Week's forecast

Week's forecast issued Sunday 15th November, valid Wednesday 18th November to Sunday 22nd November 2009.

Teesdale Forecast (issued Sunday 15th) - Mild and windy, rain most days.

A deep low pressure to the north-west of Scotland will bring strong south-westerly winds to Teesdale for all of this week. There will be showers or longer spells of rain, heaviest in the upper dale above Middleton. It will be mild with little, if any, frost, but very windy at times.

High 12°C (54°F) in Barnard Castle. Low 2°C (35°F)

The stormy weather I expect this week does have a few compensations. There is no sign of cold weather or sustained frost in the outlook and in relatively sheltered Teesdale we should fare best in the country for sunshine. There is obviously the problem of wind damage, but most things are well tied down in these parts!

Last week's statistics:- Temperature 5.5°C (normally 4.8°C) High 11°C(52°F) Saturday. Low -1°C(29°F) Tuesday. Windiest 36mph Saturday. Rain 29mm (norm 17mm) Sunshine 16hr (norm 15hr)
