ECM at 216, surely date records in parts under threat, as I said above this morning I thnk, GFS also not far off
my prediction though for Xmas is broad westerly, mild south, average north,
agree with most on here, winters are becoming milder and less snowy on average since approx 2000, slight blip though for the odd month, but the trend is up, TMW!
trend last 2 summers is a Tues/wed plume, then over by Thurs! even northerly topplers becoming less, and less potent, so low levels south seeing frost and rain, maybe sleet in heavier bursts
now this is 384, so won't happen quite like this, but I reckon some sort of record to be broken somewhere this Xmas, either windiest, strongest gust, wettest, or mildest ever, maybe even lowest pressure, or maybe more than one
Yes normal Dec run really, mild and wet, Atlantic dominating, my guess for Xmas is broad westerly, mild south, average north, snow only on mountains of Scotland
Saturday soaker, been keeping an eye on this for NW Midlands, looks ugly washout for Xmas shoppers, what's new huh, as when rain comes though 'at least it will be mild' I'd rather rain at 11° than 2-3°
Hate the expression, wouldn't mind if 'long term gain' was guaranteed but it isn't, just like ECM ens at 240, or 'longwave' pattern at T252 when Atlantic is going to dominate
oh please @nick sussex, worst news I have read on this forum this season! I am sick of telling people I know that we do not get the snow from America! it comes over here as rain!
may be used soon (to nobody on here of course)
