WATFORD WEATHER – SEPTEMBER 2017 STATISTICS

Its been a rather disappointing month with the UK weather being changeable with lots of showers and spells of rain. Our weather has predominately been Atlantic driven with lots of low pressure systems driving our weather. We had a warm spell at the beginning of the month which was very fleeting but overall its been a cool & wet month.

UK stats

The highest during the month and the lowest minimum will be updated when they are published. The CET ended up at 13.53c -0.1c below the long term average. This is the 2nd month this year with a slightly below average temperature in 2017. For the last month or so we have been on the cold side of the jet stream after being on the warm side for more than 13 months. I think the weather has flipped into a slightly cooler phase which if you want a cold winter it is increasingly likely. Next month I will look at the coming winter and the probability of colder or warmer season.

Looking ahead to October

October is looking like more of the same from September although the Azores high might be making more of an appearance during the first part of the month. This might bring our first widespread frosts of the month but during the day it should be fairly warm in any sunshine. In September we didn’t have any northerly winds but this will change in the first week of October.
