  1. http://gavsweathervids.com/ Concerns for April from the latest weather models according to Gavin. April could be cold and wintry. SNOW is mentioned!
  2. I find this thread a really friendly place too, other threads are a little too cliquey for my liking. 13.2c still and not a cloud in the sky.
  3. Did you have a kebab Lauren? 18.5c today in london. April is going to be a cold, unsettled, according to some of the latest model output.
  4. Do you think that the cold spell that has been appearing in some of the models for the middle of March, will verify?
  5. I swear that hat wasn't there, on your avatar, or am i going mad? 10.3c here still.
  6. Brassica (/ˈbræsɨkə/) is a genus of plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). The members of the genus are informally known as cruciferous vegetables, cabbages, or mustard plant. Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops—derived from the Latin caulis, meaning stem or cabbage.[1] Members of brassica commonly used for food include cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and some seeds. The genus is known for its important agricultural and horticultural crops and includes a number of weeds, both of wild taxa and escapees from cultivation. It counts over 30 wild species and hybrids plus numerous cultivars and hybrids of cultivated origin. Most are seasonal plants (annuals or biennials), but some are small shrubs. Brassica plants have been the subject of much scientific interest for their agricultural importance. Six particularly species (B. carinata, B. juncea, B. oleracea, B. napus, B. nigra and B. rapa) evolved by the combining of chromosomes from three earlier species, as described by the Triangle of U theory. The genus is native in the wild in western Europe, the Mediterranean and temperate regions of Asia and many wild species grow as weeds, especially in North America, South America, and Australia. A dislike for cabbage or broccoli can result from the fact that these plants contain a compound similar to phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), which is bitter or tasteless to some people depending on their 'taste buds'.[2] Is this too much information MAF 10.4c still in the capital
  7. My lawn is still like surrey's..........damp, need a few more days of this weather before i can cut mine.
  8. From weather web tv by simon keeling I've been highlighting for the past few weeks the fact that the dry weather we are about the experience, and the milder temperatures, were likely to hang around for 8 to 10 days.This mornings model runs build on that idea, with the ECMWF, GFS and Canadian all going for a change in conditions around 18th.The GFS and Canadian GEM models are most bullish on this idea, turning things much colder as a north to northwest wind sets in. This could bring a brief return to winter over northern hills with snow showers, and there could be some snow showers at lower levels too.Temperatures would fall and it would likely be windy.It is still a way off but the thoughts are there. If you need dry weather to egg things done, no is the time to do it and then get ready for a change after 18th.I suspect it won't be a dramatic cold snap, but after the mild spring weather of the coming days it may well be a shock to the system.
  9. Tommorrow is suppose to be even warmer here in london, our nights haven't been too bad recently , quite mild.
  10. I wonder whether the March sun will help beef up any potential snow showers and help them build inland too and not just on the coasts?
  11. Let's hope the GFS is throwing a wobbly and starts to behave itself. It has dumped this cold spell 2 times, but it keeps bringing it back too, for around the 20th of March.
  12. Winter keeps showing up in the GFS, with a block in the atlantic and cold northerly winds. It could be out first snow of the winter. LOL
  13. Nice weekend coming up for drawing outside jax, that's what we did in my art degree when it was sunny. We drew landscapes etc, still 10.4c here btw.
  14. Last part of Ian Currie's month by month Surrey weather forecast for 2014 OCTOBER October looks set to have some long dry spells. Perhaps the end of September and during this month is the time for a late holiday as by day there will be plenty of sunshine. The thermometer should exceed 21C or higher on some occasions. Towards the end of the month, with clear skies and dry ground, some grass frost may occur so gardeners beware and take care of any tender plants. NOVEMBER November will be dry at first and the frost threat of October will continue with most of the rain coming later on in the month. The temperature will be a degree or so below par. Some snow is likely in northern areas later in the month. DECEMBER December will see a return of the rain in what will be an unsettled month. Overall, the temperature will be about par with alternating cold and mild spells of weather but rainfall will be about 20 per cent above par. There is a slightly greater chance of a white Christmas. The last occasion when thick snow fell widely on Christmas day in Surrey was 1970. So, overall, it will be a year that will be slightly below par for temperature and around 10 per cent above average for rain.
