    Exactly: apart from an increased likelihood, in favoured areas (Northern Isles, North-facing coastal regions in Scotland and England, attempting detail would be foolhardy at best (even for us on here); but, the MetO being two-flakes' short of Snowmageddon...and it's endless wittering-on about 'tax-subsidized super computers'!:wallbash:

    Whats this.  No snow for Ireland and Wales???  Surely after Scotland northern Ireland and North and west Wales should see quite a bit of snow???  I maybe wrong

    Of course not. That's why it's revised every day. And BBQ summer debacle is irrelevant: that was a PR mess epitomising poor communication of *probabilistic* forecasting. For exactly that reason, UKMO contingency planners document is NOT badged as a 'seasonal forecast'...albeit some transpose it as being so.

    Presently, GloSea5 and EC Monthly remain in (broadly) good agreement out to later January, i.e. with core of +ve MSLP anomaly building to SW of UK by mid-Jan (GloSea5 has leaned to this outcome for many successive runs & EC Monthly has now supported it). Net result becomes more a mean NW flow by later Jan, as cited in UKMO web forecast. Meanwhile, recent GFS output (easterly etc) has very scant EC support in ENS/clusters as of 00z last night, but it's clearly plausible, because the potential is so obviously there out east (albeit *right now* it's there as a minority solution...but that doesn't wholly discount it).

    Nonetheless, ongoing GloSea5 and now other nearer-term NWP suites signalling (perhaps marked) weakening of stratospheric PV from early Jan is more the key to how this ultimately unfolds if we adopt a longer-term view (rather than chasing every wildly-oscillating GFS run, a characteristic recently endemic in that suite), and how this may resolve our fortunes into the 2nd half of winter. 

    Just a quick question Ian. There seems to be very cold uppers consistently to our West / north West.  Would this not bring cold weather to the UK??

    Well, one good thing about the 18z is that it's a lot more like I've been looking out for in terms of the El Nino background working in conjunction with the SAI feedback process. 

    The other main positive is that shift south in the weekend rains, the large totals falling across areas which have had near or even below average rainfall over the past 2-3 months.

    But it seems to be over my area in nw Wales and we have had copious amounts of rain and flooding too with more to come by the looks of it

  4. not interested! nothing to do with Midlands weather, there is a worldwide weather section

    I was being helpful as they were talking about a snowstorm in Denmark. And the link is already in snow in Northern hemisphere forum. Did I tag any of your comments??

  5. That's a considerable split from 100mb through to 7mb with the vortex stretched at 5mb.

    Pressure on the vortex from every possible blocking pre-cursor !

    EPO has gone beyond -5SD

    An awesome model roller coaster just now, and the benefit of a couple of cold incursions, Nino re-engaging and a couple of cold shots to keep things interesting elsewhere.

    What do you think will happen if this happens??
