it does upset me when people say "bingo" or "jackpot" for the south east and we still see the tip of kent (thanet) out of the equation, something I should have got used too but never will
I feel your pain.. but it also happens quite often in west london ! (being neither east or west or north or south enough most of the time)

Indeed. I used to love walking around New York when a nor'easter was incoming. Wind is picking up nicely, temp 1.6 dp -2.
I used to do a lot of work in Maclean Virginia (just outside Washington DC) When it snowed there it was epic ! I have just been out for a walk around Chiswick (west london) and the air felt icy cold so perfect for snow

Just seen another slight upgrade on the met office forecast for my area.. now I have to find where I left my list of snow puns, so I have them ready for the morning.
Its snow joke, I cant make it to the office today...
-
Considering the met 5 day showed all rain / sleet for the local area around QPR on Tuesday (which was correct) and currently has heavy snow for at least a couple of hours overnight.. I shall bank it and any extra will be a bonus ..
-
My conservatory is telling me it is raining at the moment .. but Im hopeful of dandruff in west London later, or certainly on the back-edge of my hair brush..
Seriously I will be happy if I see some flakes on the back edge and frankly this has ended up rolling through about 3 hours too early.. C'est la vie

Current Dew points looking a little bit lower ahead of the front than I think the models were predicting.. I think there could be more of a chance of some overnight heavy wet snow than currently expected

Had a red sky this morning (so I will play Shepherds Warning) I feel a very good chance of a snowy end to the overnight action.. in any case I expect a real mare of a morning commute.. I look forward to the next set of model updates and following the radar later today

Can’t say the latest beeb forcast with Darren “At least it will be mild” Bett was anything to be excited about.
Mainly dry all next week bar some rain on Tuesday with temps between 4-6c. Possibly colder later in week
I think for a lot of television meteorologists the golden rule is to make no predictions lest you be thought a Fish (more fool them) I would love to know their salary for their banal 5 minutes of fame

I have dug out my thermal pants from the back of the drawer to use for my flights next week.. now I just need to remember what I did with the batteries... Dont like icicles on my pants which is what the models are telling me is going to happen.. chilly willy

Just back from a week in the Algarve with my partner and 27c and onshore breeze no problem.
Back in London my partner is permanently sitting under fans and having trouble breathing due to pollution etc etc
And on top of this my mother has chest infection which they are specifically measuring her phelgm for pollutants as the cause
We need to reduce pollutants in the SE.. but we all know that
And seperately : I LOVE THIS WEATHER
Very much one treasure is one poison

Although high temps pose a danger no matter how short the period of hot weather, I do think there is a flaw in the calculations used for these heat health watches. Many people are fine with 30.c or so for 3 or 4 day but if you have weeks on end of high 20s to low 30s, then that has quite a cumulative effect on sleep quality, dehydration levels, appetite etc.
Had tix to BST festival today in Hyde park but I sold them as we are too busy with our flat move. Kind of glad really as don't fancy 8 hours sat in Hyde Park in 31.c
Yes that was a much better explanation of my point thanks.
-
Still around 22c at Heathrow.. My cat doesn't know if coming or going.. My partner suffers from heat and is a disaster.. Best to play more disco
-
I can't believe that we are not in the middle of a public health emergency. I feel like the threshold has been manipulated to save money at the expense of people at risk.. I know everyone on here is respectful of the weather and look out for others..
Feel like a massive cost saving excessive in place as councils don't have the money to activate care plans
Stay safe all

Must be cold for small icicles on the palm in the garden

Have 2" laying snow in Acton at the moment.. 1" from yesterday and 1" of that fell in last hour so happy I got the chance to enjoy that snow burst.
-
Happy snow day in Acton / Ladbroke grove.. see a few hours worth in this wind direction... good day to be working from home but boiler broken of course.. supposed to be getting new one installed this afternoon haha
-
High level radar view (including the Friday low)
-
If anyone interested.. Alongside great radars such as Netweather etc.. On Android I find the App : Weather and Radar - To Be Very Good As You Get the Rain Radar For The Whole Of Europe.. So you can see why Scotland is in for a pasting overnight

Let’s hope something does come off like this! Beast from the east so far to me is a complete farce lol!
Changing the link to 48hr is more interesting for those on the northern bank of the Thames in this thread rather than EA haha (I hope you get as much as possible !)
-
I think the 06z GFS is encouraging for Friday / Saturday all snow event (feeling a little bit more positive than last night, especially for west London) but certainly continues with the theme of the end of cold come Sunday for the South (potentially starting with Ice rain)
** Edit : Current Conditions : there is certainly a more easterly change to the wind direction though it looks like a pretty slack pressure gradient in the south at the moment which probably doesnt help snow chances for the west of our area quite yet
-
Anyone remember the old snow depth battles we used to have on here ??
Considering how many potential days of snow we have in front of us there should be enough to enable a few elimination rounds !
I dont mind helping organise if anyone is interested for next week
