| ==November 2011==
| |
| ===UK Overview===
| |
| A generally southerly flow in the first three weeks brought many very mild days. There was plenty of cloud at times, and some persistent fog over eastern England, but any rainfall was showery and mainly confined to the west. During the last week a vigorous westerly air stream brought longer spells of rain and strong winds, especially to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Areas towards the south-east remained drier with further mild days. The few frosts that occurred were mainly confined to northern areas.
| |
| | |
| The mean temperature was 2.5 °C above the 1981-2010 average, resulting in the second warmest November in over 100 years with only November 1994 warmer. The number of air frosts was among the lowest for November in the last 50 years. Rainfall amounts ranged from above normal in western Scotland and Northern Ireland to below normal over north-east Scotland and most of England and Wales and they were well below over areas of eastern England. It was particularly dry across parts of East Anglia, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Sunshine amounts varied from well above normal over northern Scotland to somewhat below across much of the Midlands and southern England. It was the sunniest November on record over northern Scotland.
| |
| | |
| A maximum temperature of {{#temperature:19.2 °C}} was recorded at Tregarth (Gwynedd) on the 13th. A minimum temperature of {{#temperature:-6.1 °C}} was recorded at Redesdale (Northumberland) early on the 7th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 on the 18th, 125.6 mm of rainfall was recorded at Alltdearg House, near Sligachan, Isle of Skye. A wind gust of 90 mph was recorded on Fair Isle on the morning of the 27th.
| |
| | |
| ====Weather Impacts====
| |
| The unusually mild autumn weather across the UK resulted in widespread reports of flowering plants and bird, insect and animal activity more typical of warmer seasons.
| |
| | |
| The relatively dry conditions across parts of the Midlands and eastern England continued to cause concerns about the water situation there next year.
| |
| | |
| On the 20th and 21st, thousands of air travellers faced disruption as fog caused delays and cancellations to flights using Heathrow and London City airports. Poor visibility also affected road travel in the south-east and other parts of eastern England.
| |
| | |
| There was a very stormy last week. Severe gales across the Western Isles on the 24th caused travel disruption, with some ferry cancellations and bridge restrictions. Northern parts of the UK were again battered by very strong winds over the weekend of the 26th / 27th. The winds brought difficult travelling conditions with restrictions on many of Scotland's bridges and cancellation of ferry services, while 400 homes on Orkney were affected by a power cut. On the 27th, a cargo ship sank in heavy seas off the North Wales coast with the loss of several crew members. Heavy rain overnight into the 29th caused flooding across much of central, western and southern Scotland with some properties flooded and roads and train services badly hit.

| ===England Diary of Highlights===
| |
| Airstreams from a southerly quarter brought many very mild, settled days in the first three weeks. There was plenty of cloud at times, and some persistent fog over eastern areas, but any rainfall was showery and mainly confined to the west. Conditions became much more unsettled in the last week, with a cooler westerly flow and strong winds at times. The mean temperature was 2.5 °C above the 1981-2010 average, making it the second warmest November in over 100 years, with only November 1994 warmer. The number of air frosts was among the lowest for November in the last 50 years. Rainfall amounts were generally below normal, with many counties recording about half the normal amount and only around one third in parts of the east. It was one of the driest Novembers on record in Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Sunshine amounts were generally close to or somewhat below normal.
| |
| | |
| ====1st to 5th====
| |
| | |
| The first few days were unsettled with bands of rain and heavy showers crossing most parts. Over 20 mm fell across much of the south-east from 0900 on 3rd to 0900 on 4th, with 56 mm at Alice Holt Lodge (Hampshire). However temperatures remained well above average, with maxima around {{#temperature:17 °C}} reported widely on 3rd.
| |
| | |
| ====6th to 12th====
| |
| | |
| A change to more settled conditions with high pressure becoming established to the east of the UK. An air frost occurred in northern areas overnight 6th/7th, with the temperature falling to {{#temperature:-6.1 °C}} at Redesdale (Northumberland). Conditions were rather cloudy for most, with dense fog patches developing across many central and eastern areas. Weather fronts tried to push in from the west by 9th, bringing rain to the south-west. Similar conditions on 10th, 11th and 12th with outbreaks of rain remaining mainly in the west and cloud and fog in the east. Despite this, temperatures remained well above average.
| |
| | |
| ====13th to 16th====
| |
| | |
| The settled weather continued, with high pressure over Scandinavia bringing south-easterly winds. A very mild day on 13th with maxima over {{#temperature:16 °C}} across much of the south and {{#temperature:18.1 °C}} at Otterbourne (Hampshire). Most parts remained dry with cloudy skies, but sunny spells towards the north-west. Maximum temperatures were lower where cloud and fog patches persisted.
| |
| | |
| ====17th to 21st====
| |
| | |
| A west/east split, with rather cloudy conditions and some patchy rain across the west and cool foggy conditions in the east. Where sunshine did occur, temperatures were once again above average, with {{#temperature:16.2 °C}} at Gravesend (Kent) on 17th. From 18th to 21st fog patches across central and eastern parts become persistent and dense, with lower daytime temperatures.
| |
| | |
| ====22nd to 30th==== | |
| | |
| An unsettled theme for the rest of the month, with several deep areas of low pressure passing north of the UK. Colder air overnight into 23rd, with one of the first widespread ground frosts of the autumn; the temperature fell to {{#temperature:-2.3 °C}} at South Newington (Oxfordshire). Cloud then increased in the north, with heavy rain across Cumbria, but elsewhere remained mainly dry. Rain continued across the north-west into 24th. Elsewhere remained rather cloudy and dry, but windy. Further rain spread across all areas on 25th, clearing the south-east early on 26th. Western areas saw more rain on 26th, but the south-east remained largely dry. Rain quickly cleared south-eastward early on 27th to leave a fine, sunny day. It remained windy but, despite this, temperatures rose to around {{#temperature:14 °C}} in the south-east on 27th with {{#temperature:14.8 °C}} at Hastings (East Sussex). A widespread air frost in the south-east early on 28th, with {{#temperature:-5.0 °C}} recorded at Upper Lambourn (Berkshire), before rain spread into the west. The 29th was very unsettled, with a squally band of rain moving eastwards; a gust of 58 mph was recorded at Plymouth (Devon). Temperatures in the morning reached {{#temperature:13 °C}} widely, with {{#temperature:13.9 °C}} at Leeming (North Yorkshire), but colder air followed the rain. Heavy showers continued through 30th, especially in the west and near the south coast.

