South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 08/12/13

[Jason T]

Oooohhh Gritters are out.

[Steve C]

It was effectively sunny here all day, despite what was said on local tv forecasts earlier. Hazy sun during the morning fog. Clear blue skies thereafter.

And further to my earlier post, one last post for now.

Weather for now seems normal if anything a tad milder than avg, yes it can have wet days, windy days and some colder days, but AFAIK that is what we term "normal" weather for the UK at this time of year, so fear not. *

*I could be wrong

or there again you could be right, normal weather. Looks like we could have some rain Friday --illustrates JP'S point about FI perfectly, no rain forecast in the Country file forecast last Sunday. 5 days later and looks totally different. Edited December 10, 2013 by NorthNorfolkWeather

Just covering my butt in case the Jupiter super spot storm managed to nip over to Yarmouth next Thursday.

Yarmouth can cope with anything after last week's storm, just don't send it to North Norfolk

Aye Aye!

Agreed, but I then looked at the thread from lunchtime. Points scoring / little cliques / poor, poor analysis seemed to be the order of play until early this evening. Tiresome reading, that I just looked through, to see when it would get to the point of upsetting the moderators.

 

Apart from a few 'heavyweight' posters there, there's just as good analysis here and in the Strat Thread imo.

 

Edit. That doesn't mean the 'heavyweights' there are better than here, but they can add different perspectives.

Galatasaray versus Juventus in Istanbul.......Match abandoned due to snow, says it all really

[Tom Montalbano]

Getting pretty misty here in Chislehurst right now.

[Ruthie]

Evening!! Foggy again, and frosty. Rather crisp, despite it being London air!! Looks like could be some flight issues for se eng airports tomorrow morning.

Strange, as whilst it was frosty this morning, it wasn't really cold. Felt quite warm by time reached work.

[Reefseeker]

Another beautiful wintry evening walking the dog with our breath clear in the air, fog hovering within a few feet of us and frost forming on the cars.

 

The mayor of our nearest town in Cyprus - also our one-time gate builder and satellite dish installer - has issued a weather warning for snow tonight, and in Limassol, 30-minutes downhill and coast-wards from there, tonight's temperature is forecast to be 5 degrees according to my mother-in-law. Will check the Troodos webcam in the morning to see if the white stuff has delivered, although I am heartened by, as Chris101 says, the match being cancelled in Istanbul due to snow - I guess, just like us, they may lack some of the experience of Tromso or Philadelphia!

hi all

 

just a quick post for the mo

 

fax to follow soon

 

to follow on from gottolovethis weather

 

heres the pressure maps for gfs 12z ensembles

 

http://www.meteociel.fr/cartes_obs/gens_display.php?x=315&y=146&run=12&runpara=0&col=1&type=1&ext=1

 

if you look at the 16th

 

the mean red goes up and the white line goes down (the op)

 

thats why i still call fi on the 17th on

 

also if you look at the mean line that has high pressure in control right through the run

 

see the main graph below

 

 

so keep to the reliable for now

 

the low pressure systems are causing issues at present

 

could take a few days before we get a clearer idea of what happens next

[john pike]

 

heres the moscow ensembles

 

i bet their mod thread would be fun

Extreme fog here and currently 2.7c

 

Netweather forecast seems to be a bit off for tonight

[weathergeek]

Hi folks! Well the "dew" on the car this morning turned out to be ice and fairly chilly all day, if not bitterly cold but not what I'd call mild?! And foggy out there now!

I hope we get a sudden unexpected blast of cold and snow - not just cos I want it but cos it might stop certain people in MAD condemning us to "definitely mild zonal" ever again when FANTASY ISLAND shows this - clue is in the nickname folks

When never ending mild zonal shows again, i want people to refer to "ah yes but look what happened in Dec 2013!" Lol!!

Pma....!!!!xx

[Steve C]

Yep, well and truly foggy here too. Not that I'm remotely surprised, as we had clear skies all day here and I definitely didn't expect it to cloud up this eve.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Love weather like this.. No planes beautiful

[Eskimo]

Hull is possibly the most boring place to be for weather...

[SteveCoops]

Just got a taxi from the station home and it was crawling along at 10mph cos it was like driving through soup! Not nice at all.
