South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat

[karlos1983]

can't see anything on radar yet, that we are likely to get later,light snowfall. Where we supposed to be looking`?

I think looking at the Radar the band(s) appear to be gathering to the North east, roughly on the boarders atm of England/Scotland.

[MP-R]

Indeed. No doubt in my mind that if showers turn up they will be of snow. Big if though

 

 

So frustrating here, every shower I watch heading this way gets destroyed by the mountains.

 

 

Tell me about it. Doesn't seem to happen with rain showers haha.

[katemart]

Storm force, ditto, I just had to do ours today! It's such a minute leak but enough to reduce the pressure so with removing all our tiles to find the leak which can be small enough as just a drip to lose pressure, could be anywhere in the bungalow, so once every couple of weeks I have to scramble up in to the loft to release the valve to let in water to build up pressure then heating hit eager kck right back in again. Right pain in the jacksy so understand where you're coming from........

 

Combi boilers, eh? We have the same problem. Right pain when the heating doesn't fire up on a bitterly cold morning :-(

 

1.8C, -3.7 dp. Humidity 67%

I love a good blizzard! Even if it's mostly sleet with a bit of snow mixed in for fun!

I'm sure we'll all see some snow tonight even if its a dusting.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Which direction we meant to be looking for this? Something from the north sea? That is now on its way to France?

[Zephyr]

I think it may snow in Cardiff soon if them showers keep on track.

 

Will it snow in Yate?

[Jayfromcardiff]

Will it snow in Yate?

Yes along with Cardiff and Carlisle, amounts TBC.

[karlos1983]

Yes along with Cardiff and Carlisle, amounts TBC.

Lol Carlisle

[karlos1983]

Perhaps it's the Midlands as some showers are popping up as mentioned from nowhere there in the last 45 mins

Its weird that the showers keep moving in a slight NW direction over Wales. Do you think that ppn over NE England could reach us?

[festivalking]

Well well we have a covering of sorts. Can't see the grass i reckon about 1cm. Temps above freezing so be gone by morning. Great to see.

I don't think so, more for eastern areas I think. It's not a NE flow, so I'd be surprised if it was that batch.

[MPG]

I'm sorry but that's just not correct. Everything points in favour of snow should there be precip falling from the sky.

Wet bulb, perfect, 850's perfect, temp is fine, dp perfect. Precip or lack of it, problem, but that's it. Just precip missing.

Well nothing tonight and nothing of concern next week according to the experts. The sun felt warm today, bring on the azores high for some early spring weather.

[iowpompeylee]

Is that some precipitation peppin up around Birmingham way?

Yuk! I'd rather full zonal and raging gales thanks.

I'm no expert, but I do know what's required for it to snow. Main ingredient being precip.

It is indeed

[A.J]

it had better, otherwise there won't even be enough of a dandruff dusting to convince me that 'er indoors' hasn't just emptied out the contents of her woolly hat on the garden path!

 

 

 

(she won't read this.....oh hang on, she's looking over my shoulder and is promising to hit me with a brick before I finish this senten.............)

[katemart]

It is indeed

 

Showing as snow on NW snow radar and confirmed on #uksnowmap

[iowpompeylee]

Like mentioned earlier.temps etc will be fine.... Precipitation is key!

Sorry but you need a reality check. Snow may fall, but with surface temps nowhere near freezing it will be damp and wet. If anything does settle it will be over higher ground. Having just seen the forecast it showed no PPN apart from an odd flurry. Temps 5-6 degrees tomorrow. This period is nothing but normal Jan weather. It's just not conducive to lying snow, and to top it all there's no PPN just dry. Edited January 31, 2015 by MPG

Yes marginality not an issue tonight.

Well thanks for the advice, but that's probably not what I come on here for.

Cheers for your concern though with my reality

[MPG]

Yes but no PPN forecast and not cold enough for it settle because temps are above freezing. PPN in Scotland is forecast to run doe NE districts.

I've not argued once if precip would be an issue.

[iowpompeylee]

I think if you look at the temps for the next few days we have the cold with us... Will be precipitation based too I'd expect

[Jayfromcardiff]

Grrr them showers are soo close to my location now, I guarantee they miss by a few miles.
