DR(S)NO

In ten days time it will be ten days to Xmas... What were the models saying ten days ago for this week? Im not convinced that we could be that confident of the Xmas weather in ten days time.

This confuses me..admittedly it happens easily!! Only a few weeks ago it felt as though we could be about to have a great December. Yet now forecasts are poorer( if it's cold your after) So why should I believe the current output will 'break' the first half of Winter?

I thought that a mild spell was always on the cards? Im happy enough for mild weather to show its hand now.... I still feel that a cold second half of December will happen.

Ach, alright, so my earlier guess could be a tad optimistic.... Can I revert to 3.5c please......if only in the vain hope that I might tempt fate...

After noting some of the longer range comments over on the model thread im now even more convinced we are likely to experience a great festive period. im also reducing my guess to 2.5c please ....Brrrr

4 c please .......I think after the first week or so we will see Winter start up..... Quite convinced we will see some decent Winter weather this December ..... And my money is firmly where my mouth is with a small wager on a White Xmas

Well folks ..... The charts this evening are far more encouraging for the start of Winter.... In fact they are full of........ PO

Could be completely wrong here but, presumably, as much as we're told that a disrupted PV gives us a good opportunity at seeing cold snowy weather .... We're also told that it doesn't guarantee it. Therefore surely even if it got its act together there's still every chance we can have numerous chances of decent winter weather.

I think you're right Frosty ... It seems to me that as we move towards the latter stages of November were looking at greater chances of wintry weather ..... Before winter proper begins.

Indeed Frosty. I don't think I can ever remember the words ' snow fields' used at this stage of Autumn.... Yes, it's still Autumn were talking about! Ive got this feeling that we could be about to experience a very special Winter indeed!!!

Bbc Weather.... spot the subtle difference Earlier today... and the noo.... Grrrrr

hmmm if this happens in my area... Still, I live in hope. what a great way to start November ....AND Its not even Winter!!

Normally access Netweather on mobile and iPad Paul... Happy to help

Chilly 6c atm but may revise prior to months end brrr

You know what Frosty... At least it feels seasonal at the moment.... Something we really don't see often enough!!

This would then tie in with all the newspaper articles , in the last week or so,that warned of UK snow in the next 6 weeks. This was then to lead to at least 6 weeks of heavy snowfall. So there must be every chance possible that this could happen... I read it in at least 3 papers Oh, was just going a wee bit crazy there at the very thought of the s-word.. Sorry

A bit like the majority of the Summer then Frosty...

10.5 c please

Or..... Hurricane Frosty as it's known here on the Netweather Forums..

Looks like being crazy warm mon night.... Overnight min in Glasgow around 18c!!!! Phew

Aww great... I love it when this thread starts. Im holding out hope that we get a more seasonal Autumn slowly moving into an early cold spell pre Christmas. I look forward to watching the cold slowly extend towards us. Cmon the cold

Changeable North, more settled south and possibly a better 2nd half of the month. My guess is a slightly above average 14.5c please

With 11 days of the month left I think there is still quite a large range of possible outcomes when it comes to the final temp. Apologies for picking your quote Reef....it may well end up being the 19 th warmest in the CET series but it just goes to show the great differences in weather experienced around our country. Could be wrong but I guess there are many who would dispute the idea that this has been a good Summer ... And, indeed , whether it's been a good July and August. The only statement I could make about this Summer in my neck of the woods is that it's been better than last Summer.

Woke up around 2 ish to a crazy storm. Lasted about 30 mins... Lots of lightning, really loud thunder and some of the most torrential rain I've seen in years...couple with gusty winds...I say seen,but really heard, as the power was cut and the area was in black. Which made the storm even more impressive! Seemed to be an impressive amount of strikes in our area and to the west of me ... Anyone else experience this?

I would imagine,with charts like that, that Frosty could be back sooner rather than later.
