Serious question! The charts showing an easterly/ greenie high etc in FI never seem to materialise yet the ones showing mundane boring average temps always seem spot on. Why is this please? Sorry if it seems a silly question with an obvious answer but im still learning the basics! Thanks

Hi well simply it is our default pattern with zonal the models have a good grip, and there's raised confidence when it comes to cold potential it all goes out the window as the models really do struggle when the pattern bucks the trend anything considered out of place, ie. snow is a real toughie. It does have to go pretty perfect to get cold in a British Isles there's many variables and these have to slot in place, unfortunately this year we've had 2/3 fleeting chances but it seems the polar vortex a large pocket of very cold air, has hindered any attempt at a block ensuing. Which is why we're having a largely positive NAO, meaning low pressure to the north & higher pressure to the south, this is not what you're looking for - Negative NAO vice versa, due to the big fat slug residing over Greenland. To have got the 'cold' spell was a miracle in itself. In terms of it sustaining. Block ensures frigid air sinks S, meanwhile this winter it all seems to have been bottled up in polar regions.

I don't get how uppers of -5/6 from the east , can only produce snow turning to rain as the morning progresses according the bbc news 24 iv just watched . Starts off as a good band of snow then a few hours later it's all rain ? Baffles me . No doubt yet another warm sector . But this year continues to be very very frustrating

There have been more warm sectors this winter in the UK than in the Brazilian rain Forrest,

Drives me nuts.

Not for the faint hearted. Astonishing how there were survivors, aviation may be the safest way to travel but even till this day, I always get twitchy...the driver of the vehicle is reported to have had had a very lucky escape.

Meanwhile the weather report Cold & Dry.

THAT is interesting.  :D

Someone help me why does the trough? have 'shoots'. Streamer?

convergence line , now that can create hours of fun for some :rofl: ..

Convergence line

A slow-moving trough, which is parallel to the isobars and tends to be persistent over many hours or days. They are quite common in cold northerly outbreaks down the Irish Sea, affecting west Wales, Devon and Cornwall in particular, but can be found in other areas also. This convergence line can give hours of persistent precipitation over very localised areas, whilst a few miles down the road it is relatively dry, leading to some heavy snowfall/rainfall. In summer the convergence lines are not as easy to forecast, but then can still occur due to sea-breeze convergence, and are over the land, whilst in winter they are over the sea
