Feb-22 saw 3 named storms within a week, Dudley, Eunice and Franklin , quite a spell of extreme weather https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/assets/metofficegovuk/pdf/weather/learn-about/uk-past-events/interesting/2022/2022_01_storms_dudley_eunice_franklin_r1.pdf

noooo ... Isha is the 4th named Storm Dec-23 to present Edit: 5th named Storm https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-storm-centre/index

That's the Rain warning for Wales ... go up to Scotland and hit the yellow warning for wind , expand the details .. covers the whole of the UK including the lovely Wiltshire We were discussing the shortcomings of the MetO Warnings Graphic in the Wales Regional thread earlier Its this yellow wind warning that covers the UK

You are Beka .. a yellow wind warning Not very clear is it .. you have to locate the yellow warning for wind graphic over Scotland ..which covers the whole Uk ... hmmm

I had deferred the "battening down" until tomorrow morning .. the "lull" before the Storm , in hindsight I should have done it yesterday a wet and windy Saturday we have

lol ... yes just a tad, defo needs revising to improve clarity, one of the worst I have seen to date for warnings on top of warnings, a good job we have a mild flow otherwise we'd have snow and ice warnings in the mix too.

We (Cymru) will probably see the strongest of the winds Sunday evening circa 80mph for the usual exposed spots, perhaps a tad more for those in extreme exposure to the Sw'erly flow (Aberdaron, Capel Curig, Mumbles etc) as Isha tracks NE to the Nw of Scotland Sunday evening, with core central pressure around 945-950mb, Isha's Cold Front will be interesting

More than likely yes ..down to this "potential" feature Tuesday into Wednesday English Channel battleground Wednesday - interesting to see how this actually pans out

Snow and Ice Yellow warnings now in force for Sun - Thurs

Indeed ..pity the "snow starved south" , got a nice pic off my Unc last week (Monday) of a "rare event for Shoreham-by-Sea" .. "a good 13mm of lying Snow"

Interesting cloud breaks to the lee of land mass, replicating the shape of the land mass re: Nw Scotland and Sw Eire

Enjoy Cold and cloudy further north and west, at least the wind has eased a tad from yesterday

understandable > mild and rain being the lesser of the two evils for you mate

I was seconded to Hemel H from 2010 to lockdown supporting major construction projects in London and the South East, very much helping the Capital to a cleaner clearer future, shame the weather can't play ball with the game plan (at least some of the time)

Sorry mate my bad and p-poor eyesight .. should have been a winky , corrected now, I was n't having a dig Just pleased you are seeing something much more pleasant than grey clag

probably from the "freeze of the century" in Scandi

In London?

Sunny here too, deceptive though , have 30-40mph easterlies here .. Baltic is an understatement

interesting mate .. something I have observed also , I can understand the reasons for certain types of "rain" not being picked up on dop radar , but you would have thought Satellite imagery would "see all" I have to cross check with various websites .. a little like we do with model analysis and looking for cross model agreement Does this fair better , where by you can view different cloud levels? https://www.windy.com/-Clouds-clouds?clouds,54.759,-1.815,6,i:pressure or this? https://www.sat24.com/en-gb/country/gb/hd#selectedLayer=euRadarSat

Peaked around 7c at the front in the shade .. but at the back in the "sun trap" the mercury peaked around 14c in full sun Beeb has us a 6c and "feels like" 4c Come inside to put some warmer gear on as the sun has dropped behind tree line now , back down to 7c , still it was pleasant enough to feel some warmth from a winters' sun

Another glorious day here wall 2 wall sunshine and not a breath of wind Finished my 2023 garden "cut back" now in perfect conditions, and I have to say .. its the 7th of Jan and the earliest ever for a shorts and tee day working at the back garden , sun trap facing south , front (facing north) which is perma-shade through winter, my car (EV) appears to be still covered in moisture , it was a light frost at dawn. My 2022 cut back (kindling) is now bagged up (20x5Kg) ready for delivery to those in need in my locale later (foc of course).Still some way to go to achieve net zero carbon.

A glorious "winters day" today, very much spring - like , daffs are making an appearance as they do here in Jan. Glad to see the back of the protracted period of incessant wind and rain. Sunny, light northerly flow and a warm sun to boot , perfect for outdoors activities, in my case , the continuation of gardening work. "make hay whilst the sun shines" as "they" say

A fair point mate , for me interest is somewhat on the uptick now, especially the distinct NH profile very similar to early March 2023 (post SSW1/2) cold shot and "snow event" (for some), and we are in early Jan , so could produce something noteworthy over the coming week or two + https://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/archives/archives.php?mode=0&month=3&day=6&year=2023&map=0&hour=0

likewise here too

Humberside too now
