  1. This is from brian gaze from the weatheroutlook regarding next weekends weather. The irony of ironies is if this could allow wintry showers to develop, and even bring a few flakes of snow down to lower levels where winter remained snow-less. Again I’ll quickly add that I’m not talking about widespread disruptive or accumulating snow. I’m really just flagging up the possibility of an unusual anomaly for some areas; the possibility of the first snow flake of the year arriving in spring!
  2. Wasn't there an earth quake this week in the bristol channel? The Bristol Channel floods, which occurred on 30 January 1607, resulted in the drowning of a large number of people and the destruction of a large amount of farmland and livestock. Recent research has suggested that the cause may have been a tsunami. The cause of the flood remains disputed, insofar as contemporary explanations blamed God. Subsequent scientific explanations ignored much of the written evidence and blamed bad weather, until recent research suggested a tsunami. Traditionally it had been believed that the floods were caused by a storm surge, a combination of meteorological extremes and a high tide. Written evidence from the time describes events that were similar to those that unfolded in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, including the sea receding before the wave arrived, a wave of water that rushed in faster than men could run, sparks coming off the top of the wave, and a crowd of people who stood and watched the wave coming towards them until it was too late to run.
  3. in that case, due to government cuts, my borough couldn't afford any this year, so they have the 2 grammes left over from lasy year.
  4. More nonsense from the express Floods, storms, and TIDAL WAVES of rats: rodents the latest plague to hit rural towns EXPERTS have warned that waves of rats fleeing the floods are descending on nearby homes.
  5. Exactly alexisj9, i hate the way this paper twists things round to always sound like they are right. It was snow all the way for them, no mention of mild and record rain, they take the Tut
  6. Daily express saying they predicted the winter correctly, thanks to their 'expert forecasters' what bull**** Winter will be 'drier than normal', Met Office claimed...but the Express knew truth DAILY Express long-range weather forecasters warned a severe winter was on the way months before it turned out to be the wettest on record. Long range forecasters used by the Daily Express including Vantage Weather Services and Exacta Weather had seen signals that, to the contrary, above average precipitation would fall. In line with usual winter blocking patterns, which allow cold air to flow in from the east, they said we could be in for record amounts of snowfall.. The Daily Express did not rule out the possibility that should the weather be milder than average, we would indeed see this fall as rain - which ultimately it did. Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services, said: “We always maintained it was going to be a wild winter with very high precipitation. “We said at the beginning we would either be knee-deep in snow or knee-deep in rain.
  7. I would prefer it if the met office kept it zipped and just stuck to 7 day forecasts, they have proved that they haven't got a scooby about long range forecasting. The difference between them and the james maddens is millions of pounds from the government. Extract from daily mail Weathermen are worthless (so give them £10m more)By David DerbyshireUPDATED: 08:28, 12 May 2011 The Met Office’s seasonal forecasts are worthless and failed to help Britain prepare for the coldest start to winter in 100 years, MPs said yesterday. Its long-range predictions ‘do not provide a firm basis on which decision makers can act with confidence’, the report into December’s snow chaos found. But despite giving a damning verdict on its forecasting, the Commons transport committee urged the Government to give the Met Office an extra £10million in funding.
  8. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society have just issued their latest ideas for sorting and summer 2014.It predicts temperatures to be above normal across all of western Europe through spring (March to May inclusive), and places percentages chances across the north of the UK of 55% above normal, 30% near normal and just a 15% risk of temperatures below normal.For the summer months (June to August inclusive, see below) percentage risks are 50% above normal temperatures, 35% near normal and 15% below normal temperature.These are significant signals from the model and confirm current thinking of a milder than usual summer. warning they did predict near normal rainfall for this winter.
  9. Indeed, if it is true then it shows no improvements in the met office long range forecasting and they should stop making these predictions.
  10. Were you weeding and digging the soil, or have you started planting? The spinach, coriander, fennel, spring onions and rocket in my garden have all survived the winter. I never know when to plant tomatoes, beans etc because a late cold snap would kill these fragile plants.

  12. Have they made a summer prediction yet? Do you still have DVD rental stores? In london they have all but gone, even block buster. I joined love film, you can keep the dvd for as long as you want, no late fees, post it back when finished free of charge.
  13. Met office at it again, this from the telegraph. Met Office told councils to expect a 'drier than normal' Winter The Met Office made serious errors in its three month forecast provided to councils and the Environment Agency and said in November that the country could expect 'drier than usual' conditions this winter - especially in the West Country
  14. heights in the pacific and cold over north america to blame, off for a weasel burger.
  15. here are the conditions in london, just for you triple 13.5, bright sunshine pressure steady, riots possible
