  1. The way it's looking, the second half of spring will be colder than the first. Especially if the forecast cold nights come off as forecast.
  2. Hit a high of 22.4C here today. Lovely jubbly. Clouding over now and cooling down too. 17.9C at present.
  3. No, I don't. I'm a convective weather fan. Let's get some people out of NSC, even if N'ly based convection is weaker than the summer S'ly counterpart. Plus we've been under a mainly HP dominated regime for months and months and months. Today is lovely and the warmth feels good, but let's have some actual weather
  4. My only wish is if it is going to turn cold from the N, the HP out west doesn't interfere too much. That way we can get more in the way of an unstable N'ly and set off some convection. -6 uppers and some strong solar input could produce some nice skies.
  5. I always do my best to get rid of queen wasps when I see them. Squished pretty much straight away. To be honest, I can't believe there are people that let them go about their business, they are a pest nothing more nothing less.
  6. As requested by @Dami, a new thread for the new convective season. Reckon I'll be spending a bit of time in here
  7. Just a note- the ECM is just as severe as GFS has been showing. It doesn't matter as it's shown at day 10 but pressure is rising up towards Greenland. Day 11 would show us at the mercy of Scandi troughing and N Atlantic/Greenland heights. If we're to get a N'ly I just hope we get as clean a one as possible so that we get to see some great convective cloudscapes like at the end of April last year.
  8. Absolutely lashed it down here around 10ish. Wondered where it had come from as the road became a river!
  9. Nooooooo Hammond will be a sore miss IMO...one of the better presenters for sure.
  10. Brilliant day of weather that was. Hail, sleet, snow, thunder and some brilliant cloudscapes. As a weather enthusiast I have absolutely no idea how you could turn your nose up at a day such as that was.
  11. Maybe a lot of people realise what has tended to follow settled/warm March and Aprils in recent years! One does get the impression we're going to face an extended spell of very wet weather at some point after this repeating Azores HP led pattern which has been in control for months and months. I just hope it breaks over the summer/autumn rather than ruining another winter next year!
  12. Do you know how NWP works? We have seen such wintry spells in March before...we have historical evidence...some of such from just 4 years ago. This allied to the fact a solid maths based model can churn out such scenarios is proof enough for me. Don't know what else you require? You're arguing over nothing and to pick him up on something so trivial was just pointless.
  13. Anything that is shown within the NWP is theoretically possible, regardless of the timeframes involved. So yes, it's proof that the back end of March can deliver wintry conditions (with uppers comparable to Dec 2010). Don't know why you have tried to show him up there?
  14. Remember late April last year? That day of the Arctic plunge produced one of the best days of weather in my weather memory. It had everything- hail, sleet, snow, thunder and some beautiful cloudscapes. We've had months and months now of a mainly HP dominated weather pattern. Time for a change now.
  15. Ends with a beautiful Arctic plunge bringing snow bearing uppers Would be interesting to get something like this...just think of the convective landscapes.
  16. In spring, settled and warm is fine by me. In summer however, I just love those bands of torrential convective rain and when slack LP parks over the country promoting homegrown 'power showers' and thunderstorms. Can't beat it.
  17. Quite enjoying seeing the HP in the outlook TBH along with some pleasant warmth...if recent years are anything to go by, this should mean that summer goes wet style- which I certainly would not grumble at. However, I still have a sneaking suspicion that this will be a very warm, dry summer.
  18. Yes, just seen this https://www.quora.com/Are-people-with-dark-colored-eyes-more-sensitive-to-light-than-those-with-lighter-colored-eyes Funny as I'd always presumed my ultra dark eyes were the reason. I sometimes have to close my eyes completely when out in areas which reflect a lot of light e.g white painted buildings etc. It's quite uncomfortable really.
  19. Blue eyes handle sunlight better though. I can barely open my eyes in high summer on sunny days because of the bright sunlight...I'm forever squinting. My eyes are bordering on black they're that dark brown, so absorb more light.
  20. This. TBH i'd be all in favour of moving the clocks forward a couple of hours so that it doesn't get light until 5am at the earliest. No need for it to be light at 4am around the solstice. I'd quite happily take midnight light over (very) early morning light!
  21. Snow is snow whatever the time of year...I'll take whatever I can get whenever I can get it given the past few years... The 18z GFS looks to try to promote Greenland heights but heights remain too stubborn to our S
  22. Aye, Wilmslow now up 1C in temp and DP in the last hour as winds increase from SW
  23. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I had a decent fall of snow here. Possibly Jan 2013?
