SNOW-MAN2006

today has been so lovely first a clear start but cloud soon builded to give partly cloudy conditions but with temps of around 15 its been gourgeous! cURRENTLY: cloudy light winds 10 celius outlook: rain

i think it will be pretty darned close and i think 8.0 will be my estimate with long watrm days but plenty of frosty nights

there is no possible definate answer to global ewarming if you all it yet. scientists have one theory, you may have another whilst i might have only a slight differ aswell. we have only got a small time frame in the world existance of weather patterns. # it is true that c02 is a green house gas but im sure that if c02 is the cause then mother nature would resolve it. there was a topic about an ice age wether it starts next year or in 10 million years but knowbody knows. the best thing anyone can do is recyle before we run out of coal and oil which all add to the problem and we can also walk instead of cars etc. the effect of climate change can be hot summers (2003) or colder winters than 10year trends suggest (2006) the planet has delicate balances and it will eventually restore itself but we kreeep adding to the problem by cutting down trees that take in the big polluter c02 so we could begin an ice age or we might notice subtle changes in the weather but im afraid very soon, if we continue the way we are going and ice age may become inevitable and global warming may be proven true... hope that has been a help to you and others on this topic SNOW-MAN2006

my march forecast has seemed to iclude everything that has happened but in the wrog order. i did forecast the scandi highs possile rebuilding at the time of our easterly and unsettled mid month so ill reviw on april the 1st with my april forecast beign released aswell with the review

the goverment are putting 1billion pounds towards reasearch into climate change

light winds and showers at 4 celcius

pretty basic forecast as per usual by the met office with little sign of a breakdown from them

partly cloudy light winds from north east 45% cloud cover outlook: ramaining this way through the day

come on warmer weather i want to be right lol but i think matrch is now going to be sugnificantly below average if my current thoughts hold true....

i think that the ukmo has been very good these past few months as from what i have understood from them has been almost spot on and i think that my forecast has been correct in ways as i did mention the possible building of the high but i never thought it would make its way across to us until the end of the month and evryone else has made excellentr forecasts too well done to everyone and with 13 days left of march we will see who's first month of spring will be correct.

Morning Everyone, todays current weather in Whitburn, Tyne & Wear: weather: Overcast cloudcover: 99% Temp: 5 feal: 4 wind direction: east north east wind speed: 5 mph barometer:1029.1mb Rating of weather today so far: 2/10 todays weather: Cloudy with temps of 8 celcius expected and light- moderate winds at times. SNOW-MAN2006

i think this years hurricane season will be one with few hurricanes as the oceans have let off alot of steam last year and unless we see record temps this year in the usa we can expect a bad hurricane season

the earth stores masisve amounts of co2 and i was watching something on the telly the other day about marshs and swamp and they hold more carbon dioxide thantress infact the swamps / marshes in the hills of england hold more co2 than all the forests in britain and france combined!!!! i think marshes will help reduce o2 but i hope it is not too late... but i do not believe in GW but i do believe we have some part in climate change when we are producing excessive amounts of co2 but if the earth was suffering then the earth would reset itself i.e. ice age so i dont thoink anything major is happening just yet

3 snow showers and 1 hail shower

moderate snow here since 630 this morning and a decent covering and snow begining to become alot more persistant and heavier. SNOW-MAN2006

here is my current monthly forecast: March 2006 forecast (publishing at 1200hrs on 1st march) GFS: i expect from this model the first week of the month to be a particularly a cold one. heavy snow will become a problem where the continuation of the colder weather that ended february continues. by the end of the 1st third of the month this model suggest a deep atlantic depression to cross us bringign heavy rain and strongs winds for a time. a mid month the weather will quiten down i suspect as a weak high pressure lies above the uk giving mainly dry weather (althoguh a shower cannot be ruled out) and also alot less windy than the week previous. i then expect a more mobile theme to take control stabalising the uk weather for some time. the scandinavian high is very strong at this point and may head for the uk later on in the second halve of the month but the jet is not in fabvour of this and keeps depressions in the atlantic ready to come in for a few stormy days. UKMO: from this model i suspect the cold spell to lasty alot longer than the gfs. it shows low pressure in the north sa and the azores high linking up with the greenland high to block any depressions that may like to head our way. if this pattern continues all month temperatures would remain low as northerly winds plough down the country but i suspect the block to be broken around mid month to allow something of a wet nature into the uk. ECM: very different to the UKmo and keeps the low to the south across germany and sends it east. unlike the other models (that send it north eats)this would allow low pressure to slice through a very weak block and introduce the uk to a very wet and windy theme for several weeks. once we become settled as the azores high tries to make an appearance. ( i have very little faith in this models predictions) overall: 1st-12th: this will be a cold- very cold period with lots of heavy snow showers in the east and west. high accumulations can be expected in the west as north west winds prevail. a weak attempt from the atlantic brings widspread snow for a time as it crosses. this will introduce slightly midler air altough not mild but it will be warmer than of late and any snow should be confined to higher ground, althoguh the ukmo keeps oit colder. 12th-19th: this will be a potentially very stormy period of the month. strong winds from the atlantic will melt any snow that is left and introduce a milder set of days. bands of heavy and persistant rain will sweep from north west to south east topping up resivoirs that may be empty. later on in the period the low presusre that cross us may begin to weaken and start to disipatate. 20th:-26th: this week is looking interesting. there could be a re-building of the scandinavian high. i suspect it may try to reach the uk but i dont think it will. i think a weak high pressure will sit over the uk keeping the weather dry fine and bright and with very little isobars there will be very little wind. 27th-31st: to end march i think the scandinaivan high will bring a last ditch effort of any colder weather before summer. i suspect the very strong presure may have several colder pools left and it will introduce north - north east winds so we couyld see snow but it is a very long way off yet. summary: cold to start with heavy snow before a slow transition into milder weather from the atlantic takes place. We then see a posisble drier end to the month as high pressure builds over us. C.E.T: 6.3 NOTABLE PERIODS: -begining of the monthas we see a north westerly blast - end of the month as a possible re-building of the scandinavian highbrings colder weather. hope you enjoyed SNOW-MAN2006
