Watford Weather In September

Its been a tale of two halves this month with a warmish first half and then it tailed off to become quite cold. At one stage during the month the CET was around 15.5c during the final week. This then plunged to finally finish at 13.9c which was 0.3c above the long term average. The month was dominated by high pressure but depending on the position of the high it brought mainly cool weather. Mid-month the winds came from the south and brought us warmth with the last 30c of the year, this mainly occurred in the south. Countrywide it was a dry and sunny month.

Christmas Tree

December Events 2023

The last month of the year is upon us; I hope you have had a good year. I certainly have, with lots of projects bearing fruit and with lots more planned for 2024. It was the first year I shot over 110,000 photos and attended plenty of events that I still think I have been lucky to attend.

November Events 2023

As the chill in the air deepens and the nights embrace us earlier each day, this is the time of the year when the skies burst alive with the dance of fireworks and our streets become a canvas of twinkling Christmas lights, there are plenty of lights switching on this month. from Oxford Street to Watford Town. Which are all great to photograph.

October Events 2023

October has arrived, and after a record-warm September, will the month continue in the same way? There are lots of events listed below, some of which I will be covering at various press photocalls. Look out for an article later this month on how to get into these events. My annual calendars are nearly ready to be sent to the printers; they will be added to my website in the 2nd half of the month. There will be four calendars: Watford, Fashion, London and my favourite photos from the last 12 months.
