But then Falmouth is not universal is it. Not all Devon has been affected so why not report on that as well without getting slammed for it

To be fair to Laserguy though he's reporting for his area and it's probably true what he's experiencing in his area. I'm in Southampton at the moment and its a bit gusty, no rain and if I hadn't been on here or read Metoffice warnings, would have just assumed it was a normal windy/showery day that you associate winter with.

A 40 ft wave would probably break in water approx 50-55 ft deep, so way past paddling area !

That is quite awesome - Used to do a lot of surfing in my youth, but jeez thats way out of my comfort zone. Maybe worth a trip down on saturday to have a look but minus board lol

Pretty exciting period of weather coming up for next week yet again. This is turning out to be quite a memorable winter albeit not for the usual (snow) reasons -

In Southampton at the moment and according to the radar it should be raining moderately here, but just light drizzle. Think this could be over hyped as a rainfest- 1,255 replies

Winter weather is associated with cold and hopefully snow and I'd say a large majority would like it cold and dry - Likewise in the summer the thread is normally filled with people looking for warm sunny weather and anyone looking for cool/ wet usually gets a few brickbats thrown at them -

Can never understand these forecasters who whenever they get asked about the coming week they cite that there are more pressing concerns re the rain this weekend. Err what are these guys doing - manning the flood barriers themselves or what. I think everyone knows there will be a lot of rain coming up and all the relevant authorities have been notified and warnings issued, so always seems to me to be a an odd phrase which is wheeled out every time we have a lot of rain forecast -

According to Darren Bett, a cold snap at the beginning of the week lasting a few days only, then milder at towards end of week. Woohoo...not. Have a feeling there could be some severe backtracking from the models tonight, so could get ugly in there -

Checking the BBC weather for London has a max temp of anything from -1 to +10 ! presume that shows that the block could still hold till weekend, but thats one heck of a spread -

I'm not so sure, but must admit surprised at how bullish they were on a westerly zonal return by end of next week. Reckon the next update will still repeat that but put it back a few days..interesting times for sure -

Gibby this, Gibby that on the Mod thread - leave the guy alone. Seems to happen every winter when his interpretation doesn't match coldies expectations. Funny thing is he'll probably be correct ! -

The inference was on signs and certainly there appear to be signs of a posssible warming
