Business as usual here in Lewis,not been any ‘heatwave’ and no talk of a ‘breakdown’ from said either however,one comforting fact is,that the weather is perfectly normal here and ‘progged’ to continue as such.

Where did Scotland go?

A very benign day here at Port of Ness.Almost wind still,+5c reached...ours is coming by way of wind on Sunday and at points through the coming week and, looking stormy for all around the 27th.

Snow gates at Braemar closing.

I agree,nothing remotely zonal but same results...wet and windy,mild with colder interludes.No freeze up,no persistent or recurring cold cycles.Resetting to normal notwithstanding the SSW.I don’t like it either.

Why has the ‘members online’ facility disappeared?

Yes you did Tim.9th to 11th January was the target dates.It was dropped but reappeared.Let’s see how things progress.

Not liking this at all.Ok,southern England still taking some thing from the east but further north,that’s a southerly source of air with heights moving east.

I believe multiple repetitive cycles are a pattern.

Very tasty charts but I’m curious,how are they produced from so far back? Are they speculation based only?

This current temperature image would not be out of place in June...

So in other words,what would qualify as ‘IMBY’ and ‘off topic’ comments are ok if there is a record about to fall? Trust me on this,it’s all about London and the south east.

All the talk on the model thread is all about the south east of England’s heatwave and both Sky and BBC are hyping it up large.I’m sick of it and if conditions were reversed (Scotland only heatwave) the priority would still be the English weather,on the model thread and the media outlets.Some say that in a winter set up (where Scotland always scores better than English locations regarding snow fall,lying snow and temperature) then the model thread attention would swing to Scotland...I beg to differ as has happened in the past,” Can we please keep local weather or IMBY isms in the regional threads”

Aptly put,the country of two seasons.Somehow I like that.

Scotland,the land of the 5 month winter.
