Upgrade.

Just been out to stock up on mushy peas.

The corrections only seem to be showing on the GFS. The FAX charts show a SW/WSW wind, no chance of snow with that wind direction down here.

Firstly, the php can be called in html no problem. A small line of code can be added to the .htaccess file to allow it. I have never had that issue with any other hosting comany in 10 years. Secondly, I can't rename the page to a php extension because the software that processes the file and uploads it, keeps it as a .htm extension, it'll overwrite the .php extension every time. Hence why AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm is used. Thirdly, it is not forcing anything, it is a standard practice for anyone who faces similar issues. There's plenty of professional sites that offer this kind of workaround. I'm not running a business for profit, so I couldn't care less about seo rankings.

Looking good!

I've decided to change web site hosts - on a trial. Loved my old one, but they will not do one simple thing that I have requested, and it causes me problems when it comes to retrieving data to show on graphs and tables. I have no idea why they refuse, but i've just uploaded my entire site to another host, and i'm testing it out on their server. If all goes according to plan, i'll do a full switch-over. I'm expecting problems though!

Weather Display and Cumulus have their own sets of templates. So, as soon as you have hosting, you can initiate the software to upload those web templates, and then you and everybody else can view them. This is the standard web template that Cumulus offers: http://home2.btconnect.com/peterrandle/Weather/index.htm

Just to add insult to injury.. Ignore it though, as it won't be correct. or will it?

Just buy a cheap notebook or laptop and keep it running permanently. It doesn't use a lot of power. Or get an rPi. I keep my gaming pc on all the time as it runs Cumulus. If you want near-realtime data (like mine) you'll need to purchase some web hosting.

That is a very haunting image. The odds of us being snow-less just from looking at it, are pretty astronomical.

.. apart from here .. Two days of 5 - 6°C before returning to double figures on Saturday.

Not even sleet shown for here, just a good ol' single rain drop!

That all depends on where you live i'm afraid. I see nothing in the short to medium term for where I live, that excites me. Anything coming from the NW/N is really just an insult for this geographical position. It doesn't matter how cold the uppers are, it's just watered down at the surface. I remember checking the current uppers last weekend, and it was showing -7 to -8, and I didn't even manage a frost. It needs to be slack pressure with cold uppers to create some nice sub-zero temperatures, or an Easterly, nothing else will cause any excitement.

I don't know about anyone else's forecast for their region, but here it is showing just two cold days. How epic is that??

I believe that chart to be absolute nonsense!

I'm seem to remember @Nick L saying that he couldn't understand why they were showing all of that snow, as the EC precip model he has access to, showed nothing like those amounts.

It was looking like that from the beginning lol That aside, it looks like another terrible week of weather. The forecast has completely changed in the space of 12 hours. I caught a weather bulletin while I was in bed last night..today was meant to be glorious, and clear tonight. It was overcast all day, and it still is now. Apart from Friday, it's meant to be gloomy all week. I keep reading on here how it has been such a good end to Autumn and start to Winter in terms of cold. I'm guessing none of these people record their own weather data, because it was far colder at the end of Autumn and beginning of Winter last year. I'd also had 7 air frosts up until this point last year. This year it has been 1.

If that chart were to verify exactly like that, it would bring rain to Southern counties, snow for parts of Wales and the North-Midland's. On that basis, I do not like it one iota!

Quite a high start for you, Chris. Currently 5.3°C for my locale.

Not only are they being cheeky, they have failed appallingly in today's forecast. Blue skies they said, but not a glimpse of the sun - overcast all day!

Hmmm I have a ton of washing to do but humidity is at 99%

Hoping for some proper low temperatures. If snow isn't on the menu, I do like extremes in my weather station records. Averaging -8 to -9 °C on the 850 ens.

November's average temperatures started off quite high but soon started to average out, especially at the end of the month. I had several ground frosts, but the temperature didn't get below zero until the very last day - saving a streak of the last 7 November's with a below zero temperature. Rainfall was well below the derived MetO average, and sunshine was above average.

I hope Ian can post in here at some point. Despite his withdrawal from the mod thread, i'm sure he mentioned that he would provide the odd insight for the West country folk.

Paul Pogba just rang.. he said re snow for the South, you can try and have a poop in one hand and a wish in the other and see which one gets filled first?!
