  1. Met latest updates inc sunday for wales Dont look at Emmas post Jay you should of moved further up the valleys grey day for us Outlook for Friday to Sunday: A band of rain moving east through the country early on Friday. Saturday cloudy but mostly dry but a few wintry showers on Sunday. Turning much colder through the weekend. Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Wed 3 Feb 2021 UK long range weather forecast Monday 8 Feb - Wednesday 17 Feb An area of high pressure looks to build to the north, and it will likely feel cold or very cold, especially in brisk easterly winds. Snow showers are possible across the country during the early part of the period, but most widespread and heaviest for northeastern areas. Drier weather to follow, with widespread overnight frosts, although wintry showers can still feed in from the east coast. Any organised areas of cloud and precipitation arriving from the southwest will not progress very far into the country as a result of the high pressure. However, they can bring the potential for widespread snow across areas where they bump into cold air. Patches of ice and other disruptive wintry hazards remain a possibility for all areas. Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Wed 3 Feb 2021 Wednesday 17 Feb - Wednesday 3 Mar Confidence is low for this period from mid-February onwards, but conditions could turn cold and dry towards the end of the month. Less cold and milder interludes are still a possibility due to weather systems arriving from the Atlantic. These systems could bring a risk of disruptive snowfall over the boundary between mild and cold air. Disruptive wintry hazards continue to be a greater than normal threat during this period, and snowfall is a possibility for all areas, but is most likely over eastern parts of the country. Precipitation amounts are generally likely to be lower than average. Updated: 16:00 (UTC) on Wed 3 Feb 2021
  2. As for the heating dependent on how well the properties are insulated, would leave the boiler on constant turn all the radiators on and set the temperature thermostat at about 10 degrees. Shouldn't cost a lot. In the industry on the design side for big projects. We did a trial on a new housing site where the heating was left on constantly with the thermostat was turned down to 17 at night and when it would be unoccupied, turned up in the morning turned down during the day and turned back up in the evening emulating a working family. Then we ran it off the clock coming on at 6 going off at 9 coming back on at 4 and going off at 10. Emulating a family occupancy. At the end of the trial the property who operated the the thermostat rather than a clock used less gas. This will only work on properties with a high rate of insulation. The reasoning behind is that when you heat a cold house you use a lot of power heating the fabric of the builder. When the house is maintained at a temperature it is quicker to warm up. Hope this makes sense from a rambling man. Try it yourself take a meter reading before you start off using a clock for a week then the same on the thermostat the following week. it is not entirely accurate depending what you cook with, and how cold it is outside, but it should potentially show a difference.
  3. Met still quite Bullish included weekend for wales Outlook for Friday to Sunday: Scattered heavy showers with brief sunny spells on Friday. Becoming cold on Saturday and Sunday with wintry showers possible and overnight frosts. Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Wed 3 Feb 2021 UK long range weather forecast Sunday 7 Feb - Tuesday 16 Feb Rather cloudy and cold across the UK on Sunday with wintry showers over eastern parts. An area of high pressure then looks to build to the north, and it will likely feel cold or very cold, especially in brisk easterly winds. There is a chance of conditions being dry at times with widespread overnight frosts, although wintry showers can still feed in from the east coast. Any organised areas of cloud and precipitation arriving from the southwest will not progress very far into the country as a result of the high pressure. However, they can bring the potential for widespread snow across areas where they bump into cold air. Patches of ice and other disruptive wintry hazards remain a possibility for all areas.

  5. latest long range met office quite bullish for cold and i am liking the battleground scenario as long as it happens above wales UK long range weather forecast Saturday 6 Feb - Monday 15 Feb Remaining unsettled for much of the UK on Saturday with showers and longer spells of precipitation, wintry in places, especially in northern areas with a risk of heavy snowfall. High pressure then looks to gradually build to the north, which will introduce cold and dry weather across the UK, with widespread overnight frosts, though wintry showers could still feed in from the east coast at times. It will likely feel cold, or rather cold, especially in brisk easterly winds. Icy stretches along with other disruptive wintry hazards, remain a possibility for all areas. There also remains the possibility of milder and wetter conditions fringing the far northwest at times, along with organised areas of cloud and precipitation making limited progress inland from the southwest. Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Tue 2 Feb 2021 Monday 15 Feb - Monday 1 Mar Confidence is low for mid-February onwards however similar conditions look most likely with high pressure remaining to the north of the UK, bringing overall colder than average conditions and below average precipitation amounts. Throughout this period the risk of wintry hazards continues to be greater than normal with snowfall possible for all areas, but most likely in eastern areas. There remains the possibility of less cold interludes occurring from the west and southwest, bringing wetter and milder conditions. In such instances, at the boundary between cold and mild air masses, there remains the risk of disruptive snowfall. Updated: 04:00 (UTC) on Tue 2 Feb 2021
  6. Thoughts are with you during this sad time. Lost my mother in law end of february, day before funeral we were told no cars (apart from the hearse) no flowers (raided supermarkets) and no vicar or celebrant ( son did it). then had my mother sectioned in october.
