Davis quality doesn't seem to match their prices at times. That reminds me I've got to tape up the usb cable connector to stop it prevent it wearing out like the last one I had did. Also lets not forget the blowing cap issue.
The Thermometer is now back in the screen with a new set of clips. These don't allow for movement. Never dropped in the other location so I will find out tomorrow.
Trying to work which model they are using as they keep going on about cold weather later this week. The only model showing anything was Gem model which has ditched idea now.
Brief promise of something brighter then cloud built again but staying dry. Not a cold day with temps just above normal after a mild start
Max temp 9.7C now 8.3C, Barometer 1006mb rising slowly, Wind F1 E, rainfall 2.5mm
Next Wednesday is looking like t shirt weather on Tuesday just below mid teens. Then rather cold Wednesday. The place to be is Scotland if you're looking for white stuff. Pity about that low that scuppers things it just needs a push south or further east.
While nothing is happening a report of Etna is sliding towards ese. I knew the eastern flank was sliding towards the sea but not the whole volcano. Impact well in our life time probably none although predicting eruptions maybe made more difficult due to the sliding action.
The general rule of thumb is for models to downgrade cold as it gets closer to the time very rarely do they upgrade. The last one was a very rare sudden change of mind at T120. The last time something similar happened was a failed beast from east which promptly disappeared at T120 from one to another many years ago.
Unless the models do a quick change of heart like they did for the last cold spell the next cold spell looks st.ill born as models zoom in on a low to the south west which keep us in warmer southerlies. Pity as I was hoping for a really very cold march. As it is it's looking we will be a degree or slightly more below which isn't bad considering how short the cold spells were.
The drift away from cold continues but now on GFS UKMO and ECM. I'm expecting further downgrades unless all the models do what they did with the last cold spell and suddenly change at T120.
Sunny Sheffield up to 2.8C -2.9C below normal. Rainfall 89.5mm 140.5% of average. GFS and UKMO saying no to a new cold spell out to t144 and the ECM also backing away from the idea looks like a steady rise on the cards. Even with the temps shown on the GFS it looks like we will come over a degree below average which isn't bad these days.
GFS continuing it's shift away from very cold weather shifting it generally further back north as a new low develops to the south west of the U/k and moves north east slowly killing the cold off eventually away from Scotland. So if it's right cooling down for only brief spells away from Scotland. UKMO more positive in bringing cold too early for ecm.
A mild day dry with sunny spells and one lonely patch of snow remaining from where the plough pushed some snow up. Poor little patch. There's more on top though.
Max temp 9.9C now 6.2C, barometer 1014mb falling, Wind F3 WSW, rainfall nil
