    Yes it could be but if we don’t get a SSW.....

    Raging Zonality right?

    Polar vortex vertical temperature gradient has certainly got off to an early and vigorous start - 6 weeks ahead of itself.

    However an SSW I reckon still to be a distinct possibility. Already money in the bank with regards to the tropospheric ridge/trough pattern and the current persistence of the ScEuro high opens up disruptive possibilities in the second half of December and on into January. And the faster it spins, the bigger it crashes....should the forcing emerge to create that crash. The balance of probability sits in favour of a zonal winter overall at the moment....but I just watched Argentina beat the ABs. Stuff happens - sometimes big stuff.........

    Does low sea ice extent force this vigorous start? Reminds me of Day after Tomorrow and how mother nature fights back...

  2. Finally managed to fly today, after the storms. Not with thankfully, too risky with such a low cloud base and embedded cells.  Here lies the Northolt/Heathrow cell, I think there was two tracking NNE.  Gave a rumble of thunder not long after this picture.

    Very interesting structure to it, once cell that didn't really spread it's anvil; the other however........

    Look at the length of that cloud top....

    I saw a decent size cell over France, but picture didn't do it justice. So I managed to get that cell show up on the stormscope and get a visual of it flying back to London via Southend.

    Finally had a storm here in South London between 8:30 and 9:15. Followed it up to London Bridge. Incredible rain, some fork lightning right above the Shard, ankle deep water.

    Makes the wait worth it. Phone camera fogged up and kept missing the lightning but you can see how much surface water at London Bridge below.

    Not sure what it is, but that road was terrible in 2018 (May Storms) and the drains can never take the water.
