Stormyking

This sounds exciting, wish I was up there could get very exciting and stormy! Nice to see the snow graphics as well, winter is coming

My turnn: January: Very cold with lots of snow at the start of the month with thundersnow thrown in. Middle of the month a brief Atlantic storm with severe gales and lots of rain, this will be replaced by major easterlies with some big snowfalls and ice days! End of the month Cold, Sunny, frosty with the occasional snow shower from time to time with temperatures barely getting above freezing. February: Massive Greenland High, combined with a Scandi High, bringing severe easterlies and bitterly cold temperatures below freezing with lots of snow for the first 2 weeks. middle part a nice big winter high bring some nice sunny and frosty days along with some mist and fog thrown in. Last part mainly cold with snow showers on and off from the east/ ENE some of these snow showers to be combined with thundersnow. March: Milder weather sets in as the atlantic beginns to rage through with heavy rain and severe gales, this will cause major thaws leading to flooding in places. 2nd to third week of march a nice sunny high to develop giving some pleasant warmth with temperatures between 13-16 celcius. Into the last part of march a potent Northerly to hit the UK, giving heavy convective snow showers with thundersnow, hail and strong winds. April: A proper warm starts with lots of sunshine with temperatures into the mid to high teens. Another Northerly pushes down into the 2nd part of the month giving lots of convective weather with thunderstorms thrown in, these to be combined with Heavy rain, hail, sleet/snow. Last part of the month, sees high pressure developining to our east drawing up some very warm Southerly air, giving lots of sunshine and temperatures into the low to mid 20's. May: The theme of very warm weather to carry on, but a spanish plume shows its face, bring big thunderstorms to the South Coast of the UK, these lasting all night with amazing lightning shows. Mid month remains very warm and thundery temperatures typically in the mid to high 20's with yet more thunderstorms. Last part of the month sees a cool down with the atlantic briefly affect the UK giving some heavy rain and strongish winds at times. June: High pressure starts to develope over the SW and pushes up towards the UK, giving some very nice pleasant weather with temperatures into the mid 20's, into middle part of the month the high pressure pushes to the east, bring up hot South/South easterlies temperatures will exceed into the high 20's to low 30's. After this a massive thundery breakdown for the whole of the UK, with severe Thunderstorms pushing from the South/ South East, this to give the best lightning displays to be seen in the UK. Last part will become generally nice and warm with comfortable pleasant temperatures in the low to mid 20's. July: Things start to hot up again as pressure builds to the east, and we get more hot Southerlies with temperatures again in the high tweenties and the low 30's even as high as 34-35c. 2nd half of the month sees another thundery breakdown, with more big thunderstorms affect most of the UK. After this we see a cool down and things start going unsettled with lots of thundery rain about. August: First week remains cool and breezy along with showery weather too. into the wnd week a major heatwave to develope bring very hot air from the South, temperatures breaking 2003 record with 40c maxed, this to be broken down by major thunderstorms along with a lot of rain. last part of august remaining settled and pleasant, temperatures between 20-24 celcius. September: To be quite unsettled with some plumey weather to start with bringing decent thunderstorms. After this and Atlantic low to push through the UK giving strong winds and heavy rain. Rest of the month being mostly settled and fine with pleanty of sunshine with temperatures between high teens and low twenties. October: A potent Atlantic low to push through, giving severe gales and lots of heavy rain, after this high pressure will build over the UK from like the 10th to around the 25th, this will give lots of sunshine and light winds, nights to be cool at night. End of october, things go unsettled again with weather systems pushing from the west giving lots of strong with winds. November: A relatively unsettled start, but becoming quieter with settled and cool calm weather, this will lead to nice foggy and frosty nights. End of the month the first proper cold spell arrives from the North East, giving some snow to places, even in the South. December: A replica of last december, major snowfall at the beginning, then a rest bite which would give frosty and cold days. Towards Christmas time, the snow arrives back to give big accumulations well into the new year as well.

I guarentee you wouldn't critisise if someone forecast a mild winter, because that is what you want obviously :L Chill out pal!

Anyways moving on, I reckon we will get some snow this year and will be mostly cold, but along with some milder interludes

Are Artic highs a good thing, I dont really know to much about them? Looking like tuesday could be a very wet day according to GFS, will be nice to get some rain as it has been very dry the past month!

Of course I love that type of weather, I love hail especially when it is at its heaviest tends to be combined with Thunder and Lightning which is my ultimate favourite weather

Found some more which I would love to see

Brilliant Fun thread this, Now its my turn for both Winter and Summer: These are the most memorable charts for me for winter as I never got to live the winters before 1993. Now for Summer: I will look through some more and will post them

Yeh Its October, but October 2008 produced Snow to a load of places, there is nothing wrong with people looking forward to some cold, also April 6th 2008 classed as spring but an impressived snowfall hit most of the country which was sweet. From what I have seen, no one has got over excited, everyone is entitled to their opinions! Sorry for going off topic people. Anyways GFS looking pretty chilly next week still by the looks of it, also some rain showing and if it gets cold enough, some snow on higher ground for Scotland. This week still remaining settled with high pressure over us could give some pleasant days, but there could be a lot of cloud about at times still. Not checked ECM yet, so am just about to

18z about to roll out, lets see what it will throw at us, will be interesting to see if the GFS will keep the Northerly showing like it has done on the last few runs

Oh right ok, yeh I forgot about that my bad. To be honest we will get a better picture come the end of November me thinks. in my opinion Im still going for a slightly belowe avergae winter with some decent cold snowy spells, with some mild interludes

Not really, his forecast is going for a Cold december but a drier one, where as last year in the December it was snowy and not dry at all really, so it isn't really a direct copy of last winter.

A Cloudy day today with a fairly fresh breeze, but not really that cold but I haven't really felt anything due to a heavy cold :/ Top Temperature today at: 17.3c Low Temperature: 14.8c Current Temperature: 15.7c

Indeed, looks interesting!! Yet another cool/cold looking run of charts in FI, in the meantime time though a nice big high pushing up over the UK from the South West, which would give some fine settled weather, but quite a bit of cloud at times. Some chilly nights though showing on the GFS as the week goes on, as skies clear I would have thought

Thats the snow chart showing for Monday 4th October 2010 hahaha I haven't seen this mornings chart yet, could someone post me the link for the Snow and ice cover map thing would be very much appreciated
