South East and East Anglia Regional Discussion 26th January 2013

and you all have appeared to have turned into cockneys!? lol

Gawd blimey looby, perish the thought.

Right I'm off to 'ave me pie, mash and jellied eels, then back to work cleaning chimneys!

See you all later!

Tom.

Don't forget double liqueur

With all this heavy rain about, are they watching the river wandle or the Bourne stream at the moment, or are those still ok?

The wandle is looking high

[Steve C]

It still has enough of a Northern arm in some runs from this morning to worry us along the South coast a little. If it remains on the same track or does drop further South, then the 100 km/hr gusts should be less of a worry. Hi-res stuff starting to come into the timescale and still have the South West in for some fun and games. Then will it transfer along The Channel to affect the South Eastern coasts??

06z GFS and you might lose your smalls in Eastbourne (always a possibility )

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it for sure. That GFS chart looks very windy for where I live too and the rear flank of the low is now showing for Friday evening, rather than Saturday morning, which seemed to be the case yesterday.

Oh dear look at my spelling that's an iPad for you, oh well u know what I mean the green bogey looking gravy

12z GFS out soon so we can see what latest thinking is. We also get the hi-res output at the 'time of interest' overnight so we should have a good idea tomorrow morning

Ended up buying myself pie and mash for lunch from Cockney's after reading this, mmm lovely jubbly.

Oh bother thought it might be, they've just dug it back up at wandle park too.

[Heretic]

Days like this make actually me miss summer. I'm in the mood for some proper sun and warmth now!

I'm always intrigued when you say "interesting" John. care to elaborate?!

[Steve C]

I guess JP's looking at the proximity of 528 DAM air to us, meaning a snow possibility. Especially with weather fronts in the vicinity.

Just for those looking for the relevance of the 528 dam thickness line:

Here's the Met Office guide to their charts too.

Convergence line

A slow-moving trough, which is parallel to the isobars and tends to be persistent over many hours or days. They are quite common in cold northerly outbreaks down the Irish Sea, affecting west Wales, Devon and Cornwall in particular, but can be found in other areas also. This convergence line can gives hours of persistent precipitation over very localised areas, whilst a few miles down the road it is relatively dry, leading to some heavy snowfall/rainfall. In summer the convergence lines are not as easy to forecast, but then can still occur due to sea-breeze convergence, and are over the land, whilst in winter they are over the sea.

This convergence line is on Saturday's fax chart, sitting over e/se

I know where you're off too.....

Nope....your wrong

But I bet the art gallery has never been so busy !!

....... you might lose your smalls in Eastbourne (always a possibility )

That normally happens to me in Brighton

Beautiful day here apart from the breeze, it's quite nice to be back in double figures....it almost warm enough not to wear any

Ooh that's handy one to have thanks for that Steve have added that to my favourites

[Steve C]

A nice sunny afternoon here. It's quite a nice thought to me that the sun is still pretty evident, compared to even a couple of weeks ago; a reminder that the commute in darkness will soon be over

Here is a link for sunrise / sunset times, which I quite like.

OK, 12z GFS for hints and general direction:

Still windy but this could be considered a little less strong and slightly delayed from previous runs:

Gusts show up further down into France now as models come to grips with the position of the low:

Still up to 73 km/hr in some parts:

[Jo S]

hi,all,wind has really picked up here now

[HammerJack]

Hi everyone. Getting really gusty here. No BS a wooden fence panel just blew out as I was walking past it. Must of missed me by a foot. Phewwww that was close..... ðŸ™

[Coast]

Wasn't sure where to put this, it's not local and not really weather but it does have the WOW!!! factor:

[Reefseeker]

Very blowy on the western side of the M25, vans and lorries looking a bit wobbly and leaves and branches swirling everywhere. Super-gusty now in the garden.

[NO LONGER POSTING]
