I have, the Thundersnow event of 2004 Never forget it. Ahead of the squall, the temp was +6c The squall arrived as rain & high gusts, then it turned to hail, and then to heavy snow, with lightning & thunder Good covering of snow on the ground before it was done. After the squall, the temperature had dropped to 0c Read more, here https://forum.netweather.tv/topic/75764-january-2004-thundersnow/

Friday night movie time, watching a movie called 500 mph storm, of course i don't expect it to be any good, but combined with a couple of drinks, it's going to make me laugh... probably. It's hard to find a decent hurricane movie the description - When an energy experiment goes haywire, a rash of massive hurricanes rips across North America. A high school science teacher must get his family to safety before the hurricanes merge, creating a "hypercane" with the power to wipe the US off the map.

That shows the baroclinic leaf effect. It's going to be very bad, the only good news, it's going through quickly Seem to be closing on the timeline somewhere from 2am until 7am for the worst of it edit: look at the latest radar !! - it's all lining up just to the west of Ireland -

Sadly, the worst of the conditions look to hit during hours of darkness, which is always a challenge when it comes to video footage Hurricane Force winds is likely to cause power cuts too Also, the mountain top usually register very high wind speeds during these storms. A chance for wind records to be broken -

Feeling angry at this Met Office press release here: Typhoon Haiyan - One Year on http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/releases/archive/2014/typhoon-haiyan 9 percent increase in forecast accuracy The thing is with this Typhoon, and Katrina in 2005, people had days and days of warning time NHC had the track of Katrina nailed a good number of days before landfall Those that could afford to evacuate will have done so If a storm as powerful as Haiyan should strike again, i still think a lot of lives will be lost, and buildings destroyed There is really little can be done when talking about these perfect monster storms There are personal reasons why people may chose to stay and not leave 1) Pets (they will not abandon them) 2) Emotional attachement to their house 3) The fear of looters 4) They believe they can ride out the storm

Friday 31st October General Weather Chat
stevofunnelcl replied to The PIT's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I did see some people wearing winter coats today, with my area getting up to 21c I was in t-shirt and shorts, and i was still sweating. Feels like i've been sweating since April The sun sure doesn't have the kind of power it had in June / July -
Amazing that Hurricane held on as a hurricane for a while, whilst going over sea temps of less than 10c Full extra-tropical transition now occured. Last advisory issued by NHC, still with 80mph winds

Frankly i think it's delusional for people to be looking for 'warmth' when talking about the end of October / early November We'd need a feed of air straight from Africa, what i'm hearing is a westerly wind flow, with the sun losing pretty much all of it's strength soon It'll also soon be getting dark by late afternoon / early evening. The talk should be about increasingly chilly lengthy nights. It's not summer anymore, i don't understand why people are looking for 'sunbathing' weather
