Model Output Discussion - mid Autumn
BlueHedgehog074 replied to Kirkcaldy Weather's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
A little fun tease regarding the 00Z GEM, but it manages to drag a little patch of -5*C 850 hPa temperatures over the London area during early Sunday morning via the Easterly/North-Easterly flow. The Eastern spot of Kent and the Eastern tip of Scotland also gets in on the -5*C 850 hPa temperature action. -
Storms and Convective discussion- October 2023
BlueHedgehog074 replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Must admit, I thought the skies, at least especially earlier today, looked very convective looking. Although when it become all grey and rainy here this afternoon I just thought it would just be a general spell of rain until, like a few others, a few odd rumbles of thunder suddenly came unexpectedly. Including the odd lightning flash too! Looking at the radar though, it looks like there’s some particularly angry looking showers to the South and East of here. -

Amusing to see, he hee! Does seem early, but certainly over very high ground it could be possible. The very heavy precipitation over that spot on that ECMWF run would have likely to have aided in evaporative cooling too. It reminds me of the snow we had in October. The one where a spell of heavy rain pushed down from the North/West on Tuesday 28th October 2008 during the afternoon. Then transitioned fairly quickly into heavy sleet and snow as the cold Northerly flow sneaked in. Managed to put down a cm or 2 of the white stuff on the ground. The fact that even London had snow that also settled made it particularly impressive. Something will never forget. -

Got woken up last night to a few bright flashes, rumbles and high quality rain. Nothing too remarkable and intense like some had, but got caught off guard by it. One of those cases it feels like where you think nothing will happen, and it does. And when you think something will happen, it doesn’t -

Mostly general cloud up North on the way back home down South from Edinburgh, but hopefully some thundery fun for some, especially those of you over to the East and South (particularly with one or 2 current reports of thunder and torrential rain). -
Sept Heatwave poll
BlueHedgehog074 replied to BlueSkies_do_I_see's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I could have also imagined a prolonged spell of fiery temperatures during July had this setup occurred around then. Would have got a little hot for my liking, though, but something I would have likely chosen over the chilly, wet, conditions that dominated most of July. Especially also if you could have guaranteed it came with less humidity. That part I think is the most challenging. Plus, the heat last year did get a little much sometimes, as interesting as it was to also experience. As it is, the overall bright and at times (despite not constantly) sunny conditions this spell continues to bring has been nice in that it’s made it feel as though Summer wants to hold on. The sunshine has kinda been like medicine for my depression and lonely-like feelings, and good for some, mostly shady, walks. Lower humidity and slightly lower temperatures nevertheless would have made it feel more comfortable, particularly at night to make sleeping somewhat more effortless. -

Quite a nice summary Crewe (and to anyone else that’s done summaries this mornings). Just noticed you’ve changed your username, he hee! Not much to add, so will just do a little overview of… the NAVGEM! A few very warm and balmy days to come for most with the High Pressure over the UK and to the East in control picking up the hot air from the South Pressure does gradually lower over the UK from the North-West and with that warm and hot air in place over the UK (at least mostly away from the fairly far North), I suspect like with the other operational runs, showers and storms will gang up over a number parts of the UK, most particularly Sunday as a disturbance shifts East over the UK, probably leading to something more organised. Flow then looks to turn to the North-West/North into next week following from the weekend, which should bring down cooler air, especially over North-Western areas, with any remaining storms, rain and showers becoming fewer as a nose of High Pressure tries to nudge in from the West. Temperatures below throughout the next few days or so on the NAVGEM to illustrate the transformation of the boiling conditions of this week, to the cooler weather of next week. While still not as warm/hot as this week, Southern and South-Eastern areas trying to cling on to some warm(ish) conditions. Down to 8*C over a spot in North-Western Scotland on the 13th! Edit: Let’s do also keep it friendly in here guys. Cheers! -

Indeed. I think just need to remember really we all have our own views and options on things, including that of the models - the weather ones that is It will, am sure, become busier in the next few months, so although I appreciate things won’t always run 100% smoothly, we’ll likely be having to dust off some of the unused stinky Netweather Dungeons to throw trouble makers into ready for Winter/late Autumn. -
Around 22*C here. Bright and sunny at the moment. Feels a bit like being transported back to what occurred in June with these type of weather conditions.

Yeah, it is. At least September can still feel Summery enough, but I know what you mean, though.
-
Despite the cloud earlier, it could feel as though July has just set in. Roughly 25*C at the moment

How Did You Find Summer 2023?
BlueHedgehog074 replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Just something else to add - Although it would have taken a lot to have got a repeat of Summer last year (mind, it did get a bit too firey at times ), I thought ironically June this year was better than the one last year. Having said that, June 2022 was fairly good. Still one of the somewhat better ones at least. -
From one or two of the replies higher up, can definitely confirm being in one of those few places being invaded by the grey thing this afternoon. Though the cloud(s) look mostly connective and there is some patches of blue sky in between.

How Did You Find Summer 2023?
BlueHedgehog074 replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Apart from a some very warm/hot days in June, it did seem like the Sumner was empty of warmth. Still an okay Summer, personally, but I think it would be easy to feel more disappointed by it had June turned out appalling. A fascinating way to describe it. That’s how I would see the sandwich of Summer too. The contrast between the boiling weather of last Summer and that of this year is just incredible (even without ignoring the fact that fluctuations between the general temperatures of one Summer to another can vary).
