Moans, ramps and banter

 MP-R Oh yes, agree. I just meant that mentally for me it's a bit of a kick in the teeth when we so rarely seem to be able to obtain those sort of conditions in April to August haha. 

I'd rather have a fantastically sunny, warm and dry April and May and sacrifice September, than the other way around.

 

 TwisterGirl81 I played the games as a teen (Fallout)...very interesting to now see it becoming fully mainstream with a TV show

Since the discussion has gone onto TV shows, are there any Walking Dead fans in here? Quite a lot of "spinoff" shows have been made now involving different main characters and even in different countries such as one in France released last year. Main shows have finished now

Could do with a summer that resembles the Mojave Wasteland

Careful about the deathclaws though. They know how to ruin a good Saharan Plume.

This is because you spend all your free time in here with us weirdos

Anything can be available anywhere, the current working website I use to stream shows or movies is called Soaper.tv. Not much ads on there either been decent for me in recent months.

 Metwatch I like all things zombie, and just heard about 28 Years Later which is now in development.

 In Absence of True Seasons The cazadores can stay in the Scottish Highlands. Anyone wishes for an SSW and they get hit with a fat man.

 snowblizzard hey you leave Learo alone! You’re talking about the woman I love!

(Ok I’m using the Young Ones/Felicity Kendal gag here!)

 raz.org.rain That's the first chart I've seen so far from an OP run this year that actually looks properly warm (in absolute terms - obviously reaching upper teens in January or February is ridiculous, but it's not properly warm no matter how anomalous it might be).

Certainly a good chance of 20C being reached again I think next week, but that ICON run throws the cat amongst the pigeons a bit.

The key is going to be as always whether it turns into anything more sustained, or whether it is just a brief affair before we transition back to cooler northerlies again.

GFS and ECM withholding judgement tonight I think - warmer but not properly warm for most is how I'd characterise them, with only an odd few spots having any hope of reaching 20C. The first properly warm day in my book would be when we hit a widespread 20C, and the most favoured spots reach 23C or so.

Watch and wait for now I think.

[Cheshire Freeze]

 WYorksWeather I wouldn’t worry, we’ll be blasted into the furnace via blowtorch southerlys from Africa before long. It happens every summer now so I’m not sure why people get so het up about some cooler weather.

I’d snap your hand off for a guaranteed 2/3 day spell of -15 uppers in deep winter.

[B87]

 Cheshire Freeze No we won't. I don't think we will have anything seasonal until maybe August/September.

We only really had hot summers in 2018 and 2022 in recent years.

 *Stormforce~beka* Who needs TV when you can just come on here? 

 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 In Absence of True Seasons That's because I looooooooooooooooove you all LOL

 Weather Enthusiast91 Too damn true!!

[MP-R]

 In Absence of True Seasons Oh yeah definitely, if we’ve had a stinker spring and/or summer then nice weather come Sept/Oct it does feel a bit wasted. Definitely felt that a bit in late Sept and early October 2008…

Likewise cold in March and April after a naff winter.

[Wold Topper]

 B87 can you explain your rational behind this claim or is it just a 'gut instinct' without any scientific basis? Asking for a friend

[TwisterGirl81]

 *Stormforce~beka* awwwweee ha 

[B87]

 Wold Topper I feel like we will have a 1998/2016 style summer. So nothing remotely summer like until maybe late July if we are lucky, but more likely August/September.

[Wold Topper]

 B87 so just a 'feeling' nothing data based? Thank you, enjoy your evening.

[WYorksWeather]

 Cheshire Freeze I'd quite like some pleasant late spring weather to be honest. I'd actually prefer not to have any ridiculous plume setups. Some nice classic spring weather in the low to mid 20s, and some summer weather in the high 20s or low 30s with thundery interludes would be absolutely fine.

But as you say, it may be from one extreme to the other. In a way 2022 was like that - though May did produce some warmth at times, as did June, it was then July and August that kicked things up to ridiculous levels.

 

[TwisterGirl81]

 *Stormforce~beka* I wasn’t judging and I don’t recall mentioning I was childless but kind of a low blow regardless, not cool 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 TwisterGirl81 So is telling someone their kids should have been in bed hours ago when you don't know anything about them or their ages and what time they go to bed or if anything is wrong such as being upset about a berevement that is stopping them sleeping ...

[TwisterGirl81]

 *Stormforce~beka* I’m sorry if you took my comment the wrong way, my condolences 

[B87]

 Wold Topper And the fact that La Nina summers are all October-like jokes.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 TwisterGirl81 I apologise too for my assumptions.

Christ, i remember when this forum was weather based and not a resemblance of 'Facebook lite' or Mums.net
