a high to the west or northwest would actually cut of the atlantic! hense the reasons i am going for a very cold and mainly dry december. lol also as to the jetstream it is peaking right now as we speak but you watch it die in the coming weeks,by november time i suspect that the majority of our weather will either be from a north/northeast or east direction. that is just my opinion.

mm very interesting.i do feel that the weather will quiet down an awful lot by sort of mid october time.and the winter will be influenced by high pressure a lot of the time,but as somone just mentioned it all depends where it decides to plant its self for example you dont want it to the the south of the uk,but towards the northwest allowing bitter cold easterly winds to come in!

well you do have a good point there sir. but you shud listen to me lol i wont be far wrong then you will say oh he was good haha! but i also hav some things which may go with my forecast too i.e... low solar activity and the fact that the jet stream is well south and apparently weakening all the time.

i will start with NOVEMBER not technically a winter month but hey- it will begin on a quite wet and chilly note with light east to southeasterly winds,occasionally stronger so feeling somewhat RAW at times!.at this stage i expect precipitaction to mainly of plain rain but as time goes on turning increasingly wintery overall! TEMPERATURES-ranging from 6-10 in the south.more like 8- 11 further north now the fun begins i feel with the month of DECEMBER! basically what we will see in december is a lot of dry but rather cold weather,due to high pressure being situated to the northwest of the uk. therefore an influence of cold north/northeast winds dominating the month as a whole,freezing cold at nightime most days and not much warmer during the daytime.generally a quiet month but dont be falled because you will certainly feel the chill!! TEMPERATURES-averaging 2-4 c in the south.in the north 1-3 this is a tricky one JANUARY. i believe that it will follow on from december with the same pattern predominantly dry if very cold! temperatures by day 0-2 c quite frequently and widely down to -8 to -12 at nightime! but as we end the month of january i think the weather becomes more active as fronts start to develop and come across us.this will preduce large amounts of snow particuarly in the south. TEMPERATURES averaging similar values to december perhaps a lil lower,more like 1-2 c in the south.barely above freezing in the north throughout! so to conclude all of that this winter will be very cold with exceptionally low temperatures,the coldest part most likely being around mid january time and into february when things will be terribly bad. so on all of that basis i expect this winter to be colder then last year but probably not as snowy! thanks.

i personally believe that this christams will be chilly.not cold perhaps an early frost! in a light southeasterly flow!
