  1. 2 ambulances at my lad's school today. One teacher and one student collapsed. In the 1970s, I suppose they'd have just given them a slap around the face and told them to get on with it.
  2. Current Weather - UK and Ireland - Netweather WWW.NETWEATHER.TV The latest weather conditions, temperatures and windspeeds across the UK
  3. Yeah, my mum and dad live there. Said the distribution point was chaos: like a scene from a war zone.
  4. Impeccable timing from Anglian Water: South Wootton water distribution 'shambles' WWW.LYNNNEWS.CO.UK Queue stretches down road as hundreds are still without water supplies well over 24 hours since it went off.
  5. Bright, clear, warm spring day. Give it a few more days and I'll be moaning about the drought.
  6. ECM gotta ECM. Fine and settled for the most part though, albeit Sun/Mon could see a little rain pushing northwards IMBY.
  7. I did notice an intense horizontal band of precip south of Norwich through Yarmouth a little earlier, but there are very few stations (amateur or otherwise) reporting in that area as far as I can tell.
  8. You might as well be posting from the Moon for all the relevance that your location has to those in the south with their roofs being removed.
  9. Yes. UK climate extremes WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK UK climate extremes Select 'Gust Speed' as the parameter.
  10. Indeed. It's amazing that some folk who frequent a weather forum have no idea how weather works. It's like standing in the eye of a hurricane and wondering what all the fuss is about.
  11. Just 7mph off the English record. Could it go today?
  12. Max Gust 189 km/h (117mph). That would blow away the cobwebs. Edit: Would be threatening some of these records, if recorded: UK climate extremes WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK UK climate extremes
  13. It really is bizarre. This should be all over the headlines, but - as it stands - people are going to take no notice of an amber warning.
  14. What's the corridor for a sting jet: 30 to 40 miles? I suspect (or hope, really) it will be slightly to my south. Got friends coming down tomorrow from up north. I've told them to get here before lunch if they are coming.
  15. Global circulation models take no notice of coronal mass ejections. The CME of Dec 20th didn't reach Earth until the 24th (and mostly missed us, luckily). The easterly was dead in the water well before then: no need to blame the sun.
  16. Overall, there is slightly less data on the 6z/18z, but from certain specific sources there is actually more data. For example, the 18z gets more upper air satellite sensor data on average than any of the other runs and that's obviously an extremely important source of data. Moreover, the 18z will be initialised from the T6 output of the 12z anyway, so it's already used the data that went into that run.
  17. Yes. It's the model that is poor (relatively), not the individual runs. There was a full presentation I found years ago from an NOAA modeller comparing all the runs in fine-grained detail. The verification differences were negligible. Given that each run is initialised from the previous run's 6 hour output and then merged with the latest data, it's not that surprising: it's the same code after all.
  18. I checked that a few years ago and it wasn't true: the 4 runs have virtually identical verification stats. However, it's hugely unlikely to be correct. ALL the other models are sinking the HP into Europe. It'll be gone in 6 hours or so.
  19. Down to the lake, I fear. MLB perhaps. High pressure around about the UK, but not enough amplification to advect truly cold air in. Hopefully settled and dry though. Could be worse.
