    Morning all, bright and sunny here with last nights frost long gone ‘High Pressure’, ‘Mild’ Air, ‘Settled’ conditions,,,,we haven’t heard words like that in a forecast for a while….it might not necessarily mean wall to wall sunshine and scorching temperatures but dry with sunny spells will do me. Although daytime temperatures are going to be mild clear skies will mean night time temperatures will be low with the risk of frost….but then after all it is only March!

    Can I bank this please .... Sunday could potentially bring some of the highest temperatures of the year so far if we are lucky :-)

    Happy birthday bJay !! So after months of rain it finally looks like we are in for some settled weather.....lighter winds, no rain, sunny spells, temperatures in the low teens – it's certainly going to feel like spring has sprung ! I am very much looking forward to the weekend in the Cotswolds with Mr P - a sunny Sunday will be perfect but just the chance to enjoy some fresh air without getting muddy and soggy will be marvellous :-)

    Morning all, Frosty start here within clear blue sky and sunshine - could we end up with mor frosts this month than we did all winter I wonder !

    Yellow Warning of Ice for London & South East England : Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, Isle of Wight, West Sussex & Surrey Surfaces left wet from Monday's rain will freeze on Tuesday morning to bring the risk of icy stretches on untreated surfaces. The public should be aware of the risk of difficult driving conditions. Issued at: 2150 on Mon 3 Mar 2014 Valid from: 0005 on Tue 4 Mar 2014 Valid to: 0700 on Tue 4 Mar 2014 The low pressure area which brought heavy showers on Monday is moving away, allowing skies to clear and temperatures to drop, making ice likely to form on untreated roads and pavements. Cloud arriving from the west around dawn could bring temperatures above zero again.

    If you hold it it Liverpool and let a couple of softie southerners join you I'll try to get up with Mr P - we have been trying to find an excuse for a weekend up there for ages, Mr P was born there so he's sort of one of you lot (and of course he supports Liverpool FC)

    Shouldn't that be a Pppppppp ...................enguin (or maybe a Puffin) I'll get my (rain) coat.....I left it too late to go out it's pouring now

    My rain alarm has just gone off to tell me that precipitation is 5 miles away... I better drink my coffee and get to Waitrose quick !!

    The latest from ATD.net Met-Office lightning detection shows a red dot across Sussex way as the storms begin to develop... This image from the Netweather subscription radar shows the area of low pressure (L) sitting across southern areas of the UK. This will be throwing showers and longer spells of rain in an anti clockwise direction across the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, central and southern England and central and southern Wales, as indicated by the arrow.....

    A Storm & Convective Forecast was issued this morning at 10:30 THERE IS A RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST Synopsis Cold upper trough/vortex extends eastward from the Atlantic across the UK during Tuesday, with an area of surface low pressure drifting east along the English Channel, with bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms circulating around this low across southern Britain. ... S WALES, S ENGLAND, S MIDLANDS & E ANGLIA ... Steep mid-level lapse rates created by cold upper trough atop moist maritime airmass along with some weak insolation will result in a few 100 j/kg CAPE across southern Britian during Tuesday ... with bands of convection circulating around low drifting east across southern England. Slow-moving heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms accompanied by hail will affect the above areas through the day, becoming aligned into bands which may bring large rainfall totals in places - which may lead to a risk of localised flooding. Overall vertical shear will be rather weak today, however, local breeze convergence under the slack conditions of the shallow surface low may allow funnel clouds or even a brief weak tornado to develop with the more buoyant updrafts in stronger convective cells - particularly over coastal areas. http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=convective%3Bsess%3Dfd6a636d85839e50139d5a2c0b5c00bc I also mentioned it in my early morning post in this thread....

    Yes I saw that last night and posted this.... Hopefully not as bad as anything we have seen in the recent 'winter storms' If anyone missed that C4 programme last week on the storms you can catch up here... http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-storms-that-stole-christmas the next episode 'The Floods That Foiled New Year' is on Thursday 6th @ 21:00hrs

    Morning all, marvellous clear blue sky with just a touch of frost here in MK this morning – there is still a risk of some ice on untreated surfaces so be careful out there !! Yellow Warning of Ice for London & South East England : Oxfordshire & West Berkshire Valid to 0900 Mon 03 Mar http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?regionName=se&from=rss&sn=143BB24F-2575-B9E0-C9F1-8256D7A2AAC7_5_SE&tab=warnings&map=Warnings&zoom=5&lon=-3.50&lat=55.50&fcTime=1393804800 Low pressure is tracking very close to Southern England through the course of today bringing with it the increasing risk of heavy showers, these will merge in spiralling bands of more organised heavy rain at times. There is a slight risk of thunderstorms today but the main risk will be the heavy and potentially torrential rain that will fall during these showers which after the recent very wet weather and the high water table will cause surface water flooding. Have a lovely Monday

    More high tides and coastal flooding risks into Monday morning ... http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/3days/125305.aspx Big waves in Cornwall again.... http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Biggest-waves-world-hit-Cornwall-Monday/story-20738313-detail/story.html

    According to the MM convective forecast severe storms are very unlikely to develop due to a weak jet-stream and kinematic environment, but there is a risk of scattered thunderstorms and heavy showers during Monday. The main risk will be across Southern England, South West England, parts of Wales and the Midlands during the afternoon. A combination of very low geo-potential thickness, colder air aloft and warmer mid levels will steepen lapse rates and this added to a few impulses of energy associated with an area of low pressure, will produce ideal conditions for a scattered heavy showers and a few pulse thunderstorms. The main risk will be heavy downpours which will lead to the risk of surface water flooding; secondary risks will be hail, locally gusty winds and lightning.

