update - the work has now been
rescheduled - it will now take place from 6th March through to 21st March,
weekdays from 09.30 to 15.30.
A Full "Snow Moon" (The Snow Moon is the Full Moon in February, named after the
snow on the ground. Some North American tribes named it the Hunger Moon due to
the scarce food sources and hard hunting conditions during mid-winter, while
others named it the Storm Moon!) will light up the night sky on Tuesday
February 19th, as the moon makes it closest approach to Earth in the lunar
cycle. The spectacle comes just weeks after a rare super blood moon lit up the
skies. During a supermoon, the moon appears slightly bigger than usual because
it’s at its closest approach with our planet. The phenomenon will be visible in
the UK at 3.53pm - the moon will look larger and brighter than usual. - and you
(depending on cloud cover!) will be able to see it all with with the naked eye.

Please bear in mind, that users of this site,
especially in adverse weather conditions, have reached biblical proportions! -
something in the region of 15,000 visitors an hour at peak times - as a result,
when the site is very busy, there may be a delay in loading. To help with fast
loading for everyone - even those on slower Internet connections, a number of
changes are taking place - you may have noticed that all the pictures have
changed to "Thumbnails" - this decreases data download - and has the added bonus
of my being able to show a much better quality image,
than previously,
when you click on a thumbnail. Also, at times of very high demand, you may
find that the images and graphs of various weather parameters are missing from
the table below - that will be temporary - all the images and graphs will
reappear, as soon as site demand drops. I am doing all this to make sure
you can continue to have the best possible access, to buxtonweather.co.uk

----UK Outlook for Friday 22 Feb 2019 to Sunday 3
Mar 2019:
Friday is likely to be mild but breezy across the UK with many places dry and
sunny. The southeast may see some early mist and fog, but also the best of the
sunshine and very mild in places. The far northwest could see some rain and
stronger winds; generally cloudier, more changeable here. This
northwest-southeast split in conditions is likely to be maintained through the
weekend and into next week. Any spells of rain from the northwest will tend to
weaken as it moves southeast, bringing cloudier spells. Dry, settled conditions
are likely to dominate through the end of February away from the far northwest;
overnight frosts are possible. By early March we are more likely to see Atlantic
fronts crossing the UK bringing stronger winds and rain at times.
UK Outlook for Monday 4 Mar 2019 to Monday 18 Mar 2019:
By early March there are signals for Atlantic fronts crossing the UK, bringing a
mixture of wet and windy weather to many parts, but also intermittent drier
spells. Snow remains possible over higher ground in the north. There are weaker
signals for snow to lower levels elsewhere should a cold easterly develop; this
remains a small possibility. However, milder conditions remain more likely,
although occasional overnight frosts remain possible.----------------------
