All this snow is the classic sign of a polar low. A depression in the North Sea bringing sea effect snow to the east coast of England and tomorrow, there’s going to be even more snow that today.

Harry, it is great to read your blog and learn more about the weather in the U.K., especially local patterns as your current post includes. I look forward to your future postings.
As an FYI, Southern California’s Santa Ana winds are offshore, as they are further north in the San Francisco Bay Area, where they’re known as Diablo Winds (I believe named after nearby Mt. Diablo). The inland air heats up and dries as it flows down the hills toward the coast.

The areas that were worst affected by the flooding were in rural Cumbria in the north west of England where building regulations take account of the high rainfall the area has. It is the infrastructure (drains that are able to take water away as fast as it falls) that needs improving.

It has often been said that Wales’s climate can be described in just three words “Rain, Rain, Rain” and whilst this is true in a large part of the country, it is a generalisation that is slightly wide of the mark […]

I was surprised to see that the average annual temperature is 16, but that the warmest you’ve gotten in recent years is 21. I know my wife could certainly go for that!
