Been a lovely day, beer gardens full, park near by is busy, ice cream truck doing a lot of trade. You must be very very unlucky.
Very Very Unlucky Markyo
and again today after a few hours of sun this morning here comes the rain
I wouldn’t rate this summer at all as I’m still waiting for it to start, ok we had 2 1/2 half weeks of glorious weather in June but since then we haven’t had 2 consecutively sunny days.
Total Crap Really..

Aerosols can be from natural causes too.
Sorry, yes meant to say Aerosols and Particulate’s from Human activities

So now I think we have seen an over-reaction, we think we have the a ability and right to try and alter nature, in doing so we have cleaned the air too much, as we see with the shipping aerosols. In trying to make sure every single human survives in reducing pollution, soot particles etc we are perhaps lessing the likelihood that humans as a whole will survive.
In my view it was an experiment that started with the clean air acts in the 50s, coupled with the advent of the jet engine, and later a continued obsession to remove every last aerosol from the atmosphere. There is also the rather blinkered view that we must only concentrate on CO² as if it's the solution to all the problems, the atmosphere is a massively complex and chaotic system and I don't think we have come close to understanding even half of it, the same with the oceans.
Cleaned the air too much ? Surely those aerosols were put there by human activity.

Especially those in the Congo we need them to dig out the cobalt
It seems humanity struggles to do anything without having a destructive effect on the Natural Enviroment and Biodiversity

im all for a greener world..but we are not there yet..see all the big trucks and dumpers in the picture?? they cannot with todays tech run on batteries ..neither can containers ships or any ships or planes etc which pollute and add way more emissions than cars ..if you took all the cars off the road tomorrow oil consumption would only fall by 10%..if you converted all cars to EV you would need to double the capacity of the current grid which wont happen tomorrow ..i always thought Hydrogen fuel cells were the future or even liquid hydrogen powered vehicles ..we are long way from a decarbonized world..unfortunately poor people in the third world who are scratching out a living dont give a sheet about climate change they just care about getting to the end of the day and putting food on the table
ironically it’s the poor of the third world who have contributed the least to ACC yet are likely to suffer the worst effects in the short to medium term..

Incredibly inaccurate snow depth chart from GFS (current time ) anyone got these depths in these areas ? Welsh hills perhaps
others look way off
Where I am in Pensford we had 7cm at midday before the snow turned to rain, down to about 3cm in a rapid thaw

One thing I have noticed this January is how filthy everyone’s car is, not sure if that’s to do with the lack of rain or people can’t be bothered cleaning them!
It’s the rock salt they spread on the roads when there’s any danger of a frost, useful when wet surfaces freeze but totally useless when it’s been as dry as it has lately, I’m surprised the environmental lobby haven’t jumped on its use as it’s terrible for the environment

Umm the precip is going into france? And there is no pivot? This could be a massive bust for the people in the amber zone? Meanwhile in the NE we have our first few flakes!
Well I’m glad to say it didn’t go Bust, this is best snowfall I’ve witnessed in Pensford since 2009 and it keeps on coming
20cm perched on the fence over 20 on the patio

Long time lurker here,
Usually to be found at home in Pensford north Somerset but had to get away from the endless grey sky's,
Lucky enough to fly down to the Caribbean on Monday and was gobsmacked to find total cloud cover from Anglesey until well southwest of the Bahamas!!!! Thats 3500 plus nautical miles without even a tiny break in the clouds,and i was looking!! is that unusual?? The last five hundred miles before the cloud broke, they were solid to 40000' that seems like one hell of a cauldron of convection.
Hopefully the monotony will break soon but im not holding my breath....
