This is just for logging in? We’ll still be able to use our ‘handle’ so to speak?

It would seem that down here in West Kent to have been a fairly ordinary windy night. Nothing of note at all for here. I feel for Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. They’ve taken a battering.

What's wrong with rod Stewart?
Awful. In my opinion of course

Depressing to have known all that moisture just sat out in the channel refusing to budge. Still, could be worse, Rod Stewart could be singing on the radio….

I genuinely wonder just how all the models got it so wrong? Info, observations etc fed in, output generated on basis of said info and yet, utterly, hopelessly wrong. Even forecasts a couple days out seldom right. I still don’t understand the faith in them, at all.

Does look like the models have taken a massive shift away from any pro longed cold. This has been a long chase.Going to be the usual
Teleconnections are rubbish
Told you this wouldn't happen in early December
Winters over

We are organising a group hug at 12 noon if you need it.
Would be funny if the GFS ,EcM UKMO shifted the other way today.
Let’s be honest though, on a percentage scale, how many of these Narnia charts actually verify? I’d stab at less than 1%. They’re as much use as a crystal ball when it comes to cold and Snow. Garden path stuff.

I stand by my assertion that despite all the money, the computing power and the expertise of human forecasting, the models are no better than tea leaves. Rarely are they right. ‘Just for fun’ they should be labelled with

Well after an intense week or two of epic runs and so on, it looks like another case of the UK snatching defeat from the jaws of victory lol. Refuse to get excited anymore. Prefer to see what actually falls out of the sky. Fingers crossed

I don’t understand the technicalities to make an informed post on MOD thread but this I do know, until it’s down to T12/18 I don’t get excited and even then it can go toots up! I don’t get caught up in the hype anymore. Been led up that garden path far too often..

The storm is now starting to ease, still blowy across Cornwall and Devon for a few hours this morning and across the coastline of Kent and Sussex, but that’s it Folks , Storms a gonna!
For Northern France and Channel Islands it hasn’t been but for most it’s been a huge letdown from a weather perspective. Pleased in some ways but disappointed in other respects.

It's Mercury inches. 27.9 is approx 945. Lovely looking old device and functional too!
Thanks. Yes it’s always worked. Not sure of it’s age. At a guess 1920’s/30’s going by it’s look though a completed guess.

I can't quite read it, but 28 inches of Mercury is 950mb.
I suspect this is around 948mb.
Thanks very much. Really low then. Still a long way to go yet so hope we all get some wild weather from a viewing perspective but obviously not so anyone is hurt by it.

My old fashioned barometer inherited from my grandparents via my mum. Never seen it as low. No idea what the actual pressure is mind since I’m not sure how to read it correctly. Not particularly windy here. Bit of a disappointment thus far

Well forecasting a thunderstorm and climate change are 2 completely different things so you can't compare like for like. Plenty of weather models were indicating this morning would be a bust.
Yes but to some there’s not much difference! I’ve heard people literally say that

I’ll tell you what’s even more galling. Did t work today as painting exteriors, windows and doors so as well as losing out on any storms I’ve also lost a days money. More seriously it’s why many have no faith, or inclination, in what to believe about what we’re told about Climate Change (not a denier). Can’t even get the weather right a day out. Hopeless. And annoyed
