I think someone should tell the midges it is December ie. Midwinter they obviously don't realise!

 

Anyone get any weather gadgets for Christmas?

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Latest warnings for the morn.

 

Looks like I'm on the edge of amber for the winds.

Yep and my lidl weather station says its not got above 2C in my back garden all day. May be reading low though as the sensor is currently sat on the ground until I can get some sort of mast to mount it on. Best bet looks like a TV aerial mast attached to one of the fence uprights. However I do it, its going to be surrounded by houses so I don't expect the wind readings to be that accurate.

 

Anyway I've a house full of family so no chance to look ahead to the next storm. We'll take what we get but not expecting it to be to bad.

3 o'clock revised chart has the storm at 952mb

 

 

couple of wind gust charts

nice pic here of the wind streams from the storm for Friday morning

I know we have had wind and rain to deal with over the last few days and the days to come but some thoughts should go out to our southern cousins as there could be some real problems developing down there with water and flooding as you can see from kent here in these pics

 

 

and with other areas widely under flood warnings and precipitation forecasts not good for the next 5 or 6 days we could see some real problems for many and a good few people being flooded out over the new year

 

[Buriedundersnow]

4 o'clock revised chart has the storm at 951mb from 952mb at 3 o'clock

 

 

4:30 wind gust chart shows gusts of 47mph and 49mph coming into Ireland

 

 

there may not be any snow around for many of us but some nice pics from the people at glenmore lodge showing there is still snow in the hills and mountains

 

 

also a fantastic pic from cairngorm mountain of people enjoying the boxing day skiing up there

Afternoon all and best wishes,

 

Thats pretty hardcore down the road, great pic's but my heart really go's out to those people

They are seeing more and more extreme weather.. I think insurance companies have now started putting clauses in for houses being built at ground level, apparently a lot of new builds wont get insurance, they have to have higher foundations and a minimum step up..heard this second hand but this extreme weather is playing havoc....

Global warming / climate change, who knows....its just real sad for those people.

Think positive and hope they are getting the help they deserve..

 

Not much happening here,  2 celsius all day and crystal clear. rivers in big spate though!..looks like we are missing it up here to an extent anyway??   On another note here is hoping for some more traditional scottish winter soon!!  A question for anyone with time to answer,  what are the opinion's on exacta weather forecasting??  used to be free but think they charge now, they use the sun in their long range stuff i think ?

[over_the_rainbow]

Evening all! Hope everyone on the kilted thread had a lovely day yesterday!

 

Back in Perth today, but was nice to be in the Highlands for the big day and the girls were able to make this on Christmas Eve - 

 

 

Looking like we might escape the worst tomorrow. Feeling very sorry for our English friends with flooding/no electricity issues etc and hoping tomorrow doesn't make things a lot worse. 

 

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Bin day the morn.

 

Just put ours out.

 

Wished it best of luck.

I am posting the full atlantic chart and the UKMO, GFS and NASA for 7 o'clock

 

to me it looks slightly further north than it should be maybe someone else could tell me what they think

 

 

I will post these charts as well with the next two updates so we can watch it till 7 o'clock when the model charts are for to see where we stand

 

EDIT: had wrong chart now it is corrected

[Buriedundersnow]

Santa has certainly given the charts a shake!! Kaboom!!!!! Winter is at least showing up in F.I. now   I'm not long in from work so won't be posting up any charts until later

 

Edit: I tried to edit a chart back into the post but it isn't for wanting to work

 

I have been having problems with it today as well you have to go use the old uploader and can only upload one pic at a time.

 

get it sorted out netweather

 

on a good note for coldies the last 5 GEFS runs and watch the warmer runs slowly disappear

 

[Buriedundersnow]

7 o'clock revised chart has 944mb so another 3mb drop in the last hour and 6mb in the last 2 hours

 

 

again the other charts to see where we stand with the forecasts

 

 

to me we look 5mb below forecast and a bit further north

This storm look's pretty wicked for north england /central belt.... sure hope there's not too much damage done...is there anyway of estimating windspeed at present???  Looks like its reached ireland

to me we look 5mb below forecast and a bit further north

Does this have any affect on the central belt??

[Buriedundersnow]

some nice snowy pics from today at Glencoe mountain resort

 

 

also looks like the uploader has been fixed

[Buriedundersnow]

Does this have any affect on the central belt??

 

if it comes further north the central belt could see higher winds but as always we just have to wait and watch to see exactly what happens
