[NETWEATHER WINTER WEATHER PREDICTING COMPETITION]

Good evening Mr Teacher person 

Re Cat 9

Can you just check the south east thread as I am sure there was snow mentioned settling in the London area.

It might have been just outside the area to be fair, it might have been one the the mods (nick's)  it just seems strange that there was no snow from the 1st to the 5th Jan.

Reading back there was falling snow New Years Day ( as stated above)  but no one had settling snow ??

Do we take notice of the charts or go on gut feeling.
Could end up being something special or only a bit cold.

2.2c

65mm

Please.

I think it’s -1c here mate. The 0.4c is probably Shoeburyness just down the road right on the coast.

Pretty amazing seeing as we on coast.

Nothing better than waking up to sun and frost and temps around freezing all day.

I dont know how it will average out but its supposed to rain for the next 24/36 hours down here in various places in southern UK.

So one would imagine thats a pretty large chunk going onto the rainfall totals.

Hugely impressive radar chart showing the low pressure to the south of us.

Our resort planners have been given advance notice of an increased chance of some freezing conditions from Mid - October. Whether , that is from a increase of a Northerly type flow as shown on a earlier post by @Steve Murr in the model thread,I am not sure. However in response to the portal service  update, dozens of snow cannons have this morning been uplifted by helicopters on to the higher resort slopes. Just food for thought ! Early winter ?

C

How you doing in those lovely early snowy alps.

Someone told me the French are not opening any ski resorts in the Alps this winter.

Not sure how true that is as to busy to check it.

So on reading the snow cannons being moved into place they think they will be able to ski this winter??

It’s been an enjoyable summer from a weather perspective because it has been so varied - it’s basically been unsettled ever since June !

Your not that far away from here but the difference is amazing.

You say unsettled there, here grasslands are like deserts, well they are starting to green up now after the last few days.

However I would say drought conditions here for most of the summer.

Hopefully fresher than the 90% - 100% humidity Arome is suggesting for some this evening Seaside!

NMM generally supportive of the Arome forecast for the heavy stuff later, although not such a clearly defined band of precip and the east coast missing out. This from 13.00 through to 22.00:

Yes they have been forming south and north and west of where I am here.
Nothing like the Shoeburyness rain shield. 

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards]

This weather really go and do one.

Its been 19/20c for about 48 hours now, its foul damp ish humid cloudy we missed almost all of the heavy rain/showers/thunderstorms bar yesterday morning for a bit.

Noticed Writtle had 50mm rain yesterday, not here.

Much prefer the good old fashioned hot weather followed by total breakdown with fresher weather coming in behind and then maybe starting up again, but this yuuukkkkkk

Whilst I've enjoyed the sun, heat and storms of the last week or more, the weather seems stuck in a bit of a rut atm and personally speaking I'm looking forward to the change in weather type forecast for the end of the coming week with fresher, windier weather off the Atlantic. Here's the GFS take on 500hPa, wind and rain for next Friday 21st Aug:

Back to yesterday and it was a funny old day with a mix of grey, drizzly drabness and then heavy thundery rain breaking out for some later. Here's how the Netweather hi res radar calculated the rainfall totals and it confirms the storms in North Kent, London area and Essex:

Finally, what's likely for today? Arome model suggests a band of heavy, thundery showers moving up through the Region. Here's the sequence from 14.00 until 22.00:

Charts from Meteociel: http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/

 

However will the fresher weather actually  be fresher with moist humid south westerlies at 23/24c.

LIkely to be just as bad but a least a fair breeze.

That rain band/showers you showed on Arome is nothing like the MO radar forecast.

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion Sept 2019 onwards]

MO already had loads storms breaking out by now.

Latest radar shows nothing and sat pics show very little proper cloud.

Are they delayed or are the dynamics not working for them.

Almost 1000 people have died every year in 2018 and 2019 as a direct result of heatwaves in the UK. That doesn’t include all the hospital admission due to respiratory issues. That means as we speak people are dying from this heatwave. It’ll be a bit difficult for them to get used to it.

 It’s easy to be flippant when it’s perceived to be a week of hot weather and we’ll be back to rain soon enough. For some this is life or death. For the majority such as us it’s a temporary discomfort.

Spending time with the elderly and vulnerable you see it all too often in this type of set up.

Just saying that there’s a side to every argument   

(sorry to be a debbie downer as they say but seeing it first hand makes me a little passionate about it - that’s why I bang on about air con to anyone who’s suffering) 

Its the best thing to have, the units do hot, cold and just blowing air so multi purpose and very efficient.

I suffer from the heat days and have to work out in it a lot, nothing better than coming back into cool air to get your core body temp down and lovely nights sleep.

Thats a very interesting stat there, 1000 every year die due to heatwaves, brings into perspective the current few deaths of a certain thing going around this summer.
