why is the bbc 5 dayer predicting heavy rain in my area for 7am 2moro when there is no rain forecast by every other model, plus for the last 2 nights it has underestimated the min temp i got a frost last night when it predicted 4 c

I would like to see permanent Northern lattitude blocking prevail for the next year (a sort of reverse Bartlett only lasting a lot longer) starting off to the North west giving some very cool showery summer weather and then moving into scandinavia during November giving the mother of all easterlies lasting the whole winter with -20c uppers covering the whole country and some massive convections getting right across to the west as well.
yep that is just a dream though and unfortuntely will never be a reality

Only 3mm so far this month and the last time this fell was on the 3rd April. The total rainfall for this year so far is around 50mm.
Interesting to see on the Met O rainfall maps that Cambs, part of beds see less 600mm annually with parts of Essex also included in this. I believe the reason for this is because this area also misses out on most of the precipitation from N,NW,lys which often falls in the form of showers. So the combination of this plus the weakening fronts from the W means we get very little rainfall.
We seriously need the rainfall now because we also missed most of the snowfall in December which was also a very dry month here.
thanks mate for pointing that out someone said that cheshire is drier than my part what a load of tosh that is.
though i did get very very lucky with snowfall in dec prob wont happen again like that though for another 30 years.
-
can someone tell me the rainfall for this year in my location i cant find any stats
ive barely seen any rain since end of feb
-
Trust me this guy isnt lying!! Saw one bolt of lightning last year and that was on may 1st :S Charts arnt looking bad just yet so maybe..lol
Thanks a fellow bedfordian to back me up how dry its here
-
storms can pop up anywere
yeah i will prob here thunderstorms but trust me my location misses out on a lot of heavy showers,i want a solid band of rain to come but it aint gonna happen in the forseable
-
i doubt i will catch any thundery showers as my area tends to miss out on showers quite often as i live on low ground
-
what i dont want to see its lots of cloudy humid days as they are pointless and good for nothing no sun and no rain is annyoing. A good mix is obvioulsly the best case scernrio of warm/hot sunnys days 24/28 c and thunderstorms mainly at night or evening, along with cooler fresher days with a mix of sun and showers even some hail mixed in.
BUT i would like to have a couple of days when we see 35 c as i like my extremes

