    The coastal town of Onslow has just equalled the Australian Record Temperature of 50.7 degrees and taking the W.A Record along the way also.
    Mardie previously held the W.A record of 50.5 which was set on 19 February 1998.

    Unreal...

    This shows how dull December was:

    (even duller for me, I missed the 4 days of decent sun in Exeter early in the month, and a few days of decent sun in Lancaster just after I came down to Exeter.. Exeter Airport had 3.8 hours of sun after 10th!!)

    Wow... would hate to think those people who use solar panels for their energy.

    We just need to get lucky with the synoptics.  If we get cold synoptics in winter there will be cold air to tap into.  

    I always thought as the temperature gradient between the pole and the tropics became less (due to climate change) it would weaken the polar vortex and hence allow more blocking patterns.  Haven't seen it yet.  Maybe I'm missing other factors. 

    It's almost that you have to win the lottery just to get a chance, I think climate change is definitely one of the main factors, though there's probably many other factors in play which I don't understand about.

    Who knows, maybe next year we might get lucky after all

    Gloriously cold crisp week with some hard night-time frosts, much better than what so many in MOD thread were calling a mild first week to Jan just a few weeks ago.

    You just never know what the weather will do one day to the next, there's always a few surprises down the road as they say.

    Here in the south west it's currently mild for the time of year, if it's not raining it's usually cloudy or somewhat misty.

    Last time I can remember it snowed and it settled on the ground was about 2 or 3 years ago, changing climate or just plain unlucky.

    Blimey. Just seen the latest GFS output. That 6 run is quite something.

    People have every right to talk this down but it must be a long long time since any of us have seen such a potently cold start to winter.

    We have to remain cautious, we have seen this all before only to be watered down.

    It's something we have seem all to much in recent years.

    I think the initial cold blast is lining up for a more direct hit

    I don't honestly like the look of the high pressure, though it's not exactly the same time frame it's a concern that we need to watch

    Last night's model watching could be summed up as "messey" it's not exactly a clean cut, so hopefully models can correct it today.
