Costa Del Fal

I see your point but surely our average winter is made up of predominantly west or south westerly winds? Hence given even a slightly near normal winter, a good bout of west or south westerly winds which we should expect in this country should deliver cooler than normal conditions because the Atlantic is cooler and our predominant wind is from this direction hence makes up a large contribution to our average temperatures. Certainly however, those winds *could* make it Walter than average still but I would of thought as the majority of our weather comes from the west (I.e ~80% plus), our average temperatures are based a lot on this. Then at the end of the day, average is all the extremes combined. I suppose achieving true average is pretty hard. Things are always changing and different variables at play all the time To differing extents. Makes it all interesting though! Apologies if my post came across a bit sharp. I had a rubbish day yesterday.

Quite a nice day here actually. Not windy and some good sunny spells. A few duller moments too but all in all, pretty good.

Not on that link it isnt. Please could you make reference to charts closer to the now. The things you post barely ever come to fruition. Not meaning to be rude but there is far too much hopecasting at distant charts here. Keep it real and focus more on the near future.

I think it's quite easy myself to infer that he cold North Atlantic anomalies will the play the biggest role in the localised cooling in NW Europe.

Yes I'm sure it was abhorrent and terrible and probably left Aberdeen looking like a war zone. Absolutely awful conditions which were not repeated elsewhere. How stupidly unlucky Aberdeen is every time. Ridiculous and head bashing stuff. Lol.

It was actually cloudier here in the last week or two in that dry and cooler spell. The previous high pressure was warmer and sunnier for us.Likewise I don't get how some prefer damaging winds and cool wet conditions in summer but each to their own and I accept that.

I have been happy with the last 2 weeks too. Here at least it has not been cold but still dry. In the depths of winter yes very mild weather is usually fairly wet too but not necessarily right now.

I used to love all kinds of cold weather but is generally a complete nuisance to me. I hate pointless dry cold now plus spells that just bring a sleet shower or odd flurry. I do like snow when it stops everything for the day and people (generally) are at home and things go really peaceful outside. Lets hope no snow makes it to Failsworth ever again. Your town's unfortunate name might do you some favours. Lol.

It was bright after the rain cleared with a few glimpes of sun. Yesterday was sunnier for sure but today was certainly not just plain dull here at least. Otherwise, yes I would prefer the most sunny option. Nice to feel the warmer air if even just for a bit though today. It has not been windy at all here and it is still 16c now too.

Today was a lovely day. Bright at times and 17c. Looks like no cold weather due. Unless it snows proper I ain't interested so more of this please. Temperatures could start to become above average longer term if some runs keep up.

A beautiful pleasant day here. lots Of sunshine.

FIND ANOTHER HOBBY!!!!

Nice afternoon here. Some warm sunshine albeit not loads. Pleasant enough though. Looks dry for at least another week.

So far I'm quite happy with my 10.6c estimate.

I think it will be November before any meaningful rain reaches here. Very good chance high pressure may just form again after the next cell in the next week. Interesting how high pressure is renewing so easily right now. I do think we are entering a drier phase again and could last some time. I reckon El Niño has a good day in this.

No doubt a bit more can be taken off for corrections however.

Have you ever posted a chart not in the depths of FI?

Please elaborate why those charts from arguably the worlds best weather model are for CERTAIN not going to materialise? Is it because it does not suit your weather preference? If so god help this forum come winter! lol

Lovely and mild those charts. Unless it can snow proper, give me as warm as possible please.

Quite. The average temperature map on the wiki link above highlights this. A story of two halves if you like. Western U.S.A warmer than normal, Eastern U.S.A colder except Florida. Doesn't do justice of some of the extreme conditions witnessed at times though. Some astonishing stats such as Boston's record snowfall.

Still very pleasant in the sun though.

Yes with low pressure to the south it seems a bit hard to see why we can't be colder than normal. But cold typically tends to bypass in all ways possible unless it has to anyway!

Cloudy currently but should clear soon.

But the XC weather animation maps suggest the wind hasn't exceeded Beaufort 3 or 13mph overall today? Even with 'gusts' it can't be that bad. http://www.xcweather.co.uk/observations

How strong was it? Barely a breath of wind for much of the time here. We have done so well again.
