Make the most. There is an increasing confidence of a return to cold weather again after next weekend. Keeping an eye to see whether it develops.

The drop in pressure in #reigate as #storm #goretti passed through the area overnight.

We had some wet #snow/sleet before daylight but that has all but gone now.

Some of the forecasting models are predicting #uksnow for #reigate late Thursday or early Friday.

It's all linked with storm #goretti and whether the low tracks across the UK or northern France.

In forecasting terms it's a long way off and forecasting #snow is even harder!

Christmas 2025 in Reigate was on the cold side with below average temperatures. It was dry and sunny which made it look pleasant from inside but the cold easterly wind made it feel a lot colder if you ventured out.

Following on from the #metoffice announcement that 2025 is set to be the warmest year on record I thought I would have a look at #reigate's current averages.

As you can see, 2025 is currently set to be the warmest year since 2009 and there is a general upward trend. #climate

We've made it through to the #shortest day of the year.

The sunrise will continue to get later (until 3rd Jan) but the daylight hours will now, very slowly, increase!

Today's #sunset time in #reigate is 15:52 which is the earliest it gets. Great news, we are turning the corner.

The bad news is that the #sunrise time continues to get later and doesn't start heading in the right direction until 3rd January!!

With cold weather forecast for #reigate next week, I thought I would look at the first frosts of the year.

We are already beyond the average date of the first frost, which is 3rd November (2nd in leap years).

With no #rain in the #forecast for #reigate until Monday 20th, we could be on for the lowest number of rain days from the 1st to 19th October for at least 26 years. The average is 11 days.

The amount of #rainfall would be the 4th lowest that we have recorded for the same period.
