Current Weather Conditions-February 2008

Mothman

Wow, what a temp rise earlier.

1.0C at 4:40
8.4C at 5:20

I have to look at my record books again, I suspect 30 minute record for temp rise.

Max of 8.8C at 5:28, the min as stated above 1.0C

Now 7.7C and breezy and dry

BTW, nearly 7mm overnight before the temp drop.

Black Swan

14C in OC of So Cal. Clear night with slight wind. Warmer predictions throughout the week.:cool:

Confirmed!
7.0C rise in 30 minutes, beating 6.7C sometime in 2004.
15 minute record not quite broken, this morning 5.0C rise, recorded a 5.2C rise last year.

I was in a friends car and it showed a temperature of 3c on the dashboard device. i thought it was inaccurate because it had been realtively mild earlier on. however, later on i was looking at the lampost window and there was sleety snow falling. it didn't last long- about twenty minutes - before it turned back to rain. So can anyone explain to me why it got so cold over such a short space of time?

Mainly damp.

Front has passed through and now its bright and colder.

NACHO: Cold upper air forced down in the rain/sleet/snow.

Thunderstorm here now - sky is BLACK! Good rumbes too!

Danno

God, this is getting vicious - looks like fork lightning too! - 3 seconds between flash and boom!

YES, Hail

Supercell

Yep raining cats and dogs here, caught that hail shower too, just got out of the car and the heavens opened, pretty cool

Rain rate currently 20.2mm/hr which aint bad at all.

Snowbie

Just stayed to the south of me.Very dark looking sky with mammatus.
7.9c and falling

Mothman

6.3C, heavy rain just arriving, only had edge of shower till now.

Mothman

Rain rate 22mm/hr
Temp levelled off. 6.2C

Supercell

Roads are going to be lethal in the morning with this late rain unlikely to evaporate.

Then again, maybe there will be sneachta falling later on frozen ground......

Is that a pig I see flying overhead?

Danno

Oink Oink!

Could there have been a mini-tornado over a nearby farm? :eek:

Flood warnings throughout the night in central Illinois, plain ol' nasty weather outside! Mix of snow and rain for the next week or so and probably longer.
Current radar with snow on the way for tomorrow.

So much for the cold day - its pretty decent out there. Any frost was very light and had gone by 9.

I think this is actually a case though where the air temp despite such a minus dewpoint will rule out snow

Here it's 8.6c
The RH is 52% and the dp is,I'm not sure yet as I've only just turned the pc on again and the software is loading the data(19% of data loaded...)
It's more than likely negative though.

Snowbie

9.2c
Dp -1.1c

Lovely clear sunny day

Dave!

Beautiful day today Long may it last... something tells me it won't though

Supercell

I think my console is dying, twice in the last few days I've had to remove batteries and mains to get signal back. Have replaced battery in station also

At least the dollar:euro rate is good these days...

Currently 5.0°C and not much happening outside.

Snowbie

Even the lithuim battery on the iss too? there is two batts on the iss the lithuim is under the white cover inside the housing.

Supercell

Am almost 100% sure its not the iss as power cycling the console always gets signal back. Sometimes giving it a shake or wiggling the ariel will do the same too.
Can't afford to replace it anyhow right now, that will have to wait another couple of months.

Paddy.1

Temp has fallen again to 5.6c after reaching 7.9c earlier, though it is forecast to rise again later. Dewpoint of 3.4c. Feels cold. Getting windy now with heavy rain after glorious day.
