    Storm Chase 2012 - Dates And Early Booking Offer

    in Storm Chase USA

    Posted · Edited by Tim

    Unfortunately I've just had this email from them:

    "I'm afraid we've just heard that we aren't going to be able to offer storm chasing cover for the foreseeable future. We've just placed a message to this effect on our website.

    If you are struggling to find cover from another provider I would suggest contacting a local insurance broker, the British Insurance Broker's Association have a find a broker helpline who can offer assistance in this regard:

    http://www.biba.org.uk/

    Apologies that we are unable to be of assistance in this instance."

    Will try that broker helpline and hope something comes up!

    Uk Met Office - Worse Or Better Than 10 Years Ago?

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted

    Personally, the Met seem to be making more errors in the last few years than at the turn of the century. One classic example is the rainstorms that affected the south coast last week, the Met failed to even put out a warning.

    To be honest that just seems more a case of the way memory works than fact. You can hear all the time people saying things were different 10 years a go on so many subjects......I think more often it's just a case of we either forget or the rose tinted glasses effect of the past slipping in.

    i find all this wailing and suicidal postings bizarre to be honest, they are ruining the model thread.

    This is NORMAL.

    We've had the coolest June since 1991 and July isn't looking much better....not exactly normal really is it!

    Tbh this summer seems quite similar to 2007 now although a bit dryer and not as warm, my gut feeling is it won't change much this month but like in 2007 August may bring the best weather of the summer.

    The June forecast by netweather is a joke..Thats all that really needs to be said.. You just cannot predicate the weather that far a head.

    Just keep stum.The met office had their fingers burnt and now refuse to predict a long range summer forecast.I think its time every one else followed their lead..

    I've followed long range forecasts on this site by the site itself and well respected members and many have given a very good idea of what the summers/winters have been like.

    What would be a joke is stopping doing long range forecasts because 1 month went wrong!

    I stand corrected then, nothing on the detector from that area though. Is there any chance of anything hitting somerset/west country tonight. If not I'm off to the bed

    I have noticed the Met Office have forecast light rain for Bristol at 4 am. I take it it's that rain in the southeast heading our way. We really need it but I would have thought it would just die out overnight before getting here? No storms by the looks of things though.

    Now What Does The Rest Of The Winter Hold For Us?

    What do you class as winters end? The end of Feb? Well we have 5 weeks left. In terms of timescales for wintry weather - these last in my opinion right through to about mid April. Admittedly chances of sub zero maxima diminish rapidly by middle of March, but the threat of significant snowfall doesn't dissapear until about mid April.

    Would depend on location really, in Bristol by March we've pretty much had it down here!

    Its raining quite heavy here at the moment did u catch that storm yesterday?

    Yeah we got that. Think the west side of Bristol had the most as it weakened as it left the Bristol Channel I happenend to be in Portishead when it came over so maybe in the best area? The rain after I posted did keep up at a more moderate rate than I expected. Still I doubt most of Bristol managed and inch of rain.

    Still no real rainfall in your area?

    I just looked at Sydney average weather conditions, and I was actually quite surprised! I thought it would have been much warmer than it is in summer for its latitude and being on quite a large landmass, average summer max temps are about 25-26C which is only about 3C higher than London, although Sydney does have much warmer nights on average at about 18-19C compared to 14C..and obviously Sydney is more prone to extreme heat above 40C. I didn't expect Sydney to average over 1200mm of rain a year though! that's more than double what London gets!

    I was aware it gets double the rainfall of many parts of the south of the UK. I've got not idea how kids aged 4 and 6 who come from a place that gets around 4/5 inches of rain pretty much every month of the year had never seen rain!!!!!

    Looking good for the Bristol area. Some warm sunshine in the last hour and those cells probably arriving around 2/3 pm (a good time, yesterday it was looking more midday when they wouldn't have reached a peak) and currently building to the south.
