Yeah my mate in Meopham got hammered today and they had snow for 3-4 days back in December.

I will say this though, the cold weather was better in December and January, because the air was drier. 
 

Now it’s that horrible damp cold, which I can’t stand.

Yeah ,it was colder for us in December and January than now .

This damp wet misty drizzy followed by heavy burst of rain has finished me off today .Roll on summer

The current charts are suggesting it might be mild next week, but not 20c.. thats unrealistic at this range imho

No charts are going out to March just yet, only some extended Anomaly charts and at this range are highly uncertain.

There MIGHT be a cold spell, IF, we geta SSW that delivers... many dont, like in 2019, instead we had record breaking warmth in February.

Ahhh I see , thank you for taking the time to explain.

No thanks, 20C in February is wrong under all circumstances in my opinion.  However, sadly it’s going to become more of a regular occurrence  moving forward!  Temps to breach a 100f yet again this summer?

Hi , are the charts showing it could be 20°?

( Very inexperienced chart reader here lol)

Also are the charts showing march could be snow and cold as some have said here that it could be ??

Thanks in advance

Not really it was a much weaker signal, these ones are steaper and colder, bring decent uppers much further south. Hopefully instead of diluting they sharpen up, and may be even turn northerly. Just needs the high to the west to move east a little.

So if I read this right and other charts posted I can wear my new Xmas coat soon or do I have to wait till next year lol

What a final let’s hope we can gain as much excitement from the ecm ready to trickle @ 12z

Was brilliant wasnt it, although did make us late for a carol service at the church ,they weren't impressed .(especially as we aren't regular goers)

Just need to finish the day with good signs for at least cold Xmas  and I will go to bed happy .

[Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived]

I would be quite happy with just cold temp for Christmas, it doesn't have to snow ,just nice and cold would be great

[Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived]

So as a complete novice as I have said before lol,I'm completely confused,mild cold ,mild cold and now mild especially in south east ,temp showing double figures (I could cry).

So if I'm following the charts and things you post it's mild Sunday onwards ,it's that right.

Thank you in advance for reply as it must be so annoying to answer such mundane question.

[Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived]

As a cold Lover and  a total novice to reading charts ect but learning a lot as I read these post ,I have to hold my breath before looking at the thread throughout the day lol one minute I'm excited it's going to say cold and the next a bit flat when it shows mild but as you say that's the weather for you. I must say it's absolutely bitter out there tonight so making the most of the few days left of cold spell until the mild sweeps in .

Thank you all for such interesting post even if I can't understand them all ,I'm learning though

Much better run this from the ICON and exactly what I was expecting to see as a further correction tonight.  T144:

Retains the low (marked black) to the south pretty much in full, result it pumps up the European high much less, and the cold doesn’t recede that much, before returning to all but the very south.

So the south east won't see a return to cold ?

[Model Output Discussion - moving into Winter]

I have been observing the forum as I am in no way shape or form able to make sense of any runs or charts ect but absolutely love reading what you have all written and have always been interested in the weather .

I adore cold weather in winter  and get very excited if it shows any chance of it . living in the far south it's been so mild bordering on warm for quite a while now, am I right in thinking from what you all have written that we are going to get something colder ? I don't mind if it's not record breaking but cold enough to wear a jumper and coat without boiling to death lol.

Many thanks for any replies and just want to say  you are all so clever and I really enjoy this forum even if I couldnt tell one end of the chart from another,although I do try.

Gfs 18z still showing snow for Thursday....

The question is....Will it happen.....? 

So that's nearly every where except me ,looks like rain for me ಠ︵ಠ

[Model discussion - hunt for cold Christmas period 2021]

Hope you had a great Christmas day. 

Hope this mild and rain shifts, it's pouring down here just imagine if it had been snow

I can  but dream 

 

[Model discussion - hunt for cold - Christmas countdown]

Hi, it all seems very exciting in here today but as much as I try and understand what's going on it makes me more confused than ever. 

So to an inexperienced chart reader is the cold hitting the UK as a whole or just up north or no cold at all lol. 

Thank you for your time 

Much appreciated 

[Model discussion - hunt for cold - Christmas countdown]

Can I ask a question please as you are better qualified in the weather chart readings than me. 

By the sounds of the posts tonight it shows cold weather is coming but why do the BBC weather apps ect show milder temps, do they not read the same charts? 

Thanks in advance 

[Model output discussion - Christmas approaches]

I don't understand the charts or the runs but follow this thread daily to try and learn. 

This has been like reading a a gripping thriller that you can't put down. One minute it looks like I'm going to get my wish for a cold maybe snow Christmas, the next it's rain and slightly milder. 

Who knew weather could have more twist and turns than a crime novel lol. 

Fingers crossed for cold weather

I’m no expert but i think you’ll be lucky to scrape 5c on Saturday 

Oooo I don't mind colder, just don't want it any warmer.

[Autumn 2021 - Moans, Ramps & Chat]

May I ask the experts.... 

Is my end south coast going to see colder temps this weekend. 

The met office says 5°c on Saturday which is so much nicer than the horrible mild double figures of late. 

Is this right

Thank you guys 

[Model output discussion - closing in on Winter]

Thank you for the replies, love this thread and the good sense of humour. 

Here's to anything that's in single figures, loveee the cold in winter. 

Cheers guys 

[Model output discussion - closing in on Winter]

I have been looking in on this thread for a couple of weeks, so interested in the weather but absolutely no idea what all the charts mean lol

So are we getting cold event or just slightly colder. 

I live in South East and forecast says 6-9 with rain. 

Very confused as I have watched you all get excited then not lol. 

Thanks in advance for replying