great ive paid £50 for water at my alltotmant and they might have to turn the taps off hopefully we see a deluge sometime in may or june but hope wont change the weather.:unsure:
after a very warm spring, i still going for a much drier and cooler than average winter. I think that before or by the start of summer hose pipe bans will be firmly in place the breadth of the country (England and possibly parts of Wales). Last year according to United Utilities we broke a 120 year dry spell period, which lasted from February right through to July.
So far we've had a bit of light drizzle, wish I could call it light rain but I just cant.
Warm spring, cool summer as the saying goes..and I am expecting a frigid winter this year just as Joe B stated before he got sacked for speaking the truth about global cooling.
I reckon 22/25C top NW England, might be a bit below that tho. So far throughout this spring it really hasn't been all that warm up here, nowhere near the Midlands or South of England
temperatures. Max temp 18.9C thus far, with the average only being 14.6C.
You can take them abroad, plenty of warmth in Florida during July / August. August is an odd month, for the last 6 or 7 years especially up here, its not a month one thinks of as being roasting, in fact if anything the last month of Summer (September tends to give warm to very warm summer days and mild cool night.) The thing I absolutely hate about summers is anything about 27C with overnight temperatures being only slightly cooler than day time at 19/20C) However I'd take 26C / dry / cloudless summer day and mild cool evenings..nothing worse than trying to get the kids to sleep in sweltering heat! We had to have an AC installed early last year, so we'd never have to put up with heat issues again..oh well)
BTW nights actually begin to get shorter mid June ;-)
the weather hasnt been that great down here over the past few years in july and august too plus i dont have kids yet and florida is way to expensive
-
what about the poor kids who are on their holidays in august and cant enjoy good weather as over the last few years our only hot weather came in june or july.
its easy to say we would prefer warmth and sun in may or june, but then we would moan come mid aug that we are due another hot spell. its a bit like this winter just gone we had the coldest december for 100 years but by feb we were getting fed up with the lack of snow.
-
i was born in gravesend i must have brought that dry curse with me when i moved
-
my area is not very snowy at all apart from last december, 5 inches of snow was the most ive seen in my life. Luton which is further south and much higher ground sees far more than i do and my only chance of snow is from frontal atttacks and sometimes they dont get as far north as me last year i got very very lucky. Normally im to far inland for snow showers to catch any.
plus i live out in the sticks and for some strange reason its much drier than in my local town whichis two miles up the road.
-
welcome to england the country of unpredictable weather
-
after this long dry spell i forsee a long cool wet spell because when its wet in summer it normally cool how often to we see 25 c and rain apart from when its thundury and we seem to get a lot of westerly or northwesterly winds.rather than southwesterlys winds.
-
How long does this la nina go on for and what about the solor minimum situation maybe next winter if la nina is week then there could be loads of northern blocking
-
yes i hope we see lots of thunderstorms because if it stays dry then their could be hospipe bans and my poor allotmant will die
-
As i live in in a dry area and probably one of the driest places in the uk i want to know where is the driest place in the UK because even in dry areas such as cambridge and suffolk see more rain than me and obviously the north and west is wetter than the south and east. However in the summer the south east gets good thunderstorms from france and these can scoot up into east anglia too. But i am to far north and west for these storms but occaisonly i do catch one. I also live on very low ground so when a low pressure system comes in from the northwest ,west or southwest places such as luton and northampton get all the rain and it avoids me quite often, this is very frustrating now as i have an allotmant and it is parched.
-
doing my onions this weekend i have waited until now because they didnt turn the taps on till yesterday, it has been so dry this spring the ground needs a good watering, so its nice and easy to dig.
hope we dont see any more frosts
now as my tomatoes are way ahead of schdule and prob need to go out by the end of the month. Last year we had a frost on 17th may and my cucumbers just about survived. -
some of that heat has come over to england i saw 21c yesterday other places were higher
-
i have not seen a single flake this year but last december i got very lucky as the band of snow died out about 10 miles north of me i got about 7 inches which i havent seen since i moved to bedford 10 years ago
-
Another lovely day with wall to wall sunshine and blue skies and light winds. Slightly warmer than yesterday with temps hitting 18 degrees which is very good indeed for early April. Tonight looks a chilly one we could get down to 2 degrees so a slight ground frost.
Tomorrow has potential to hit the magic 70f around these parts thanks to the change in wind direction from a westerly to a south easterly. I think we will comfortably hit 19 degrees and quite possibly 20 degrees.
We have been spoilt it seems with recent April's, I remember this weekend last year being very good for sunshine and warmth, april 2009 was consistently very mild and we had the superb warm weather of mid April 2007. This year isn't going to eclipse April 2007 but it is doing its best...
I hope people are making the most of the current weather - some significant changes lie ahead to what could be a pronounced long spell of cool unsettled weather.
looks like a great weekend coming up, i think when people say that weekends are typically rubbish when their off work is not true, i can remember many times the weekend being good and then on monday being cloudy and dull i will personally be hoping for rain next week anyway.
-
that is the trouble with this country too many things need to go right for a perfect spell of weather it is very hard to get a glourious week of sunshine nationwide whilst places like spain and italy it can be wall to wall sunshine for weeks then a lovely big storm come by, but even they see dull cloudy days because i saw that for myself last year on holiday.

Rain doesn't generally stop play. Come summertime tis generally warm rain anyway. So still go surfing, cycling. Admittedly puts a bit of a dampener on climbing but doesn't stop play.
Also as posted earlier it's not the extremes where it proves useful but around this time of year.
i wasnt talking about cricket or whatever your on about im talking about walking or sitting outside

You don't live in East Anglia....you live in the Midlands! East Anglia is Norfolk and Suffolk....at a push north Essex and Cambridgeshire (less the old Huntingdonshire) could be included...certainly not Bedfordshire!
Anyway, even today illustrates local changes in weather, as in Appleby it's been a dry and, at times, sunny day. When I got home, however, it was low cloud, driving rain and blowing a gale. Lambing Live tonight's not going so well so far!
that is debatable my county is on anglia news some say the south midlands some say the homecounties some say east anglia who right then?
now as my tomatoes are way ahead of schdule and prob need to go out by the end of the month. Last year we had a frost on 17th may and my cucumbers just about survived.
