rain moving from our south west moving over the region overnight

temps

 

start cold but getting warmer when the rain arrives

 

tomorrow

 

a chilly north west to south west flow

 

rainfall

 

looks mainly dry after the morning rain clears

 

could stick around the north east of the region for a while

 

there is a trough on the fax which looks to cross us in the afternoon

 

so chances of some rain are there but should not last too long

 

should be dry for all as night sets in

 

 

temps

 

 

around 8 degrees

 

temps could drop quickly when night falls

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

tomorrow night

 

 

a weak north west flow

 

rain

 

 

looks dry

 

temps

 

a potential for a frost all areas

 

the east coastal may see mist and fog poss

 

so there the frost risk is lower

 

a cold night for all

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

monday

a weak westerly flow

 

rain

 

it looks dry again

 

however the trough on the fax may clip the far south east late pm

 

temps

 

around 6-7 degrees

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

monday night

 

a weak south west to north west flow

 

rain

 

barring the possible drizzly misty murky muck on the east coast

 

it looks dry again

 

temps

 

 

a frost again for most

 

moreso the north of the region

 

expect sub zero temps in a lot of local areas

 

also fog may rear its ugly head again as well

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

tuesday

 

 

a very weak south west flow

 

rain

 

 

again looks dry most of the day

 

rain incoming from the west tues night looks possible

 

temps

CFS I know but WOW.....White Out

 

[abruzzi spur]

Evening all, very quiet on here today I hope everyone is ok....best wishes to JJ and Sm for speedy recoveries and anyone else who is poorly ... As you know I'm off to a sunnier climate in the early hours but I'm sure you will be well looked after in my absence...I'll try to post a few pictures from inside a volcano or of the sunshine so you can remind yourselves what it looks like 

 

I'll leave you with this view of who's to blame for all this wet weather....

 

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/jan/18/uk-storms-divine-retirubtion-gay-marriage-ukip

 

 

My own thoughts on this is that obviously God is only mildly hacked off about the gay marriage laws as all he did was cause a little weather blip that made a few houses wet and knocked off a couple of folk. If God had been proper angry then surely the rivers would have been blood, it would have rained frogs not 'cats and dog's, and we would have been plagued by flies, lice, locusts and covered in boils... we haven't even had the hail and thunder here !!

 

Ciao for now 

Ali, have a great holiday.

Nature is what nature is - gay, straight, whatever, words used by our allegedly sentient and rational species, I struggle with the notion that a benevolent god would condemn people to hell for the sake of sexuality, people who have spent their entire lives doing good but because they aren't heterosexuals are slated for eternal damnation. We'd lose a lot of good people that way.

Our daughter, nearly 13, has 3 friends round, sleepover, and it's lovely and scary to see that they are hunkering down with phones, make-up and music and are just starting out on the journey of life but are still all so young really. I've just taken them all hot chocolate to the guest room where they are watching a film and earlier they still let me sit with them and scroll through the movie choice and they wanted to have a word, didn't mind me being there. Give it a year and it may not quite be that way.

Just started raining again in Reigate.

A right miserable bunch of baskets in the model thread tonight.

 

Arguing the toss whether something is a discussion about model output or not.... "fantasy island" so take no notice.... whether something's a forecast or potential... how likely some output will verify .... disagreements about the unknown...

 

So many minutes of my life I wont get back reading such tosh...

 

Need to stick with Steve Murr and JP only methinks......

[MAF]

 

back later with the fax chart update

but, please, not a whole page worth John :lol:

seriously though, thanks for the info, it give us an idea of the coming weather in better detail than, "next week will be dry/wet/mild/cold/windy/calm..."

'ning all

Happy Hols MKS! can you bring me back some rock? (not volcanic )

[MAF]

i've asked this question many a time of the model thread poster's

""does the models dictate the weather or the weather dictate the models?""

still waiting on a feasible answer

[john pike]

Never seen this before. A volcano in Indonesia produces lava that looks BLUE!

 

Me neither, it must be to do with whatever elements are in the lava.

[MAF]

i reckon someone has put a load of blue lava lamps in it

[MAF]

joking apart, heres the text that goes with the photo's

Courtesy Daily Mail

While the sulhpur appears bright red during the day, at night it gives off an eerie blue light with flames that can reach up to five foot in height.

The miners who rely on the sulphur for their livelihoods work in treacherous conditions at the bottom of the crater. They wear nothing other than t-shirts and trousers as they collect the yellow material, despite toxic fumes being given off and the fact that the molten sulphur is heated to more than 240F........

Photographer Olivier Grunewald, who captured some of these amazing shots, had to wear a gas mask during his expedition into the crater, and lost two lenses and a camera while trying to capture the mysterious pictures.

I just hope this trough doesn't get stuck over the SE like the last one.

Very high sulphur levels will cause it. Beautiful to look at. 

[Ice Day]

CFS I know but WOW.....White Out

 

 

Sweet baby Jesus, can you imagine this forum it that happened.  Even JP's ramps look tame by comparison!!!

I can see a lot of us wondering why the warm sector always ends up over us on that chart lol.

is that a bit like ""why does it always rain on me"" sort of statement?

It's OK, it will adjust south by 200 miles!!!

I'm hoping the volcano I'm going to this week won't be spewing any colour of lava - especially the day I have my head down the crater lol Great photos though but the article hadn't explained exactly why it's blue at night - or am I missing something ? Nearly bed time here - just going to make the hot choccy - 5:45 am departure but hopefully will have a few hours sleep during the flight !
