WXMickleton is a individually-run, hobbyist weather forecasting site for Mickleton, Gloucestershire, UK and the immediate vicitnity.
While I cannot guarantee that my forecasts will always be entirely accurate, they should be more useful to locals compared with national
forecasting sites such as BBC/ITV Weather as my forecasts are specific to the village itself and are not calculated by a computer using the broad regional forecasting average.
The terminology I use in my forecasts:
Rain/Snow - steady, continuous precipitation.
Showers - intermittent heavy downpours of precipitation, typically followed by drier conditions.
Hot - temperatures are expected to exceed 26 degrees celsius.
Very hot - temperatures are expected to exceed 32 degrees celsius.
Extremely hot - temperatures are expected to exceed 37 degrees celsius.
Cold - temperatures are not expected to exceed +5 degrees celsius.
Frigid - temperatures are not expected to exceed 0 degrees celsius.
I only issue weather advisories for severe heat, snow, wind, thunderstorm or freezing rain events.
ALWAYS check with the official government-run Met Office weather/warnings forecast for Mickleton if severe weather is likely or if your activities are especially weather dependent.
The current temperature reading is taken by my weather station in Mickleton village center at a height of 2 metres above ground and provides a new reading every minute.
Temperatures may vary within the village itself depending on altitude, shade from the sun, proximity to conductive materials or surrounding topography.
Weather warnings are issued on the local Facebook group, Mickleton Notice Board.
