2024 - Glanton-on-Line Weather

A fairly typical November with the climate dominated by a Westerly airflow. A short period of frosts with a little snow in the second half of the month. Rainfall was very low and, while other parts of the UK were suffering serious flooding, rainfall in Glanton was the lowest it has been in November for at least the last ten years.

A relatively mild but wet month, with rainfall at 224mm and well above the ten-year October average of 145mm. A strong south-westerly gale struck during the third week of the month, the first storm of the season and named Storm Ashley.

When compared to the extensive flooding in Southern counties of England during the month, in Northumberland, we experienced slightly less than the average rainfall for September. There were one or two pleasant spells of early autumn weather, especially in the third week of the month.

August was an unremarkable month of slightly less than average rainfall and unremarkable temperatures. The month was dominated by a breezy south-westerly air flow.

June was a complete reversal of the previous months with a substantial reduction in rainfall to a figure of less than half the average for the month. The widely predicted heatwave never happened and temperatures did not really rise until the third week and then only to a maximum of 25degC for a two-day period.
