Our Weatherman in the Village says:
The wet weather continued this week with nearly two inches of rain recorded. A brief respite looks likely Monday and Tuesday, but more wet and windy weather is forecast for the middle of the week.

Thank you Cheryl for the following:
Please take care if out and about on the roads tonight. Conditions are treacherous with puddles where there aren’t normally puddles and they take you by surprise.

The past week was even wetter than the previous week, continuing the damp start to 2014. The good news is that we might see less rain in the coming week (not difficult). The bad news is that it will be colder!

Last week was another wet one with again more than an inch of rain recorded. Thankfully the rain has temporarily ceased, but it looks like it will return in the middle of next week.

Our Weatherman in the Village is reassuring about the prospect of snow, but warns of more rain:
Don’t be fooled by the settled weather today (Sunday) as there’s another Atlantic depression and front sweeping in from the west to bring more wet and windy weather later today and tonight. The coming week will be punctuated by more of the same – wet, windy and relatively mild. At least we’re not battling the snow!

Thank you David G for these photos of this frosty Sunday morning, is this the the start of colder weather, with perhaps Ski Sunday next weekend?

A number of news reports today have suggested that tonight (Thursday) could be our best chance in years to see the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. It is thought that the best time for viewing will probably be between midnight and 3am, and the Met Office’s current cloud cover forecast bodes well for our area.
If we do strike it lucky, any photo or video evidence would be greatly appreciated!
For more info, read the news reports in The Guardian / The Independent / The Telegraph.
For more alerts as the night progresses, Lancaster University’s AuroraWatch project has a regularly updated Facebook page, Twitter feed and website.

This morning’s sunrise certainly got our photographers up and out. Here is one of Steven J’s stunning photos:

Happy wet New Year! The past week seems to have been very wet, and the ground is certainly waterlogged. Looks like another low pressure system will be tracking to the north, bringing more rain later today (Sunday), but hopefully the coming week will not be quite as bad as last.

We’ve turned the corner, and the lights are now getting lighter, thank goodness – next stop Wakes!
After a pretty wet and miserable mid-winter week last week, the forecast is for lower temperatures with blustery conditions for the coming Christmas week. Indeed, the temperatures may well be low enough for some of the showers to fall as sleet or wet snow – so we might just get some white stuff on Christmas Day – with a better chance over the tops outside the village. Ho ho ho…..!

Our weatherman says:
Relatively mild and changeable weather is forecast for the coming period. None of the white stuff on the horizon, so the odds for a white Christmas are getting longer…

Our Weatherman says:
No extraordinary weather on the horizon. Probably more of the same, with the dry spell looking like continuing. Temperatures near normal for the time of year, but no hard overnight frosts are forecast yet.

Dry and calm for the next few days, but colder and more unsettled weather is expected toward the end of the week.

Derbyshire County Council is keen to ensure that local communities have access to the most up to date/useful information during extreme weather/snow conditions such as:
Click here for the link to the Council’s snow information pages. The blog team has added a link – “DCC Snow Info” – to the WEATHER section of the sidebar so that this information can be readily accessed.
Click here for information regarding the nearest grit bin or to report an empty, vandalised or missing bin.

The mild spell looks to be coming to an end from Tuesday onward, with a significant drop in temperatures on the cards. Winter is definitely on the way – maybe even some of the white stuff…….

Our weatherman says:
Although today (Sunday) looks like being fine and bright throughout the day, the rest of the coming week will be quite unsettled, with wet weather never far away. Temperatures are near seasonal norms, with the possibility of the odd night frost.

Another Autumnal week in prospect. Tomorrow (Monday) looks like the pick of the days ahead right now, with clear skies in prospect. Blustery showers look like returning for much of the rest of the week.

With 2.74 inches of rain through the week, it has been very soggy! The impending deep low coming in from the south west looks at the moment to be tracking a bit further south than previously predicted, which hopefully means we might be spared the worst of the wind tonight and tomorrow morning (although it does look like we’ll get very wet again). Deep Atlantic depressions are certainly not unusual at this time of year, but this one looks a little more extreme. The south of the country will be very stormy tonight. The rest of the week looks like being wet, windy and still mild.

There is an impending storm given for the early hours of Monday morning. Met office have issued yellow and amber alerts.

Just more ‘Wet, windy and mild‘ weather, with a bit of hail thrown in.

Not a particularly pleasant week in prospect. The calm autumn of recent weeks has broken, and a pattern of wet and windy weather looks like it has settled in. The only saving grace is that the temperatures are not too low. Personally I would sacrifice the mild temperatures for some crisp clam and cold autumn conditions!

If these cool nights and warm sunny days continue, these photos, taken by David G this morning, are a strong incentive to get up early:
Click on photos to enlarge, and continuing on is strongly recommended:

2013 is continuing its theme of great weather. I write this, looking out on a glorious autumn Sunday morning with all the reds and gold appropriate for the time of year. The coming week looks quite settled with little or no rain on the horizon. Temperatures look like they will fall during the week.

The glorious weather this weekend has been an added bonus to the great summer we’ve already had. The settled spell looks like continuing into the early part of the week, with more changeable weather forecast toward the end.
