  1. I keep popping into the MAD thread but only to read, never to post as I don't know enough. Man they're feisty in there! I'm right on the south central coast and I fully accept it's a few degrees warmer down here than the norm so I rarely expect to see snow. I think whatever happens happens and I look forward to seeing what that is. (Personally I could do without a cold snap as I have a pond full of frogs mating and I don't want their spawn ruined) :cold:

  2. So if I understand it correctly, systems usually die down when reaching land but this one is intensifying.  Consequently, wind speeds are increasing as the storm crosses the country which would explain why the possible speeds being suggested for (e.g.) Heathrow are higher than we were originally led to believe they would be?  Also, are we looking at the possibility of a potentially damaging Sting Jet as the system leaves the UK via the Norfolk / East Anglia region?

  3. i take it that's firefox 12,i am running ff 15.0.1

    Ok that's interesting as ff12 is (obviously) older than ff15. I just tried running it in IE (/puke) and there was a little "split" icon in the address bar that says "compatibility view: websites designed for older browsers will often look better, and problems such as out of place menus, images or text will be corrected". This makes me think that the website isn't particularly up-to-date (software-wise) which is why ff12 (old) can see it correctly when ff15 & chrome can't...

    And on that note, I am off to bed in the land of no wind or rain and hoping it stays that way for rush-hour wacko.png

  4. Ok the weather is officially wierd! It's been 13oC all day so a bit chilly and there were the earlier storms. Just been outside for a smoke and had to take my sweatshirt off coz it's blazing hot sunshine. Temp now up to 15.3oC and rising. To my east the sky is blue with puffy white clouds but to my west (Southampton direction) the sky is a menacing dark grey and I am 99.9% sure I'm hearing more thunder!!! No strikes showing on the radar so am I cracking up??? wacko.png

  5. The extensive cloud across southern areas will unlikely affect storm potential later on tonight/tomorrow morning - as the storms that form will tend to be elevated, i.e. elevated warm/moist layer of high wet bulb potential temps (WBPTs) which destabilises above a stable surface layer

    Phew, thanks Nick! It's horribly, boringly, cloudy down here and feeling quite cool too - 19oC (feels like 20.2oC) with a little light rain so I've also been wondering if it's all over storm-wise too :)
