You have been on this forum for over 8 years - you should know better. :wink:

Well there's always the 'safe' option and that typically gives us such. 

In any normal year I'd agree given that 16 day anomaly models apparently are bad at modelling the effects of pattern changes, but everything feels so 'set' at present that I'm very pessemistic regarding the current setup changing, no matter how much I want it to.

Hi anyone think risk of disruption is likely with next weeks storms in this part? 

Amanda I see your attention has switched from this weeks gusts to next weeks storm potential :) .......same applies, needs a couple more days for anything to be nailed on.

But yeah looks nasty if it comes off as shown currently and I'd raise an eyebrow if I lived in Scotland or the NW, plenty of time for changes though so don't worry yet and enjoy your Christmas

Squall line watch again today as the cold front moves through. Some heavy rain and strong winds likely during the mid to late morning period.

Lets see what happens, this should all clear by mid-afternoon to leave a chillier spell which will remain until Christmas morning..... sigh.....

Got woken up by the wind several times last night and the roof tiles are clattering. Surprised we haven't lost one yet!

Urgh....my beautiful snowy pics from Dec 2009 just came up on my Facebook memories.....sigh.... 

Just to give me some hope....didn't one of our historic epic winters start with a mild December before plunging into the freezer?! 

Merry Christmas to everyone here and I hope we all get our our Christmas weather wishes in Jan/Feb!!!xxx

Wind's got up here with some rain pushing through soon by the looks of things. Some torrential bursts in it by the looks of the radar.

Little heads up for people going out there seems to be a pocket of very strong winds for the southern corner of our little oasis..

 

Can't rule out the odd 60mph gust nearer the coast as the front pushes through

Thanks for the heads up wind not really doing much now, was wondering what people were on about. Guess I'll find out later.

I'm no expert but looking st the charts today they seem to be veering to the left of us so not so close? Thanks 

Do you only worry about wind in December and January Amanda?....I'll be more worried about my wind after tomorrow's dinner than the wind gusts this afternoon to be honest ;):D .....Seen bigger wind gusts in Summer.

 

Now it's in FI but wow the GFS for the first week of Jan nearly made me spit my tea out all over the laptop, that's a very interesting chart, one the best I've seen for a while, just a shame so far out. :snowman-emoji:

i have a phobia of wind storms so it's a big problem for me 

hhmmm we'll I see that must be worrying for you, I don't like severe gales perhaps 1987 had something to do with that when I was little and of course nobody wants to see falling trees, lose a fence or roof tiles, we probably get just as many wind storms in Summer, July can often be windy for example

 

Now at present for us I really wouldn't worry yourself this far out, it's over a week away and that's a very long time in weather terms as you will well know by your questioning last week about this current spell of windy weather, it's not been too bad for us has it really and these things sometimes you need them to start happening before you can pin point any solid information, when it's a week away you could ask an opinion every 12hrs but it would change from run to run so you could well worry yourself over nothing....as per today. Yes today is breezy but nothing to get worried about. I'm more worried about Santa getting the round done in record time and perhaps forgetting me ;)

At present I would say next week Weds into Thurs for us not looking too worrying, if I was in the North West then I would have an eye on it, at present for here I think there is more to look at around the 4th/5th in terms of much colder weather.

 

P.S might be an idea to put your location in your profile, not the exact address or road but the nearest Town etc so when your asking questions you might get a better answer as West Kent can be different from East Kent for example.

Where abouts are you Amanda? The rain and wind have cleared here now and it wasn't too bad. Gusts just about touching 40 mph in the squall line

  • April 2024 - Was it that cold overall? A look at the statistics

    General perception from many is that April was a cold month, but statistics would suggest otherwise, with the average temperature for the whole month coming in just above the 30 year average for the UK as a whole. A warm first half to to the month averaged out the cold second half. View the full blog here
