IMHO if you "tweak" the time/clocks you can also "tweak" your life for that time, it *is* the same thing, time is not altered, you shift your day by an hour.
But more so it less affects the many that work outside of the 9-5 style work pattern, and there is a lot more of them now.
Think we should just accept the standard time and if the "individual" wants it different, then "they" can adapt to what they want, rather than the mass being forced to accept the will of the fewer (not minority), just adapt to what nature gives, because for all our attempts we cannot change the sun and the earth, we still get reduced daylight and consequencly more daylight as the seasons change, we cannot change that only in our minds.
hope that mad ramble makes sense?

do we have any comparisons from 2000s to the 90s?
Apparently its the quickest re-freeze of the arctic ice in satellite history (since 1979)
Hi C,
Do you have a link to this data ?
Thanks PM.
Try this link, they have data from 1978 through to the mid noughties

Many of us (myself included) would love to see a winter to remember but I think sadly also many of us (again myself included) find the horror of keeping warm and a waged income a bigger worry (or am I just being a pooper?)
-
After a dull, cold and murky start here in northants the sun came out *yay* ...
...Just as I left to go to the Herts game and country show at Redbourne where it stayed cooler and overcast most of the day (still a grand day out though)
Some dense and sporadic fog/mist patches out there this evening though.
-
The beeb with John Hammond I believe mentioning earlier that cloud tops expected to be 5-7 MILES in height (31,700ft .est) in association with the low.
That would make it quite dark under those if you got one
last time that happened to me was late 80's, a super storm hit on a June afternoon and day really did turn to night.
-
996 mb here and dropping at a rate of 1.3mb/h. No rain as of yet, but I think it will be here soon!
not that low here yet, but it has been dropping all day at quite a rate.
-
Hi all
Nine hours of rain here now and it still continues, not seen any "dramatic" amounts, just a constant one, yet to see the wind, that I expect later in the night/early tomorrow.
Think we could see some heavier boughts of rain then too.
-
sweet FA here again.
-
Was just saying yesterday that it seems we are already "drawing in", I miss the long days and being able to go out in the light late and see *nature* but I will add it does slow the weeds up a bit (but not enought that the buggers do not keep growing).
-
warm and dry here, if a tad breezy for a while.
-
Well another day and another storm free one for me, been in N.London, Herts, Beds, Bucks, and N'thants today and seen a couple of showers and not much else other than sun and some cloudy spells.
-
Took a trip to my nan's today just on the outskirts of north London and apart from one 15 min shower we had dry and often sunny weather all day, hell, whilst it was peeing it down on the ladies marathon we were outside doing the gardening and fixing a bird nest box, just goes to show what a few short miles can do. (as opposed to those long miles do
) -
I thought things would have started calming down by now, but the radar still looks quite impressive especially in East Anglia.
Whilst the current batch of storm activity appears to have moved out into the N-Sea, there does appear to be some more potential storms moving in over Wales at present, just now depends on conditions allowing them the "spark off"
-
After the shower activity to the north seemed to be dying off about 5pm, I'd written today off. Not had a single storm all year. But impressive skies now, watched a small storm develop to the south over Bedford, and mammatus cloud developing ahead of potential storm activity to the west. I'm fairly confident.
That afternoon burst gave us "quite a pummeling"
(only rain sadly).but did you hear the 2/3 rumbles of thunder from that latest cell to pass through?
In typical fashion it seemed to go active "after" it passed us

Hi
Interesting topic/idea, but then you have the issue of relation to information given from a person to person based on "the future", this is (excuse my poor use of language here but I want to imply the *idea* of my thoughts) that you can quantify the facts of events that have not yet happened?
prediction is difficult, be it markets or workload or whatever, so to take *facts* from a forecast/prediction and wanting "blood" for a false/wrong forecast is tantamount(sp?) to heading back to the dark ages.
perhaps forecasts needs to come with a disclaimer? like this is not a flotation device when handed a brick?
-
I would love to take some summer now, whilst extreme weather is fun to a degree it would be nice to see a few settled days/weeks and be able to enjoy the "summer" weather for once, I really need to be out and top up the image cache ready for the winter for my artwork.

Hi
After a rather damp day ( read that as wet, then wetter, got really wet for a while, then stopped at 13:58 as if the tap was shut off) it turned into a rather pleasant, if breezy, evening, temp around 17:00 was 17.4oC with some sunny intervals, now back to boughts of grey skies and drizzle, but out of the breeze it remains quite mild (in comparison to some recent temps), the cottesmore recorded mean for the area is 18oC, think this is optimistic for *this* area as I am seeing 17.1oC, not far out in truth though.
-
Nothing here. But I did just count twenty-seven slugs on the lawn!
Lucky you have lawn
Thanks to the damp I just have a few weeds and loads of moss now
-
Been chucking it down here now for over an hour, temps fell a few degrees (oC) too since the nice and warm avro temps we had earlier.
-
Just got caught in a rapidly developing monsoon, on a 5 min nip to the shop. Stair rods. No thunder though, quelle surprise.
Yup, been persisting down here now for over an hour. It was warmer and quite humid for a while late afternoon, that was soon banished as this front moved over us here, no T&L either.
-
I wish. Sustained cold is very unfavourable this side of the new year. So many factors stopping that from happening. Including a very strong PV which is one of the main factors making quick work of any cold that attempts to cross the UK. Basically any cold is likely to come from topplers, lasting 1-3 days before clearing, allowing milder uppers to sweep in.
After the new year, we have a chance.
Right, I have not been able to follow the models as well I should recently and saw today's GFS and did wonder. I agree that this early any sustained cold is rare/not always good but as you said we are seeing some "colder" spells now.
Watching the east, I see the cold is inching it's way over this way, albeit very slowly.
-
Long time no post (apologies for that), just checked out the current 12z and am I right in thinking we are finally trending to sustained cold? the "run up" thus far has not been cold lets be honest but the "outlook" is showing some signs of change, might finally put my Rowan tree to sleep and last week managed to pick a final crop of outside tomatoes.

I walk the whippets out past the A6 bypass and on the footpaths out towards Avenue Road and Yeldon. The condition of the ground is a good measure in itself of how severe a frost we have had. And it was still messy mid-afternoon on Friday, but frozen today. But all standing water, not that there is much of it, because its been so dry is frozen now. Woolies shuts tomorrow, walked past it yesterday on the high street. Looked grim. I'm up the southern end of town, and it hasn't gotten above -0.7C here today on my shed-based maplin-bought weather feed. Also have another outdoor temperature sensor, and that has become unreliable of late, but even that didn't get about -0.2C.
Typical that it might snow when everyone is returning to work in the morning. Thanks to bloody Peter Jones and "gotomypc" I have no excuse to work irrespective.
Not been out in the "sticks" so to speak, I can guess it has been messy though, we are not far from the Harborough Surgery near
the A6 By-pass, we have probably passed in the street :o
Yes woolies is looking grim.

(only rain sadly).
Have You Noticed The Reduction In Daylight Hours Yet ?

To me it really is a case of "why fight what you cannot fight", so why try and change *time* instead, nothing changes except you, but by that same token you have made the change for it (time). It does seem odd that we [as a whole] do this as I understand it the practice was brought in to help the farmers, but I may be wrong. It still gets light and dark when it does, so why faff around with it? I say accept it and move on.
