South East England and East Anglia weather discussion/chat - 15th November 2015 onwards

[Captain Shortwave]

Well a windy night yet again. This morning it is bright and breezy and again very mild.

[Rain123]

After a very gusty night (though not as much as the night before), the wind has died down a bit now. Also been raining a bit here.

[alexisj9]

Well the strongest wind over night was 56 MPH so blowing constantly from yesterday here. Still getting gusts in the high 40's now.

[Blessed Weather]

Bright and very breezy start to Sunday. Still silly mild at 13.3C. The OGIMET 24 hr report for the local airbase at Wattisham shows the strongest gust at 66.7 km/h (41.4 mph). Looking like cloud and a few spots of rain will turn up later as the (now decaying) front that caused the floods in the NW arrives.

Another breezy week coming up. Mild to start. Rain Tues. Then cooling down a tad with max temps around 10 - 11C. Snow for the Scottish mountains so it's a look at their webcams for my fix.

[Captain Shortwave]

So in light of the continuing mild conditions, lets have a sweepstake;

So far this month all 5 days have seen a maximum temperature in double figures, the question is how long will this string of consecutive days continue?

My money's on Saturday!

All looks a bit doom and gloom on here this morning, fed up of this mild full and windy weather! All I can see is plenty more of it to come! 

 

Looked like models were on to colder weather a couple of days ago!

 

really won't some more seasonable weather, crisp Bright days and frosts! 

 

Hope me things change soon!

[ReindeerMarmalade]

Bit of a contrast here without the winds this morning. I'm possibly the only person in the UK who quite likes winds and rain (with all obvious caveats that no one wants what the northwest has just had), but these mild temperatures are misery-inducing for me. I'm hopeful temps will drop below double figures next week but we'll see.

At the rate we're going at, probably not until the NAMOC shuts-down - give it a couple of centuries!?

[Paul Ashford]

Well, why did this report go viral? lol

Brought a tree and put the decs up today. In true British style, very mild drizzly and grey!

Does not feel like December out there what so ever. No heating on and feels incredibly mild... Really hope it changes come Christmas week. 

Even just some cold (er) nights and sunnier days would be nice! 

[Captain Shortwave]

Gloomy here too all day, just windy and mild.

I too have put up the Christmas tree.

[bluebell]

lovely looking tree! We've dragged ours in from the garden where it's been sitting in its pot since last year. It's naked and drying off will dress it tomorrow!  

[Daniel*]

Tree went up today!  (Filter on the image).

Feeling more festive the weather on the other hand is anything but festive.

[alexisj9]

Very little wind for a change, however it is raining which surprised me, forecast said dry with sunny spells.

[Kent Blizzard]

Morning all.

A little bit of everything this morning, slight mist in the distance which actually could be drizzle, grey clouds but some blue sky on the Horizon, again very mild.

I have a feeling that we will get the cold many are after BUT our luck it'll arrive at the end of Feb just in time to mess up start of Spring and the lighter nights  If we look at this afternoon for example when the sun is suppose to turn up with it being 12*c if it was March that set-up could easily give us 15*c and at that time of year in the sun it would feel very pleasant and most of us would be outside enjoying it so I really hope it doesn't turn out like this, yes we can get decent snowfall in Spring but for me it is wasted.

 

I was looking at Mid-Month for a change but this morning I'm now not so sure so I guess it shows we have a few days to wait before we can determine our fate for the lead into Christmas.

Just gone out into the front garden, sun is shining, no wind.

Seriously its like spring out there, you could easily sunbath its so warm, well 13c but feels much warmer.

Working out side in shorts and vest top and even that feels to warm, I cant remember such a day working outside at this time of the year.

[seaside 60]

Surely nature will pay back it always does.

Just please not in March and  April like 2013.

That's my concern and the writing could be on the wall with that.

I'm currently the otherside of the window and when the sun is out you can feel that warmth, cannot believe someone had the heating on in here!

Does anyone know what the record temperature is for Christmas Day? If this continued we would surely come close to all time records once again.

Just had a quick google it seems  The record for Christmas Day is 15.6 deg C at Killerton in Devon in 1920

Oh I agree, however I think this month is not a done deal. It never is the last third of this month and January certainly is grabbing from a coldies perspective last years winter forecast 14/15 had in bold 'a cold hearted winter'. I sense this is is more appropriate this season.

The models do show a growing trend of average to slightly below average temperatures who knows what could happen thereafter I have an incline this winter will be one to remember.

So watch ths space.

[Ben Lewis]

Ridiculously mild out there. 

Postman still delivering in his shorts. 

Back door open to air house and windows up stairs in bedroom open, how on earth is it Christmas Day in 18 days time..! 

[Captain Shortwave]

Well the sun was out for most of today, very mild again though but with gentle breezes for once.

[clark3r]

could we be heading for the 5th December in a row with out any snow, decent cold snaps? Thinks need to show signs by end of weekend otherwise I feel December is a write off for cold weather!
