And anyway, back to the models please!

Great Dun Fell has recently reached 113mph. Latest Top Gusts: http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=current;type=maxg;sess=

NMM wind forecast shows winds peaking in Wales and NW England during the next few hours, more 100mph+ gusts on the cards.. Take care if you're in affected regions, flying debris is likely to be a real hazard..

HI, I think you're perhaps misunderstanding the navigation a little - the free and extra sites are separate, so when you're logged in you can still access all of the free features + the lite features in addition - there are links to the free areas on the right hand side of the navigation when in extra, and when in the free area, clicking extra will take you back to the extra homepage. The extra section of the site doesn't include all of the free elements on top - they stay on the free side, but it should be seamless for you to go between the 2. The lite subscription is essentially the 5 minute radar, the 5 minute atd lightning, additional detailed forecasts, plus additional key charts from our models over and above the freely available ones, and all that's in there is an addon to what is available for nothing on the rest of the website. We're always looking to improve things so we'll definitely take your feedback into account, but if in the meantime you'd like to arrange a refund, we have a money back 7 day guarantee that you're welcome to use - just drop us a line via the contact page here: http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=contact;sess=

Update from Jo, looking at the red alert, what to do if you're in an affected area and what sort of wind speeds are expected during the remainder of today. http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=5677;sess=

It uses cookies to keep you logged in, so if it's not doing so it's best to check your browser settings to make sure you're not blocking cookies or have it set to clear them whenever you close the browser down

We have a selection of free data including the ensembles, the full sub gives access to a much larger set of charts, data etc In terms of your postcode being applied - the only place where that will save in a cookie and affect the page is on the local forecasts where it'll load your last location in but beyond that it won't be used to pinpoint maps or anything. On the radar there is a geo-locate feature which depending on your browser settings will ask you whether you want it to use your location and if so it'll zoom you in to it, but that can be reset through your browser if you wish. Also on the radar there's a button to save settings, so if you hit that when you're not on the postcode zoom it'll store than option for you for next time.

Hi, sorry you're having some problems. To answer your first question - the lite subscription doesn't include the additional ensemble data as that's part of the full subscription, there is a drop down menu at the top of each page in extra which groups everything into each subscription type, but you're correct that the other links are common so you will see options which aren't part of your sub. There are help buttons on various features which give further info, we also have an ensembles help sheet which you can view here: http://www.netweather.tv/secure/cgi-bin/pages/ensembles1.pdf There is a lot of really good info in our guides area too: http://forum.netweather.tv/forum/5-the-netweather-guides/ NMM is the in house model we run here at Netweather - it's the Non-hydrostatic mesoscale model which has been created by NCEP, GFS is the global forecast system, and the GEFS is the Global ensemble forecast system - both also from NCEP. The P1-P19 are the different 'members' of the run, so the model is run many times which each member (or perturbation) having slightly different starting conditions to simulate how small changes may affect the overall forecast - so if a lot of these options are clustered together you can have higher confidence in that outcome than you may have if just a couple of the members are showing it. I hope that helps a little Paul

HI Steve, I've just changed a setting back that was changed yesterday, can you try again please?

Look at this lot about to arrive into the Alps - big dump of snow on the way!

But as you're seeing the issue in multiple browsers, others are managing to upload to the gallery ok, and there's nothing erroring on the servers it's hard to think of anyother likely common cause at this point.

I've just uploaded a 3mb file without issue, I think it's perhaps timing out for you which I guess would happen if your connection isn't too fast and the upload takes a while, as I really can't find any other reason for it to be happening.

Quite sizeable then, are you doing them one at a time?

I can only think it's the size of the image, how big is it?

Can't say I've seen this happen, and not sure why it is but I'll try to get to the bottom of it. Is it still occurring? Can you upload the same image to a post?

Huge snowfall in the Alps over the coming days, including today. But closer to home, the Scottish ski resorts have epic conditions too - Jo's blogged about it here http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=5665;sess=

It's something on the data itself I'm afraid, so we're in the hands of the metoffice to clean it

For the final time, this thread is for discussing the models, not just cold, everything. If people want to focus on cold that's fine if it's model related, if people want to focus on the here and now that's fine as long as it's model related, and if people want to look at deep fi, that's fine too so long as it's model related. So hopefully you get the jist - model discussion is fine in this thread regardless of the slant, so please can we put an end to this apparent need to tell people what they should and shouldn't be posting about.

Last chance for some people in here - it's getting ridiculous how those involved can't seem to deal with people having different opinions, perspectives or interests when it comes to discuss the models. 1. People who mention the word mild, or who don't look for snow/cold at every turn aren't trolling - so those treating them as such need to stop. 2. People who are looking for cold and want to discuss it, so long as it's model related are welcome to, so those telling them they shouldn't also need to stop. 3. Model discussion means just that, so if your post doesn't fit into that category don't post it. And finally, for those of you acting like it's some sort of playground in here, please grow up - you're not only wrecking the thread for others, and you're making yourselves look really ridiculous.

Ah ok, maybe update it to the latest one see if that helps.

Yep, the message about weatherlink says it's 5.4.3b3 beta on the screenshot there, I assume there's probably a stable version available.

The only thing I can suggest is that it's perhaps a bugin the software as you're using a beta version there which may have some problems within it, perhaps install a stable version rather than the latest beta to see if that helps?
