First one to Hit the mainland in since how long?? 2 years? Irene looks set to hit Florida according to NOAA NHC.

I have a very accurate forecast, It's used in aviation. It will be what it will be

But wasn't November and December officially the coldest since 1983 and the coldest in over 100 years respectively? I can't remember anymore snowfall down in London after the December snowfall, but remember it remaining pretty cold for a while, thawing in early January (still remember ice/snow in February at Biggin Hill)
What would be interesting is to see if the high pressure starts to block again this winter, and where it is relative to last years block, that would give us a definitive idea of how cold this winter is going to be.
Are we not scientifically overdue an ice age?

Well there's the first of the Autumn storms for the UK, looks set to hit us within 1-1/2 weeks?

Wondering if it could be solar and gulf stream driven of why the summer has performed like it has? also there was a fairly strong La Nina earlier in the year and i recon that could be the factor why we have had the atmospheric patterns like we have. Don't think we have been alone as i think that France and Spain have not had a too brilliantly hot summer either. Maybe the earths temperature is going on a diet and a big diet.
What I've noticed about this Summer, there is a lot of cloud cover - that has and hasn't helped our Summer, some little cloud - lots of sunshine, hot night - next day really muggy cloud = which lead to that 33.4*C or whatever it was, which kept the temperatures where they where.
A good summer, I believe is generally less moist - lots of dry heat, no cloud = the Summer 2003 heatwave. Our summers seem too moist to be summers, rather than what we had years and years ago.
I am a fan of Global Cooling and Climate Change, but not a fan of 'Man-made Global warming' - as science suggests that a a lot of dinosaurs pooped and created as much global warming as us humans, the last time earth had issues.

I really don't think we'll see -20'C in London, it would be interesting however
- what is the (modern) London record? I thought it wasn't much below -8'C?-10c I believe at Heathrow,. There are records of the temperature falling to -21c some time int he 17 or 1800's.
I've seen a few people saying this winter will see a weak La Nina which will strengthen later on, compared to last winters strong La Nina, which might mean wintry in the latter half of winter? Not sure though.
Well in Winter 2010, when I was stupid enough to go to Biggin Hill Airport at 4/5am the temperature was around -15*C according to the weather station that we had.
-20*C for London, would be cool - not much TFL and Boris can do about it now can he? LOL

That brimming cell is now going 080-090 magnetic no longer north east. For Kent Sake!
-
Aaahhh now there's a question!!
Sadly I lost Mother Nature's business card otherwise I'd give her a bell and find out
Lol just noticed too on NW radar that the precip is forming a heart shape across the SE...is that a subliminal message of is Mother Nature mocking us?
-
Nothing like a bit of orography
Nothing beats it, lol! I would love to see a Suepercell head northbound, get the Orographic affect then the urban affect, does anybody remember this happening? Most UK Supercells Ive know have just scraped KENT!
-
Seems thing to be intensifying near Gatwick, as they pass near the Southdowns. Thank god for my MET book!
-
Post of the year more like, I've known Autumn can be very Thunderstorm Intense? Especially at night!
-
-20 in London?? :S
-
Right lets see how good the MetOffice really are, just updated at 22:41 - it expects that London will get a Thunder Shower at 1am!
Whos' up for waiting for this baby?

Lucky sods! Hope you're enjoying!
I've been sat here near the balcony and seen nothing since the solitary flash about 90 mins ago.
Defo appears to be the channel that's fuelling these pups, then whenever they get in land start to run out of puff!!
They haven't hit the Downs yet, give it 30 minutes, if it does nothing to re-uplift them - sods law go to bed. Are you on MSN/Skype? Inbox me - I fancy waiting for the lot behind this lot.
-
Blimey the girlies are taking over...
good luck with your storms eveyoneShhh, that's a good thing!
Hiiiii Girls

I can see something in the very distant horizon, possibly lightning flashing every 2-3 seconds just south of London, maybe north of LGW. Not sure, can't be too sure - but looking at the radar - it has to be what I think it is! + the one behind the current brighton storm looks nope - still swearinging big!
-
I do wonder if the Downs will help intensify these storms as the head northbound, looking at it, they are sort of intensifying. Probably going to be a 5 minute wonder though, anyone further south than me i.e London Gatwick/Croydon way see anything yet? I cannot yet. (City of London)
-
Just seen part of the cloud shield to the south light up with lightning - from here in south London B)
No exactly frequent - but nice to be able to see storms at night even if they are some distance away!
Sure it's not an aircraft strobe light? lool!
The MetOffice Charts are almost accurate. Look at this overlay I just created.
-
I do hope your write..I am about 10 mins drive from Heathrow
Well the urban affect gives it's more juice, the downs will give it uplifting. Either way they should intensify unless it's a weak front/trough.
-
Rochester/Chatham borders, North Kent. Clear skies here but dark way off to the WSW and SW!!
Still clear for me, hopefully should be heading this way, south downs and then London will intensify the weather - scientifically!
-
Where do you live?
-
Indeed! I'm about 50 miles away. The horizon extends 24 miles and CBS are typically 3-5 miles high (I think)!
I'm hoping my friend the South downs + London Heating affect can give us some good shows tonight.
-
Indeed, was very localised. About a strip 5 miles wide and about 10 miles long max!!
That's what I can see from here! Perfect time really light to be fading!!
Here it is weird at the moment, light sunset to the north in a rapidly narrowing band as the sky clouds over. To the south an inky blackness on the horizon with a wall of grey clouds ahead of it. The strong breeze we had all day has dropped of and now just a very slight breeze stirring the trees.
It's amazing considering they are 50-60 miles away, but hey - I believe you can see Everest from that Distance? Some very tall CBs that's for sure, hopefully not Embedded like last time we had some, as then we can get some good displays.
- what is the (modern) London record? I thought it wasn't much below -8'C?
