  1. raz.org.rain it has been thus for 15 years. All addictions are hard to conquer.
  2. St neots is nearly always on the edge of every warning, fully expected that! Bizarre though given the forecasts, I'd have thought a blanket amber was appropriate. ..
  3. 3 months Summer, 9 months grey lids. The new seasons.
  4. Totally agree, I'd say within a decade. 40c as an annual max seemed miles off not so long ago yet I recorded that here just 2 years ago. It's changing fast.
  5. You could definitely make it up, it happens every year for at least the last 15 years. Its regular as clockwork. The climate has changed a while back now and mild/warm will always be the form horse. Thankfully I stopped getting led up the garden path and crushed by the usual model failure (or reality) for snow a long time back. Far easier to expect mild or dry cold these days and very rarely a snowy blip will materialise. Less stress...
  6. People need an excuse to like a type of weather? Wow,the things you learn on here.
  7. Yep, wall to wall sunshine here, miraculous, the nuclear winter pauses for a few hours, yippee. Same every year, grey lid for months occasionally punctured. Disgusting climate these days.
  8. Ah it's ok, appreciate your reply, I only go in there occasionally to get a feel for a general trend. Go back 10 years or more and i was hanging on to every run and word with huge let downs every time!! Gave that all up way back. Still find it frustrating that what used to be an enjoyable hobby is mostly boring to ne now. It feels like things have changed so much since when i first got into the weather in the 80s. Bring back knockers short term forecasts where we had reliability around what the weather was actually going to bring in the next few days...
  9. Days of cold and gloom, 0c all day yesterday followed by cold rain, not even a flake can be produced. Same hype as last 20 years in the model thread, Thursday snow turns to Friday, turns to Saturday, blah, blah. Reality is 9 times out of 10, dry, cold, grey borefest with a wet fart of a breakdown (imby). Utter dog dirt. Used to be enjoyable variety of weather in this country but now its no storms in summer, no snow in winter, no wind storms, etc. Can't stand the cold these days (used to love it when younger) anyway but if it has to be endured, at least give us some snow. Bring on the mild! Oh and just 10 quid a day gas to get through this epic cold spell. Zzzz.
  10. You can definitely make it up, it's happened multiple times every winter for the last 2 decades of being around this forum, its why I gave up getting into the models over a decade ago. Past a few days, stopped clock, etc, etc.. same in summer re storms.
  11. Seems storm '87 was a trigger for weather interest for many of us here including me! I was 8 and living in Romford Essex at the time and awoke to what I initially thought was the sea and waves slamming against the house, it was so loud and hissing/roaring/banging, I was terrified. Then there was the constant flashing alongside this which I thought was power lines not lightning but could be wrong. Looking out the window all we could see was destruction, bricks flying down the road, trees and walls coming down, just madness. Next day was incredible for me, with all the trees down I collected sacks of conkers- back in the day conkers were almost like currency in the playground! Scenes of devastation will stay with me forever. '87 was quite a year as the epic snow that year was also fascinating.
  12. Woken up to a surprise storm as I'm sure have many.... captured my only lightning strike this year but well chuffed, what a beauty and was very close!! Wish it could have been a good season, it was terrible but I'll take the last hurrah, thanks finally weather Gods. 20230918_020859.mp4
