Southend is getting an absolute pasting.

Sky is lit up like a Christmas tree.

Constant thunder and lightning over us here in Southend on sea. Beautiful.

Crazy and there is more to come

Wow!! Huge fork of lightning directly over the house in north west London followed by that that shotgun thunder!!

Storm just woke me up here in north west London torrential rain frequent lightning and some loud cracks of thunder

Metoffice have just issued an amber warning for London and the East!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section or doesn't even belong here at all but, what is a snow squall?

I don't know if the Jamstec LRF has been posted in this thread but their latest update is going for a below average Dec-Feb and also a below average for Mar-May. This was the best I could contribute to you guys not the best but a contribution nonetheless. Dec-Feb: http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.DJF2015.1dec2014.gif Mar-May: http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.MAM2015.1dec2014.gif

Here is a funny one for you all. Got a giggle out of this. http://katm.co.uk/predicted-freezing-weather-will-kill-25000-brits-experts-issue-cold-snap-warning/

Didn't know where else I could put this, but Jamstec's November update isn't very encouraging. http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.DJF2015.1nov2014.gif

Jamstec's November update isn't very encouraging. Put quite a damper on really. http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.DJF2015.1nov2014.gif

Thank you. I will use this for educational purposes.

Please could you link me to the model?

Does anyone here use the Jamstec model? Is it known to be reliable at all? I like the look of a couple of their models. http://www.jamstec.go.jp/frcgc/research/d1/iod/2007/forecast/temp2.glob.DJF2015.1sep2014.gif
