The Weather

No one can have missed that we’ve had seasonal weather pretty much since the beginning of December. As a result, the road salt’s reported to be running low (and not just in Sir Ddinbych). Quoting Saturday’s Daily Post, “Denbighshire council said it was experiencing low salt stocks but was expecting a new batch of grit to come in.”

If you haven’t discovered the Rhuthun Weather website, now’s certainly the time to do so. The forecast is by far the most detailed available on the web. And there are many statistical features if you feel inclined to check past local trends.

Rather like the Rhuthun/Ruthin blog, Rhuthun Weather appears something of a labour of love.

The local amateur forecaster uses WXSIM simulator software described as an “interactive local atmospheric model”. It collects local data with an option to use the forecaster’s own skill & judgement and then updates itself automatically on line. So far, it’s accuracy has been pretty high.

That it models the weather constantly shows itself in the predictions for snow accumulation on Monday night (variously from up to 2½ to 8 inches, but static at present at 4 inches). No other forecaster can be so precise about the local weather—or stick their necks out. Worth a visit and worthy of your support—check out the five day forecast.
