WATFORD WEATHER – NOVEMBER 2017 STATISTICS

November has been an average month across the UK, with some warm spells but ending with a cold spell and the first snow on the eastern side of the country. Even in Watford we had our first flurries of snow on the final day of the month. End of the month also spelled the end of Autumn (meteorological). Its been a relatively average season with September just below average, October 1.7c above normal & November looking like 0.2c above normal. The CET for November ended up at 6.82c which was 0.2c above average.

Looking ahead to December

The early signs are that December will be cooler than average, with spells of northerly winds, which will get colder over time. Some places at the beginning of the month would have had more snow than the last 5 years put together. The 2nd week is looking interesting with a more vigorous low pressure system plunging down the north sea. This could bring record storm surges and blizzards inland. In the run up to Christmas it is looking like it will be mild but I would say this is only 50% as there have been lots of the computer models showing cold weather close by.
