sundog replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I should have said the last number of warm Septembers seems to be 5 yr intervals starting from 01 onwards. -

Still think that however much the teleconnections favoured a decent chance of a good winter,we were cursed by that very warm September. -

Straw clutching but it has often been said here that decent cold snaps or spells can suddenly be picked up on at relatively short notice. Maybe the 6z is one of those times........ Probably not but maybe. -
Model discussion: Hunt for cold - The start of 2022
sundog replied to Community Team's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Would i be correct in saying next weeks high is more likely to be free of cloud then the one before Christmas? Would like to have a few nice frosts at the very least. Been few and far between at my location this winter so far. -

I think a spell of prolonged cold weather is still very possible in the uk but fewer and farther between unfortunately is the trend of the last 30 odd yrs. -

sundog replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Taking the last 25 yrs , Septembers 98,01,06,11,16 and 21 were very warm ( correct me if I'm wrong). We will see how the rest of this winter pans out but I'm not optimistic. But the years I mentioned were all followed by poor winters ( though I think se parts of England got decent cold first half of Feb 2012). -

Model discussion - hunt for cold Christmas period 2021
sundog replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Not so. Going into this winter there were some like myself who were concerned about that very warm September. In recent decades it very rarely bodes well if its a decent winter for cold you want . Granted there's still much of the winter yet to go,but I'm not particularly optimistic. What the models were showing before Xmas and the possible cold spell, i thought maybe we might get away with it this winter after all. Well that possible spell imploded but anyway we will see what happens over the coming 2 months......... -
Ecm still owes us for 2012. Hopefully it's right this time
-
Great that the charts aren't way out in fi as they often are .. .....
-
Personnely id much rather cold frosty weather then take my chances with getting rain or snow with the Atlantic poking its nose in which knowing our luck would be rain (though I wouldn't want a cloudy hp either) . Anyway I'm sure this saga will continue for a while yet. Nothing is certain.
-
Would rather the Atlantic stayed out of the way altogether. Too risky imo.

sundog replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Wouldn't be surprised if perhaps this Xmas period and into the first week or so of Jan is the coldest part of the winter ( or one of the coldest parts),like what happened at times during the 90s and 00s.. -

sundog replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
If I was offered a cold frosty Christmas period I would gladly take it. Even if it meant little or no chance of snow . At least it would be seasonal. -

sundog replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Of course not garenteed that hp will deliver us cold but I'd much rather take our chances with that and see what happens rather then zonality.
