Mountsorrel & Rothley Leicestershire Winter Frost Weather


Frost is a deposit of small white ice crystals formed on the ground or other surfaces when the temperature falls below freezing. For frost to form the temperature at ground level needs to be 0 °C or less. Frost can have a devastating effect on vegetation. Ice forms on the surface of plants and also freezes their internal cells. These ice crystals can expand and rupture delicate plant tissue.

Cloud cover — clouds act as a ‘blanket’ that helps prevent daytime warmth from escaping into space during the night. Clear skies mean the heat is free to escape, allowing for lower overnight temperatures.
Wind — Wind mixes the cooler air near the ground with warmer air just above it. This slows cooling at the ground.
Humidity — When there is moisture in the air, and water changes from vapour to liquid, small amounts of (latent) heat are released. This heat slows the rate of cooling.

The StromTrack weather station uses temperature probes located on grass and concreate in order to measure (frost) temperature. Frost temperature readings are recorded every second and then averaged out over 1-minute to provide a very accurate temperate reading. The Temperature sensors are of type BetaTherm 100K6A1IA Thermistor which are rated for -35° to +50°C with a tolerance of±0.2°C (over 0° to 50°C range)

UK Outlook for Wednesday 24 Apr 2024 to Friday 3 May 2024: This period will be dominated by high pressure to the northwest of the UK and lower pressure to the southeast over the near continent, and the extent to which of these systems dominates at any particular time. The wind will probably therefore predominantly come from a northerly direction, so temperatures overall are likely to remain around or a little below average, with any warmer conditions generally further west - and near some eastern coasts it could feel quite cold at times. There should be a reasonable amount of dry weather around, especially in the north and west, but some rain or showers are likely at times, most-likely in the south and east at first, but with an increasing risk elsewhere towards early May.
UK Outlook for Saturday 4 May 2024 to Saturday 18 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 at first with the driest conditions probably further north. Temperatures will probably near or a little below average at first, but likely to recover to around or a little above average through early-mid May. 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.
