Thread: January Weather Forecast

Monthly Summary:

So another Christmas has passed with the only snow of any note falling in Albert Square, Walford. It was certainly cold enough for snow at times but with high pressure anchored across the UK, we had to put up with the cool, foggy but dry spell of weather.
December as a whole was another mild month with average maximum temperatures being around 1C above average. All manner of temperature records were broken in 2006 which was the warmest year since records began (in 1659). July was the warmest month of the year and 2006 also had the warmest September and the warmest growing season (April to October).
It is going to remain unsettled over the next few weeks. After a rather cold start for some at first, it should become increasingly mild.
Mild, wet and windy weather will predominate for much of January, but we are looking at a fresher start to the new year.
Monday 1st to Sunday 7th January

It does look like a case of new year but same old weather. Spells of wet and windy weather will continue to rattle in from the Atlantic.
The only subtle change, at least initially, is that with the winds will feed in from a northwesterly direction. As a result, it will be a chilly start to the week but a bright one. Temperatures will generally remain in single figures. There will be some blustery showers, especially in the west and these are likely to fall as snow over the mountains in the north.
Temperatures should recover around the middle of the week as strong southwesterly winds bring further spells of heavy rain in from the Atlantic. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have the wettest and windiest weather.
As the rain clears south towards the end of the week, we are likely to find fresher, brighter weather across many parts. There should be some good sunny spells in between the rain or showers.

Monday 8th to Sunday 14th January

A slight rise in pressure should allow England and Wales to become less windy and turn drier but it is likely to remain rather unsettled in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The best of any brightness will be towards the south and east. A mild week is expected but there could be a touch of frost in one or two sheltered spots.

Monday 15th to Sunday 28th January

This period does look unsettled with spells of wet and windy weather returning from the Atlantic. As a result, it will remain mild if not very mild across all areas.
I suspect that it could become very wet at times across the north and west but rainfall totals are likely to be below average towards the southeast.
