Davis Vantage Vue - Help needed getting online.
Mapantz replied to HighPressure's topic in Weather stations and equipment
Weather Display and Cumulus have their own sets of templates. So, as soon as you have hosting, you can initiate the software to upload those web templates, and then you and everybody else can view them. This is the standard web template that Cumulus offers: http://home2.btconnect.com/peterrandle/Weather/index.htm -
Davis Vantage Vue - Help needed getting online.

Just buy a cheap notebook or laptop and keep it running permanently. It doesn't use a lot of power. Or get an rPi. I keep my gaming pc on all the time as it runs Cumulus. If you want near-realtime data (like mine) you'll need to purchase some web hosting. -
That all depends on where you live i'm afraid. I see nothing in the short to medium term for where I live, that excites me. Anything coming from the NW/N is really just an insult for this geographical position. It doesn't matter how cold the uppers are, it's just watered down at the surface. I remember checking the current uppers last weekend, and it was showing -7 to -8, and I didn't even manage a frost. It needs to be slack pressure with cold uppers to create some nice sub-zero temperatures, or an Easterly, nothing else will cause any excitement.

I believe that chart to be absolute nonsense! -
Model Output Discussion - cold spell to end Autumn
Mapantz replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I'm seem to remember @Nick L saying that he couldn't understand why they were showing all of that snow, as the EC precip model he has access to, showed nothing like those amounts. -
It was looking like that from the beginning lol That aside, it looks like another terrible week of weather. The forecast has completely changed in the space of 12 hours. I caught a weather bulletin while I was in bed last night..today was meant to be glorious, and clear tonight. It was overcast all day, and it still is now. Apart from Friday, it's meant to be gloomy all week. I keep reading on here how it has been such a good end to Autumn and start to Winter in terms of cold. I'm guessing none of these people record their own weather data, because it was far colder at the end of Autumn and beginning of Winter last year. I'd also had 7 air frosts up until this point last year. This year it has been 1.

If that chart were to verify exactly like that, it would bring rain to Southern counties, snow for parts of Wales and the North-Midland's. On that basis, I do not like it one iota! -
November's average temperatures started off quite high but soon started to average out, especially at the end of the month. I had several ground frosts, but the temperature didn't get below zero until the very last day - saving a streak of the last 7 November's with a below zero temperature. Rainfall was well below the derived MetO average, and sunshine was above average. Temperature: High: 16.1 °C - [1st November] Low: -1.2 °C - [30th November] Lowest Max: 6.3 °C - [30th November] Highest Min: 12.5 °C - [22nd November] Mean Max: - 12.1 °C Mean Min: - 4.1 °C Average: 8.2 °C MetO Derived Average: 8.3 °C Station Average: 7.7 °C Humidity: High: 99 % - [3rd, 4th, 9th November] Low: 54 % - [30th November] Pressure: High: 1030.4 hPa - [17th November] Low: 986.0 hPa - [23rd November] Wind: Max Gust: 48 mph - [22nd November] Max Speed (10 min avg): 22 mph - [22nd November] Avg Speed: 4.7 mph High Wind Run: 356 miles - [22nd November] Dominant Dir: West Rainfall: Total: 33.2 mm MetO Derived Avg: 102.6 mm Station Average: 75.1 mm Max Rain Rate: 16.8 mm/hr - [4th November] Max Hourly Rain: 5.4 mm - [4th November] Max Daily Rain: 13.6 mm - [4th November] Solar Radiation and Sunshine Data: Max Daily High Solar: 533 Wm⁻² - [12th November] Min Daily High Solar: 169 Wm⁻² - [14th November] Max Sunshine: 8.0 hrs - [8th November] Min Sunshine: 0 hrs - [11th November] Total Sunshine: 96.4 hrs MetO Derived Avg: 81.0 hrs Station Average: 94.4 hrs

Paul Pogba just rang.. he said re snow for the South, you can try and have a poop in one hand and a wish in the other and see which one gets filled first?! -
I can't be bothered to post it in the model thread, so i'll put it here instead.. That crazy LP the GFS is modelling is an interesting scenario - for a couple of reasons. Firstly (being a storm fan) I tend to want these to occur, but as you get nearer the time, the GFS will slow the rate of cyclogenesis down, and even move it further South, which means we tend to miss out on the fun. Now, if it did decide to do that, it would be more favourable for snow further South. With that in mind, what's the betting that the GFS decides to take a different route altogether - ie No interesting weather at all?!
