ANYWEATHER

Rainfall is going be the major concern for flooding. Tomorrow will be the day of the floods. Rain already falling over flooded areas at the moment, so some dire consequences for some later today and into tomorrow/Thursday. Wind of concern too , but in a smaller area , I think the wind forecast is not a done deal yet , but could well prove problematic later , short and potent spell of wind for some but in the most populous places…..

Probably not Different Synoptics! Remember the wind storm well , even though I was barely seven!

What is wrong with the UKV model? Gfs has been honking on about a swathe of high winds for southern parts ,tommorow afternoon ,UKV is not interested! .?

Happy new year to everyone and may it be a healthy and wealthy one! Yes both gfs and ecm have firmed up on a fairly robust high sitting just about over the uk as we approach day ten. Good news as far as I'm concerned as the monsoon rains have been fairly relentless since September! Plenty of frost and cold daytime surface temperatures along with freezing fog as well in some places. Not everyones cup of tea for winter weather, but I'll take this over wet and windy weather anytime , and it's a start ,at least in the right direction to make the weather feel very ,well ,January like!!!

Yes just noticed this.....UKV really makes nothing of it ,Gfs does. I'm going with the gfs this time ,UKV is awful, no wonder the met office info is not always accurate ,terrible model. Wants binning!

Look .....Winter is just starting ,enjoy the ride and Happy New Year.......

Is the UKV Met office for real...... Absolutely rubbish in terms of everything it offers on Netweather. The rainfall predictions are rubbish, here is an example. ...

Good morning folks. Well to add a Positive note to the last day of 2023, it's good to see a drying trend this coming week as we move into 2024 ,and a trend for much colder conditions. Without being picky, but too many people are looking at false summits/ horizons with regard for the chase of proper winter, and getting very deflated when there is another clanger in the works! As most of you realise, model output after 10 days is often fictitious, but I think we can move that to the maximum of six days at the moment! Looking good for the prospect of cold, not as some coldies would like it ,Re ,a 1962 style winter, but, how often does a Winter of that preportions come along, ? It was the coldest Winter since 1740! Expectations, can be a little too high, so lower your expectations, and then you may well be surprised and happy with the dessert in front of you ! Here are two Seasonal charts coming up for the end of this week, and even these charts are subject to change.!!!.☺

Yep, the Quasi Linear Convective System ,despite its elaborate name ,didn't live up to expectations PS, Squall line my Axxe

Yes often referred to a Squall line or Quasi Linear Convective system, these often form with steep temperature gradients either side of the cold front ,or where a dry line is......☺

Seem them lots of times when I've been to Pembrokeshire at new year.......

First step.......The Atlantic is going quiet by next week..........

Depends on what Pants your wearing though

Good old London clay. .....

Got to be one of the most wettest Christmas weeks for years here. Rain wind ,Rain ,wind, with one day (boxing day) dry allbeit mainly cloudy. Looking forward to the Spring now! How dare the water boards complain about water shortages if we get a dry hot spell! We have had enough rain to fill a hole the size of the Uk....

There's an old saying I was told when I was a Boy, by a lovely old Gentleman who died many years ago, and it's very true. "As the days grow longer, the cold gets stronger!" That saying is over a hundred years old now! So don't despair you cold fans, it's just past Astronomical Winter, and now we are going into the true depths of winter, and whilst the models are showing real ,deep cold into the unreliable timeframe, Winter has many weeks to burn.....

Thanks Matt. Yes can echo you're thoughts as my dear mum is suffering from that evil disease of dementia, and I have a friend who is dying in hospital of cancer another evil disease. Anyway, models look like teasing us with real cold only in the depths of FI. But let's embrace the weather what ever it is , and enjoy the ride of model watching...Merry Christmas everyone and a healthy and wealthy new year....☺

Grim ,wet overcast day for England and Wales, Christmas Day, although mild , boxing day gets more of a seasonal touch, after a cold start. Ecm paints the same picture by day six ,Cyclonic, and enough cold for snow at higher levels for the south, Cotswolds /Malvern / Chilterns etc, but at present no signs of major cold from the north or Northeast , but perhaps for coldies a sneaky cold spell coming up next week to ease the tempers of coldies with a little festive spirit ☺

Becoming Cyclonic during later next week, that's about six days away, if that does happen it may be a white new year in more spots ,pending how much cold air is wrapped around the low pressure system, certainly If these charts verify even higher ground in the south may see some wintry precipitation, I think this is about as good as it gets in the next ten days.....☺

Yes ,but it's the 06zźzzzzzzźzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, really don't buy into this Hadley cell expansion nonsense! Anyway, more of the same coming up, traditional Christmas weather to be honest, no sign as yet of any major pattern change but yes it will come ,it's not about if but when.!

Arrrr, it was the Summer of love for me, moving swiftly on to the weather, Violent thunderstorms in May and a hot summer to follow

Beautiful!
