    Whereas May 2007 felt autumnal after the summery April, and May-Jun 2011 felt like Sept-Oct after a sunny summer.
  2. MP-R
    Would that make most of May 2012 autumnal or unsettled springlike then?

    Neither is what we have now If it’s gonna be mild, sunshine wins every time!

    Must admit I didn’t expect December to be ‘this’ boring!

    I wouldn’t object to it so much if the inflated highs actually included the UK so we could get some damned sun. Would also be great if they didn’t miraculously vanish southwards in summer too! All too often we seem to get typical winter synoptics in summer and vice versa.
  6. MP-R
    Wouldn’t mind the benign setups if they were at least sunny! This endless bore blanket is so utterly pointless.

    Perhaps tomorrow will bring more in the way of sun as the high starts to sink south again. Looks like the best places for sun are those not close to the centre of the high.

    Dull as dishwater again today.

    Navacerrada. It had to close recently though due to ongoing issues including... erratic snow!

    If they want cheaper then there are some brilliant options in Poland and Slovakia that get great snow. Problem with snow in Spain is that it mostly relies on powerful Arctic blasts to get the cold well south. Where does that Arctic cold pass en route…? The UK! Do we get it… no! Why? High pressure over Spain!

    Haha how pathetic. The snowflake filter could at least replace it with ‘flipping’ or something

    A bit of recency bias kicking in I think but it’s true that, with boring and less extreme weather patterns lasting longer now, the so called ‘unpredictability’ of our climate is definitely lessening. You can now bet that when an unfavourable pattern sets in, it could last for weeks as opposed to just a week.

    You do love your stained glass windows!

    Turned into a nice afternoon here too after a dank morning. Could do with a sunny day tomorrow!

    Yes it’s interesting how patterns can repeat at certain times of the winter, a bit like the tendency for Christmas cold spells +/- in the late 90s and 2000s or mid Jan cold snaps in the 2010s. It’s about time a February one emerged! Anyway, winter base state tends to take shape around Christmas/NY and with that a slight improvement in conditions so fingers crossed. The sooner we lose the autumnal southwesterlies the better imo!

    Must be a Hampshire thing. There’s a definite uptick in sunshine past new year and the rainfall starts to reduce. Even some of the worst winters like 13/14 and 15/16 have followed such patterns. We really are in the rock bottom period at the moment.

    Happens. I went to Poland at Christmas two years in a row. Krakow was as you’ve described there and it was 14°C in Warsaw!

    The anomaly maps are indeed a bit dubious at the best of times. I guess the actual rainfall amounts have to be gauged somehow. It’s a tricky one as I wouldn’t class the 50-100mm range as particularly dry or wet (from a West Country perspective at least) but hey ho. No different to 30°C being shown as world-endingly red on weather maps nowadays… Anyway, won’t take the thread more off topic

    There’s as much wet (if not more) as dry on there. Being in the white zone, I had roughly 120% rain which is indeed wet. This is what a dry March looks like:

    Yes NY 08/09 was very cold. Ice days and mid minus single figures round these parts. I miss the days when a cold spell was common between Christmas and NY. This was a regular theme in the 2000s but vanished in the 2010s. 2020 was a welcome change even though it was useless in the snow department.
  21. MP-R
    2020 was a wet March though. The jet so turbo charged still that it took until lockdown to blow itself out.
  22. MP-R
    What a woeful table..! Interesting though that the dullest and sunniest places on it are both in the SW though.
  23. MP-R
    We don’t get gales like we used to round here. I remember some real roarers growing up in the 90s. Hardly surprising Ireland gets pummelled more than we do though I’d have thought.
  24. MP-R
    Indeed! I did manage lying snow in all 3 months though that winter so this month better pull its socks up!
  25. MP-R
    I’ve had low expectations for this winter all along too tbh. Average rainfall decreases markedly in January though so hopefully after a wet autumn and December (depending how this month continues), January onwards will be drier. Wouldn’t be surprised to have a 2005 style Jan and Feb if the Atlantic doesn’t give up.
