London & South East Regional Discussion

Good to see some people are getting some snow. Rock n' Roll!

[Southender]

Hi all, sadly I'm on my phone pretending to iron... What do the latest charts (18z gfs / NAE) say about the warm sector?

Out to T24. Dusting before midday for all. Rain south of N.Essex in the afternoon.

Hi i am in Kingston upon Thames. No snow here. What's the outlook

[Mark wheeler]

I agree Daniel. I remember when I was younger it was raining and turned to snow. For some reason I can't remember I went to a puddle and scooped my hand through and toy amazement there was snow within the puddle.Also on that occasion it had rained for hours before. Mid 90s in chessington

[abruzzi spur]

I'm up the road in Biggin Hill and there is no snow here....yet!

Scrat, love your sig

[SMU]

Some brighter echoes about to land into North kent-

John keeps me sane

Don't blame him staying away from our impatience during day

[snowbob]

Like I have said before we need to set up a John Pike fan club. What would we do without his nightly forecasts. He caters for multiple learning methods with text and pictures and gives an honest description of what we can expect. Others could maybe learn from his teaching method and evidence he provides.

couldnt agree more

Hence my post earlier

Jp is a legend in our region

And he puts a lot of effort in to his posts

We shouldn't let a few idiots that have just cottoned on to the cold ruin it for the rest of us

UKMO charts for thursday and friday.....

even if you don't understand the charts, they are what they look like.........

Anything forecast for the village of Bexley tonight? If people further down in Kent can direct the showers down the A2 - much obliged!

[snow freak]

unbelievable as it sounds I remember a few years back when it was forecast to snow but it started raining (quite heavily) instead and the ground was completely wet, then after an hour or so it changed to snow and it settled fairly quickly due to the snow coming down quite fast. I would never have thought that snow could settle once the ground was sodden but it obviously can, so I would never rule anything out. It turned out that we got a few inches of snow cover from that episode and it would have been a damn sight more had it not rained for an hour or more before the snow set in.

theres some very heavy ppn spawning out in the North Sea.

It also looks like the frontal ppn from our North West will hit London in the next couple of hours.

Heres a question - what would happen if the two were to meet?

That would result in our region being burried in snow :-)

I hope it does stall and / or produce a wrap around. I'm just going by the latest model guidance

It's a bit early (and very chilly!) for wrap arounds, that is for the summer Looks as though the streamer has arrived where it was predicted in eastern parts of Kent

[Snowman31]

So has anything changed regarding tomorrows snow? Thanks

[xlifeisasongx]

Just checking in one more time. Can someone confirm Hornchurch, Essex's weather, please? Sleet in the afternoon?

[Paul Sherman]

Yh I know, people should just watch things change literally 2-6 hours before any precip arrives now, it is not exactly going as planned this evening really, the band was never meant to be this far south at 10pm for instance.

Bluebell hill you say? ^^

*looks out of window*

[Biggin]

Anyone from Bromley on the forum? I understand it's snowing there as I type.

Nothing here in Coney Hall.

[bobbydog]

and most of the country!!!

Still very marginal, but the dew points look in our favour towards the back end if the afternoon

[Jayces]

Something for Londoners, I also work for Croydon council and we received the following high priority weather alert by email.

The Met. Office are predicting that there is an increased probability of snow from 04.00 hours Monday morning, which may have an affect during tomorrow’s rush hour.

Nothing secret in there so no issues posting it so fingers crossed.

I'm not waiting until 4 am though lol

[scrat]

Scrat, love your sig

Thanks dude....guess it's what we;re all hoping for tonight

[Southender]

Latest NAE says a dusting before midday for most. Rain for all after midday. All snow line is North Essex.
