Welcome to the Sheffield Weather Page. A Weather site dedicated to
the weather of Sheffield South Yorkshire united kingdom. Here you
will find live weather feeds, lightning detection and records of the
weather going back to 1955. I also do a local forecast five day
weather forecast Sheffield and Rotherham.
The family has been recording weather since 1955 and over the
years the recording of weather has moved into the digital world
allowing me to present live weather data so you can see what the
wind is doing , how hot it’s getting or how cold it’s getting. You can
check the wind and whether there are any storms nearby by looking
at the live lightning.
If you’re looking for data well you can access the electronic data from
2002 to present and also Weather data recorded via the Stephenson
screen since 2006. You can also access all of the temperature and
rainfall averages from 1955.
If you’re wishing to have a copy of the data drop me a line and I’ll get
back to you.
Autumn 2020 A brief round up
Autumn 2020 was overall an average season temperature wise and
a dry one rainfall wise which may surprise a few people. The season
generally
followed dry,
wet , dry
pattern of the
year although
unlike
summer the
rainfall came
in well below
normal. The
season also
stopped the
run of very
warm months
with September average, October slightly below and November
coming as mild. Overall this meant the season coming in close to
average and possible stopped the year being the warmest on
record. December will decide that fate.
September kicked with a couple of chilly nights before night time
temperatures recovered towards normal. For the firm seven days
the temperatures by day were below normal. A one day warm spell
on the 8th brought temperatures to 24C one only 7 days to reach or
break the 20 degree mark. Temperatures fell back to the upper
teams again with some single figure night time values although the
9th recorded the warmest night of the month with 16C being the
low. The period 13th to the 15th brought the warmest period of the
month albeit short with 25.4C on the 14th and the hottest day of the
month 27.2C on the 15th. The next day saw a 11.7C difference in
temperatures as cool air arrived with night times being on the chilly
side. A two day warm on the 21st to 22nd saw the month switch to a
cold ending with the coldest day on the 26th with 12.1C being the
high. Nights were very cold from the 24th to 30th with 3C being the
low on the 28th and 29th.
Rainfall wise September was very dry the highest rainfall only being
7.6mm and a period of 16 days from the 8th to the 22nd when only
0.6mm of rainfall. The monthly total of 25.8mm was only 39.4% of
the monthly average. The month was very benign with 33 mph
being the highest gust.
October was a more active month and although the named storms
Alex, Barbara and Aiden hardly had any impact at all on the region
Alex did at least produce 32mm over three days. The heaviest
rainfall of the month being 24.7mm on the 4th. Another 18.3mm fell
on the 7th. Rainfall by the 8th had well passed September total as
59.7mm fell. Odds were on for 100mm plus month. After that
despite forecasts of heavy rain very little fell from the 9th to the
25th with around 20mm being added. However enough rain fell
from the 26th with 10.8mm to limp the total to 104.4mm 126.1% of
the monthly average. The rainfall amounts again well below the
suggested amount in the forecast though bar the 26th which was
wetter. Temperatures over the month hardly varied during the
month with a high of 16.4C on the 20th and a coldest day of 9.3C on
the 26th. Only two days failed to reach double digits these being the
26th and 28th. Night time figures were in single figures through out
but basically average. The coldest night 2.5C on the 23rd and
warmest 9.9C on the 7th and 8th. Day time temperatures were a
degree below average while night time were close to average. This
meant October just edged under normal but basically considered as
average. The storms Barbara and Aiden were notable for being
none storms and had very effect on the regions weather. Another
quiet month in regards to the winds with an absence of any stormy
weather being the notable feature.
November was another quiet month. It did produce a notable 17C
on the 1st and the first air frost of -0.5C on the 28th. After the first it
did cool down a lot with 8.5C being the the high on the 3rd and
some cold nights on the 4th, 7th and 8th. The lows being 3.6C, 2.5C,
2.5C. The 4th producing the first visible ground frost at the start of
the day. A very mild spell started from the 9th ;lasting to the 18th
pushing the month to well above normal the last five days not cold
enough to bring the average down to normal. The coldest day of
6.8C on the 28th actually saw the temperatures rising overnight with
the peak around midnight. The 27th recorded the coldest night of -
0.5C which was colder than actually forecast. The month finished on
a dreary note with grey skies fog and mist being served up in more
typical November weather. The highest rainfall of 7.6mm fell on the
15th and the next highest was 7.1mm on the 1st. The lack of windy
weather continued with only 37mph being the high on the 1st and
2nd. It was a month of little action overall and certainly won't be
remembered for anything.
Autumn overall quiet uneventful and dry with average.
