  1. While mindful of IFs post regarding GloSea5, the other models GFS, ECM, etc do not use previous weather patterns as such, by that I mean that they don’t hold records of what happened on such and such a date, make comparisons and recalculate future synoptics based on what happened in the past, they are a pure mathematical model, they simulate the climate, in simple terms the latest data goes in and a result comes out, obviously they are constantly monitored in regards their performance and updated usually every few years.

     

    Thank you for that bit of info, I asked a similar question a few weeks back as to whether the models were organic and "learnt" as they went along and gained new information. I would have thought by now with they available computing power that a model would have been able to do this by now. Is this what GloSea5 does?

  2. Hi There, 

     

    Just wondering does anyone know what model XCWeather uses? As they are usually pretty good with wind speeds and directions, although often the weather they forecast on their 7 day outlook generally seems to occur a couple of days sooner than originally indicated? They are showing sustained Easterlies from Thursday onwards but with still relatively warm temps 4-8..is that due to the current temp of the North Sea?

     

    Thanks S

     

    please remove if in the wrong thread, just not sure where to put it..thanks  

  3. By the tim eI thought of going to Walcott the road would have been closed, so I didn't bother, good profile pic that.

     

    As for tonight, I doubt if we'll see much before 05:00 tomorrow, we could start taking a pounding as it runs into the North Sea with the winds turning North Westerly (and still really strong at that point)

     

    Thanks, will try get some others uploaded to my gallery, shot some great burst photography on the nights high tide, got the waves crashing in and breaking over the car, was beautiful to watch. Think I will indeed take a drive to the coast, shame the wind intensity looks set to coincide with low tide!! still can't have it all I guess lol

  4. Was great in Cromer a couple of weeks ago, Huge Seas, BIG winds, SteveC (also a regular on this thread) got some good pics from the pier.  I was a coward and got mine from up top :-)

     

    Here's a link to my pics, I'll try to hunt out SteveC's

    Will take a look thank you, If you take a look at my profile pic its one I snapped at Walcott, got some really good snaps down there, I went home and came back for the night time high tide and got myself a ring side seat before they blocked the road off lol.

  5. Quite possibly.  If the Southern coastal counties do go red, the East Coast counties to Suffolk (possibly Norfolk) may also go red later.

     

    Interesting that Weybourne ( about 12 miles from home ) is getting gusts of 45 mph, my station here only getting to approx 20mph at the moment

     

    That's interesting to know, I'm in Dereham, so will probably make that trek to the coast later on to see what it's like :)

  6. Well, charged up all my fishing headlamps, found the candles, charged up all the laptop batteries in case need to keep the kids entertained during any possible power outages...Just can't decide whether to stay up, or sleep for a bit then get up and head to the coast to see if I can get some good photo's like a couple of weeks back when we had the storm surge!!

  7. I would advise all people to buy the NW radar....As coast pointed out it is a very good toy and tool when coming to now casting..Updating every 5 Minutes and giving you the option to put overlays like wind vectors ETC. Please take 5-10 mins of your time to pay just £3.49 to buy it and test out for one month.

    You even get a 7 day guaranteed money back promise if your not happy!

    So what are you waiting for guys...

    have you got a link to where you buy it? i'm in!! lol

  8. WIth a favourable wind direction ie from ENE for a thames streamer it produces a stream of snow showers that start in the thames estuary and spread to isle of wight widening as they go and giving very crazy accumalations of snow, got a foot before in one night, some people more.

    Hmm if the poster refered to E.Anglia, and streamers are from the Thanes south, looking at the fax chart I'm confused now lol,so basically nothing for mid norfolk then?? lol

  9. Right, I've only flicked through a few GFS charts but snow is evedent on and off all weekend in parts of our region. Here's the best one (simple stuff) so far:
