Welcome to the Sheffield Weather Page. A Weather site dedicated to the weather of Sheffield South Yorkshire united kingdom. Here you will find live weather feeds, lightning detection and records of the weather going back to 1955. I also do a local forecast five day weather forecast Sheffield and Rotherham. The family has been recording weather since 1955 and over the years the recording of weather has moved into the digital world allowing me to present live weather data so you can see what the wind is doing , how hot it’s getting or how cold it’s getting. You can check the wind and whether there are any storms nearby by looking at the live lightning. If you’re looking for data well you can access the electronic data from 2002 to present and also Weather data recorded via the Stephenson screen since 2006. You can also access all of the temperature and rainfall averages from 1955. If you’re wishing to have a copy of the data drop me a line and I’ll get back to you.

Spring 2019 A brief round up How was spring in good old Sheffield. People will be surprised overall it was really average with temperatures only coming in at 9.4C which is plus 0.6C. Rainfall was just below average overall at 163.3mm 88.3% of the spring average. This really shows the perils of people not checking with data before they start citing this spring as an example of climate change. It's a poor example of it. Back to spring and March was a very mild month yet managed to record Snow falling on four days in the month. The cold spell started from the 7th and lasted to the 13th with snow Observed on the 9th,10th,. 16th and 17th. There wasn't any snow depth away from the moors but it was nice too see some wintry weather late in the season. It didn't take long for spring to return with with several days more akin to May for us to enjoy. The warmest day was on the 20th with 19C being recorded. The coldest the 10th with 6.6C. Surprisingly no air frosts but a low of 04C and 0.6C were recorded respectively on the 10th and 11th. Despite being a mild month it was a very wet one with 110mm falling. All but 1.2mm fell between the 1st and 16th. So quite a wet first half of the month. The month was a windy one with gusts over 50mph being recorded on five days. Despite that the only really stormy day was on the 15th were 50 mph was passed several times during the day. Interestingly this didn't tie up with any of the named storms in March as the spell of windy weather was too short to be called a storm. The windy weather ceased by the 17th and the rest of the month was quite. The month did have some large temperature ranges during the day like 1.8C to 14.4C on the 30th and 6C degrees to 19C on the 20th. With March being wet and mild would April continue the theme. The answer really was no with a dry month to come and again some notable cold spells offset by some very warm ones. The first cold spell was from the 2nd to 3rd this produced the only sleet and snow of the month. The snow a few grains overnight. The nights were quiet cold just above freezing with ground frosts. It turned milder from the 5th to the 11th but nights were still on the cold side at times with the 10th and 11th again just above freezing. A short cold snap from the 12th to 14th produced air frosts three days running with a cold -1.9C being recorded on the 13th. However it wasn't long until early summer arrived with the low twenties being recorded between the 19th and 22nd. The warmest day the 21st with a pleasant 23.1C being recorded. Nights were fresh with the 21st recording 7.9C as the low. Indeed the month recorded a below average minimum of 3.5C. The day time maximum by contrast was 14.3C +1.6C degrees above average. The rainfall was only 17.2mm 9.8mm of which fell on two days. There was a run of 16 days without any measurable rain and rain fell only once during that period. On the 25th it looked like Sheffield was going to get a rare Thunderstorm as frequent Thunder was heard however as quick as the Thunder started it ceased although the shower produced marble sized hail and then one flash and rumble as it departed. The lack of Thunderstorms continues and I can't remember the last direct hit by one. So a month of summery weather and a brief potent cold spells. The summery weather and dryness gave rise to high expectations of for May and stories of doom and gloom in the media. Did May really bring doom and gloom not really. Overall it was a pleasant month just slightly below normal due to a potent cold spell from the 3rd to the 8th. The month was on the mild side from the 10th onwards but never enough to bring the month back to average. There were some nice summery days from the 13th to 15th and again from 23rd to the 25th. However the temperatures remained in the low twenties. The warmest days were on the 30th and 31st however these two days were mostly cloudy and only a brief sunny spell in the evening brought the temperatures up to 21.5C and 21.4C respectively. There were some warm nights but not massively so. These were from 25th to 27th when an unforecast cold night jumped in on the 29th to interrupt things. The warmest night was left to the 31st with 13.4C being the low. Rainfall or lack of it was the main theme with most of the rain in the first part of the month. From the 12th it was really dry. Overall May lacked any extremes and was fairly uneventful. Spring over all did produce some interesting weather with more days of Snow falling than February. A rare stormy day in March and then some early warmth. Some large Hail in April.
