doubtful, just hurricane igor churning up the surface waters. if you look at the sst's the atlantic seems to be cooling quite rapidly

lol i think i'd rather fall over!

i never really considered buying ice cleats or shoe chains etc... i just bought a 4x4!

currently 14.1degC outside, 1243degC in the living room.... i better call the fire brigade

our house gets warm in the summer and cold in the winter. however i usually find i can offset this temperature difference if i put the heating on

where did you find this forecast?

ive got one of these for winter

currently 16 degC here, nearest thing we'll get to a frost in the morning is a bowl of frosties!

what does anyone think of the met office view?, considering everyone else is predicting a cold snap for this period! UK Outlook for Wednesday 29 Sep 2010 to Wednesday 13 Oct 2010: It should remain fairly unsettled across many parts of the country during the latter part of September and into the beginning of October, with rain or showers at times but also some drier and brighter periods. It will also likely to be rather windy, especially in exposed areas. The rain is most likely to affect western Scotland, Northern Ireland and northwest England, with perhaps the best chance of any drier conditions towards southern and eastern England. Temperatures should be, on the whole, above normal for the time of year across the country.

th 200m charts are actually irrelevent. the gulf stream runs from the surface, ( at which it is fastest and heavily wind influenced) down to around 1600m. if you check the velocity scale at the side of the charts, you will see it is a lot slower than the surface. the fact that you can see more of it, just means the velocities are more consistant at that depth. as someone else posted, it would be nice to have last years charts to compare it to, as it appears to be working fine, but we dont know what it looked like this time last year. time will tell i suppose but its worth keeping an eye on the NOAA site to see how things pan out over the next few months

http://polar.ncep.no...-rundate=latest - check out this link, then enter the run time forecast for july 1st 2010. now i'm no scientist and would love to believe that the story of the gulf stream shutting down was true, however, the gulf stream looks stronger now than it did in july when the uk was getting temps of 30 degrees or more! can anyone explain why this is? oh and change view to see the whole atlantic

hi people, jamo- the article you refer to was published nearly a month BEFORE the oil disaster occurred, this latest story is obviously linked to the oil spill. now dont get me wrong, i always take these stories with a pinch of salt... but it is interesting to say the least and one i will be watching. it may well be scaremongering or a hoax but time will tell i suppose. a good way to find out would be to research the 'scientist ' who originated the story to check his credibility
