    Rain Radar For Mobiles

    in Help, support and feedback

    Posted

    Are there any plans for rain radar support for mobiles?

    It would be great to have a few frames sent out as a loop for UK regions so I could check for rain when I am out and about with my Smartphone.

    I use the Met Office rain radar on my PDA - it's a little clunky and doesn't loop as such but handy to check.

    See I think this post could be used to highlight some of the problems that are presently being argued over in the Model Output Discussion regarding the north v south debate, or the biased reading of the models to suit where a particular individual is residing.

    Buxton Codge has stated above "WHAT A STUNNING WINTER." In my opinion this statement should be followed with, IN MY AREA.

    Because IN MY AREA it has not been a STUNNING WINTER.

    Well it certainly has here and I'm in Norfolk same as you.

    Error When Trying To Send Feedback

    Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error.

    I get the error above when trying to send a feedback form to you regarding an error on the site.

    My original problem is that when loading netweather.tv I get a brief pause and a flash of an error screen which reads AW SNAP - something went wrong" - can't read any more than that as it is very brief. The site then loads ok but between each page there is a slight pause and it seems that the page is attempting to load, stops and then loads ok. I've encountered the problem on two different pcs - one with IE and one with Firefox.

    It's not stopping me getting onto the site but think you guys ought to be aware that there is an underlying problem

    I have been using a variety of methods to perfect my model forecasting including a prototype weather box. I use traditional model interpretation methods and very untraditional spiritual/radiowaves and think I have perfected the way I do my forecasting to nearly 100% with my prototype.

    Thanks for your support! :D

    Just remember to wrap up warm next week in preparation for Snowmageddon UK style :D

    May the force be with you. 100% eh - that's unlikely. if you are nearly 100% please give us a bit more detail - where, when, how much, temperature wind direction - comments like this need to be backed up with facts.

    Looking at the models it's hard to see how on earth the UKMO came out with their further outlook, it doesn't resemble any operational model output.

    It seems to suggest that the high to the east will extend a ridge westwards and then a low come in from the Atlantic towards the SW. With the block holding to the ne.

    Although the time and date on the UKMO further changes about 12ish each day, I've noticed that the text does not change until about an hour or so later - this may be because the time/date stamp is automated in some way and then they change the text according to the 06z. Slightly OT I know but it is model related - honestly!

    Your Ideal Late Jan-March Weather

    What I'd like to see is weekdays with temperatures in the range -2 at night to +8 daytime with beautiful blue sky and the sun shining for as long as possible. Then it could snow Friday night - back to blue skies on Saturday so I can enjoy the snow, snow again Saturday night, thaw on Sunday night etc. Then we can all enjoy the snow at weekends with lovely cold crisp days during the week but with no snow to stop us getting around

    Well, you did ask!

    Yup very disappointed with what we got up here, nice to be able to get out of the house somewhere today and let the kids play though.

    Not looked at any models today as helpfully internet connection BORKED all day grrrr but i'm thinking this is probably over now for this region with a rapid thaw (it's nearly all gone already anyway)

    Amazingly here on the Wash not far from you we've had a very gentle thaw, still can't see any grass and our little used road outside still has about 3" of snow on it. OT - BT have had broadband problems all over EA today, they said it could be 2 days b4 it's back.

    Back OT I think that's it for us at the moment-can't say I'm unhappy about that-roads have been badly gritted all over Norfolk.

    Well showers are still snow here in Ipswich!

    Anyway, the first point to clear up, we will all see the ppn, there's no doubt about it - let's hope it's snow, as the winds veer more E instead of NE this will help the temps. There is a huge area of ppn heading for us, but its VERY slow.. It won't be here until later today. But when it gets here it will be very slwo moving, so as long as we see snow then this will certainly help with the depths. The clump of ppn to the NE of Norfolk is only a small part of the massive system heading this way - check out NSea radars etc!

    Hi Davie - looking at the dutch radar it's huge but getting smaller all the time. Spending so much time over the see will warm it up as well. wouldn't get your hopes up too much. :)

    I'll no doubt be as popular as a skunk in a very small bag but it has to be said. I've just posted this in the Yorks etc thread as there seems a lack of realism in there also-no doubt in the other regional threads.

    I find some of the comments on this regional thread and the model thread pretty amusing.

    What we have this morning was correctly predicted about 5 days ago. The deep cold going and being replaced by +ve daytime temperatures, slight precip and that of sleet or at best wet snow, frost unlikely after late Saturday evening.

    What have we got-precisely that-so why the consternation?

    I've plotted outputs from Extra and NMM daily and its not done at all badly-it has failed to get the minimum values I've had but other than that its done okay.

    I suggest a closer and more objective look at the models for some people and an acceptance that the various models will show slightly different end solutions. The trick is being objective and plotting a 'middle' path. That way there is less chance of thinking something is going to happen when the reality is its not going to.

    As to what is likely through the latter end of the week then its not going to get mild anywhere other than the far SW. Will the cold return, whatever that means. If you mean the bitter cold with -12C 850's, then that currently looks unlikely as there is no source of such cold air. That is not to say it cannot develop as a result of the weather most of Europe and Scandinavia has experienced for the past 7-14 days-it can. In the meantime we have to live with a more traditional British winter scene-heavy snow in places, especially over high ground with a more wintry mix for southern lower lying areas and the lovely fluffy snow many of us had for several days becoming rather slushy by day and horribly icy when we get an overnight frost.

    I'll go now before I get lynched!

    Excellent - nice to see some have their feet firmly planted on the ground. Too many only see the bits they want to see - all down to perception. Thanks for that JH
