I've just had a look at the weather for lots of different locations around the UK and where I live we are forecast to get the coldest weather, particularly at night, where temperatures could plummet as low as 0C. We could well get a frost tonight!
![]() My Location: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2652819 Stornoway: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636790 Shetland Islands: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/8299621 Blackpool: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655459 Angelsey Airport: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/6296618 Penzance: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2640377 London: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/264374 Glasgow: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648579 Aberdeen: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657832 Inverness: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646088 Isle of Wight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/8533717 Carlisle: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2653775 Norwich: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2641181?day=0 Belfast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655984 Even right in the far north of Scotland the nights are going to be warmer than ours! I've checked different weather apps and they all say the same. I've not found another place in the UK that is going to get colder weather than us this week and the next. Last November we got non-stop rain and gloom, and this November it seems we are in for a very cold snap. Why is it that we always seem to get either the coldest or wettest weather??

That'll be your Latitude and something to with Prevailing Winds and Hills causing Precipitation. Come to Devon. It's still wet, but a bit warmer

erm..... no he hasnt. theres no 'big freeze' on the way this week, whilst we might get some frosts overnight temps are only going back down to average or a little below.
its not until the weekend trough departs eastward from sunday onwards that we might get a cold enough blast that might be described as 'freezing'... but thats will not last more then 48-72 hours. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2652819 |

Erm... yes he is, at least for my location overnight and even daytime temperatures are very low for the time of year this week and into the next. No overnight temperature higher than 5C for me. Pitiful..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2652819 we are going to get a normal early november cold spell, we are not going to get a 'big freeze'. he is wrong and highly misleading. of course the 'big freeze' was the headline, the actual report will be more accurate but the actual report bares no resemblance to the headline 'big freeze'. |

Well it certainly wasn't like this last November or the one before so its come as a bit of a shock especially as we've had a lot of mild weather recently.

There's no 'big freeze'. In fact I'd describe it as a perfect autumn day. Wall-to-wall sunshine, blue skies and a crispness in the air. Beautiful. Get out and enjoy it. |

We had a slideshow at school from a guest speaker's trip to Antarctica
Lots of pictures of them in T-shirts and shorts and sunglasses during their expeditions away from base camp. I've forgotten the temperature, but he said that when the humidity was low, no wind and the sun was out, it was lovely. |

some areas could see SNOW in showers sun/mon, the fax charts predict the 528 dam line across most of eastern uk sun/mon. any precipitation (showers) will be wintry.
by the end of next week though we should be in an unsettled northwesterly regime. the anomaly charts suggest a strong azores high by then, with an airflow coming in across the uk over its northern flank. depending upon the exact center of the high will determine how much milder spells we get..... more if its closer, less if its further away. but the northwesterly upper flow will keep things unsettled, with more spells of cooler pm air then mild tm. |

We can probably expect some snow over high ground in the North. |

It doesn't look especially mild for the forseeable -.
several runs though have predicted a milder 'warm sector' spell, short lived but its there, later next week once we pick up the unsettled northwesterly flow. |

![]() That said, looking at the weather charts for my area, temperatures (particularly the overnight lo's) are below average at the moment but could well creep up towards average or even above average by the end of the month. http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/bur...010?view=table |

Had a proper ground frost here last night suburban S. Hants i.e. ice for several hours on cars left outside, I checked at midnight. Grass minimum was below -1 deg C and stayed there for 6 hours or so but we just escaped our first air frost as it clouded over late in the night and the +1 air minimum was hit at 3:45 am.
Most non-urban places in the UK had much lower grass and air temperatures than here (e.g. even Thorney Island on the coast got down to -6 on the grass and Bournemouth airport had -2 C air frost). |

im hoping for a mild february, i like mild februaries... like 1980... http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learning...r-report-1980s You're right, February 1980 was mild but of course as expected rain was mostly above average as well. January and February 2007 were also mild as well: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/.../2007/february http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/...s/2007/january |
