My fault I jinxed it by buying NW Radar!!!

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

Clear skies here too

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

I am finding myself glued to this computer chair

Again!

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

The sferic are only as accurate as the data put into them, I think IoW detector has not been calibrated recently. As far as I can tell NW detector is data from members detectors so if everyones detectors are slightly out of calibration the information when triangulated and plotted on the map the bigger the error.

Maybe Paul or Nick can confirm my suspicions. Until then i chose to only use it as a guide.

There is a chance!

Thanks

picks most of it up. Get nw lightning detector its DEADLY accurate from all the lightning stations in the uk

I'll give it a try, IOW one is rubbish, sometimes it seems ok, then sometimes not! Thanks

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

How accurate is the net weather radar for detecting lightening? If it is sheet lightening do radar's pick that up? Many thanks

I am guessing same one I saw too from a distance ..... was really bright and filled the whole south east of sky from my viewpoint! Thats all I saw didnt see another flash after

No not seen or heard anything since...lol that one must of used all the energy up

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

Started raining here too after big flash and bang to south I think

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

Can hear distant rumbles

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

Flashing in all directions, Mainly to the west now, no rain what so ever, continuous rumbling near enough

[Convective Weather Discussion Uk]

Big flash to the north too

What is up with the IOW detector, if only it was right!

I Think there is a definite pattern about America's weather and then ours, And would like to patent an idea ive had for a few yrs so wont go into details

We dont need to imagine how it would be for the UK to experience such scale of snowfall as per Washington for e.g.

2-3inches here seems gives the same effect as epic snowstorms in the US. no trains, buses, schools closed, panic buying

Being Generous hehe 1-2 inches more like lol

[London And Southeast Cold Spell Discussion]

lol @ deleting post.. More caffeine needed?

stratosphere forecasting I have no idea on but yes, That low would still pick up a SE-ly or Easterly

If we do drag the colder NE air towards our shores that would easily become modified over the North Sea

Theres some good height rises over Greenland too which would support Northern Blocking. Incredibly interesting time and would also follow suit with the recent snowstorms that happened in America. Seems a week or 2 after USA has something, UK follows suit (on a generally lesser scale id like to point out before this is seen as a snowramp lol)

lol Thankgoodness! Imagine if we had the amount they got!!

I keep thinking that about America that we seem to get their leftovers

[London And Southeast Cold Spell Discussion]

Cool we shall all have to wait and see

[London And Southeast Cold Spell Discussion]

WEATHER UPDATE - BBC LOCAL WEATHER CAROL

Canterbury to Eastbourne

2-5cm with a possibility of Double that tonight !

Cool! Have you had any snow showers overnight neil?

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

sounds a bit like me

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

Hi,

Models predicting temps of around 6-8 by Sunday so it feel less cold.

However some are suggesting the Mongolian/Siberian High (lol thats how big that high is!) may back West into midweek which 'may'

give us colder temps again...Not as cold as the previous start to this cold spell but certainly

back to -1 -2 by night. How long that lasts is up in the air at present.

Im just enjoying the current weather which I find great....fog, light snow, temps of between 0 and 2

:winky:

Thanks !

I love all this weather stuff all so unpredictive, it does what it wants and no one can change it :winky:

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

Is it defo going to warm up? How much confidence do you have that it will? and when are we looking at to see an increase slightly in the temps and dew points?

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

Could that head towards are neck of the woods ?

That is what i've just popped on to ask! lol

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]
