With regard to the storm, people on the threads were saying it would not be as bad as the previous day at least for Wales I certainly said it, Tony H said it, and others did as well.

Yes Bobby pleased we missed this storm ,pretty poor weather forecast .I thought the shower activity is supposed to die down but we just had a impressive hail storm.

Yes J10 but we all got carried away by the hype and they were still promising 60mph winds this morning across South Wales.

A cold blast of air from Sunday ,it will be a shock to the system after the mild October

[Clair_Witch]

I love the sound of the blast of cold coming in. It may finally be cold enough to pop the heating on.

 

Winter can't come quick enough for me. I miss frosty mornings, the suspense of will it snow and just the cold in general.

[Panayiotis]

Well its cold out there tonight! 3.7C here in Cardiff!

[mikeocarroll]

Was 1.3C here last night, coldest night since June, but it looks like it will be a frost-free October. Looks like pretty standard zonal autumn weather to start November too. Would be nice to have a few frosts but we'll just have to be patient.

[Bobby]

Had a grass frost here, walking on white crunchy grass reminded me of winter.... shame there's no sign of it yet. Rain today, rain tomorrow, rain Friday, Saturday etc etc.

[keithlucky]

A low will sweep across the UK dragging in a N Westerly becoming Northerly wind from the 3th to the 5 th of November with our first cold feeling days in November.

Air frost last night min - 0.5c bit of a surprise.

[welshgritter]

Any one got any forecasts for this coming winter?

[Panayiotis]

My confidence on a cold March is quite high, CFS consistently showing the month as being colder than average. January 2013 was consistently being shown as cold from around November (if I remember correctly), and the CFS was proven correct with snow and cold arriving midmonth. 

Im going for colder conditions from mid month November and start of January but my confidence is much lower with these predictions. 

 

PS: Ice built up on the cars on Tuesday with a low of 1C here in Cardiff.

I saw that and I was like shovel ready haha!!! Let those snow charts roll!!

[Panayiotis]

Warning for strong winds across Wales tomorrow has been issued!

[mikeocarroll]

Yes windy this afternoon/evening, and then very wet (again) tomorrow evening

 

 

That will be feeling pretty cold as well, generally horrible. May be some wintriness on the tops of the Brecons especially in the heavier downpours, there often seems to be in "channel low" type setups, even if upper temps arent that cold. GFS shows a very slight risk

 

[andymusic]

wind speed gusts are crazy up here at the moment and we've had the odd power outage too!  

[mikeocarroll]
