London And The South East Regional Discussion Thread - Part 4

[Snowman31]

whats happened to the radars, just checked the met offices one and rain today and a massive blob has appeared out of nowhere?

[Mike Storm]

what the hell is going on with the radar? Are the northerners tampering with it to tease us lol

[winterfreak]

12m NNE from Hastings

-3.1C

54% Humidity

DP -11C

Never made it above freezing today. Time to throw another tree into the woodburner - heating struggling a bit on its own.

Same here re the woodburner. My wife lit it at 9.30am and it's been roaring away all day. It's lovely laying In front of it after being out in the cold all day!!!

Everyone interested (you guys i hope) should turn there central heating off over the coming snow period to reduce urban heat pollution, and as an act against global warming! Call it a snow day!!

NO we've had some awesome spells of snow these last 3-4years if it continues bring on the global warming

[Team Jo]

I've just noticed this too, my RainToday app has gone off, and upon checking it, there's a blob. A sizeable blob too.

However, both net weather radars don't seem to have it, so unless it's the apocalypse, I think we can assume it's a little gremlin. (I could of course be entirely wrong, it happens) - given the Met O have had trouble with their site today, big pinches of salt

DEF RADAR ERROR

[Hammer]

I just check the 5.30pm radar on http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/

And nearly fell of my chair re London

What happened to cause that?

[Jan_Bromley]

Hello Victor (aka Neil)

Haven't spoken to you since January last year. You look to be in a perfect spot for any snow

Jan

[Coast]

Yep NW Extra radar only showing something small over Rochester way

[Mike Storm]

ladies humidity is directly related. If both temp and dp are the same then we have 100% humidity and clouds would form!

[Paul Sherman]

High Pressure is playing havoc with the radar again producing Anaprop!

[Jan_Bromley]

On the Radar

Is that not the front which is expected to decay before it does the business?

Global warming wouldn't cause more snow...Technically and in the long run..It could cause England to be easily as cold as say some parts of Norway and even colder than that..This is due to the sheer amount of fresh water being dumped into the sea..Sinking the Warm currents that keep us warm..This won't happen over night of course though...

[Sussex Jules]

Hammer I have just seen that as well . Anyone in that neck of the woods care to take a little peek out the window and see if it's what we think it is.

Thanks for that Mike. But with this dry air we do need moisture? Is that right?

[Mike Storm]

^i think victor was just being sarcastic lol!

[95 Degrees]

Wonder what MO will do with rain on the coasts after promising afternoon runs, suppose their playing it safe just in case there are downgrades tommorrow, which is possible.

[Jo S]

My radar is playing up to,but would be great if it was real

[final dest]

the radars appear to be jammed.

[Marie]

Nothing here.

It would be hilarious if that was a genuine radar picture. There would be all sorts of investigations into how such a big and heavy area of snow could develop widely without warning!

[95 Degrees]

Already -0.5C, cold isn't hanging around.

Already -0.5C.

[Jo S]

I think they should refund us all,giving us dodgy radars :winky: lol only joking

[Marie]

Already -0.5C, cold isn't hanging around.

Im -1.5 just a little more inland then you possibly

[Sussex Jules]

I am trying to be realistic and understand that we may not get what is predicited but it's pretty hard when you look at some of these charts. BBC News 24 weather has just shown what looked like some snow showers down our way for Friday night.