    Yellow Warning of Rain for London & South East England : Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, West Berkshire, West Sussex, Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, Surrey, Bracknell Forest, Wokingham, Oxfordshire, Reading, Windsor and Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire & Slough Heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms with hail will affect southern parts of England and Wales during Sunday night and Monday. Some of the showers will become aligned into bands producing longer spells of rain, with some snow possible over the higher ground of southwest England and south Wales. The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to travel, primarily from localised surface water flooding. Issued at: 1530 on Sun 2 Mar 2014 Valid from: 0200 on Mon 3 Mar 2014 Valid to: 1800 on Mon 3 Mar 2014 An area of low pressure will move southeast across southwest England during Monday morning, then eastwards towards the Isle of Wight in the afternoon. Bands of heavy showers, some with hail and thunder will develop in the circulation of the low, leading to some locally large rainfall totals (20-30 mm), whilst other places will see relatively small amounts of rain. The air will be cold enough for rain to turn to snow over the hills of southwest England and south Wales during Monday morning with some temporary accumulations of snow possible above 300-400 metres.

    The latest low pressure system and its associated frontal system bringing rain and wind spreading eastward through the UK, this will be nowhere near as stormy as what we’ve been getting….. ........ there are no signs of any significant cold or snow, in fact conditions should turn much milder and more settled for this region later next week

    Have you got a carvery near you ? .....it might be a quicker alternative to the pub if you go after the lunchtime rush is over - the Toby one here you can get a carry out and eat it at home ! Just trying to decide what to have to last me until the roast lamb tonight.....I thought I could manage on just coffee all day but the fresh air and exercise has made me hungry
  20. Snowangel-MK
    I think we might as well abandon this thread now tbh - thank you to Tom and Chris for all your hard work setting up what had the potential to be a great competition if only the weather had played snowballs with us ! Here is to winter 2014/2015 lets hope it delivers what this one couldn't Get your souvenir T-shirts here..... www. shop.dailyexpress. co. uk/lifestyle/fashion/clothes

    It's taken a couple of strong black coffee's and a walk in the fresh air to get me properly awake this morning.... I must have slept like a log !! Anyone want to buy a T-shirt.... ....I know where there are some going cheap www. shop.dailyexpress. co. uk/lifestyle/fashion/clothes

    Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby was a Swedish-U.S. meteorologist who first explained the large-scale motions of the atmosphere in terms of fluid mechanics. Atmospheric Rossby waves describe the large scale meanders in the jet stream and are due to the variation in the Coriolis force as air moves north and south. The waves were first identified 1939 by Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby and are fundamental to understanding the global circulation and its natural variability. It has been known for some time that variations in tropical heating associated with anomalous rainfall acts as a source of Rossby waves. Furthermore, theory says that Rossby waves can only propagate where the ambient flow is westerly. This is why the westerly duct in the tropical East Pacific is critical in bringing wave energy into the deep tropics where it can activate weather systems and feed the Atlantic jet as described in this paper. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pdf/n/i/Recent_Storms_Briefing_Final_07023.pdf

    in this region ? I very much doubt it ....and really would you want to now - I've got to the point of no return with winter and will happily move on to warmer and drier stuff - thoughts of BBQ's and days out in the sunshine are filling my head
  24. Snowangel-MK
    here it is..... http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/79592-south-east-england-east-anglia-regional-weather-discussion-010314/ locking this one up now and hopefully that's it for all the nasty stuff that winter has thrown at us

    Here we are ....a nice new 'spring clean' thread (as it's officially Spring in Meteorological terms) there are a few definitions of when Spring officially begins the Solar Spring actually began about a month ago (not that you would have noticed really). The Solar seasons are determined by the length of daylight hours. Here in the UK our shortest days are between November and January, and this is classed as the Solar Winter - hence the Solar Spring begins in February. The Astronomical seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth on it's axis. The Astronomical Spring begins on the Vernal Equinox which is the moment when the angle of the Earth's axis is neither inclined away from or towards the sun. This year the Vernal Equinox occurs on the 20th March in the Northern Hemisphere. The Meteorological seasons are the four commonly known seasons that we all know - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The Meteorological seasons are simply based upon temperature, with Winter typically being the coldest time of year and Summer the warmest. The 12 months of the year are split into 3 month seasons so given that the coldest weather here in the UK typically occurs between December and February this is classed as the Meteorological Winter. This ended yesterday meaning that Spring starts today - the 1st March and unlike this thread will last until the Meteorological Summer begins on the 1st June! So as we are mainly here to discuss the weather in this region (with some other humorous, informative and chatty posts thrown in for good measure) tell us about your local conditions and how you plan to make the most of this (hopefully) more user friendly time of year....
