Fozfoster - there's lots on the solar minimum, and the theories that surround solar influence on our weather in the science forum area and in the climate change area - peruse at your pleasure and enjoy!

[Stratosphere Temperature Watch]

I have been following the solar cycle very closely for the last year over on the solarcycle 24 forum and with a very deep solar minimum we are experiencing is one of the reasons i for one was so looking forward to this upcoming winter.

I am strongly in the camp of very low solar activity = little ice age (LIA), colder solar system.

Who knows with a warming like this Europe and the UK could be in the freezer for several weeks.

If this is in the wrong thread please remove.

if what you say is true, come on ! i am glued to this thread, more info please

I would suggest that the stratospheric forecasts, especially from ECM, are more reliable. They are not bullet proof, nothing is, but the strength of this MMW has actually increased with time and not the other way around. The peak intensities have been forecasted consisitently for several days now. It is now underway, and still predicted, as chionomaniac says, to be a fairly unprecedented strength. We we have to see how or whether that intensity is matched, or occurs, on the ground...Like chionomaniac also, I have my personal suspicions :lol:

Edit as above! - (great minds..or fools?? :lol: )

does all this mean it will get colder here in uk mid feb? :lol:
