Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter
Arch Stanton replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I agree, I've been thinking about this for a while too. Its yet more evidence that temperatures are trending upward; I also wouldn't be surprised if that 20c UK Feb figure will become more common over the coming years. -

I'm going to visit Lincoln for the first time this weekend but the forecast looks a bit dodgy; how do you think it will pan out? -

You’re right about London and comparisons to major cities on the continent, Rome being wetter than London is one of those cities which people find unbelievable. However, I’d be amazed if that were still true - in the last 7/8yrs London seems to have got a lot wetter, I’d obviously need to look at some charts to confirm this. -

Lovely as this sunshine & dry weather maybe, where are the April showers that used to be almost guaranteed every year? I fear this prolonged dry spell will eventually reverse (and balance itself out) and we'll be stuck in a 6-7 week-long trough at some point this year. There seems to be no balance in our weather anymore, well not in the South East at least. -
Snow on the Scottish Mountains.
Arch Stanton replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I'd hope / expect that a good amount of snow patches would survive this year because of favourable conditions that stretch back to December, with only a few very brief milder interludes in that time. From what I've seen the freezing level in the Central / Northern Munros has been stuck around 400m all winter -
So it looks like yet another BBC forecast for the SE from last night is completely wrong, patchy rain moving east fizzling out as it does so is what they said, well it’s steady rain now with some dark echos on the radar in the region, all heading up from France and not the from the west! Since their tie in with Meteogroup they’ve become very unreliable. Their graphics always seem to overemphasise snowfall too.

Temperatures at 1.7 now after an overnight low of -1.1. Just had a decent 20min flurry which was unexpected, so that’s 4 days on the trot where it has snowed here, I’ll take it even though it’s not what I had hoped for in terms of depth & severity. Ps it’s positively brilliant when compared to the mild wet dross of the previous 2 winters. Enjoy your streamers you lucky people IMG_0486.MOV

Winter 2020/21 chat, ramps, moans and banter
Arch Stanton replied to Paul's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Just watched the nationwide bbc weather after the 10pm news and their graphics showed widespread snow earlier today - all over the east & south east of England. The temperature at that time in my part of Hertfordshire was 5.1c and it rained all day. Ever since MeteoGroup took over the BBC weather forecasts, ‘a daily express effect’ has been evident in their predictions / observations no matter what time of year it is, their forecasts are the least accurate out there from what I can see. -

Some brief light rain in Barnet, Temp is 3c so anything heavy should turn more wintry
