    Thanks SB. When you say "strengthening" do you mean in an easterly sense?
  2. Paul_1978
    Very true - when you look at the AO forecast, NAO forecast, easterly QBO, the La Niña situation, as well at the Met Office longer range output, then surely it isn't going to be long before we start seeing some realistic eye candy in a shorter time frame.
  3. Paul_1978
    Interesting, but the tweet shows America - how about the effect on Europe?
  4. Paul_1978
    Is that still showing an easterly QBO?
  5. Paul_1978
    I read on Twitter that the current/predicted La Nina is east based. I then found this really old post from this forum with some thoughts about an east-based La Nina and the effect on Europe. Any thoughts on this anyone?

    I like this bit @Summer Sun: "Despite this, the risk of colder-than-normal conditions remains a significant possibility, with some of the drivers of UK winter weather, such as La Niña and the QBO, favouring weather patterns associated with colder-than-normal weather"

    Tag Steve so he sees it by putting an @ in front of his name, i.e. @Steve Murr

    December 1990, followed hot on the heels by Feb 1991, two significant UK snow events in one winter. You never know - the dice would have to fall right but you can't rule it out!

    July 1983

    Seems like that will have been a very sticky month! I don't remember it, but then again I was only 5 and a half in the summer of '83.

    What's "VI" Feb?
  11. Paul_1978
    The winter of 1990/91 would do me
  12. Paul_1978
    Same for me too.

    There's a lot going on there @summer blizzard - could you simplify it for us mere mortals? Many thanks

    There will be egg on faces somewhere if it does fall through. I must say it's taking an awful long time to transition. The announcement was made back in August 2016, and by the time the end of March 2018 comes along (end of current contract), then 19 months will have passed. Wonder why it's taking so long?

    Bit early for that

    It's not showing plus/minus temps - it's anomalies.
  18. Paul_1978
    Pretty much the whole world (well more than 75% of it is "above average") - is that so much of a worry. I am very skeptical about these type of long range outputs. It doesn't mean that we won't get cold / snowy periods that could last 2/3/4 weeks.

    S++t the bed. I'd pass out if one that big came in my house.

    Update from the Met Office on Twitter this afternoon to advise they have signed a new 6 month contract with the BBC to provide weather services until 31st March 2018, after which point they expect Meteogroup to take over. It's taking some transitioning this isn't it!
  21. Paul_1978
    And getting paid handsomely too I guess. I suspect if the Met Office are supplying forecast data in a non-contract situation then they are certainly charging an expensive rate. After all on the face of it it would appear that the reason the change has not taken place yet is simply that Meteogroup are not ready. For what reason we don't know.....but it's not the Met Office's problem! :-)
  22. Paul_1978
    Post of the thread! How many times did we have the carrot dangled, only for it to soon disappear after one or two runs? For me I will be looking no further than T+180 at the most, and also keeping an eye on the Met Office "longer range" 16-30 day updates.
  23. Paul_1978
    Yes, that's the type of animated gif I like!!
  24. Paul_1978
    This would appear to be a good thing? (If you are wanting to get a good start to the season for weather of a colder persuasion?)
  25. Paul_1978
    It wasn't personal to Anyweather. It's quite a few posters.... but when I'm on an iPhone and there's a few weather charts followed by a few animated GIFs it makes the experience of the forum a bit negative. I'm only meaning to be constructive with my feedback :-)
