Mountsorrel Central England Temperature Tracker

The Central England Temperature (C.E.T.) has been considered the most effective way of measuring how the UK's temperature averages over a long time. The C.E.T. is collected by Weather stations that are only located in the centre of England in an area bounded by London, Bristol, the wash and Manchester. Some of these weather stations have been reporting their temperature since 1659. The official CET figure is monitored and recorded by the UK Met Office, and a nominal past 30 year figure is used to suggest what the average Temperature should be in central England. Currently we are using averages from 1971 – 2000. I thought that it would be interesting to see how warm / cold the temperature in Mountsorrel compares to the official C.E.T. While it wont be as accurate as official CET, it should provide a good guide every month.

The figure updates every hour.  LastUpdate was: (24/04/2024 23:50 PM)
The current Mountsorrel C.E.T. tracker figure for April 2024 is: 10.0°C

UK Outlook for Monday 29 Apr 2024 to Wednesday 8 May 2024: The weekend's rain probably clearing east and northeast to leave a drier day on Monday, although the chance of showers and even thunderstorms remains. Cloudier, wetter weather is likely to quickly arrive into the west, and slide east across southern areas early next week, such that the majority of the week will be characterised by wetter weather in southern UK, drier weather in northern, especially northwestern UK, and a chance of rain or even thundery showers for a time in the east. Temperatures likely to trend upwards, with the chance of a warm to very warm spell in some southern and eastern parts, before conditions probably turn drier, cooler and more settled from the west towards the end of the period.
UK Outlook for Thursday 9 May 2024 to Thursday 23 May 2024: In this period, the chances of unsettled weather are slightly less than usual in the north and about the same as usual further south. Therefore, some spells of wetter weather are likely for all, but perhaps especially southern areas with the driest conditions probably further north. Temperatures probably near average though with some cooler interludes possible. Also worth noting that average temperatures themselves rise by around 1C per week at this time of year.

Mountsorrel is a village in Leicestershire on the River Soar, just south of Loughborough with a population of 6,662 inhabitants. A castle was built in 1080 by Hugh Lupus, but there is evidence of an earlier Norman settlement in the area in the form of pottery fragments. A Roman villa is supposed to have existed on Broad Hill during the 4th century AD, the site of today's quarry, as quarrying during the late 1800s revealed many artefacts including a preserved wooden bucket. However, the first recording of the village was in 1377, when it had a population of 156.

The Mountsorrel Weather Station is located in Mountsorrel which is just South of Loughborough andjust North of Leicester, Leicestershire.
