    Can we just have an embargo on talking of SSW for a week and see how happy and merry we all are afterwards? Since the over analysation of the 2018 warming we’ve come to believe this is the be all and end all of UK cold spells when most prolonged cold spells in the UK haven’t actually been the consequence of a split PV and wind reversal!

    I wish sometimes SSW did not exist, because soon as it turns mild posts appear proclaiming with out a SSW event winter is over. 

    My opinion is way to much emphasis is placed on them its  just one piece in a 1,000000 and hugely complicated piece jigsaw.

    I think we know it’ll come to nothing, but the icon has a slightly stronger block to the NE at T120 compared to the 12z , with the Atlantic slightly better configured to slide.

    You never know? If a similar pattern change like that does occur at some point. It's possible that it may crop up at shortish range. 

    Worth keeping an 👁 on.

    Not long to go now so enjoy my 2022 weather round up and a bit of me playing cricket (won't do my forecast for now as I'm running out of charge). Happy New Year everyone and here's to a great 2023 hopefully 😀.

     

     

    Great vid thanks. 

    The 40C in July was historic and even though I'm not a heat lover, to experience 40C was the the most epic weather event Ive experienced. Happy New year, here's to -40C and 40inch of snow in  2023 😆

    Well we can see the MOGREPS up to 10 days on TWO but the output will likely go on much longer, there is data from the EC and UKMO that not all the public will have access to. I didn't work at the Met Office itself though so wouldn't know for sure.

    It tells you here

    The Unified Model (UM) is a numerical model of the atmosphere used for both weather and climate applications.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Bog standard mild winter, cold snap in second week of December and it came to nothing.  Nothing on the horizon either if honest the amplified jet due to the activity over the US will just bring us wind and rain, rinse and repeat.  Cant see the MJO even in phase 7 being able to topple the influence of la nina.  very disappointing.

    The cold spell, not snap was far from bog standard a week+ of ice days with night temperatures of -10C at night I  low land England is very cold and probably about once a decade chance of happening on average.

    The first attempt is now guaranteed to be Fizzler (minor warming), however, the secondary warming is coming hot on its heels, it could be we need a few attempts, there's a small cluster on the EC 46 going for a late Jan SSW - analogues for this - 91,09. and 12 - i think anything remotely wintry for South UK gone pretty much for first 2 thirds of Jan but i don't subscribe to the view that Feb is a bust for cold just because its a nina year.

    I'm not signalling you out. But that's a odd aspect of model output. We don't know with any great detail of what the weather will be like in 7 days let alone 7 weeks. But can write of a month+ of winter in one sentence 🤔 . Even in a zonal spell there is still about a 20% chance of cold returning within a 10 day period. If you or anyone could forecast the weather for a month ahead with 50% accuracy you would all be billionaire's.

    Isn't that what I said ?

    After the first week , it is crap end of , you name me a model in the last 10-14 days that could get near the xmas outcome we've just had , it was only within the 120 - 144 range it could pinned down .

    EC 46 will show a mass of blocking one week and drop it the following BUT to repeat is no different to any other model 

    It's not crap at all its your interpretation of the data that is. It's very rare that a data suite will show a very strong signal post 10 days. 

    If your seeing a mass of blocking by looking at a mean chart in the +168 range, and your interpretation of said chart don't come to fruition what's crap? Your view of the model, or the model?? At a basic level it's done by % chance.

    Control at the extreme southern end ref the snow on day 4, a decent event  if that came off.

    Rain/sleet for most.  Buxton for example may see a spell of heavy snow before milder air quickly rushes in from  the south west
