While I wouldn't want dark nights all yr round ( not that it's possible of course) I find this time of Yr with near constant daylight a bit much. Just want to get to the 21st and go from there, that's the first psychological barrier. But 6 weeks either side of the 21st ,can do my head in, not so much the longer evenings more so the very early sunrises in particular.

Could summer 2024 see a 50c recorded in Europe? Wouldn't be surprised, as the heat will likely go up an extra notch.

Can I post the first winter is over post?

After weeks of a cold spell being talked up the whole thing has turned into a total farce. Forget winter at this stage it had its chance.

Getting rather bored of the will it won't it get cold saga, just rumbleson and on. That combined with the fact we are talking about March cold, I wont really give a toss at this stage if we end up with no cold spell........ -

The first half of the month wasn't bad here. The first half overall of that summer wasn't bad. Second half of that July wasn't great but I didn't mind. Don't like Julys being too warm overall. -

Thought it was a waste. If the cold arrived even in the first week of march that's perhaps acceptable but it was really towards the middle and second half of the month . If its a beast from the east like the first few days of march 2018 ,grand but that's as rare as hens teeth. -

Well the sooner the better, don't want some meh spell in March ( if it happens at all of course ). Would be a decent enough winter I think if we could get a decent cold spell in Feb. Cold spell first half of Dec, a cold spell in Feb I would consider a win for coldies despite the rubbish since the end of the last cold spell . -

Most people I know who got and or died from cancer have been in their 50s. Apparently the 50s can be a dodgy time due to hormone changes.... one never knows what the future holds ,but hopefully a decent cold spell at some pointvthis winter. Anyway happy new year to all -

Looking at Xmas day temperatures for London from 1840 -2019 , 42 of those yrs had max temperatures in double figures ( could add another 6 if rounded off ,9.8s etc ). I didn't expect to see so many. -

Jan really is like some bastardised autumn/winter month these days. I haven't had a decent cold spell during the second half of a jan since the 80s. -

Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived
sundog replied to Community Team's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Whenever we get cold spells and snaps during winter I think it's often the case of having to wait at least 2 or 3 weeks for the possibility of the next one. Hopefully before the rest of this month is out another will start appearing on the models. If I was a betting man I would say first half of Jan might be our next big chance.
