Absolutely hissing down, all the toads are flooded around Poole. In a store just now and struggle to hear others talk the rain is making so much noise on the tin roof.
I thought the toads would be ok in damp conditions (sorry it had to be done)

It appears that the Isle of Wight is a repelling magnet for any snow this cold spell
All models have snow everywhere else except the Island, its completely clear. Its bizarre.
When was the last time IOW got snow? always seems warm when i go there.

Must be MAD to go in to the MOD thread, it has 150users in there, and responses appear about every 20-30seconds, all because it's going to stop raining for a few days.....
LOL, I must admit I am looking forward to a bit of dryness

Saw that mentioned on the deep dive youtube video from the met office, I don't think it will make a lot of difference in terms of track for yourself now. Although I would imagine the exact track is now known in terms of north south.

Good Morning all,
Plenty of flooding in this part of the world, it was a wet bike ride into work this morning but nothing too extreme, I wonder what Henk will be like for the journey home.

So here we are the final day of 2023, for a bit of fun what do you think will happen in 2024 weather wise?
Spring - Cold and long before it starts to warm up.
Summer - record heat 1976 beating length a very dry summer.
Autumn - lots of mist and fog with average temps and rainfall.
Winter - Mild and Wet.
No science to the above just a complete guess on my part.
I would love to know what your yearly forecast for 2024 is.
Happy New Year everyone, I have really enjoyed the chat and banter through out the year.
Rich

I love you. Your a sweety x
Ahh just do what I did with my outlaws, they were being shall we say childish so I just went nuclear so they never got involved again as they didnt ever want to see me again, job sorted.
However it did have a negative impact when they passed away my OH didn't get an invite to her parents funerals which were kept secret!! (it would seem being a knob runs in the family) so perhaps not going quite as far as me is for the best.

Hope you feel better soon Beka.
Well we did have a clearance here, it was a bit too late for the orangey photo's but I had a moonlit sky for the journey home from work, not sure how long that is going to last. The wind is really gusting.

I look at that (rightly or wrongly) as part of the atmospheric heating effect from the sun. So during the day the moisture rises creating cloud layer returns even under the high pressure, but struggles to gain anything much more, not it has been quite mild also. Late Pm, there's much less heating effect so the moisture doesn't rise, in fact the clouds clear. Similar effect I've seen in chasing tornadoes. the early morning starts clear, both humidity and heat rise through the day, then storms and boom.. By early evening the humidity drops as the heat wanes, the clouds disappear. We had the same effect in South Africa with the storms there. Stand to be corrected in my thoughts, by those more knowledgeable.
Thanks I had heard of this in Florida, the heat and humidity builds before boom later in the day. Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated.

And I ready to be corrected on this:
Weather forecasters often refer to these grey and drab skies under high-pressure as anticyclonic gloom. This often occurs in the UK in the colder half of the year when the positioning of a high-pressure system allows moisture to be dragged in from over the North Atlantic Ocean, forcing thick cloud to linger over the UK.
The moist air, together with light winds, also allows the formation of fog, which occurs when the air temperature drops to the dew-point temperature, resulting in water vapour condensing into water droplets. These water droplets remain suspended in the air, but if they become heavy enough they will fall to ground, causing the drizzle and light rain.
Thanks Dorset, I was thinking more of the clouds clearing just before sunset as it seems to have happened quite often recently.

Nice to see a bit of sunshine this morning on my bike ride into work, feeling a little more chilly than of late but that is a good trade off from all of this incessant rain.
I am meant to be doing something in Tewkesbury tomorrow which is going to be interesting as the Town is near enough an island at the moment.
