    Could be anytime late morning to late afternoon depending on where you live... will be staying home all day.. not worth the risk venturing out - good luck

     

    Thought i'd snap a pic of trees nearby - hope they are there tomorrow

    How has ‘the landscape of England changed dramatically over the last 30 years?  Where and how?!!

    Well... I've got a shed that I didn't have 30 years ago 

     

    probably won't have it tomorrow afternoon

    Can anyone help me please? A link to weather buoys with wind speeds? I mean a really good site not just xcweather but something more detailed? Especially right out off the SW.

    Click on the map for Europe and then a specific bouy for data

     

    this one's pretty good too:

    what's the relationship between wind speed and damage? is it cubic or something? so 80mph vs. 60mph is a vast difference?

    found this earlier

    looking pretty nasty out there tomorrow afternoon round these parts - I think the black line could be a predicted sting jet?

    Nope we still gotta go out in it!!!

    "Dear Parents,

    The BBC weather website is forecasting 70mph and 80mph winds between 8.30am and 12pm.

    Please take care tomorrow when bringing your child to school. We will keep the children in at breaktime if we need to and we will consider doing the same at lunchtime. The children's safety is always our priority."Thanks!!

    Make me wander what they are actually teaching the kids at that school !!

    Stay home with them on Friday  and send the school this pretty picture: It might make sense to them !

    In the unlikely event of our seeing any snow, it'll only settle on the wall!:drunk-emoji:

      and that's not just on the top of the wall, the side of it !

    I've said this before somewhere but if anyone wants to know what a 70 mph gust of wind is like... get on a motorway tomorrow (free of traffic and probably in the middle lane) and stick your head out of the window. And imagine that you are a fence panel, roof tile or wearing a loose fitting garment (-:

    One thing I have noticed with the forecasts for here, is the longevity of the wind speeds.. 9 hours of between 50 and 65mph being touted by the Met Office. That's quite something in itself!

    Not sure of the output time of this nor the location (maybe average) but the link illustrates the perturbations (variations) of modelled 10m wind speeds.. 

     

    I'm guessing that if anyone is a half pint full person you see this a possibility of nothing happening to affect any travel plans but if you are worried by forecasts then check nearer the time less than 72hrs (-:

    Two named storms in the same week... !

    My amateur, yet enthusiastic observation over the years is that it takes one storm to reset or send any model to a degree of less accuracy based on previous previous calculations. Taking into account of nothing really significant happening (apart from high pressure ) weather wise these last few months it's anyones guess as to what happens after this weekend. Love some snow but not with 70mph winds!

    As a few have said; it's a case of 72 hr max, watch the warnings, radar and tying down those loosely fixed relatives we need to worry about - oh and the travel thing - One inch of snow is enough to bring any county in the UK to standstill.

    Keep safe-er

    There’s a few flickers of life for coldies in the Gfs output today, albeit occasional and short-lived due to cold zonality but there’s plenty of mild zonality and my reading of today’s update signals the death knell of winter 2021 / 22…sadly lamented by a large group of friends and aquantances, may it rest in peace and the ashes taken to Australia!

    I'm guessing the ashes will only get wet (damp) if they came back

    Probably in time for snow come May/June, but then again it's anyone's guess going by the lack of observational model interpretation by even the best super human and computers these last few months

    Hi gang ,thought I'd post before we get shut down , 2hrs and no post , plenty of winter left , loads of frigid arctic Air ,loads of baps in me freezer ,Big fat blobby high pressure needs zapping ,bring back some zonal , this should be in Ramp thread , cheers gang .

    Like a coiled spring winter will come. This High Pressure has to give way to something unstable and perhaps cold this time of year to enable spring to happen. I'm confident for surprises.. all be it late and and when some don't want it (-:

    I have had one of these weather stations for 6 years now and has proved reasonably reliable. It's on the second set of rechargeable batteries in the sender which is up a pole on my roof. Occasionally the external temperature reading goes haywire. This morning when I got up it was reading 10C outside when it was more like -3C with freezing fog and a thick frost. If you leave it for a day or two it sorts itself out and starts reading normally compared with AccuWeather. I am just wondering if the batteries starting to fail again as it usually occurs when there is very little sunlight light to charge the batteries up? It means getting the ladder out to take the head unit down to examine which is a bit of a nuisance but maybe it needs a 3rd set of batteries. The rest of the functions are fine, just the external temperature the throws a wobbly.

    Has anyone else with one of these stations experienced the same problem?

    Yup (-: Try replacing the batteries with non rechargeable lithium..  Failing that it's the temp/humidity sensor playing up -  a web search will find a replacement for your make and model  - good luck

     

    could be one of these but you'll have to open the station up to find out for sure :

    Don't think in 40years +I've seen the Atlantic so dominated by high pressure for so many weeks in Dec-Jan. All the highs, ridges and hardly anything of note from the north, north west or north east. Lady luck not on our side I guess

    the GFS is taking the mick with this little blue arrow in the Atlantic.. pointing in the right direction  gfsnh-1-96.thumb.png.dccd56245ef6b9ee6b47e42afe69658b.png
