Winter 2021-22 Chat, Moans and ramps thread
Portsmouth Sun replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
It's absurd isn't it. Each one to there own I guess, but reality has to kick in somewhere. For what it is worth not much in the way of cold has ever been shown to be coming to the UK. I can see a lot of disappointed people in the next few days. Xmas is likely to be a fairly mobile and mild few days with bouts of rain. -

Oh well never mind. I've a lemon and lime tree that needs a few more weeks of frost free weather to produce the perfect fruit for harvest. Looks perfect weather for this moving forward. -
Spring 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter.
Portsmouth Sun replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I normally grab a month at the beginning of the growing season to start my tomatoes etc... off as being on the south coast we normally avoid any late frosts, but this year has been a disaster. Last week a nasty frost killed off the new shoots on the citrus tress and the gale yesterday blew all the small lemons off. Having said that what fell out the sky was minimal and the wind today has dried everything out. -

That's very much springlike weather for the south of England -

What do you expect when you live on a little island exposed to the Atlantic at a northern latitude? -

Portsmouth Sun replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Agreed, 24c is not very inspiring. The general theme appears to be rather wet at times and cool. Nothing great, but futile to right off the whole of summer based on a cool wet week at the beginning of May. -

Portsmouth Sun replied to Methuselah's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I'm very happy to complain, cold frosty nights, chill winds and below average temperatures. It might be warm in a sheltered position due to the strengthening sun, but in reality temperatures are poor and below average. -

The much overhyped BFTE (watered down mark 2) had dew points closer to -4, whereas today the DP has been closer to -13, so much more conducive to something wintry. -

Fret not, someone on the mod thread will come out with a D16 chart to get peoples hopes up. -

Portsmouth Sun replied to SMU's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Generally not, hence why we are not currently buried in snow. Nothing like a D10 to get people in hysterics. -

Spot on. The coming weeks look mainly dry with periods of rain, sleet and borderline snow. Anything "banked" hasn't come off. Temperatures will be average or just below, but certainly no ice age. -

Fickle bunch on there aren't they. A lot of them were banking charts that would have buried us in snow already, now they are looking well into January for some snow. Funny old world. -

It's certainly a mad house in the Mod thread, they just won't be beaten will they. Never mind i'm sure a Narnia scenario at D10 will crop up to get them banging the same old drum again... -

Looking at this, everyone saying "bank" on the model thread look like missing out. We will have to see what happens. -

No, just having a belly laugh at how people clutch at straws. -

Oh my they are now chasing D16 charts in the model thread. -

Portsmouth Sun replied to Seasonal Trim's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I'd love to see half a metre of snow, just to see what Commander in Chief Bojo does to get the country moving again (apparently it's a nailed on certainty according to the model thread) but lets keep it real, the upcoming week will be chilly at times, with the chance of some marginal snow, but nothing out of the ordinary. -

You wouldn't mind if any of them ever admitted they were wrong and actually didn't have a clue. They are now looking for D10 charts (again) getting all moist with the thought of snow. -

Oh my, they'll be on the Prozac on the model thread. All those D10 charts they've been banking for the last few weeks. -

Perhaps not zonal, but a lot of people will end up with egg on face. Lots of people banking a D10 chart ten days ago are now banking a D10 for ten days times. It's a never ending chase for people and before you know it spring will have sprung. -

Model output discussion - Closing in on Christmas
Portsmouth Sun replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Because it's so far off it hardly ever verifies and people end up with egg on their face. Happens every year, be it hot summer weather or snowy winter forecasts.
