Autumn 2024 Moans, ramps and banter

[SunnyG]

 RJBingham Hopefully a 2-day blip over here, with no snow and lots of sunshine.

 

[SunnyG]

 jackpunch It's not helped by the actual models being hyperbole-driven rather than more cautious as I assume they were before the internet/AI era...

[LetItSnow]

Can’t wait ‘til this spell is over to be honest. Bring me some substantial cold and snow or be gone. -10C upper easterlies (at the very least) will do nicely.

[cheeky_monkey]

 Petorious i feel positively sick when i see snow and -30c starting to show up like it is this morning

 LetItSnow I stained glass windowing agree. I need prozac. I'm fed up of this country.

[HarvSlugger]

Can someone tell me why ukv is absolutely awful with showers and just general low pressures,just look at the difference compared to live radar, I've always known ukv to underestimate precipitation by miles! But this is ridiculous for a high res model awful, no one can change my opinion I've seen it time and time again, look below and see for yourself

Ukv looks nothing like the radar!

Couldn't predict a few hrs ahead...

Next weekend looks awful

Previous GFS runs took the low across to the east of the Uk

It's joined the ECM now, forming a very deep low, that hangs to the west of Scotland instead

It's wet & windy for the Uk, with the mild air flooding all the way to Northern Scotland

Leading edge Snow, up North, before quickly turning to torrential rain

[SiGh]

Grim. Wet, 8c.

Oh i wish i was back in Fuerteventura. Only been back home 2 days.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

 SiGh did you used to be bristol Si?

[raz.org.rain]

Cold drizzle here as expected 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

 raz.org.rain same in London. My worst type of weather, other than if it was combined with windy.

If its going to be rainy, i prefer it to be mild. 

[MP-R]

 RJBingham I would say it has to at least be 4 days to class as a spell. Then again, I wouldn't class 4 days without rain as a dry spell so 

[Jonnoramo87]

With all the comments that with the cloud and rain being called “the weather that is 2024”, I’m guessing soon it will be “the weather that is 2025” lol

[In Absence of True Seasons]

 Jonnoramo87 pattern change soon

[chris888]

Heavy snow in Manchester

[Summer8906]

Strange model run on the GFS 12z, exceedingly wet for a few days from Saturday (perhaps enough to make this month wet overall, yet again) but then the Atlantic seems to completely die and we're left in a slack pattern which looks rather like a typical May setup with slack lows over France and mostly E-ly winds.

[raz.org.rain]

 Summer8906 hopefully settled, mild and dry.

[MP-R]

 Summer8906 Reminds me a bit of this:

There's been some decent gusts of wind here over the last few hours. It has been so quiet over the last 3 or 4 weeks, that its nice to hear the wind, as I have the windows open.

A toasty 13°C as well.

[simshady]

Well what a nice surprise to see some snow! Hopefully it won't be the last we see in the next few months.

One of my friends is Australian and this is her first winter in the UK - and her first time ever seeing snow in real life. She texted me like an excited kid this morning. 

For us in Leeds I think this is the 2nd earliest snowfall in recent years - the earliest was on the 9th of November in 2016.

[Buzzard]

BBC radar laughable again. Thought I’d miss the rain/snow looking at the forecast last night. 
 

How naive I was again. Precipitation way way more north and going to get soaked going to school with the kid. 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

So jealous of folk in the noth. Like usual, here, this cold snap is just manifesting cold rain. 

[Alderc 2.0]

Huge temperature gradient, just 2-3C in places like Bath and Bristol yet Yeovil just 25miles from Bath is 12C.
