Model Output Discussion - New Year and Beyond
Mikel Nimbus replied to BlueHedgehog074's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
10hPA is a little to high up to have much of an impact on the Tropospheric Polar Vortex. With Sudden Strat Warmings, they tend to start at the top and then propogate downwards through the atmosphere. Once it reaches 70hpa and above then you start seeing interactions of the warming with surface conditions. So don't worry too much about its location at the moment, there's plenty of scope for that to change over the coming weeks. -
Storm Eunice - 18th February
Mikel Nimbus replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
The winds have picked up significantly here in the last 15 minutes. Feels like it did around midday again and seeing more damage occurring. What's going on? Local building has lost parts of its roof. -
European Storm & Convective Discussion
Mikel Nimbus replied to A.J's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Just been driving through Eastern France and a couple of hours ago got caught out by a monster of a storm with golf ball hail. The car windscreen is going to need replacing. :( -
The panic on here feels like the evening of 1st Feb 2009. No weather apps back then but worries that "The skies are clear!!! There's nothing forming in the Estuary!!! It's too cold to snow!!!" That turned out to be the most epic snow event I've ever witnessed with a 24 hours Thames Streamer. Relax people.

I think we've finally reached the end of it. 103.4mm in 3 days is insane for London. -

42.2mm of rain here today! That's a record for my station since it started running in 2003. On top of 35.3mm on Friday. Still hammering it down. Could be looking at over 100mm from this storm by tomorrow night! -

I wonder if it is the outflow from the storms out west? The temperature has dropped like a stone over the last 10 minutes, almost 3 degrees. Already feels a lot fresher. -

GFS this evening is also disappointing. Big downgrade for Thursday. Possibly something tomorrow evening. but if you're north of the Thames it doesn't look great. -

I saw this feature too over North London at about 4pm. Thought I was imagining it as it looked so strange. It was a narrow leading band of cloud, in front of it completely clear skies, behind it lots of higher alto cumulus. Some sort of wind convergence perhaps? -

Often the way. We suffer the sweltering conditions and the northerners grab all the action. They are closer to the centre of the low over Iceland than us down here so their cap is weaker along the trough? -

That thing has exploded on the radar. Very impressive. -

True and maybe also actual wind speed? e.g. a certain location might be more sheltered from westerlies but exposed to southerlies? Wind speeds are higher on my anemometer this evening than for Storm Ciara. -

Wasn't expecting this but yes, the winds are on a different level from last weekend and seem far more sustained than gusty. There's also already more damage. Just came back home and there are whole fences blowing across the roads. -

Flipping hell! That child was extremely lucky not to be swept out just then.
