SE, London and East Anglia Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 on

@throwoffDare I look?

[Matty88]

@throwoff Yes - early-mid Feb looks of interest, the jet showing signs of diving South. This is still a  good time of year for cold. Models slowly edging closer to a colder solution. 

 

Lets hope this time people don't mistake cold solutions for snowy solutions!! There is a big difference. A straight Northerly/North Westerly would be bad news for us in EA/SE.

Lots of coffee being smelt in the MOD thread this morning but there is still a lot of coffee to pass under the bridge before we get to Narnia which usually means sleet for London.

[Freeze]

It's sunny and 11c here, very pleasant Indeed! I hear spring calling...

[MAF]

Ahhh Spring, my favourite part of winter 

Not sure we are there yet, but wish it would hurry up and arrive as i am fed up with winter now. 

To be honest i was fed up with winter once i ventured into the model threads and saw the sine wave pattern of :-

'coldest winter for years'

'snow for everyone'

'oh no, its not going to be cold now the models have had their say'

'but you said last week that this week will be better' etc. etc. posts.  

killed winter for me.

@MAF white easter is a certainty 

[Atmogenic]

hoping more of what the weather has been like today, i miss it a lot 

[alexisj9]

  @Freeze done some basic gardening today, basically pulled a few weeds while the weather is warm and soil is damp win win in my book.

[lassie23]

  @alexisj9 my garden is a bog

[alexisj9]

  @lassie23 mine us walkable on, but damp enough to pull tap roots out nice and easy.

[lassie23]

  @alexisj9 I might wait until it is 30c in April to do mine

[snowblind]

Blimey the MOD thread is dead. Only 10 post all morning

[MAF]

Maybe they are all looking for the quote button... still it makes reading the thread a lot easier where there is not a page of model pics all set vertically instead of mosaic. and then repeated where someone has just hit 'quote' 

[Challock Weather]

Foggy up here this morning - irony is the moon was so bright in the early hours it lit up the garden. Possible rumours of a pattern change beginning 2nd week of Feb but I wouldn't put money on it just yet... Still thinking it will be a late spring this year

[Harry's House]

  @Challock Weather Foggy here this morning as well, but has cleared.

[alexisj9]

  @Challock Weather and here, but it was damp fog so probably low cloud.

  @MAF think this will be much better, will take some getting used to though.

Isn't all fog damp? Lol. It was foggy here last night but must've cleared during the early hours as the breeze picked up.

I’ve been out of the SE for 18 months now, but always keep up on the thread…. Saw this cloud formation on the way home tonight in Al Ain, UAE…. First thought it was a contrail mixing with the cloud, but actually doesn’t look like it is.. you might need to zoom in a little

[Methuselah]

  @John Stevens: It could be the shadow of a contrail -- unless it's a chemtrail. 

[John Stevens]

  @Methuselah shouldn’t be a chemtrail as the pic is looking straight out into the desert, and where we are there’s no industry to emit. I suspect it was contrails passing through a cloud layer…but there’s nothing under the cloud layer which is what piqued my interest

Edited January 25 by John Stevens

[Methuselah]

  @John Stevens My apologies, John, my mention of 'chemtrails' was a pathetic joke, as they don't exist. . .

[John Stevens]

  @Methuselah by chemtrails I thought you meant emissions from power stations or, more likely here, oil refineries/ desalination plants…

Those emissions here are very “snaky”…so perhaps “chemtrails” is a good description

[Vortex3929]

  @Methuselah haarp in full effect instead

Not really liking this new quote thing but will give it time as it's new. Interesting to see how it does when mad thread gets super busy however

You can still quote, but you chose what you want to quote rather than the whole thing.

[lassie23]

from the latest round of model output, we are nailed on to have a cold spell by February 2025
