offerman Oh no, you mean, more rain? CC UK winters seem to be aligned to this sorta stuff. Whether you believe in CC or not, it's difficult to argue after the current winter failure, as none of the models were picking this up from a long term perspective. So, so much talk last November about a back end loaded winter for the UK, hmm....

Morning All, you can certainly see why the MetO went yellow and nailed it last night, with the amount of rainfall overnight/early this morning, exactly as the WXcharts showed from an ECM perspective, with 29.6mm here. A mild night with the low of 10.2°C at: 01:28, currently 12.4°C, RH97% with light air movement from the W, and mainly clear sky. From Above On Golden sands

Hmm, the local rag sugests the timing to be a LOT longer, based upon the MetO warnings posted which suggest: The local warning suggests: The yellow alert, which includes Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and the rest of the county, will be in force from 3pm on Saturday, February 17. It will last until 8pm on Sunday, February 18. That just looks wrong when checking the various models for local conditions.

*Stormforce~beka* Cloudy and cold here at just 12c A peak of 12.4°C at: 12:22, currently 11.3°C, still Tshirt and shorts weather, glad to be out of jeans and coat that I was wearing on holiday. Mind you wife says to me "Shorts and T's" I said "AND?". She thinks I'm mad, but, maybe I am. Annual attire Unless we see a beast from the East, so I think I'm safe this year, and next and.... ECM suggests little along the lines of cold.

Managed to scrub the patio today in the pouring rain, at least it's lifted some of the algae and looks a tad bit cleaner, next is to apply some proper algae cleaner in the spring once the rainy season eases, slightly. Which given the current suggestion of a technical SSW, suggests it could be a damp prolonged winter to summer, Spring may return next year.

Brrrr, init cold here? Back from the delights of Switzerland, certainly feels colder here, and we were welcomed with some light rain! So this week looks set fair for more Atlantic oopse, I have to recall all the so called folks saying winter will be back end loaded, yes it's mid Feb, but would you really call for extreme winter weather at this point with CC and El Nino, have not changed our local weather (ignoring the snowfall further north as that is usual in a British winter). Reading the various areas of reporting we seem to be heading to this: Predict a 79 percent chance that “neutral” conditions — the absence of either El Niño or La Niña — will be in place sometime between April and June. Which sorta leaves March open to whatever, and what of the summer! Being out of the country the last week seems we have missed the traditional large amounts of southern Uk rainfall, the New Forest is flooded wherever you look, and I have loads of buckets full to the brim. One point of note, it's not only the UK being affected by the seasonal warmth. The traditional celebration for the end of winter were moved in Lucerne by two weeks because the normal date at the end of Feb. proved last year that it was too warm for people to wear the celebration attire, face masks and clothing. It was noted even moving forward 2 weeks this year hasn't helped because again the temperatures were above 11C.

Meanwhile here, some drizzle this morning, which eventually disappeared, leaving a decent view of the Eiger, the peak on the right with cloud on the North face. More light rain expected tomorrow, but it's FASNACHT here tonight, carnival begins , canons fired at 5am this morning, marching bands at 7am and again at 8. Lots of folk dressed up ready to celebrate in all different types of costumes to celebrate for the next 6 days.
