Local Historical Weather

Seathwaite (Borrowdale) - average rainfall for November (1845-2023) is 361.0 mm - the driest year was 1945 (31.8 mm) and the wettest 2009 (969.0 mm)

Appleby - average rainfall for November (1856-2023) is 86.7 mm - the driest decade was the 1870's (71.1 mm), the wettest, 2000's (107.3 mm) - on two occasions (1945 and 1937) Nov' has had less than 10mm and twice it has had more than 200mm (which includes 2009, the second wettest month on record)

Maulds Meaburn - November - November is wet, on average the third wettest month of the year, but after five of the last six have notched up 100mm+ we really are due a drier one. The driest Nov' in my records had 51.3 mm which makes it the wettest, driest month in my records! Obviously 2009 still lives long in the memory, even though it was 'replaced' by Dec' 2015 as the wettest. The end of the month in 2010 was very cold and snowy and the fore-runner to 'that December'. But maybe this year we will get something drier, the first half is looking settled, but what will follow after? Curiously, in my records the 1st and 16-17th have never recorded an air frost.    -    The mean temperature as ranged from 3.83°c (2010) to 8.12°c (2011).

Averages 129.5 mm of rain    -    Air/Ground Frost on 7.2 + 13.9 days    -    Snow Fall + Lay on 1.4 + 0.4 days    -    Gale on 0.3 days    -    Wet Days (1.0mm=+ of rain) on 16.4 days

  Mr. W. Hoggarth of Shap (Copy Hill) sent the following entry to the 'British Rainfall Guides' regarding the November of 1885:-

  "The beginning showery; the middle cold and dry, the end very wet.'

          He also sent in the following comments regarding particular days of the month:     

5th   'Snow.'        26th    'Strong S.E. wind and heavy rain 1.05 In.'        28th    'Strong gale and heavy rain 1.01 In.'
