Cloudburst

I feel that mid May will prove to be the first 'real' taste of summer but soon returning to slightly cooler weather towards the end, but the cet will be around 12.1c i think, due to a slightly above average month, but cooler days will out number the warm/hot days.

This wouldnt be it by any chance would it? http://www.isleofwightweather.com/

interesting Read Mr data Love those warm summer nights, where you could get up at 1am look out your window (west) and see the bluey glow on the horizon, ahhh :o

I wish i had my pc up and running to use glevel3, oh well! Looking good out there though, slightly jellous of the cape they have out there :o

Isostacy! Scotland used (we are talking hundreds of thousands of years here) to have a heavy layer of ice thus pushing the north downwards. Southern u.k however went up, therefore bringing large areas out of the sea. What we are seeing now is scotland rising (now that the huge weight of ice sheets have gone) and therefore southern england is going back down, the best analogy of this is a See-Saw. So therefore the effect we are seeing on southern coasts carnt be just down to ice melt completely.

Most Digitals are around £30+, but offer a few more features such as history. I have found a traditional for about £22, and does everything you need it too :blush: . here found a digital for 19.99, and its a mini weather station : http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/oregon_long_ran...hygro_baa898hg/

Hi mate, put simply theres loads, what type digital or traditional ?

How come the station IWW on IOW doesnt have a link but is on the map?

Yes, you can build an entire weather system from using this. You can buy all sorts of sensors that are quite cheap and update instantly. Something that caught my eye was the $33 lightning detector you can get, better still all of these devices work with weather display including the extremely cheap lightning detector. However yes, you do need to do a bit of DIY on the electronics but as i linked, you can by kits that come with everything you need. I am going to buy the wind sensor as tbh as i said mine updates evgery 3 minute which is worse than useless in a Gale scenerio or in a storm etc. I'll post here how i find set up etc, thanks for the interest.

Hairy Celt 1 gets my vote, excellent photo

Yes i would have thought so :blink: . I feel sure there was some sort of solution (water based) that wouldnt harm the plant but kill the greenfly?

My interent Explorer has also been crashing, even worse sometimes rebooting my computer without the shutting down phase. I think it may well be a new strain of virus sweeping the web, but i dont think its on this website.

Hi all, after looking around i found that you can build your own weather station by using Dallas 1 Wire devices that all connect into a box, which then connects into your PC. I already have a Weathwr station but the wind updates only every 3 minutes with an average, which is not usueful when trying to measure gusts. However i found this little gem: http://www.audon.co.uk/1-wire_weather.html You can buy any sensors you want, it alos comes with complete weather software and it updates around every 0.5 seconds as it uses a direct link to the sensor via a Networking cable. It also will work with weather display so i could carry on using my curent sensors bar the wind, and use this new one which has no downtime at all, its basically instant. Has anybody on here used them, and before i go and spend about £70 upgrading to it any information i should know before hand? Cheers.

Water Feature :blush: Thats what they always do on groundforce :blush:

Lets take the worst case scenerio in that the whole cap melts, the Salt water would soon get dilated, and instead we would have a 'cold water' mix, there is current evdience of the fresh water degrading slightly, areas of the stream. Ofcourse we wont know exactly untill it happens by which time it'll be too late anyway -Sad fact of life. I for one am going for this theory as it seems the most realistic in my view, but i guess that in the next 10 years we will have a better understanding of what dynamics and effects are starting to take place.

That was more of a 'if this happens, therefore this would result' statement, although i would say that projection would be about 250-300 years away. a 7c climb would certainly be disasterous to say the least! The gulf stream will eventully stop becuase of fresh water overbalance, and there is of course the laws of science backing this theory up. As fresh water has less energy it absorbs alot more before becoming self contained, where as salt in water can carry heat exchange fr alot longer. Its happening whether people like it or not, its just a question of how much of the polar cap will melt and how strong the current state of water can resist the mixing of fresh water.

i carnt really see global warming affecting our (u.k) climate much really. Rising temps melt Icecap, this shuts down the gulf stream. Our weather shifts to what should dominate at this Long Lat (i.e cold long winters, rubbish summers), but an overall cooler climate. Now if global temps go up by say 7C by the time the Gulf shuts off, surely it would counterbalance?.
