    Wool area (Dorset) lighting up AGAIN today! Storm magnet
  2. ChannelThunder
    JFF of course, and we've got a hell of a lot of weather to get through first, but ECM is throwing up a record(?)-early plume at the end of its 12z.
  3. ChannelThunder
    So begins another year of near misses
  4. ChannelThunder
    Snow. It's not like we ever get any down here anyway since climate change really started to kick in.

    Andy Bown I've just spent 10 days in Scotland for my wedding and a break in Skye and other areas, and saw far more sun than down here of late! It barely even rained up there, and we climbed Old Man of Storr in sunshine!

    *Stormforce~beka* I've been noticing these weird, broken radar returns around Winchester for years now. I wonder what causes it?
  7. ChannelThunder
    Eagle Eye absolutely no surprises there. I've always said Lincolnshire is the UK thunderstorm hotspot (usually followed by someone who lives there claiming they get nothing)

    Dxnielwashere loads of Accas coming through today too! These synoptics would likely go bang late April onward!

    For probably the only time in my life, I'm going to be joining the 'coldies'. Getting married up in Aberdeenshire on 21st Feb and my wife-to-be would be over the moon if there's snow on the ground!

    @Stabilo19 I absolutely loved that 20C Feb day. It fell on my other half's birthday and we spent it walking on the cliffs near Bournemouth, hanging a nice cuppa etc at cafes. It was probably more like 16 or 17 as we were at the coast, but lovely all the same. To caveat this, I probably shouldn't be celebrating it, as it's probably one of the best examples of a warming world due to climate change that we've had.

    @LetItSnow! it's been a fairly well balanced winter down here so far, but only when compared to the last few! Yes, there's been a lot of mild and wet, but plenty of crisp and cold days too, especially last week. We've already used the log burner more times than the whole of the last two winters. If Feb ends up entirely mild, any trace of a balance will be gone though!

    It certainly sounds like there should be. Needles Old Battery is an (infamously) exposed location that, going by what I can hear outside right now and past experience, I'd expect to be gusting at least to 70 right now
  13. ChannelThunder
    Strange not to see The Needles on there, unless it's not included for this data set. Come on Isle of Wight, let's get those big gusts recorded
  14. ChannelThunder
    Seems pretty run-of-the-mill in terms of sort of storms we've had over the last few years to me. There are plenty of gaps between the strongest gusts here too. It even almost goes silent for the briefest of moments every couple of mins.

    Starting to ramp up a gear here. Rain and wind slamming onto my south-facing bedroom window. The best possible weather to fall asleep listening to
  16. ChannelThunder
    That's a pretty poor attempt by the UKV. Usually, high res models handle frontal rainfall with relative ease.
  17. ChannelThunder
    Recorded a gust of 41.6 on my new station about 3 hours ago, but nothing's even beaten that so far! I think it definitely under-reads

    https://www.facebook.com/iwmetservice Jamie (Russell) is also a member on here, can't remember his username right now though!

    Forecaster's nightmare, this low. Jamie at IOW Met Service is being brave enough to do Facebook updates explaining the situation, opening himself up to dramatic replies from those who don't actually read or understand the situation and expect their snow! I always favour the ECM over the others, particularly when it comes to the position of lows; so I'm about 80% sure this precip. will be staying in France.
  20. ChannelThunder
    Dare I look? 'Poor' pub run? More runs needed??
  21. ChannelThunder
    It can stay for a couple of weeks to let everything dry out, but then I'll start to miss my old mate The Atlantic
  22. ChannelThunder
    I get the feeling we're on the cusp of another February 2023-style dry spell. I may be very wrong of course, but if I was a betting man I'd say that's it for the Atlantic fronts, barr decaying ones, for the next 3-4 weeks minimum.
  23. ChannelThunder
    Areas of the Midlands are already past 50%, according to a table on ITV News last night. Looking at the upcoming blocking, it'd be ironic if after the first 4 days of Jan and the large totals, the rest of the month was entirely bone dry to the point where January came in under average!
  24. ChannelThunder
    Got my weather station set up now! There are live readings on the two sites available to me if anyone's interested: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IYARMO13 https://app.weathercloud.net/d4155825721#profile I'm wondering if windspeeds are being somewhat under-read so far.
  25. ChannelThunder
    It was possibly COVID, but our remaining tests are out of date and weren't working. It felt a lot like the previous time I had that, back in March. On the other hand it could've just been another nasty viral thing that's doing the rounds. I clearly caught it in the office last Weds; very wise to get everyone together just 5 days before Christmas...
