I had a phone call this morning from Geraint Edwards. He runs a weather and climate station in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog in Denbighshire and sends his data to the Met Office in Exeter.
So far this month Geraint has recorded 240mm of rain. The wettest November was in 2000 with 244mm so he is very close to beating this. And I think he will...
We have seen the worst of the rain for the time being but showers are expected over the next few days.
Yesterday temperatures in Trawscoed, Ceredigon reached 15 Celsius but temperatures today are lower, no higher than 11 Celsius, and its going to turn even colder over the next few days.
There might even be a touch of frost over the weekend!
Frosted leaves in ButeΜύParkΜύby Jim McLaren:
The air heading our way has its origins in the Arctic so that explains the drop in temperature but as the air crosses the relatively warmer seas around Britain it becomes unstable forming large towering clouds, heavy showers, hail, thunder and the odd waterspout.
If you're lucky you might even see a rainbow.
Let me know if you find the pot of gold!
