Ten Years Ago Today - 25 November 2005

From the BBC Website
Blizzard leaves hundreds stranded

See the stranded cars

Hundreds of people have spent the night away from their homes after five inches of snow brought chaos to Cornwall. About 1,000 motorists had been trapped on Bodmin Moor but police say all had managed to move off or find a bed.
Many children were stuck in their schools for much of the evening and some were forced to stay in friends or teachers' homes.
Seven military aircraft have been on standby and heavy lifting vehicles have been brought in to move abandoned cars.
The Territorial Army has been asked to help people from their vehicles and helicopters carrying blankets were also flying to the area.

Your weather pictures More snow expected

About 500 vehicles, including coaches, were stuck on the A30 between Kennards House and Bodmin near to Jamaica Inn.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the A30 eastbound has reopened and was "passable with extreme caution", but the westbound carriageway remained closed.
The A390 was still blocked, but the A38 has reopened, police said.
Inspector Sean Pepper, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said everyone has been rescued from Bodmin Moor and 20 vehicles were left abandoned on the A30.
"The area has been swept with thermal imaging and we believe no one is left in any vehicles left abandoned on the road," added Mr Pepper.
A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: "As part of the joint effort between the RAF and the Navy, two helicopters carrying blankets are being sent from St Mawgen to Bodmin where a centre has been made available for drivers stuck in the snow."
More than 100 people were taken by coach to the Wadebridge Leisure Centre and 350 people were expected to sleep at the Dragon Leisure Centre, in Bodmin.
There were no reports of anyone being injured although many drivers were angry and frustrated.
Rail delays
Many children were trapped at school during the evening.
But a spokeswoman for Cornwall County Council said: "We won't have any children sleeping in schools tonight.
"They have either been able to get home or they are staying with friends locally, or in one case in a local hotel."
More than 300 pupils from one school, Treviglas Community College in Newquay, were rescued by tractors and four wheel drives by friends and family after becoming snowed in.
Fifteen pupils, aged 15 to 18, are spending the night in nearby hotel The Grantham Astor, along with three stranded teachers.
Deputy head teacher Malcolm Broad said: "They are the older students. We have managed to get most of the younger students home."

Cornwall's Eden Project has been closed

The Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro put out an urgent call for nurses, midwives and health care assistants to cover shifts overnight and on Saturday.
The NHS has asked the public only to contact hospitals in emergencies and use NHS Direct wherever possible.
The Eden Project was forced to close for the first time. Newquay Airport was also closed as were more than 70 schools across Devon and Cornwall. Rail services on the Par to Newquay branch line were suspended while fallen trees blocked one of the two tracks, causing delays to First Great Western services between London Paddington and Penzance.

October 2015 Summary

In Brief:
Mostly fine and dry for the first three weeks, then unsettled.  Temperatures slightly below average.

Temperature [Minimum]:
The coldest night of the month was that ending the 25th with 4.6 degs C.  This was the coldest October night since 2012.  The night ending the 6th was the mildest night of October 2015 with 13.7 degs C.  There has been a milder October night every year since 2005.  The average minimum temperature for October 2015 was 9.92 degs C, which is the 5th lowest of the last thirteen.
The temperature fell below 5 degs C on just the one night.  The last October night below 5 degs C was in 2012.

Temperature [Maximum]:
Temperatures ranged from 13.5 degs C on the 24th, to 19.4 degs C on the 3rd.  This is the lowest October maximum since 2010.  The average October 2015 daytime maximum was 15.64 degs C, this being the lowest since 2008 and the 4th lowest of the last thirteen.
The temperature did not exceed 20 degs C during October 2015, compared with 5 times in October 2014 and 8 times in October 2013. The mainly fine, sunny weather during the first half of October 2015 did not, therefore, lead to any particularly warm or hot weather.

September 2015 Summary

In Brief:
Fine for the first ten days and in the final week.  Unsettled in between.  Cooler than usual by day and night.

Temperature [Minimum]:
On the night ending 26th the temperature fell to 7.6 degs C, which was the coldest September night since 6.8 in 2010.  The highest minimum of the month was 15.1 degs C on the night ending 11th. There has been a milder night than this every September since 2008.
The average minimum for September 2015 was 11.22 degs C, this being the lowest at this location since at least 2004.  Previously the lowest had been 11.59 in 2008.

Temperature [Maximum]:
The coolest day of September 2015 was the 14th with 15.6 degs C.  This was the lowest September max since 15.5 in 2012.  The warmest day of the month was the 10th with 20.6 degs C.  This is the lowest September max since at least 2004.  Previously the lowest had been 21.1 in 2011.
The average maximum for September 2015 was 18.07 degs C, this being the lowest at this location since at least 2004.  Previously the lowest had been 18.83 in 2011.
The temperature exceeded 20 degs C on two days in September 2015, which is the fewest in any September since at least 2004.  Previously this had been 4 days in 2011.
The last time the temperature exceeded 25 degs C in September at this location was in 2006.
It is probably now safe to say the temperature will not exceed 25 degs C at this location at all in 2015.  The last time this happened was in 2011.

Rain:
68.6 mm of rain fell during September 2015, which compares with 181.7 mm in August 2015, and 4.6 mm in September 2014.  As September 2014 was the driest month ever at this location [since at least 2008], it is probably useful to note that of the last eight Septembers, five have had totals between 63.8 and 72.3 mm, and therefore the amount of rainfall in September 2015 was quite normal, despite a massive increase on last year.  September 2015 was also the driest month since June 2015.
The wettest day of the month was the 13th with 20.8 mm, which was the wettest September day since 2012.
There were 16 completely dry days, and 19 with no measurable rain.
There was no measurable rain between the 3rd and 10th and from the 25th.
The wettest spell of the month was from 11th to 15th, when 52mm of the 68.6 total fell.


