Unti meto and ECM agree it's all fantasy hope casting. We should all take heed...

It’s Christmas, nothing wrong with a bit of hopecasting. After all, I think that’s what most on this thread were doing last week!

What's so awesome to have double digits in winter !?! It's beyond me how people can appreciate this crappy weather

It's what some people like I guess, like how some prefer cool and wet weather in summer. Personally I prefer it being cool throughout the year but appreciate the sunny days. Summer 2015 was a good one. A cold, sunny winter with a few days of snow is what I wish for, though our climate just doesn't provide that often

Three decent summers following Dec 75, 89 & 2012. Also I think summer 1956 was good?

And until you've got me saying 'ECM & GFS analysis chart is a stonker!' or 'Netweather PPN type radar is a stonker', take everything with a pinch of salt.

Can I add "@t+24".

Summer 1956, one of the worst summers of the 20th century, in the league of 1912, 1922, 1954 and many of the '80s summers. Noted particularly for a cold, stormy end to July and an extremely cool and wet August with September being warmer than it. Also, December 1989 didn't have a CET above 6, it was 4.9.

Well quite frankly the chase for cold charts is all part of the fun so those people posting charts, cherry picked or not are free to do so & to those posters I say keep doing what you're doing, you make this thread a fun place to be.

As a lover of cool & fresh air, I'd happily take it!

Hopecasting... absolutely,  none of us are weather men or women here , or we would have a job in the industry.  Instead we sit on here wishing for some cold winter charts . Hope....... absolutely...... always cling to hope 

 

Bring on the next crazy chart from the pub run

No I don’t get why u would bother going on a discussion forum and complain about people discussing a subject. If it’s tomorrow or 300 hours ahead people can discuss it. That’s the idea of the forum . The clue is in the title.

Those are the rolled forward years so you are looking at summers 72 and 12 Vs 75, 89 and 55.

  In this forum it’s not suitable to be a realist you become very unpopular however if you can cherry pick charts and post them with what people want to hear you’ll be rising very rapidly I noticed

Looks like the HP induced cold weather is reserved for Eastern Europe. Maybe squeeze in one last northerly before the Atlantic kicks in again. So a dry mild Christmas period followed by a wet January. The pattern will likely repeat again. Looks like it's an Eastern Europe affair in respect to cold weather this winter.

Posted on 11 December and the most accurate forecast on netweather for the month ahead.

You are welcome.

We’ve now decided from next year, we will go back to Latvia for Christmas, or at the very least the new year. I’ll call in sick if I have to, if I still find myself in a job that doesn’t allow me to have time off in between Christmas and new year.

I’m fed up of having a dull boring Christmas, although last years was cold and sunny, but seeing the snowy scenes of my partner’s family home, makes me crave the snowy conditions even more.

If covid is still here next winter, we will take our chances. Not sitting in London again for another festive period.

[Sunny76]

Staying cold in Latvia, despite the warm up over this way and where Stainsbloke is.

14 Celsius is forecast for next Thursday in my neck of the woods. We have had cooler days than that in June. Crazy.
