I hope Wednesday and Thursday are not as cloudy as models are suggesting. Having warm temperatures is no good if there's little to no sunshine.

Model Output Discussion - Mid Summer Onwards
Snowshine replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
It's not especially hot, temperatures will be around 25C on the warmest days which is perfect for summer. -
The most notable thing today is not the wind or the rain, but the temperatures. Birmingham hasn't exceeded 12C and it isn't expected to get any warmer. The last time such a low temperature was locally recorded in August was 2010 (12.8C).

Storms and Convective discussion - August 2023
Snowshine replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
No thunderstorms but a reasonable day here, actually glad we missed the band of rain to our south. -

It's a Northerly flow, so temperatures will really struggle, especially in Northern areas (as one would expect). It certainly won't feel like summer.
-
First week of August dominated by northerly winds and low pressure, a truly depressing start to the final month of summer! Not much sign of improvement by the second week either.

Yes it has been exceptionally dull in the West Midlands, because for some reason the region has been a cloud magnet (as is evident today).

Really? Looks wet and grim in most of South Yorkshire according to the radar/satellite.

Model Output Discussion - Mid Summer Onwards
Snowshine replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I don't think it's necessarily summer as a whole that's been garbage (as of yet), but rather this month. Spring was garbage, and so it would be unfortunate if the remainder of Summer remained as miserable as it is. All eyes are on August, but it does look like the first half of the month isn't offering much respite. -
The argument that some people here have against climate change doesn't really make sense. Just because a heatwave in a particular location hasn't been the most severe in history, doesn't mean that on a global scale temperatures haven't increased. Having said that, I do think heat warnings are being issued unnecessarily at times, and consequently people may end up taking them less seriously. For instance, in Greece they issued a "red heat warning" in the Ionian Islands where temperatures are only slightly higher than normal.

Adding 'disagree' to the reactions choices
Snowshine replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Help, support and feedback
So we shouldn't attempt to make things look better or improve them because "it's not broke"? Going by this logic, the site would still look like this: -
Model Output Discussion - Mid Summer Onwards
Snowshine replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Nonsense. The latest long-term outlook by the Met Office (and other credible forecasters) is depressing. We're almost guaranteed to be stuck with low pressure until at least the end of the month, unless you're talking about another country that is? -
You know, if it wasn't for the longer days I wouldn't be able to tell if it's July or October, especially on days like today. We skipped Spring, and after one month of Summer we seemed to have advanced to Autumn.

Storms and Convective discussion - July 2023
Snowshine replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Seems that my location has dodged every storm over the last three weeks... today being no exception. Southern areas have also been missing out in general.
