If only it was ..... On this occasion its a warm easterly ..

Mike Poole thanks Mike I'm afraid I'll breach every NW filter imaginable if I type what I really think of the last 6 months of "weather " locally. As always, in unsettled phases the NW cops for the majority of Atlantic systems but this period has been beyond the pale. Like many others I'm desperate for some warmth and sunshine but I'm struggling to see anything resembling this on the 00z NWP . Late season SSW is disastrous for Spring so I always get a feeling of dread when we see SSW's in late Winter. One year we'll see a major SSW in November and get the benefit HL blocking when most of us want to see it,ala Dec/Jan NOT April/May..

It's raining . I suppose we should be thankful for the odd dry day . I'm in my 50s and I've never seen anything like the last 6 months or so..

It's becoming beyond the joke now. If this is anything to do with GW we are screwed...

It just goes on and on and on...

Thank God the 00z runs are moving towards HP having more influence from mid month. It's hardly stopped raining since October in the North west....absolutely appalling 6 months of Atlantic dominated weather.

After months of rain here comes the snow ( in spring ,as i predicted months ago )..

EC day 8 our climate is a joke at this point.

After literally months of rain and slate grey skies there is hope of a change this morning. EC mean day 9 ...

Mike Poole Hopefully we will see a settling down as we move through April. EC 12z looks unsettled out to day 10 . One can't help but wonder if the Atlantic ssts are to blame Regardless chasing winter weather Nov - Feb is fast becoming a complete waste of time in our new climate..

DTHFCJ let's hope you are right

It just goes on and on.. as if we havent had enough garbage since what, October ? GW inspired Atlantic ssts are going to give us the wettest climate in the NH,NW England in particular is just horrific..

It's just unrelenting garbage.

Cloud 10 Atlantic ssts are devastating the chances of high latitude blocking taking hold IMHO. Welcome to the new UK climate , I'd suggest the chances of cold winters are becoming more and more remote as the Atlantic warms... Only my opinion of course...

I'm afraid EC 12Z just makes me hate our new climate even more.

Suprise suprise.. Here come the Stella winter charts, in spring.

feb1991blizzard would love that in December

Some amazing synoptics on offer this morning. It's after the Lord Mayor's show for me personally after another wretched winter but I can appreciate beautiful synoptics whenever they arise.

As March approaches my attention turns to something dry at least. Little sign of that on the 00z runs.EC if anything deteriates by day 10 .. Another winter passes by with hardly any snow or cold to speak of even up here at 300m ASL. Those Atlantic ssts will need watching as we head towards Autumn ,im blaming the warm seas for the almost relentless rains since November ,locally at least..

Ali1977 typical. 4 weeks earlier a different story..

Dennis I wish I could Dennis .. we be back in November to try again

Dennis sadly Dennis its a lot more rain on EC 00Z.

KTtom for some reason I thought Dennis was in the Nertherlands

Dennis thanks for providing excellent analysis through the winter. I'm sure you are as fed up as we are but you manage to keep optimistic somehow. Sometimes the charts come off ,sometimes they don't ,that's life i guess ..

Guys there is a post mortem thread 00z runs all suggest an angry looking Atlantic midterm with potential for some very snowy weather for high ground up North . For the majority of the country it just looks crap though.
