It's been a changeable week, to say the least. It began cold even though it was mild enough to melt the snowfall of the previous week. No sooner had the snow melted before storm Christoph arrived bringing with it milder wetter weather.

| Rainfall - January 2021 |
Storm Christoph brought with it three days of rain, and, while none of the days brought us any record breaking amounts, with the snow melt it added up to 44.0mm (1.7in) of 'precipitation' in the week. It was enough to bring about some local flooding.
The beck through Rothwell Park was running high on Monday even before the arrival of storm Christoph.
The weather has now returned to colder conditions with Sunday morning recording the lowest temperature of the year so far with the thermometer falling to -2.8°C (27.0°F).
There's more wet weather forecast for the middle of the coming week so there's the possibility that this January could finish as the wettest January I've recorded in 12 years.
It isn't going to finish up the coldest January over the last 12 years. That record will remain with January 2010 which was particularly cold. It does however look as though it might finish up in the runners up position if the current colder conditions continue.
