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.

Autumn 2019 A brief round up Autumn 2019 was a record breaking Autumn in a unwanted way as rainfall records tumbled. However it didn't start that way with September until the last nine days being fairly dry. Temperature wise the month sauntered along below average at first before a milder spell from the 20th brought the month back up to average. The highest temperature was reached on the 21st when 23C was reached. The lowest max was 12.8C on the 29th. Night time there was 18 days in signal figures with coldest night on the 8th with 5C being the overnight low. Until the 21st only 19.4mm of rain had fallen. However this quickly changed when 30.3mm fell on the 24th. The next three days produced 15.9mm. The last three days then produced 63.3mm of rain bringing the total to 138.8mm the third wettest on record. It was a quiet month as far wind storms were concerned with the highest gust a measly 38mph. The wet spell continued into October with 21.7mm of rain falling. The fifth produced another 10.1mm and it continued raining with the exception of the 8th, which was dry being the only 2nd dry day since the 21st of September right up to the 21st.The 14th produced 15.9mm. A brief dry spell 21st to the 23rd brought some relief. However on the 25th 48mm of rain fell follow by 12.6mm the day after. Thankfully only 3.9mm fell to the months end but the month recorded 154.9mm overall. This was the 3rd wettest October on record. The month was a cool one and the month had very little temperature variation through out. It only had three days with the maximum in single digits and the lowest was on the 26th with 6.5C. The highest temperature was only 15.4C on the 6th. It did look like the month would end up being average only for a cool down on from the 26th pushed the temperatures below average. The lowest night temperature being 1.3C in the 30th. Again despite being an unsettled wet month there wasn't any windy weather with highest gust being 37mph. November had to be less wet didn't well no it wasn't. It was by far the wettest November on record the 2nd wettest month ever recorded here and it also led to the wettest Autumn on record. It was also a cold month as well on only a mild spell at the end preventing it from being a notable cold month. However the rain was the main issue. Things really started to go downhill on the 6th when 17.1mm fell however that was nothing and on the 7th 74.5mm fell. This caused flooding in Sheffield Rotherham and Doncaster and other places in south Yorkshire. River levels were mostly below the levels reached in 2007 but still went over the flood defenses in Meadowhall due to poor planning. Downstream in Rotherham the river levels beat the ones in 2007. Craziness from management failed to cancel the Christmas lights despite the rainfall well forecast and the river Don levels reaching the predicted levels. So no excuse for putting people lives at risk just for the sake of the cash registers. Luckily the rain eased in the evening otherwise a lot of people trapped people would have been in severe risk of their lives. Still the rain fall with 21.8mm falling on the 14th which turned to sleet in the evening as it cleared away and 15.6mm fell on the 18th. Three days of dry weather helped the flood levels drop before rain returned. The final two days were dry with some welcome sun and some unwelcome fog. The rain brought the total up to a staggering 226.3mm of rain and the autumn to a very wet 519.9mm 62% of the yearly total. Just under 50% of it falling in November. Autumn was a cool one coming in at 9.2C - 0.8C below normal. Average rainfall for Autumn is 227.6mm and overall we were just over 228% above normal.
