The Midlands - Weather Chat

[Dancerwithwings]

The sun is out and i have a flurries

[Mair Snaw]

Well I went in to Sainsbury's to grab a couple of bits and came out into a heavy spell of snow covered everything..then stopped and now the sun is out....and its all gone again... still got the hills surrounding with full cover....

 

Good to be back Bish

[Arctic Hare]

Just got up for a drink of water and checked the MetO overnight forecast. The West Midlands one is strangely specific: "...some snow, mainly across Worcestershire." How it's going to get here without passing over any other county is anyone's guess!

 

Ah, I've worked it out. The snow is clearly going to spread up from Gloucestershire. Yes, on a northerly.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

-0.5C, clear as a bell, latest GFS run dominated by high pressure from 0 to 384, not seen many runs like that before

Bang on if it was July/August

Bang on if it was July/August 

 

yes, it would be a great run for summer, decent temps 24-25C, not too hot, perfect summer weather

[Matthew Gill]

Lots of cloud on the satilite curving out into the north see from north east Scotland then spinning back into the humber and the wash. Maybe a chance of something from that later??

[JOPRO]

Well I'm currently at Loughborough uni and I woke up to a slight covering on the floor and it's been snowing this morning also....more than I seen in 2 years down in South Wales....quit moaning you lucky buggers

 

Fond memories of some heavy snow when I was at uni there back in 2003!

You can get tablets for that you know.....

[shaky]

Dancer any more of your brilliant euro4 and nmm updates to cheer us midland folk up?

[Summer of 95]

Another balmy day, or would be if it wasnt for the wind. Sun out and lots of blue sky. Certainly not cold.

Well Im supposed to be going to Cornwall in a couple of weeks and starting to seriously believe I'm more likely to see a decent snowfall there than here. The West Mids has a curse on it this winter.

[The Wolf]

I agree. Parts of the West Midlands are cursed for snow.

[Shane Wheeldon]

Yep I agree. We have been cursed most places have now seen snow and it has stuck, every time it has started here it turns to rain and gets washed away!

[Will Padz]

Nmm looks good for later....l some promise.....

The 06z NMM's PPN charts are showing a wintry mix (more rain & sleet than snow) around teatime for the east of our region

 

 

A few flurries come Weds morning, but one to keep an eye is later on weds... incoming from the N/E

 

[Dancerwithwings]

I think Thursday looks more promising for showery activity as winds pick up and turn more into a Northeasterly and a fairly strong one at that, driving snow showers well inland.

But a good 48hrs to go yet! but defo one to keep an eye on

[The Wolf]

A north easterly can deliver well to the West Midlands. I hope

we can get in on the action at some stage tomorrow and Thursday.

[shaky]

Looking good for the next 3 days!! Snow on and off!!

[Ryan05]

Very promising for the East Midlands snow wise in the next 48 hours, lets hope for heavy showers

[The Wolf]

The West deserves snow.
