Can I also congratulate T.M for 50yrs of detailed weather observations today, and long may it continue ! It is his detailed observations that influenced me to start recording myself a few years ago.

Yes im one of them to, in winter im up all hours for the latest forecasts which the other half used to find amusing, the joke has worn a little thin now...

That the earth is warming, an explanation of why the warming has slowed, and new links to solar activity maybe ?
And last but not least, they are more confident of humans coursing the warming.

Yes Pit, in Sheffield myself today at the Hallamshire hospital where i have a lovely view of the City from the top floor, with blue skys and just the odd cloud and contrail. Not long now and i should be back in the hills...

Just like the papers... Its the headlines that sell them. Madden is clearly in it for the money.
And he is also a lorry driver i think.

Yes Kiwi, a big leap forward and much clearer on the eye. I just hope more people use this information before heading for the hill's this winter, not long now before the ice returns, i can't wait, Crampons at the ready !

Changes have been made to the Mountain Area Forecast from the Met Office, to make the online service more user friendly. There are some small but worthwhile improvements.
The recent tweaks are based on feedback from a consultation with users. From this the Met Office identified two distinct sets of users, they tell us, so their updates are based on the needs of both casual general walkers and rescue services/mountain pros (which category seems to include all climbers and proper hillwalkers, from what we can establish).
The changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary:
- The mountain service has now been integrated with the Met Office's national severe weather warnings. New graphics on the homepage make the link more explicit between a given forecast area and any weather hazard warnings that have been issued for that area.
- Forecasts are more easily printable, so that walkers can take them on the hill and accommodation providers and outdoor shops can post copies up.
- The pages are now more effective when viewed on a tablet or smartphone too, for easy checking when you're on the go. Great if you're out for several days (assuming there's internet coverage).
- Forecasts are still issued twice daily, but now the forecast period is 24 hours. Previously it only covered the hours of daylight. That's good news for rescue teams, wild campers or anyone doing a 24-hour challenge.
- From the mountain forecast pages you can access individual summit forecasts for over 500 UK hills.
- There's a bunch of notes and videos on mountain safety.
- Clear(ish) link to the Scottish Avalanche Information Service (SAIS).
Now if they can just guarantee dry mountain rock til November, followed by a six-month deep freeze...

Have you thought about buying one of them thermal seat liners, they work wonders...

QUIET SUNSPOTS: Near the center of the solar disk, growing sunspot AR1850 directly faces Earth. However, like all the other spots on the sun today, AR1850 is quiet and not flaring. The chance of a geoeffective flare today is low. http://www.spaceweather.com/

So Corbyn might actually be onto something?
Corbyn is on everything... so he's never wrong
Anyway here's link from the other thread..
Studies by several scientists show low solar activity can actually be linked to harsh winter in the United States and northern Europe.
Studies find temperature and pressure patterns associated with low solar activity resemble the negative phases of NAO or North Atlantic Oscillation which can bring brutal cold air from northern Canada into the United States.
A survey done by NASA in 2001 found that during the 17 th century also known as the “ Maunder Minimum†brutal cold air was found from the Northeastern USA into Europe.
Other research finds a weaker polar vortex can be found displaced from pushed further south near the United States bordering bringing cold air into the eastern United States and Europe.

Global warming has not stopped - it's just on a 'hiatus' and likely to return with ever more heatwaves, droughts, floods and rising sea levels - according to a draft report from leading scientists.
The 127-page United Nations report, and a shorter summary for policymakers due for release in Stockholm on September 27, suggests a slowdown in Earth's rising temperature can be explained by volcanic ash and a cyclical dip in energy emitted from the sun.
While likely to attract opposition from sceptics - who say climate change is not man-made - the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is likely to stand by the bold claims as the body attempts to salvage its reputation following the publication of its last report in 2007.
In that report, scientists erroneously claimed the Himalayas would melt by 2035.

QUIET SUN: Today is another day that seems more like Solar Min than Solar Max. All of the sunspots on the Earthside of the sun are quiet, and solar activity is low. http://www.spaceweather.com/

Water on Mars: Curiosity Rover Uncovers a Flood of Evidence
The Curiosity rover investigated an area on Mars named Hottah, which appears to be part of an ancient riverbed.
Credit: Malin Space Science SystemsLONDON — Water, water everywhere, and some of it fit to drink.
That’s the picture of ancient Mars that has emerged during the past few months thanks to discoveries by NASA's Curiosity rover, which has been exploring the Red Planet since touching down inside Gale Crater in August 2012.
The announcements have come in dribs and drabs, but presented together recently here at the European Planetary Science Congress, they provide compelling evidence that Mars was quite wet in the distant past. [The Search for Water on Mars (Photos)]

A theory not fact. Just another excuse from the warmest lobby.
Science... Which is forever expanding our knowledge.

Stephen Hawking says that it's theoretically possible to copy brain on to computer to provide life after death, but that the idea of a conventional afterlife is a fairy tale.

Could this be how nature intended...?

If he works out hard enough, he may be able to offset his emissions...?
