7 Day Snow risk for Northants, initialized at 3:00 PM 27 Jan, 2012
Today Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
0 % 0 % 0 % 0 % 0 % 0 % 0 %
This forecast is risk based and subject to change.

NOTICE BOARD
Cold with some sunshine at times, especially during the morning, but showers are also expected, with some quite heavy and prolonged in the afternoon, giving some sleet or snow, mainly over the Peak District. Maximum temperature 6C.

Feburary Forecast: Indecisive

The forecast for early February remains very uncertain. There appear to be two main scenarios, each equally probable, but which are very different. The first scenario consists of a changeable westerly or southwesterly weather type with rain at times (amounts greatest in the west), and with temperatures noticeably above average for early February, with only occasional frosts. The alternative scenario is that much colder weather with winds mainly from an easterly or northeasterly quarter, will prevail well into February, bringing widespread frosts and snow to some areas. In this scenario it would be the east that was most vulnerable to snowfall.

HEAT INDEX
The Heat Index (HI) (or apparent temperature) is a measure of relative discomfort due to combined heat and high humidity. It was developed by R.G. Steadman (1979) and is based on physiological studies of evaporative skin cooling for various combinations of ambient temperature and humidity. As temperatures climb above 90 °F and humidity goes above 40 percent, conditions are ripe for heat-related illnesses.
