South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 06/09/13 ------------>

[HammerJack]

nice, I've taken a slight stab at things.October - drier and warmer than average, perhaps the leading steps to a blocked Arctic, probably winds from a southerly quadrant hence the prediction overall.November - a lot of models back this month to be cold, also potentially average to above average precipitation. Perhaps the wildcard month. Maybe some significant snowfall.December - possibly the hardest to predict temperature wise. So I'm gunning high pressure over us, temperatures will vary widely, western areas might see above average temperatures, but eastern areas may be cold and foggy for good part of the month.January/February - The Steve Murr factor suggest colder than average months, but snow factor, not sure to be honest.

Thanks for the forecast Captain. ATB...

[Captain Shortwave]

hi captain

 

good one

 

i think everyone should have a stab at it

 

then if we save them until may we can compare notes

 

then the closest can buy a round at the next net weather meet

Sounds good, I think for us it should be a bit of fun anyway 

December and January look the hardest to put down at the moment. Models suggesting that November and February will be cold. Perhaps the polar vortex never gets a say in our weather this year which suits most of us on here

hi c

 

yeh that can stay away until may

 

i think a bit of fun can be had here as we know these are just gut feelings and a bit of model study mixed in (ok i use other bits but all experimental)

 

thats the beauty in here as we talk to each other and do not try for browny points

 

suppose i better go bed now

 

goodnight all

 

also still tipping down

 

anyone would think its autumn

Really getting going out there..?wind gusty and pouring it down!

According to the radar the rain should be leaving our area soon but the wind certainly was gusting all over the place in the last hour or so here and the rain was practically horizontal at times. Very Autumnal

[legrandefromage]

up... why? its far too early.

 

Off to Hope valley to ride around on an old bicycle with a bunch of other nutters. 

[Bluebreezer54]

^^ Haven't gone to bed yet Legrand......good luck with the bike ride though, at least it's stopped raining.

[Summer of 76]

Another wet night here with 14.7mm falling since yesterday evening and not too warm at 10.2c and to think a few weeks ago i was sitting in the garden. john and Captain S thanks for your forecasts, seems to go in line from what i am picking up around the various places.

 

I think I should soon reach 1,000 posts

[tinybill]

I don't even bother going into the model thread anymore, and haven't done for many months. It's worse than a primary school playground. JP's post in this regional topic are always worth reading and I really appreciate the work he puts into it. Beyond that if I want sensible and reasoned analysis and discussion of the models I now go to another website. which shall remain nameless.

 

It's still absolutely tonking it down here and has been for several hours now, the next few days could well see some heavy rainfall accumulations. Have a good weekend all, whatever the weather.

look like the weather will test  my  new  fence  later!

[Coast]

Morning local folk!

 

No too bad down here this morning. 10.4mm rain over the last 24 hours and the breeze has backed off temporarily. I think the SE corner will generally escape the worst of the first Atlantic storm of Autumn but the rest of the UK upwards looks in for a right blow tonight into tomorrow:

 

 

 

 

 

Better tie the garden furniture, shed, fences and Mother-in-law down!

Just grey, grey, grey here with little breeze. The only thing enlivening the morning so far is the flock of about 40 long-tailed tits hanging out in the tree just outside the window.

Morning 'Sis! Not much better here, I'll have to make my own rays of sunshine today

Just been on the phone to the mother-in-law and mentioned that,at first she was not impressed but when I said it came from a model thread I think she got the wrong idea and now Coast she wants your number

[Methuselah]

Been raining solid for about 12 hours. Who said we needed the rain!

[Heisenberg]

Morning all,

 

Grey and dull here this morn. Robin, how do you think tomorrow will pan out? Im meant to be going to Milton Keynes (Gullivers land) tomorrow for my 5 YO Bday. Am i gonna get wet?

 

BBC just said rain will be over this area by 2pm, but GFS says nothing until like 7pm ish. Whadda ya think?

 

Thanks

[Jax]

Morning

 

 

Well I got soaked yesterday evening, had walked to the next village to test a sky box for my parents and the "light" drizzle turned to heavy rain by the time I was making my return at 22:00, glad I had my decent coat on.

 

Rain finally fizzled out about 09:00 this morning, just in time for the fence to be replaced/repaired.

 

Dull, cool and damp at present and shed reports it is 11oC.

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning all,

 

Bit miserable here....not a happy bunny either after waking up early for my annual service only to get a call to say the gas engineer has stood me up (he's sick apparently) I just hope I can hold out until next week before putting the boiler on 

 

I think I might cheer myself up with some retail therapy now...at least CMK shopping mall is all undercover

Next week!

 

Not even planning to turn my storage heaters on till end of next month (at the earliest)

 

currently have the back door open and a cool breeze is wafting through the house (getting it fresh as the hatches will be battened down tomorrow going by the forecast).

 

Oh just a thought, no *all* of CMK is undercover (but agree most of it is, are there many shops left there? not been for a few years now, even if it is just half an hour away).

[Reefseeker]

We have the slightly opposite problem at our old house which we rent out - the old old wall at the end of the garden looks very frail and borders a public road and pavement. For 2 months we have had a trail of builders tell us it has between one week and twenty years before it collapses, but none of them want the job. So every time rain and wind is forecast we trot over to see if it's about to go over and fret over whether the latest builder to come and see it will be the one who will actually take on the job:(

[Boro Snow]

left the blue skies of the north east today for the dull overcast skies of ipswich, it feels no more than 14c at the mo, lets hope we return home later tonight with 3 points in the bag 

[Anvils in the Sky]

Grey, grizzly, gloomy, glum, grim. The 5 G's for describing today's weather in this neck of the woods. (Well, 4 really, as obviously I meant 'drizzly'. But I thought 'grizzly' conveyed it quite well!)

What an awful week!

[Jax]

Just had a red hot shower (no not rain type) and feeling rather refreshed now.

 

 

Outside however is still cool and damp, I am fast moving into  hibernation mode now as the weather gets colder and damper (hate the wind too)

[RUSH]

afternoon all
