Rainy and windy here, proper autumnal! Top gust 34.4mph.

I'm finding hard to trust any big authority in a position of knowledge and power these days when it comes to health. I go by tradition and long-standing knowledge that has not been monopolised or patented.
Might this be something of an appeal to antiquity?
I must say I'm somewhat glad of medicine. Without it my dad would die in a matter of weeks.
-
Another one, here, to add to the debate.
From what I read it says that this is the coolest year since 2000, but the 10th warmest since 1850.
-
Bizarre.. the GEFS is stuck again. It seems to consistently get stuck at Saturday 12z every week.
-
I thought it was a advisory and when a region or area is highlighted in orange
Incidentally I just stumbled across this detailed explanatory page on the MetO site. I'm posting it because it's not clearly linked on the site and chances are some other people here might not have seen it.
-
Just kicking it now, should be updated within about 40 mins.
It still seems stuck on Saturday's 12z.
-
I think the GEFS ensembles need another kick..!
-
Wow, you guys aren't half efficient! Ta.
-
Are the GEFS ensembles stuck on yesterdays 12z, or is it just me?

My completely unscientific punt : Temperatures will slightly above normal, but lower than we've been used to this decade. This and the relative mildness of the last few winters will lead to a public perception of winter 08/09 as a particularly cold and snowy one. There will be at least one period of heavy, wet snow in the SW which will cause widespread disruption due to melting snow and slush refreezing.
All the above is based on a secret formula that I can't reveal, obviously*. Any major newspapers looking for completely unfounded scary weather predictions can email me.
(*one part hopecasting, one part reverse psychology and a shot of projection from this Summer..)
-
Yeah, this certainly feels like an average, 'normal' summer to me. Maybe I'm just too old.
-
I imagine there be some potential for disruption from the winds given the trees are in full leaf and the ground is saturated? Even if the wind speeds are not that high relatively speaking.
-
Very nice pics. You were obviously a lot braver than I was. I ran straight for the car.
-
Feed is awesome!!!
Where do you find this stuff?
I have entirely too much time on my hands.
There were some spectacular shots of a couple of tornadoes a bit earlier, and I expect we'll see more soon. Utterly compelling stuff to watch.
Oh wow.. and there it is!
Are you getting any sound on this or just pics?There is sound, yes. Open it in Windows Media Player or equivalent and make sure the volume isn't muted (in the app as well as the mixer)
-
Live Channel 9 feed amazing stuff now :
mms://a1420.l4265535419.c42655.n.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1420/42655/v0001/reflector:35419
Already a few tornadoes.. funnels forming all the time.
-
Did anyone else just see the car infront of his skid off the road and into a ditch? I hope they're ok.
Yes, but it didn't look too serious. At worst they'll be stuck in a ditch.
Incredible footage isn't it? :lol:

Another live feed from KDVR in colorado. :
mms://a208.l2524322207.c25243.n.lm.akamaistream.net/D/208/25243/v0001/reflector:22207
And this is their live chopper feed, raw and unedited :

Edit : NW won't let me hyperlink mms streams.. copy and paste it into WMP, VLC or whatever!
-
:o No way!?
Typical. Dorset, Somerset and (a bit of) South Wales have no warnings at all for the whole period. Ah well.
-
Looks like the MetO have removed a lot of Western areas from Sundays warning map..
-
And indeed it looks as though an M-class flare is underway.
-
Yikes, as much difference as that is it.
Certainly puts our wee shake into perspective
This pie chart never fails to shock me. The three biggest earthquakes of the last century account for almost half of the total seismic moment of all the last 100 year's earthquakes.
-
A lot of damage reports on Humberside Fire Service's incident log, mostly 'dangerous chimneys'.
-
Can I add 'mush', 'dross' and 'rubbish'?

For me it has to be the Mesoscale Convective System over central/Southern England on June 24th, 1994. Here's a video I shot at the time.

I'm not quite sure how this is at all relevant to the appeal to antiquity. Could you elucidate a little?
Well if you choose to believe the ridiculously broad interpretations of isolated scientific studies made by the media then you're inevitably going to end up confused. If you actually read the studies that these stories are based on then you'll find they don't actually claim what the media say they do.
Hmm.

Edit : I've just noticed that this thread is in the science forum. :lol:
