I think Gravesend might be out of the picture, I'm sure I read somewhere it had been dismantled! Shame if so, because it consistently outperformed the models in terms of heat! Can anyone confirm?
Well I will be able to give you my reading from the Downs above Sevenoaks Kent, we normally read very similar to Gravesend.

I was in Maidstone which I think is similar in distance from sea influences on a S/SE wind direction etc and it was 32oC so it seems a bit high. But you never know
It does, but we were definitely quite a bit over 32oC, we normally match places like Gravesend and Faversham etc when we get the heat.

Can anyone else in my area clarify anything like 35.4 recorded at 5.23pm Sevenoaks Kent?
From my Davis Vue which is normally very accurate, but would have expected others to have posted similar scores for NW Kent?

Just need the colder trend to gather pace. Not too much to ask is it?!
I think it's pretty much last chance saloon for any serious cold this winter. Days are ticking by March is drawing nearer especially when you are looking at Day 16 etc..

Lurking around here over the winter as I do waiting to hit the jackpot, I find myself very disappointed in yet another winters offering. From what I can see now its going to take a major shift in models to bring anything significant before we start looking for some warmth in March.

All I want to know is will I get to South London and back to the Downs at Sevenoaks before the snow hits tomorrow? Last year I got stuck on the Surrey hills, and it took me 3 hrs to do 10 miles. If I get back at 6pm will I beat it, otherwise I won't go ??
Oh and -4.6 here currently.

I for one don't really mind a less than perfect Christmas ,because the real prize looks like it's on the horizon.
if ,as anticipated,we have a stonking January ,I would like to thank all contributors to the forum,and the mods as it may not be a peaceful new year for them.
This is what I posted 9th Dec, and I can't read charts :
I am going to make a prediction, not based on charts but purely on what seems to be a pattern. The cold will be showing on the charts just before Christmas for around New Year, 1st week in January. Maybe I a imaging it but it seems to me that Christmas is just a week or so too early nowadays.

One to continue watching then I feel...
Leslie appears to just be going around in circles, She has been a hurricane twice so far, NHC themselves don't seem to have a clue where she is going, so I guess the media can do what they like with it.

Some of the live footage is incredible, to think that Micheal has formed so quickly, this wind map from HNC shows the extent of Michael's impact out as far as Cornwall in the UK, thats a bloody long way..
-
I see he is now a Cat 3 with further strengthening expected over the next 12 hrs..

Just a couple of days ago Michael didn't even exist, I don't know how rare it is for Hurricanes to form so late, and grow so quickly, he was a Cat1 yesterday, a Cat2 on last pass and as others have stated could hit as a Cat4 in less than 24hrs. I am no expert but watching these form this year via NHC says this one is unusual?

"we" cant control anything cos the we increases by millions every year, this fact dictates everything!
Humans are not responsible for climate change, it is a fact that the planets climate has constantly changed over time immemorial. The Doomsday book shows vinyards as far north as York in the UK indicating that temperatures were warmer a millennia ago. The question is, are humans helping that change? I don't know, I don't think anyone really knows, but for me the question is should be take the risk? My answer is No, we don't need to pollute so why do it.
Its interesting the diseal car was seen as the answer to lower Co2 emissions, and petrol seen as the enemy, and now we have completely reversed that? Our own government is worried about making less cars in the wake of BREXIT, it wants us to buy more of them? They want to build a 3rd runaway at Heathrow, these are all counter to today's IPCC message.
It comes down to will greed spell the end of humans on Earth? Probably!
The Earth will of course be fine as Mother Nature will simply cleanse the place when we have gone..

More likely they will be saving face when none of the other English or Scottish water companies are anywhere near to a ban, Yorkshire Water has 70% capacity, Severn Trent has 68% even some of Southern Water's reservoir levels are still in the 80s, so the wettest area of England needing a hosepipe ban says more about United Utilities than how dry it has been.
From what I can see Thames are reporting @80% which isn't bad and comparable with previous years. They certainly have questions to answer on the supply side of things, as the network simply can't carry enough of the product on high demand, which is their problem not ours. Their luck is all due to last winter, had it of been dry they would not have been the groundwater or river flows there to sustain abstraction.

Not sure where to post this, but the title does have moan in it, so must be close enough.
Can Netwether please replace that 'Feels Like' temp shown on the 10 day forecast to something closer to the actual predicted temp. For me today says 'Feels Like' 28oC about 8 degrees off reality - it drives me mad

In terms of the dry summer, this is shaping up to be on a par with 76, but obviously without the water shortages thankfully.
I would not be so sure about the water shortage situation, too early for the major water companies to own up. In 1976 it was government owned, which is a whole different ball game to companies protecting billions of profits and share prices.
Thames water are struggling to meet daily demand, they have low pressures and no waters across the network, their twitter is full of apologies. That shows the system is inadequate to cope with maximum demand, no matter how much storage they have.
They will be crossing their fingers and toes that the rains come before September, otherwise there will be hose pipe bans.
I have no sympathy for them at all, I cannot take profit unless I can supply my product, and I don't see why without any real engineering issues why we have to suffer for water companies to fill their pockets.
Dubai / Saudi Arabia etc do not run out of water ..