  15. Not sure about how el nino will affect our weather, but the affect on the states is described below Relief may be on the way for a weather-weary United States with the predicted warming of the central Pacific Ocean brewing this year that will likely change weather worldwide. But it won't be for the better everywhere. The warming, called an El Nino, is expected to lead to fewer Atlantic hurricanes and more rain next winter for drought-stricken California and southern states, and even a milder winter for the nation's frigid northern tier next year, meteorologists say. While it could be good news to lessen the southwestern U.S. drought and shrink heating bills next winter in the far north, "worldwide it can be quite a different story," said North Carolina State University atmospheric sciences professor Ken Kunkel. "Some areas benefit. Some don't." Globally, it can mean an even hotter year coming up and billions of dollars in losses for food crops.
  16. Ian Currie's month by month Surrey weather forecast for 2014 part 2 JUNE June will see a dip in the temperature with the month actually slightly below par. This is because the wind will be from the north or north-east and it will be eastern areas that will feel the coolest winds and some western parts especially the South West will be quite warm so a good time to go on holiday to the Western Isles of Scotland or the far West of England and Wales. Rainfall should be average in the East but drier than normal in the West of the UK. JULY July will be around average for rain and temperature so perhaps we will not suffer the searing heat and drought of last year. Watch out for some thundery weather with most of the rain falling in the latter half of the month and affecting, in particular, East Surrey and the South East where rain may be above par. We have had very few thunderstorms in recent years but this could be the exception. AUGUST August will continue with some frequent showers and storms and give some large falls in places and by the end of the month rainfall could well be above average but, again, head north-west for drier and sunnier weather as low pressure stays further south and east. The temperature may struggle to reach 27C (80F).
  17. Ian Currie's month by month Surrey weather forecast for 2014 MARCH March will dry out the soil as I expect it to be much below average, rain-wise, a case of "a peck of March dust is worth its weight in gold". There will be some frosty nights which will arrest plant growth but day temperatures should be around par and sunshine values rather above. Check carefully the forecast and don't be fooled by the warmth of the day as soil temperatures will remain rather low. APRIL April will be on the chilly side and frosts more frequent than normal. There will be above-average rainfall too, with soils becoming very wet. Watch out for some snow too, as low pressure systems track rather further south over southern districts though the far south may just see rain. Soil temperatures could stay depressed as well so spring will be rather on hold. MAY May will see quite a change with a rapid warming of the soil as the mean temperature will be above average by several degrees with some warm days. The afternoon temperatures may be up to between 21C and 24C. There will be mild nights. It could be the best month of the year. Rainfall will be average or below with the wind coming in from the south, though the far North West of the UK will be above the norm for rain.
  18. How accurate are their forecasts? I have snow with a temp of 4c on that day too.
  19. From the met office UK Outlook for Tuesday 11 Mar 2014 to Thursday 20 Mar 2014: Most areas fine through Tuesday and quite sunny, with unbroken sunshine for some. It may be cloudier in parts of southern England and northwest Scotland. Through the rest of the week, high pressure will dominate, with only northwest Scotland and perhaps western parts of Northern Ireland seeing occasional damp, windier weather, whilst elsewhere there will be a good deal of settled weather with some sunshine. Daytime temperatures probably above normal, but often chilly overnight with the risk of frost and fog. Towards next weekend and into the following week, it is likely to turn more changeable, especially in the north. Here, some heavy rain, hill snow and gales seem increasingly likely, and even in the south some cloudier, windier weather with occasional rain, with temperatures returning to normal.

  20. The GFS took a more unsettled turn earlier today, wonder how long the high will last for? The GFS was showing a northerly blast two days ago but that has gone. What level art are you doing, Alevel, degree etc?
  21. I avoid the MAD thread, but everyone else was way off the mark with their cold winter predictions. Do you know when the QBO is forecast to move out of its westerly phase, as this has been one of the reasons for the stormy, mild winter? What is your spring/summer prediction?
  22. The Quasi Biennial Oscillation is suppose to move into an easterly phase, hopefully in time for next winter, then your prediction may come true. Hope it does.
