    Aye. Whilst there's been plenty of rain (Too bloody much!), there has been very little in the way of strong winds. Thank goodness. Rain and strong winds is just the worst.

    That's pretty much the climatic norm, with our coldest weather normally being around late January/early February. December is normally just a continuation of Autumn.

    An hallucination?

    Something I don't really understand is that SST's apparently point to a negative NAO but all season models are predicting the opposite. As one of the most knowledgeable posters on here, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on this.

    Even that wasn't technically a white Christmas for most as snow has to actually fall on the day for it to count as a white Christmas but most of that snow had fallen a few days beforehand.

    Incredibly wet since the start of June. Very few dry spells.

    I hope that model output is as 'accurate' as it was this time last year. Totally useless.

    The October CET anomaly is actually -0.5'C as of the 9th.

    It's been like that here since May. Horrendous summer and a dreadful early Autumn.

    In addition to my hatred of mild winter weather, the only other thing I don't like about my favourite season are the dark mornings. I actually like the dark evenings but find it really hard to wake up and drag myself out of the bed when it's still dark outside. In the summer I am wide awake by 6am because it's daylight, but in winter I am dead to the world at 9am.

    They all turned out to be completely wrong at the same time last year. I honestly couldn't care less what the seasonal model show. They have proven time and time again to be totally useless.

    It's been like that here since May.

    After the way that model performed last winter, I couldn't care less what it shows.

    Rainfall stats for Staffordshire, from Netweather. Comparing to the long term average for Stoke-on-Trent: June 196% July 194% August 105% September 172% ️

    Most of the time mild winter weather means leaden skies, rain and wind. It's extremely boring, miserable and a complete nuisance. I hate mild winter weather, with a passion.
  18. MattStoke
    A continuation of the summer and early Autumn for here. Utterly miserable.

    Such is the way of a continental climate, with large changes in airmass over land that you don't get so much in an island climate where things are moderated by the sea. It's still quite something to see!
  20. MattStoke
    That is quite something. 26 degrees and sunny at 2pm Wednesday, to -2 and snowing by 2am Thursday morning. Mid summer to mid winter in 12 hours! Then back up into the 20's to end the week.
  21. MattStoke
    I can't understand people who actually like mild winter weather. I understand not wanting disruption from snow and ice and not wanting to be cold, but mild winter weather is so mind numbingly boring and miserable and it's not even warm!
  22. MattStoke
    Another wet and miserable day. Turning drier this evening.
  23. MattStoke
    Given the way long range models performed last winter, I'm encouraged that they're showing a mild outlook this time.
  24. MattStoke
    I think the problem is that some people latched onto this and proclaimed it was a guarantee that the winter that year was going to be cold, which is nonsense because nothing is certain in weather and predictions are based on probabilities. The same way the papers latch onto the Met Office contingency planners and misinterpret them to create their headlines of a BBQ summer or freezing winter. It leaves people (perhaps unfairly) sceptical that there is any use to such predictions and parameters.

    Here July followed on from where June left off, August from where July left off, September from where August left off, and now October from where September left off. It's been awful. Absolutely sick of the rain.
