ANYWEATHER

Cold here this morning with the temp getting down to minus 3.1 a short time ago, with current temp about minus2.6 with some lovely freezing fog! <_<

Thanks Mr Data. I remember that winter very well for various reasons, and the freezing rain event was quite exceptional in our area, as we were all expecting snow and we got that instead! My car was incased in solid ice , up untill then Ive never seen anything like it and the pavements and roads were lethal, my dad was driving a bedford rascal at the time , and that turned over on the icy :lol: roads! luckily he was ok! Ok, it was not the coldest longest winter on record, but when temperatures get as low as minus 27.2c in the UK it really is something, and I think that was the coldest temperature recorded since the infamous winter of 1890. It was a year of extremes, because that year it was a hot summer as well! :lol:

Long range forecasts are always open to riddicule . Why? Because they are never correct! With the greatest respect to the forecasts on here and the forecasters, lrf is like trying to find the door to go outside when you are in a strange room/house and your in pitch darknness and your blindfolded! It takes a lot of understanding and experience to put lrf togeather ,but as always its a "shot in the dark" just like it is with other aspects of nature and trying to predict the next move etc.I think the latest forecast from NW is about as good as anyone can do with such a long range. I know a bad workman blames his tools but in this case we can blame our models/tools [as often we do] and a good forecaster can have egg on his face from bad and inacurrate info from the models even in a reliable time frame! I think the latest winter forecast is "playing safe" and netweather are a professional team with there forecasting, as they are not like some other folks/media, who make sensational" silly" forecasts just to get ATTENTION!

Hi gmg and many thanks, been busy up to now and this evening but soon as ive got a few minutes I will follow your advice. best wishes AW.

I respect everyone on here with all those facts and figures on climate change/ global warming, but with all the books and everything else ive read to do with this im still not at all convinced by this theory! Ive heared so much nonsense over the years with climate change and because its mentioned so much/tomuch ,on a daily basis ,even if I did go along with this theory I think its been watered down by the media, and they have done more harm then good by barraging the public with there so called new foundings of our climate. :lol: Dont get me wrong, I like to conserve energy and look after the area I live in, its cost effective for one thing so I would say i do as much as I can to look after my enviroment...recycling etc, but whatever I do personally wont make any difference at all to our climate...we all have to join in and we know lots of folks just dont care. I think its safe to say that our climate is so complicated , that with respect no one " really" understands it, and its pointless making predictions for 100 years time , its hard enough forecasting tommorows weather. :lol: The more we get to understand our climate ,the more questions arise and it seems we have less answers .I really love learning about our planet and our climate, and in a hundred years we will have more questions and one or two new answers. Another point is that we have so much more data and weather monitoring devices today, and only a few years ago many places were not even known, so when people say records have been broken whether it hot/cold wet/dry its only recently reliable instruments that have measured the weather and its true to say that theres big gaps in the overall weather records even going back a few decades, so basing on what has happened in the past to what the future will be, is open to criticism. just like globalwarming!

Thanks mate, i will give it a try, if not I will post you!

Hi folks, could someone help me ,for instance to post an image or say a something from the models?? Ive tried, but with no success!

Thanks Mr Data. It was a great winter that one , and one I will never forget. I remember, and I was only 12 in 1981 that it begun snowing on the Thursday night at around 9pm and it snowed heavily all the way through to saturday and stopped around 3pm.WOW. Now thats what I call winter. Interesting to note that in some spots the temperature dropped the lowest for nearly 100 years, hope im around for the next one! :lol: After the snow fell it was thick freezing fog for about a week adding to the winter wonderland. I have a warm nostalgic feeling about that winter, even though it was damn cold, and a very special time in my life , one I never will forget. :wub: BRING ON THE NEXT WINTER LIKE THAT!

Very good read thanks. Wasnt minus27.2c recorded in Scotland as recently as December 1995? Well perhaps this winter will buck the trend and end up like that one!!

Hi folks, well it certainly feels everybit Autumn here in the Vale, almost feels wintry! Stats go to prove that with only 13.7c at best today with an overnight low of just 7c and current temps are only 11.6c at 16.54. Wind makes it feel very cold!

Yep, totally agree with everyone its very dry in the vale about 12mms of rain in four and a half weeks! Im a firm believer that nature balances it self out and after such dramatic rainfall this summer , its not suprising its gone somewhat dryer than average!

Great range of temperatures and a great day! low temp 4.8c and high temp 21.1c

A cool start Autumn like feel in the Vale this morning, with mist and fog and a low of 7.8c but a warm day maximum of 23c B)

Well at the vale of evesham weather station we made the dizzy heights of 25c for a short time at 15.34 !

Good morning, cold this morning in the vale low of 5.5c so coldest of the season so far, and looks like we will be seeing a lot more low temps in the near future with the weather as its now!

yep, not much changing in the vale, partly cloudy and current temp is 16.3c@7.36pm stats...... high temp 19.5c low temp 8.1c rainfall nill dew 10c wind 4 mph wnw max wind gust 19mph from the west barometer 1023.9steady humidity 68% THATS IT FOLKS! :lol:

All I can say, is if, Climate change or man made global warming is" fact "as the media would have us believe ....why is there such a great debate over it?? :lol: Sorry I cant write anymore , im gonna water the garden! :lol:

Weather forecasting is always open to criticism, thats the nature of the job! I do a column for a great local magazine but I have to put my weather predictions up to six weeks ahead , because they need to get the mag edited and ready for publishing etc etc. I always say that long range weather forecasts are about as good as a "chocolate tea pot" but I do have great respect for the chief forecasters on this site and others as well because its an almost an impossible task to predict what mother nature will do in a week or two,I find it difficult and there are a great many on here who will agree with me that long range predictions are very difficult, thats probably why the met office put there very long range forecasts as "experimental" I love reading the longrange forecasts on here and elsewhere, and a great lot of effort , knowledge, and understanding goes into these forecasts. I use metcheck and I do find them interesting and informative, and im sure there was a spoof weather forecast for this summer , but im not so sure it was Metcheck! even if it was does it matter??...... :lol: Anyway my take on it is that I have the upmost respect for weather forecasts be it short or long term and most of all for those folks who put them together its a hard job you,ll never please everyone or get the forecast right all of the time [by god ,people moan when you get it wrong and they moan when you get it right! :lol: :lol: ] but, you do feel damn good when someone sings your success in a good weather forecast! :lol:
