Looks like a promising day convection wise today with Estofex having most of the UK under a storm risk, highest potential being down south.
Had some great hail showers yesterday.
Looks like a nasty band of showers moving south currently.
Looking at next week, as it's been so mild this year so far, would imagine the convective potential off the North Sea could be good, but I don't think the air will be quite cold enough for widespread snow. 4C forecast at the moment into next week?
Our country is totally at the mercy of the strong jet stream this winter. It's been unrelenting. Definitely pushes for the climate change argument!
Stay safe everyone.
Wind has really whipped up recently. If the low was over the Liverpool Bay Area and heading NE, then N Wales, Gtr Manchester, Cheshire, N Mids, Lancs then Yorks and NE England should see the strongest gusts.
Very gusty here, worst I've heard in a long while. Can't see any damage, but of course this is due to reach it's maximum around noon-3pm so more to come!
Can hear the tiles rattling around on the roof.
After seeing the risk for Scotland earlier today/ yesterday, I'm surprised to see a shift southward a today! Metoffice have my location for 50+mph gusts, for an inland location, pretty high.
Looks like this is going to be a rough ride for N England especially.
Merry Christmas by the way!
Reading the warnings from Metoffice, I would presume that the worst of any rain and wind would not affect us in the NW England, a little concerning really....
Must be due updated warnings, metoffice app have removed any warning from the NW England for well over an hour now, anyone checking now could easily think that the weather will be less severe tomorrow/Tuesday.
Dropped from 5c to 3c in the hour travelling back from work, sleet, hail, raind and snow. Parts of Warrington are flooded from the Mersey too.
BBC news just showed the sea lapping over the sea wall at Cleethorpes.
