Southeast England & East Anglia - Weather Chat >> 1st Feb Onwards

[Daniel*]

Hi Daniel...Halo huge here in Biggin Hill.  Maybe cloud is interfering....it's pretty amazing :-)!

Hi scrat (: it might be due to light pollution, there is some wispy cloud so you may be correct.

[Kent Blizzard]

Isn't that surface airflow though, rather than upper?

Looks it to me, total different ball game !!

[steveinsussex]

Ah sod it, im off to bed

[Roy]

What a twist of fate the 500 wind vectors and 700 wind vectors all move in a SW direction roughly along the m4 corridor , hence the shift as the band moved southwards , 50 miles North / South the winds are in s more northerly direction

That's called buggers luck

What is it about the M4 corridor. Rain always to the south of it from a channel low

[Kent Blizzard]

But none of them arrows are pointing SW, which is the direction the precip is moving. So can't rely on these wind directions I wouldn't have thought

There is a difference between surface wind and 850hpa

[Frostbite80]

Isn't that surface airflow though, rather than upper?

yep hence the movement more sw! Daniel do us a favour mate and draw one of your diagrams without a ruler and point it further east for me will ya! Lol

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Keep the faith.. It is slipping southwards west London looks fine..

[fatyido]

Back garden just now

[Met4Cast]

It's the 700hPa wind vectors you want to view when tracking PPN, surface wind direction doesn't give an accurate enough picture. 700hPa shows why the band is moving SW

 

[lassie23]

my accu, now has changed to snow  apparently snow will start in 16 mins ,lol 

should be snowing there now

[Sno' problem]

I said hours ago that this would miss London to the west BUT that was meant to a bit of a joke! Next time I will keep my big mouth shut.

Sorry.

Hahahahaha! I don't think you have that much influence...

 

Or do you???? 

[snowbob]

Keep the faith.. It is slipping southwards west London looks fine..

ok cool

But I ain't in west London

What faith

Lol

[janetmh71]

Think that is pretty much the end for me, for now anyway. Anything coming off the wash is heading straight to Peterborough so enjoy. Might not be a snow day tomorrow but watching this has sure been fun. Hope everyone gets a little bit tonight

This is quite a stunning photo of the moon dog ~ you can quite clearly see Jupiter too.

This is an example of the difference between surafce wind and those 700hpa that Daniel points out.

 

700hpa

Agree, think it's veered a but.

[Biggin]

Hi scrat (: it might be due to light pollution, there is some wispy cloud so you may be correct.

No light pollution in Biggin, esp looking south Daniel. Ice crystals in high clouds mate

Back garden just now

Nice

To the left ??

[john mac]

Oh well another day tomorrow!!

[Metjet]

Started snowing here much earlier than expected. Very light flakes now need some of the heavier stuff on the radar to get down here quick! Very pleased that it's come so much earlier than expected whilst I'm still awake.

[Daniel*]

Harmonie lol Never trust twitter, wind in right direction tomorrow ??

I swear she is out of Harry Potter.

Well GFS is going for a NNE @4PM so not totally out the question.

[Sno' problem]

London is just killing the ppn mate, while the stuff hitting East Anglia will affect those to the East of the meridian I reckon.

 

I seriously hope I am wrong!!

[Luton Weather]

Snowing in Luton 😃

No good if you live in East London eastwards though. Very poor forecast from the Met Office/BBC. How can they get things so wrong with regards to the direction of the prep?

[easton888]

North London going to miss out

[Hemelgeographer]

Snowing in Hemel Hempstead for 25 minutes. Covering quite nicely with temp -1 deg C. Gone from light to moderate. Will produce a decent cover if it continues at this rate for an hour or more.