Cumulatively 858.0 mm of rain has fallen from January to September 2015.  This compares with 870.5 mm during the same period in 2014 [-1.44%].  It is somewhat interesting that 2015 has now almost 'caught up' with 2014, when the excpetionally wet start to 2014 is considered. 

Thunder:
There was no thunder heard at this location during the month, although personally I experienced some during a thunderstorm in North Kent on the 22nd!

Winter Temperatures

As recent reports have shown, we have now enterred the time of year when it is not uncommon for the maximum temperature for a 24 hour period to occur during the night, and the minimum temperature to occur during the daytime.
As far as possible, daily reports will show the minimum overnight and maximum daytime temperatures, qualified by a note showing the extremes if they occurred during the opposite period.

For the purpose of monthly reports, summaries etc, the extreme minimum and maximum for the 24 hour period concerned will apply, regardless of the time they were reached.

Exceptions to this are:
(i) when the temperature is higher at the beginning of the new 24 hr period [2200] than the maximum reached the next day, or  (ii) when the temperature is lower at the end of the current 24 hr period [2200] than the minimum reached the previous night, and in both cases when there is both a clear night-time minimum and a clear daytime maximum and the maximum is higher than the minimum.  In these cases the daytime maximum and previous night's minimum are reported.

Exceptions example: Temp at 2200 Monday: 14.0;  Min o/night Mon/Tue: 7.0;  Max daytime Tuesday: 10.0; Temp at 2200 Tuesday: 5.0.  In this case, the Tuesday min would be reported as 7.0, and max would be reported as 10.0.    The actual 24-hour max of 14.0 would have been included in Monday's figures, and the actual 24-hour min of 5.0 would be included in Wednesday's.

August 2015 Summary

In Brief:
Wet, cool and mostly cloudy.  Very few fine days.  Mostly overcast from 19th to 22nd.
Would have been a poor month even by winter's standards.

Temperature: Minimum:
The lowest minimum of the month was on the night ending 1st when the temperature fell to 9.1 degs C.
The highest minimum was on the night ending 21st with 17.0 degs C, which was the highest minimum since September 2014.
The average minimum temperature was 13.04 degs C. This is the 3rd lowest of the last twelve Augusts, with only 2011 and 2014 lower.

Temperature: Maximum:
The 24th, with a max of 16.5 degs C, was the coldest August day ever at this location*. Previously this was 17.2 degs C recorded in August 2014.
23.6 degs C was the highest temperature recorded in August 2015, on the 8th, and was the warmest day of summer 2015.  Despite this, it is in fact the second lowest August maximum of at least the last twelve, with 22.7 degs C as the max in 2011 still holding the record.
The average maximum for August 2015 was 19.79 degs C, which is the lowest ever average for August at this location.*  August 2011 is second lowest with an average of 20.06.
The temperature exceeded 20 degs C in August 2015 on 14 days, which unsurprisingly is the fewest ever.* August 2011 has the second lowest number of days over 20 degs C, with 19.

It is the first time since 2012 that the temperature did not exceed 25 degs C during August.

Rain:
181.7 mm of rain fell during August 2015, making it the wettest month since January. This compares with 105.2 mm in July 2015, and 83.3 mm in August 2014.
It was the wettest August since at least 2007, and therefore beats 2012's 149.1 mm into second place.
The wettest day itself was the 13th with 46.9 mm, this being the wettest August day at this location since at least 2007, exceeding 45.9 mm that fell on 25th August 2010.  It was also the wettest day of any month since 24th November 2012, thus it was wetter than any day during the infamous storms of winter 2013/2014!

There were 9 completely dry days, the fewest in any month since January, however 3 more than during August 2008.  There were 10 days in August 2015 with no measurable rain.
The longest completely dry period was just 4 days, 15th to 18th.  Other than this, the 7th and 8th, 11th and 12th, and 29th were the only other completely dry days of August 2015.

Cumulatively 789.4 mm of rain has fallen from January to August 2015.  This compares with 865.9 mm during the same period in 2014 [-8.83 %].

Thunder:
None this month.

*Since at least 2004.

Night-time temperatures ranged from 5.3 degs C on the night of the 12th/13th, to 11.8 degs C on the night of the 10th/11th.  There has been a milder night than this during every May since at least 2004.

The average minimum for the month was 8.82 degs C, the lowest for May since at least 2004.
The temperature did not fall below 5 degs C in May 2015.  Since 2004 this happened in 2005, 2010 and 2014.

The coldest day of the month was the 1st with 11.3 degs C.  This was the coldest day in May since 2005.
The warmest day of the month was the 23rd with 22.3 degs C, which was the warmest day in May since 2012, although the temperature was not as high as 22.6 degs C reached in April.
The average maximum for the month was 16.53 degs C, the second lowest for May since 2004. May 2013 was colder, with an average maximum of 16.23 degs C.  The average for May 2015 only narrowly exceeded that of April, which was 15.98 degs C.
The temperature exceeded 20 degs C on only one day in May 2015, equal to the number of times it did so in May 2009.  This was one more time than in May 2013 though.  It exceeded 20 degs C twice in April 2015.

Cumulatively 382.2 mm of rain has fallen in the period January to April 2015.  This compares with 625.8 mm during the same period in 2014 [-38.9%].  Although this is well down on the year, it is still the third wettest January to April period since 2009.
