Welcome to the new Sheffield Weather Page. A site for the city of Sheffield South Yorkshire England. The new design is more user friendly and works across more mobile devices. Live weather via Weather display live has been discontinued however live weather is viewable via the steel gauges. I’ve moved the live data feed to my own web server due to issues with my hosting ftp server. My family has been recording Weather since 1955 and in recent years this has passed to myself. I have a large amount of data which I have published on this website and hopefully I’ll find time to add to this.

Winter 2017/18 A brief round up Winter 2017/18 was just below average temperature wise coming in -0.6 below average. Rainfall wise it came average with 230mm compared to 228mm. December started on a mild note generally. This lasted until the 8th when it became very cold. This period brought the first Snow of the winter but only managed to produce  a measurable cover between 11th and 12th. The cold spell lasted until the 16th before temperatures recorded to normal then above normal. The mild spell from the 19th to the 25th completely offset the cold spell previous with the warmest day on the 20th with 12C. Another cold spell arrived 26th to 29th but only produced a brief covering of Snow of 4cm. The last two days of the month were very mild. Nearly 50% of the rainfall fell on two days the 13th and 29th. The month lacked any storms with winds only reaching 50mph once.  Snow fell on 13 days yet only gave a covering on three days. January slipped in with temperatures just slightly above normal at 4.4C compared to 4.2C. It was a very wet month with over 100mm recorded. Rainfall helped to bring Rainfall for the Winter to average.  The month started on a mild note until the 4th when a brief cold spell arrived bringing the coldest day of the month 1.9C on the 8th. It became less cold from the 10th this lasting until the 16th. The heaviest snow of the month fall on the 17th giving a covering of 3cm which failed to last into the next day.  The period from the 23rd 30th was generally mild  with warmest day on the 28th with 12.2C being the high.  The month was a very wet month with over 50mm falling in 4 days between the 14th and 17th. There were only two dry days in January. Snow fell only on 4 days ironically not during the coldest spells on the month. The month had three days where winds got over 50 mph. Again though the month wasn’t really stormy. February was a dry month with temperatures well below average.  The month started on a cold note albeit not being very noteworthy. Air frosts weren’t recorded until the 6th. The period between the 6th and 16th produced 7 air frosts. Snow fell on six days between the 5th and 12th but only produced one day with lying snow of 1cm. From the 17th it warmed up with generally mild conditions pushing the temperatures just above normal. The 19th produced the highest temperatures of 10.3C. By them models were indicating a very cold easterly outbreak as high pressure built to the north east. The very cold air was delayed not arriving until the 25th and by the 28th produced the first notable ice day of -2.8C since December 2010. it also produced the first very cold night of the winter at -6.5C. The 27th saw 0.5cm of cover which by the 28th had increased to 4.4Cm. Very little in the way of rain fell during the month and again there weren’t any storms.   .
