Winter 2019/20 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
ArHu3 replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Cold dry conditions aren't good at all but what happens in winter is that people cram together with the heating on and just all infect each other -
So strange, only a wiki article in dutch and german... Hellmann number for a certain period is the modulus of the sum of the below 0 degrees centigrade days. eg a week with average temperatures of -10,-10,10,10,10,10,10 will have quite a remarkable hellmann number of 20 but a very unremarkable 7.1 degrees for an average Koudegetal - Wikipedia NL.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Most of these minima years were actually pretty cold eg 81 ( = winter 81/82 ), 85, 86, 2010

If you look at averages alone you miss possible cold spells followed by warm spells, it's better to look at the Hellmann cold number

Overview of 2019 - thoughts and musings
ArHu3 replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I will remember 2019 as the year of the hottest day ever in the Netherlands, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees in my neighborhood. I don't remember any other memorable event but those 40 degrees were damn hot -
I've looked through all the known major warmings, many were preceded by a marked cold period (in my location, ie. The Netherlands) if the event was a displacement it was never followed by a marked cold period and in case of a split it was some of the times but not all of the time. Like we saw last year when a 3rd fragment ended up right over Greenland .

Worldwide Mountain & Snow Sports Discussion 2019/20
ArHu3 replied to J10's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
How's the snow in Tirol and higher up? -
EC has it moving towards Scandinavia and then probably to Siberia, which probably won't be too bad for us since it leaves Greenland open for building heights

Winter 2019/20 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
ArHu3 replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
For the past 2-3 weeks the different members ensembles of the various models each went in their own direction and there was no clear signal at all but it appears the MJO will emerge somewhere in sector 6(with a few members in sectors 5 or 7) with a bit of amplitude. We want the MJO in sectors 7,8 and 1 as they favour blocking in our region -

ArHu3 replied to Summer Sun's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
The models seem to have great difficulty with the Indian Ocean Ocean dipole but once the MJO leaves the pick up the correct signal again -
It's usually not coldest at midnight but right after dawn, there is still a lot of retained heat from many many intense solar cycles
-
this is yesterday's plot but the same problem is still current, because the different members of the ensemble go to such different sectors the average amplitude is low

After a forecasted rebound the 1 hPa winds are forecast to decrease again, let's hope this trend now continues (although in previous years it usually oscillated downwards)

EC has 1 hPa dropping very sharply back to mid November strength with 10 and 30 hPa following, to me that does not seem that we will get a strong vortex, strong vortices always seem to gain strength in the upper levels first
