[Tragic Breaking News!]

Absolutely stunned and shocked.. storm chasing has lost it's innocence. What a tragedy! 

[Welcome To Jo Farrow - Our New Forecaster]

Welcome to NetWeather.tv Jo! I'm based in Fife, so it's great to have some more Scottish representation on NetWeather. :-)  You may see the NetWeather logo'ed mobile weather lab beetling around Scotland from time to time too.

 

Cheers,

Graham

[Model Output Discussion]

Hi all, Nick Finnis (senior forecast for netweather) has put together what he hopes will be the first of a regular video with an in depth look at the upcoming week and beyond over on the community channel:

I really enjoyed Nick's presentation and in particular, his reference to the charts.. this is definitely a great way to learn by seeing and experiencing the unfolding weather with reference to the model output. Finally a weather forecast for those that want to understand, rather than be spoon fed! :lol: Really looking forward to the next instalment!

[Rotating Updraft - Gloucestershire]

I didnt have my tripod with me unfortunately so I had to rest it on the railings above the motorway :S I did it over the central reservation just incase I did knock the camera off lol

Ive got my heart set on a job up in Scotland actually, find out if ive got an interview in the next couple of weeks so it may be that ill be up there with you getting jealous of those southeasterners and their semi continental climate

Thanks for the kind comments!

You've done a great job of keeping it steady on the railings!! Very resourceful of you!

Good luck with the interview too, hope it works out for you. I love living up here (I wan ex-pat Aussie by upbringing) and what we miss out on in storms, we get with highland scenery. :)

Cheers,

Graham

[Rotating Updraft - Gloucestershire]

Wow, brilliant videos.. really interesting to see the rotation so clearly. You did a good job to steady the camera. Were you shooting from a tripod, or did you manage to find something to lean on? The 4 x speed makes all the difference too. Thanks for sharing the videos, hoping to do my first run of storm-spotting this year (not that we get very many up this way )

[Rotating Updraft - Gloucestershire]

Sounds really interesting Joey, looking forward to seeing the vid!!

[Sunday's Low]

It really is quite frightening watching these windspeeds:

This station is at Les Portes en Ré

The graphs further down the above web-page show the approaching low and the frightening wind-speeds that have accompanied it. I'm not sure if this station is still updating, as the WeatherDisplay Live timestamp now seems stuck at 02:06am.

[Last Time You Recorded Double Digit Temps]

I need to go back to November to see any double digit temps from my station in Fife! The closest we came since teh start of December was 9.9 °C on Jan 27 at 13:10.

[Cold Spell Discussion]

It's been an odd mix during the past 36 hours in Fife. Fairly reasonable snowfall yesterday (around 7-8 centimetres) turing to sleet by late afternoon and continuing to fall as sleet overnight, as temperatures rose. The temps have been on the up again since sunrise today and have only just peaked at 4.4°C. Interesting to see the temps go up after sundown yesterday and the drop again in the early hours of this morning:
