Not much to talk about weather wise at the moment so let's share dinners again LOL.

...Chilli Con carne tonight for me but again another dilema, don't know whether to have rice and wedges or rice with a side of nachos , got some guacamole and sour cream el paso sauces to use up. 

I'd def go for rice and nachos! Or piled on top of the nachos with all the other sauces piled on top and topped with cheese and bunged in the oven!  Yum! 

Its burger and chips for us tonight, one of our favs, I cut the chips really thin and fried till all crispy!

Do they still exist not heard of a beefeater in years...... almost as rare as the Berni Inn.

[Flash Elvis]

Its an Essex thing I think lol

Yuck, just looked at the models for the first time in a few days. Why did I bother.

Average to mild for the rest of Jan.

Then unless you live up a hill in Scotland a cooler spell from the W/NW is going to do naff all for us.

Grim. Not hearing the fat lady just yet but she is clearing her throat I think.

[snowrye]

Ive heard her singing loudly,for me im chucking the towel in,the last cold spell was non-existent in regards to snow,and lets face it 99% of members here all want the snow,and lots of it.So after a few days,we're back to square 1,wet windy and mild,groundhog day returns

Cheer up mate. It has been another poor "winter" for the majority of us. Me included.

But.......there is still February. We will get another chance of cold/snow I am sure of that. 
 

Valentines Day snowstorm anyone?.......share the love!

Morning Surrey, I'm good thanks, hope everyone else is too....its Friday!! Dull, dark and damp here and certainly a big difference to 3 days ago Certainly looks a bit blowy in our region on Tuesday and Friday of next week! Charts attached for reference / discussion. Still some time to run on this, however, I do hope it verifies as I love a good wind storm! Have a great day all!

[Dami]

Those clouds really do know when it's the school run, started to rain just as we headed out and to makes things worst, school didn't open till 8:35 and we got soaked. Leaflets on time keeping and their timekeeping is nigh on disgusting. Not the best start to the day.

Still dry here for now temp 4.1

A bright start has given way to drizzle now in North Kent, currently 5c, another stunning sunrise this morning though....

Beat me to it! Here is the ARPEGE take on it..

 

50-60MPH gusts perhaps a tad higher!

 

See the is why I LOVE the UK weather.. One minute we are chasing the lowest temp, the next minute we are chasing the highest gust!

Oh and for temp contrast.. 2 days ago it was -7 here.. Today we might get 12 degrees.. Thats a 19 degree shift in 48 hours.. 

 

[alexisj9]

Just read the two winter moan threads, people really acting like winter is done and dusted, why do we need two threads to discus one thing. I'm thankful some in the mod thread bother with charts and theories on what they may bring later, just wish the winter over or last week wasn't winter cause I didn't get snow posts would go where they should be.

[alexisj9]

Rain started here now, and temp dropped just a little to 3.7.

[Jimmyh]

dark and rubbish near cannon street.... seems calmer in here today, says peeking from behind curtain. Monday into Tuesday looks interesting

Front will be clearing us all soon... Sunny spells in a few hours before dark sets in

Never a dull moment! That is quite a temperature contrast and just shows how quickly weather conditions can change on our tiny Island! 06Z seems to have downgraded the wind for next Tuesday & Friday (charts attached for reference), however, this is just one run and plenty more time for upgrades or indeed downgrades...we shall see! The models, as they currently stand, do show an unsettled week coming up! 06Z show it raining from Tuesday 18.00 constantly until 15.00 on Thursday, that's a full 45 hrs of rain!! Have a nice afternoon all!

Lets hope so Surrey as we may not see a lot of sun for the next week judging by the Models!! That was the nice thing about the last few cold days......accompanied by sparkling sunshine!

Think I have just seen the funniest post to date on this fourm!

 

Someone is writing summer off based on the 06z this morning... 

 

 

Thats almost as bad as going "Todays weather in space... "

To me, it shows complete lack of knowledge in regards to meteorology in general

[Daniel*]

I hate the British climate it is utterly mundane..

Being out and about it feels like a winter heatwave after those cold temperatures I'm afraid it is going to get worse before it gets better quite dispiriting. Great photo @kentcloud  

Not checked but I think it reached 12C here back to December shenanigans

A bright end to a very wet day with rain on and off. Back to mild again and will remain so for the rest of the month bar a few cooler days behind any cold fronts.

It is fair to say that the end of January isn't going as I and many have hoped. Still a lot of interest in February which has been my punt along with many others from back in November.

[alexisj9]

Was raining till after dark, then we had a bit of fog, which is now lifting.
