  1. I’d expect that to be downgraded to yet more cold rain nearer the time.
  2. Will be another cold rain fest for the majority of the UK population as things stand. Not cold enough, again. 850s too warm, again.
  3. They certainly over-ramp temperatures, and the language they use is highly irritating. ”Temperatures recovering”, “thankfully it will be milder” and “bad weather” (snow), are par for the course.
  4. Agreed on the concrete posts and boards! Bella was a bit of a nothing burger from my POV. Went to bed with the weather dry, it rained and blew all night when I was asleep, now it’s dry again!
  5. The Organisation’s 0400 update looks fine to me. Chilly, with snow showers mentioned. Would appear largely in line with the model output.
  6. Agreed. Been a decent summer here. It's simply madness, however, to compare the summer in Surrey with that of Northern Ireland. The climates of the two areas are so vastly different that it's an apples and pears scenario writ large.
  7. I made the mistake of venturing upstairs earlier. I’m now back in the garden genuinely contemplating sleeping in the shed.
  8. The air this evening (outside) is much more pleasant. Lovely to sit out in in fact. The soup of last night has gone.
  9. It’s rather like Jean de Florette in the eponymous film. I’m with you.
  10. Yes 80F in old money in London at the weekend. Will probably feel pleasantly cool compared to the current insanity. Mid 90s at 7pm!
  11. Yes a surprising amount of cloud over east London this morning. I suspect yesterday will end up being the hotter day although the satellite suggests a rapid clearing from the south.
  12. Summer is 21 June to 20 September in my book, set by the cosmos from solstice to equinox. This is regardless of what the Met Office says for calendar convenience. In any case, there is lots of time to go where summery weather is possible.
  13. Last day of summer is 20 September according to the cosmos. Plenty of summer to go, let’s hope it’s pleasantly warm rather than days on end of furnace like temps, which we are currently enduring down here. That said, late August and September heatwaves aren’t that rare, so I wouldn’t count on it!
  14. The stalemate this week has been pretty bloody good for the SE! I’ve been on an off road biking tour across Essex and Suffolk and have a good tan. Lots of sunshine around and some lovely warm days.
  15. You are just reading the model wrongly. It’s the Contrary Forecasting System: look at its runs then forecast the exact opposite and you’ll be quids in. (P.S. ECM looks decent for the south/east quadrant)
  16. Indeed, but that’s enough down here to give us nice warm days. Realise it’s not sufficient up north hence why I say it would be good to see it take control.
  17. Well it’s made it several times down here. Would be good to see it take control over the U.K. and give our northern friends something summery.
  18. We seem to have gone from a position where charts showing the AH nudging in at 6-day range were treated as cannon fodder to those showing mega-troughs at 9-day range are being treated as gospel! This is the WeatherPro app output for London in the coming days. Nothing noteworthy, but pretty decent!
  19. Ha ha – call me a misery guts, but when has CFS ever been right?? Isn't it known as the Contrary Forecasting System? Still, one can but dream!!
  20. Looking at those mean charts the 6z Op will be a massive cold outlier. They don't look half bad!
