i will be supprised if we get any more than a slight splash, i honestly cant remember the last time i actually saw any ppn fall from the sky here! that includes last winter too! this has to be the dryest place in the country, or certainly one of thee..

that does sound fimilliar actually, as the same happened to me a couple of times several years ago, due to the amount of rubbish available, people identifying incorrectly and simply making things up for whatever reasons. But if you continue to look until you find the genuine cases, you will come to a different conclusion. although, im sure there are still some people that would refuse to believe even if a craft landed in their garden, an alien got out and poked them in the eye!.

weather ship, i have to admit, i have visited the site on a few occasions over the years. And i would say that much of mr felixs theorys are utter tosh, such as oil being a result of carbon falling out the sky! Etc. But, that doesnt mean its all rubbish.. weather ship, i have to admit, i have visited the site on a few occasions over the years.

also people may want to take a look at the correlation between the earths magnetic field and global temps over a large timescale. At the end of the day though, its no good just looking at recemt temps, like the last few hundred or thousand years, one needs to look at the last million years, and when you do, there are clear cycles. The earth has been cooler and warmer than it is now, many times. We are at, or very near the end of a warm period, heading into both a small, and large ice age. Humans will have no, or very little effect on this. The natural state of the planet is much colder than it is now. Is there much evidence of a upcoming ice age? Plenty, if u are willing to look at the earths hirtory past the last 150 years.

anyone think the huge amount of underwater active volcanoes in the arctic ocean has something to do with the natural temp fluctuations? Having a global effect on sea temps, ice and co2 being released by the oceams

yes, sounds like an earthquake accompanied by the typical 'earthquake lights' phenomena. theese have been reported accompanying earthquakes for many years, lasting from seconds to sometimes minutes at a time, and sometimes similar in look and colour to the aroura boriallis (or however you spell that..). there are a few theorys on the cause, but none are confirmed due to the obvious difficulty in testing them. if my memory serves me though, i think there was a recent study into them but i dont know by who.

after having my post deleted yesturday (probably quite rightly after realising that it was actually a bit rude) i thought i would try again.. in my experiance this subject is usually not treated with the seriousness that it actually deserves, this is proven by the comments of some members of this forum and their posts within this thread. now i understand that everyone has a right to beleive what they want, but, please, could i ask those who comment on the subjet to please do some proper research before saying things like all ufo's can be explained away by the usual things such as chinese lanterns and the planet venus or people just seeking attention. sure, most can be explained away due to these reasons, but a suprisingly large percentage cannot (for example, the actual data gathered by project bluebook by the americans which was originally ordered by the u.s govmnt. to prove all ufo's as explainable, actually, when the data is analyzed comes to an astonishing 33% (even though they published this to be a figure of 0%)). if i were to post info in the forecasting thread that was wrong due to me not doing my research, i would quickly get slated, so please, can people look into the subject SERIOUSLY (and that doesnt mean watching a bunch of youtube videos of a few lights in the sky) before they accuse actual experiancers of being attention seekers. a few starting points for those who wish to learn more: the paracast (serious podcast and excellent resource for a no-nonsence scientific look at the ufo subjetc, i strongly reccomend this as a starting point (start at ep1) . just a few genuine ufo cases one may wish to look at: O'hare incident (airport ufo) pheonix lights (huge craft witnessed by thousands) rendelsham forest incident (just down the road from me incidentally) channel island ufo (another huge craft witnessed by experianced pilot and passengers) i can quite confidentally say after 15 years in the subject the question is not 'do they exist', it is actually 'where do they come from'. i can also say that even the most hardened skeptic will come to the same conclusion after taking a serious look at the subject. by the way, i have never witnessed one, i have just looked at the evidence (and there really is Evidence, hard evidence in some cases), so please people, dont be fooled by the somewhat controlled media, and the lying governments (and im not a conspiracy theorist, when have you known the governmets to actually be truthfull? most dont beleive them at the best of times, but for some reason we all beleive them when the say they know nothing of ufo's (although to be fair, most govmts. do actually gather stacks of data on them and admit doing so (as does ours, look up nick pope for conformation of this))). sorry for the rant , just trying to open up some closed minds..

im betting sea temps will keep any ppn as rain near the coast including imby.

so, whos betting if we get a few flurries, they get no further north than ipswich!

amazing how when it warms up the dry zone is no longer dry.

anyone see the film the core? earths magnetic field? not sure if it could cause death whilst in flight though..

hi, i dont really have the answer you are looking for, but i use raintoday.co.uk on my htc desire z, using the dolphin hd browser with flash installed.. works well..

still nothing here, drizzle on and off all day, now no ppn at all. Â looking like ill miss out on fri aswell as will be south yet again. am i the only member of the no snow club left!!! ???? Â

ive read on here that they do issue one to 'insiders' Â and various others.. they have predicted temps to be below average this winter, not sure if that is a good or bad thing though!

This is a real shame, he has true enthusiasm for the subject he forecasts, i am quite sad now   If you ever read this Rob: WE ALL MISS YOU, BUT WE'LL  NEVER FORGET YOU !! Â

What makes you think they would care whether we saw them or not? Â If we see ants on the ground, Â do we avoid stepping on them? Â There are many genuine accounts of multiple witness sightings where craft are seen, and many accounts where the craft are only seen for a certain amount of time, then to fade out or instantly dissapear. When thousands of people (Venezuela 1970's (also witnessed by the prince and colleagues at the time, headline news in all the local papers)) witness a huge physical craft estimated to be 1000 meters long, of which three glowing disc craft emerge from underneath, circle the large craft causing them all to fade out, it gets hard to keep kidding yourself that we are the most advanced civilisation in the universe. If people actually do some serious research on the subject they would find out there is absolutely no question that we are not alone. Â i have never seen a craft i could not identify, but i have also never seen the sea of tranquility, Â Â but i know it exists.

Yes you are right TWS, a little too far west for a non-potent easterly, too far east for any real frontal snow, too far south for a good northerly, and too far north for any channel low's! Â Â i was living 10 miles east of here (Weybread (where i spent my life growing up)) just a couple of years ago and they got 5-6 inches 6 -7 months ago (with some nice drifting too in places) which is the most there since the very early ninetys, just my luck!

i dont look for snow anymore as i just get soooo dissapointed year after year watching it fall in every area of the country other than here in Diss (being on the east coast one would expect to see plenty but it is ALWAYS just n/s/e/ or west of here sadly for me), especially after the last 2-3 years and getting no more than just 1 inch at any one time, which is no different from the last 20 poor years.. Â Â And the relentless dryness and constant heat during the summer (which is always reserved just for the SE and EA), im sick of it. Â Im going to move to Iceland. Â Â Winge winge winge.. seeing as the current setup seems to be stuck in a rut and has been for around three years now (solar min affecting jet stream amongst other things... Â ooh controversial) , Â (i even heard good old Rob on the BBC forecast mention how the pattern of late is remenissant of the 70s), Â i would make a good uneducated guess at this winter being similar to the last few, i.e very dry and cold in the SE and EA with little snow (accept of course Kent which always somehow gets a dumping), while the rest of the country gets all the excitement.

J-Me, Â Â your shelf cloud picture posted earlier seems to contain a ufo, if you zoom in it seems to be a saucer shape! Â with a strange ring around it..

Physics, technology, ufos, 911 theorys, lots of excellent vids: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=AlienScientist#g/a

There are quite a few good videos out there now showing possible alien spacecraft or man made craft if one sifts through all the rubbish, of which, 99% is. After researching the subject for quite a few years now i would guess at figures of about 95% explainable phenomana (such as comets/meteors, cloud formations, ball lightning or similar, lanterns etc.), 4% top secret man made craft (such as the old stealth aircraft, aurora craft, and more modern triangular shaped craft using anti-gravity technology which DOES exist and has done for many years now (see nikola testla, T.T Brown, or more recently john hutchinson amongst others including german scientists captured during the war working on experiments such as the 'Bell' and taken to the US to work on similar technology etc.) and finally 1% genuine craft from other worlds (such as the infamous Roswell (and no it wasnt a balloon or a dummy, although there is actually a very small possibility it was a man made craft), the rendelsham forest incident in U.K, betty and barney abduction case - oooh thats putting my neck on the line!, and many others). Also, interestingly, sightings go back way further than just the last 50 years. if one actually looks at the subject seriously, which seems to be very difficult for some people still these days, you would find that it is not a case of 'do aliens really exist?' There are 9 planet in our solar system, over 100,000,000 stars in our galaxy, over 100,000,000 galaxies in the known universe. I think the numbers speak for themselvs. rant over. everyone will think im mad now. :wacko:

im certainly no expert on the subject and have only been following sunspot activity for a few years now, so I have not had the experience of watching a new cycle form. But I would guess that at the start there would be a few spots, then a lull, then a few more, then a lull, and so on, until solar max is reached. This does seem to be what is happening here, such as the period of activity around july last year onwards, then there was a dip, then an increase around the start of the year, which has lasted a bit longer, now another dip, so I fully expect another period of activity to start again reasonably soon which will last a little longer than the previous one, and so on. Although it is very possible that I am wrong and we have just witnessed cycle 24s max, meaning that this cycle would be very short, which I think would be unusual for a cycle with a low number of sunspots as strong cycle = short cycle, weak cycle = long cycle, based on past data anyway. personally I expect the cycle to peak around 2013 as expected with the average number of spots around 40-50 which is very low, and as many of the current day spots being counted whereas in the past they may not have, this number could be classed as being even lower, possibly very simmilar to the dalton/maunder minimums of past. So, does this mean, based on recent papers such as the study by livingstone and penn, and the more recent study (i forget by who?), that we will see a number of very low cycles (probably at liest around 3), causing the jet stream to be pushed south of us on average? (and we all know what that means!) personally, I think there is already strong evidence of this happening and I fully expect it to continue. 1947 here we come!

yet the ipcc think they can predict the global climate for the next 50 years!

bet i only get rain here in south norfolk. as usual.

anyone make a guess as to how far eastwards that ppn in the north sea will get tonight?
