seems reasonable SS, likely accurate as well, I reckon over Xmas we'll be in a westerly with average temps, not super mild, but snow only for Scottish mountains
looking like wed into Thurs may not drop below 13° in some parts, not the only mild day either, most days shown on GFS from 6th to 18th are double digits in the south
lettucing gutted may win CET comp
So, it's the usual, mild and wet for foreseeable future, Atlantic to dominate, 5.9° CET guess may be too low, and the straw clutching about a little high to the north on ECMWF 240, GFS though mild/stormy all the way, certainly more like Dec '15
Yes, deepest FI but let's hope it dosen't, could be flooding issues for quite a few areas, best if the jet is much further north, with lows tracking nearer Iceland, keeps the flooding away, do not want water in peoples houses for Xmas again
a shame because they are good forecasters, very well written forecast lots of effort gone in, well done to lorenzo and Matt!
but then you get a limited knowledge member like I remember Atlantic 252, saying the Atlantic will dominate with zonality, and hate for it to be correct
never any expectation from me, post 2000, everyone I speak to knows winters are getting milder and snow is becoming less common, basing it on todays GFS 12Z, it's mild for the foreseeable future, what's new 2000's suck, SIGH!