| |
| | |
| ====13th to 16th====
| |
| | |
| Settled weather predominated, as high pressure persisted to the east of the UK. Much of Wales remained dry throughout the period, with sunshine on 13th. Thereafter it was often dull and overcast, with hill fog and occasional drizzle, and only limited sunny spells developing. After an exceptionally warm day on 13th, when the temperature reached {{#temperature:19.2 °C}} at Tregarth (Gwynedd), it remained mild or very mild.
| |
| | |
| ====17th to 21st====

| |
| | |
| ====22nd to 23rd====
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ====24th to 30th====
| |
| | |
| On 24th a deep depression moved north-eastwards, to the north-west of the UK. An associated band of rain moved eastwards across Wales on 25th, followed by showers and windy conditions. The wind continued to strengthen through 26th, bringing widespread gales and gusts to almost 70 mph along the coast, and rain persisted across the far north-west. The rain then quickly cleared south-eastwards on 27th, leaving a fine day with the wind easing. After a fairly quiet day on 28th, with just drizzle in the west, 29th had another period of wet and very windy weather. A band of heavy rain moved eastwards, with gusts around 50 to 60 mph; Capel Curig (Conwy) recorded a gust of 81 mph. Heavy showers, some with hail and thunder, followed on 30th. It was also very windy but remained mild.

| Mean air temperatures were well above average, with differences above normal, ranging from {{#temperature:2.1°C}} to {{#temperature:3.3°C}}. The majority of stations in the west, midlands and east reported their warmest November on record, with Phoenix park reporting its warmest November since the station opened in 1855 (156 years), with a mean temperature of {{#temperature:9.9°C}}. and with some stations in the south and southwest, reported their warmest November since 1994 (17 years). Grass and air minimum temperatures were above average for the month everywhere, leading to a below average number of air and ground frosts reported. Minimum air temperatures recorded at stations in the west and south were the warmest in a number of years, with Belmullet and Cork Airport recording their highest November minimum temperatures since records began in 1956 (55 years) and 1962 (49 years), respectively. Rainfall for the month was above normal in parts, with the majority of stations in the south and west measuring the highest rainfall totals. Valentia Observatory recorded the highest monthly rainfall, with 203% of its long-term average and highest daily rainfall of 57 mm, its highest daily fall in November in 27 years. Shannon Airport received below average rainfall, but reported a daily fall of 28 mm on the 29th, the wettest November day at the station since 1980 (31 years). Despite some areas recording above average rainfall, the number of wetdays (days with 1 mm or more) was mainly below average for the time of year, except in the southwest. Sunshine totals for the month were above average, except in the south and southeast. Shannon Airport recorded 136% of its November sunshine and measured its sunniest November in 5 years, while Cork Airport had below average sunshine with 63 hours, its dullest November since 2004.
