[Cold hunt - models and chat]

More threads than snowflakes sighted all winter lol   

 

Seriously though im glad they brought back a hunt cold/banter thread, we can but dream

 

[Cold hunt - models and chat]

If only the weather was 288 hours behind the models we would be constantly buried in snowdrifts lol

[Cold hunt - models and chat]

I have been watching every post over the last few weeks with avid interest.  Im an out and out coldie, but also my income depends on footie and rugby pitches being playable.  But if push comes to shove I would take a month of zero games for a big freeze up.  I thought we were on the cusp of that this morning, cant believe its gone pete tong .  :( 

[Model banter returns]

I live and work close to the land (Being on the ground floor ) and what that other poster wrote is totally factually incorrect, nothing short of fake news!.  As someone close to the land, ive seen snow in March being the 1st of winter.  When was that you ask, oh yeah, this March gone     

[Model banter returns]

I cant find the hunt for cold thread, ive enjoyed reading that several times a day?  Has it been culled?

[Model output discussion - The Hunt For Cold]

Hunting for cold in early November is like putting up your Xmas tree.  Too early!!!

[Your Deepest Snow Record]

In Kilburn NW London best I can remember is about 6 inches, but back in Jan 1987 in the Isle of Sheppy, Kent  where my Nan lived, it was up to my head   6ft of level snow. 

[What did you think of Summer 2018?]

Nice to have lots of sunshine, but it was just too hot at times for me.  Still overall better than our average dross summers!

[Summer 2018 - Moans, Ramps, Chat etc]

Overall we had an amazing summer, a bit too amazing for me at times I will admit. (Had to buy an AC unit to avoid melting lol)

If we get a nice "Indian summer" that will be the icing on the cake for heat fans surely!

[Summer 2018 - Moans, Ramps, Chat etc]

If I could bottle up today, and release it every day from June 1st until Sept 30th I would.  Perfect summer day, sunny, warm, some wind in the hair, and no extremes!!

[Summer 2018 - Moans, Ramps, Chat etc]

Lovely to get some proper rain today in the SE.  Very much needed!

As the days go by the return to any prolonged heat looks less and less likely. Starting to shape up to be a much more bearable pleasant month than the previous 2 in this long Summer!

That sounds perfect.   I love fine summer weather, but not extreme heat where you cant go out, can do anything and cant sleep at night.   A couple of fine weeks with temps 25-28c max would be lovely.  

[Model Moans, Ramps and Banter]

Please god keep temps to 30c or less for the rest of summer, we have had a heatwave  for 60 days in London, Im genuinely surprised and grateful its not killed off my elderly and frail mum! 

I love summer, sun and fine weather, but a humid 35c is no fun and dangerous! 

[Summer 2018 - Moans, Ramps, Chat etc]

Hideously hot today out, I love a nice sunny day but why would anyone possibly wish for this sort of insane heat, you cant enjoy it, cant do anything in it, and cant sleep at night in it.

[Model Moans, Ramps and Banter]

Its all very well people wanting 40c+ to hit the UK on the model forum, but do they realise that will literally kill many elderly and vulnerable people? 

What we need after this very dry spell is rain, and cooler temps, and we need them badly!

Todays GFS12Z is hot for sure, but compared to yesterdays same time run, gone are the extreme temps.

Good!! lol

[Model Moans, Ramps and Banter]

Ive finally caved in an bought a portable AC unit.  Not only am I baking every day, I live with my elderly 82 yr old mum who is really struggling in this heat.

I love fine sunny hot weather, but this is crazy!

I was getting worried as the clouds started rotating over my house, thought we were going to have a tornado direct hit.

I noticed that too, what an amazing day.  Thunder and lightning now really going on!!

I was watching it form literally overhead just when as i finished watering the garden

It was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything like it before in my 49 years!  Lol on wasted watering of garden!

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 26/03/2018 onwards]

Torrential rain and 1st rumble of thunder.   This storm has literally formed in NW London, in the last 30 mins out of nothing.  Mother nature is amazing !!

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 26/03/2018 onwards]

Wow just had 2 hours of torrential rain.   Must be amounst the only area in the whole of the UK to get rain today, and enough to cause drains to block!!

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 26/03/2018 onwards]

Wow just had the best thunderstorm I have ever seen in all my 48 years, 90 minutes of flashes literally every second or so. I will never complain about being storm starved ever again!!

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

I can honestly say if I never see another storm I cant compain after tonight.  Constant flashes literally every second for 90 mins.  Amazing I will never moan about being storm starved again!

[Convective/Storm Discussion Thread - 19th May 2018 onwards]

OMG most mental lightnig/storm ive ever seen here in my 48 years! NW London!!  Flashing every second

[Why do so many people on here prefer the grey cold weather?]

All I would like is a decent cold snap or 2 in winter, and between May - Sept, 2 or 3 nice warm spells but nothing too extreme (Except the storms)
