[South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 26/10/13]

Hi everyone,

 

Just woke up and I have to admit I was expecting it to be a lot windier that it is at the moment... 

Currently it was windier yesterday, has it missed here or is it still to come?

Rain alarm, first class self refreshing radar. Used it ever since it was recommended in here and also have it as a chrome plugin. Have a popup now saying precipitaion 5.9 miles away. Geek heaven

Hi,

Do you have a link to website I can get one from please as I could do with a new gadget lol. :-)

Cheers,

It's slizzling!

Same here, nothing on radar though.

[Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 20th 2013>]

Hi,

Now have about 2cm fresh snow but rather wet, hoping the temp drops a bit...

[Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 20th 2013>]

Hi,

Nothing here all day, the NW extra radar has been showing light snow over me for a few hours now but still nothing (not even 1 flake)

[Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013>]

No snow here last night, and MetO has also changed to us only having light snow from 3pm today (was light & heavy from 12 midday last night), wind has picked up though...

Some pics just taken outside, don't know actual temp as my thermometer broke. :-(

Hi,

Raining here and feels rather warm outside (with regards to recent temps).

[Weather At Cap Salou?]

I was there two years ago at the end of May. Weather was awful. Streets were literally rivers. Worst holiday ever.

Hope it's better for you.

Hi,

Well I do hope it's better, lol.

Guess I am going to have to sit untill about a week from the holiday before I or anyone else can judge what it's going to do.

hey! i'm also goig to salou for two weeks from the 18th. The general synoptic situation to me suggests that the mid atlantic ridge will be in situ for quite a while yet which suggests that it won't be too hot as there will probably be a northerly wind. It is far too early though to make any prediction.Thats my thinking anyway, but i hope there will be some nice storms.

Hi,

Cool, i'm hoping it's hot with some good storms, but I did read on my travels that the end of august to mid september is the best time for storms, but we can hope.

[Weather At Cap Salou?]

Hi,

I have booked a 2 week holiday at cap salou in spain for me and my family, however is it at all possible to let me know what the weather is going to be like?

Holiday is from 29th June to 13th July (2010).

I know it's a bit early to ask really, lol.

Mods: Sorry if I have put this in the wrong forum, please move it.

Very light sleety mix falling at the moment (nothing on radar though), most of the snow has melted with just the most frozen (shaded parts) still there.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 5]

Only had 3 very light snow showers (10 mins max) here, nothing lying and the snow/ice we did have is melting fast (grass nearly clear).

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 4]

snowing very lightly here now.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 4]

I really hope the wind swings Easterly so you guys can get a share of this Cold Spell!

Thanks

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

Just looked on the NW radar and there seems to have been some precip (sp) build about 15 miles my NE, hopefully it will make it here and take the temps down a little (please lol).

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

Hiya,

It's partly cloudy weather, Clouds tend to trap (some) heat beneath them. You are right in that there is some sea air in there, and the North Sea is about 6C, so air temp above it is modified by the sea, BUT, the sea track (length of time actually over the sea) and the windspeed itself also have an effect -- it's why Jan 87 was so good here, high wind speed, reasonable track, the wind picked up moisture off the sea, but was moving fast enough to not pick up too much heat.

So we could do with more wind then.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

Actually i think it's to do with the upper milder air pumped from the med , via europe and then across the north sea... Note the warm front on the fax charts?

Oh don't get me on the charts, I can never seem to make sence of them even though i have been here for years, lol

P.S

Thanks for pointing out the reason though.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

Could anybody please explain why it is getting warmer when there is a biting Easterly coming across? I do not understand this being a rank novice.

I personally think (don't hold me to it) that it is a combination of warmer sea air and the clouds, i think we could do with either moderate snow or no clouds to help keep the temps down.

However i am not 100% sure the above is true, hopefully someone with more knowledge will let us know, lol.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

Temp here reading 1c and going by xcweather.co.uk the dewpoint around me are ranging from 1c to -3c.

Also noted that the lying snow is no longer powder is more heavy (if that makes sence), better for a snowman IMHO, also the bits of ice on the bin are starting to melt (very slowly though).

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

I think the BBC are showing both the poor forcast and the good forcast, at least that way they will be right, lol.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

I'm not getting my hopes up with this one as over the past few days i've been let down to much, lol.

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

I hpe you get a foto like this one from the very top.

Good luck

Yeah defently taking the camera this time for pics (the views alone are out of this world if it's a clear day).

Last time i climbed it was twice in one day and once the following day when i was 14 then once when i was 15, but i am sure the path is harder now than back then (about 15 years ago), or im just getting to old, lol.

Temp now reading just over 0c (i'd guess around 0.3c) - should it be going up....

[3 Counties & Ea Cold Spell Discussion Part 3]

Hi,

Ben Nevis is well nice at the top, walked up there 2 years ago with my little one (he was 5 then), although it did take him a while to get there he done it. never got a pic though because i left my camera in the tent.

He wants to go back this year so fingers crossed we can (waterfalls should be very nice with this ammount of snow on the mountains).

Back to the weather: We had a very light snow flurry about 10 mins ago (nothing on the radar though), only lasted about 5 mins.

Temp is around 0c (thermometer not that good - soz), and it is fairly breezy now compared to a couple of hours ago.

[3 Counties & E Anglia Cold Spell Discussion Part 2]

Hi peeps,

Don't know how cold it got round here last night but we only managed a dusting of snow.

And the water meter on the outside toilet has frozen and burst (cracked about a 1/4 inch wide)

Hope the snow makes it this far north.
