Model output discussion - into July 2020
thestixx replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I'm heading to Pembrokeshire camping Friday to Monday -
Was 16°C and humid when leaving the house at 4:30am. Felt lovely! Now at a deserted T1 at Manchester Airport...

Rumbles of thunder in the distance over Bradford... Hoping one passes overhead for the first storm of 2020 round here -

thestixx replied to CheesepuffScott's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
No storms in here in Bradford all week, I could see the might of a Supercell over the Pennines on Tuesday though... It's been absolutely miserable all day here too. Dank & drizzly.. roll on Saturday and a week of -
Model Output Discussion - Into Summer 2020.
thestixx replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
If we hadn't just had THEE sunniest spring on record I'd be gutted, but the inevitability of this happening after such a prolonged settled period is to be expected. Summer will definitely visit the UK, there's such an abundance of high pressure kicking about at northern latitudes it will eventually sit favourably again, in the meantime, I'm happy for all the farmers & growers out there. -
Spring 2020 | Moans, Ramps & Chat
thestixx replied to Seasonal Trim's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Here in West Yorkshire, other than last week which was cool & cloudy, this has been the best spring I've witnessed in my life. The dry summers of 2003/2006 felt like the current pattern,where once HP became established, even though I remember the models at the time showing breakdowns, you just knew HP was gonna stick around... It wasn't always favourable in location (for heat) but it was definitely in an abundance around our latitude... I read the Accuweather summer forecast today and it doesn't sound like they expect this lengthy settled spell to last that long which I hope is wrong tbh... I'm hoping the reduction in global pollution makes the Azores our friend fot at least the next couple of months! -
Model Output Discussion - heading into April

We had a Yorkshire Tuesday night with an 11pm temp of 25°C. I was sat outside just enjoying the scarcity of it. -
Model Output Discussion - heading into April
thestixx replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Fwiw, I've been lurking on here since '03 unofficially, '06 officially.... There's a lot of high pressure about and it's currently the dominant force, I think it's gonna be a big player for the foreseeable!.. April was a pretty special month for sun & blue skies and the models are still showing an abundance of it..Have faith! -

If that cold spell was to happen, am I right in thinking it could be very damaging to crops? I remember my parents always worried about frosts once the fruit trees had blossomed? The recent spell of settled weather showed a breakdown to northwestern blocking but it didn't materialise, let's hope it doesn't this time either (although it's looking ominous) -

Lockdown with two kids without sunshine is bloody hard! I saw early May being touted for this a while back... Fingers crossed -
Model output discussion - hot spell beckons but then what?
thestixx replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
OH MY WORD!!! I've been avoiding the charts for a few weeks as I couldn't bare looking at the outlook! A scandi high will be just the tonic for the farmers ( and us) -

Joe Basta rdi was suggesting the cool pool over Russia would be sufficient to cause another potential plume event here with another trough over the Atlantic... Although the price we're now paying for that last event is thoroughly depressing. -

Yorkshire and E England regional thread 30 Jan 2019 onwards
thestixx replied to damianslaw's topic in Regional
Looks like the Lancashire got all the action this afternoon, looks like the storms heading over the channel and up through London will head this side of the Pennines.... Fingers crossed anyway. 33.7 in Cleckheaton today. Was gorgeous! -

This would be a very welcome 'breakdown' for the weekend... Still pleasantly warm... How many fronts will be associated with that low though? -

Countryfile forecast shows the high toppling over from the northeast and seriously suppressing the temps. Glastonbury looks like THE hottest place to be.. lucky for them -

Yet Paul Hudson on BBC weather just said there'll be a breakdown from Sunday night. Weird -

Realistically, what would aid that low in staying south and west? A strong high? Or would the coreolis effect eventually push it over us?
