  1. Those temperatures are perfectly feasible, and this is why: http://www.seafordweather.co.uk/wl/UKSeaTemp.htm The North Sea still in single figures. As I said earlier, those hoping for warmth in the east next week will probably end up disappointed. West is the place to be, but even here those winds will subdue the temperatures. Plenty of fine weather around though, just a shame the temperatures will still be below normal for many.
  2. Ooof, I'm glad I no longer live near the east coast, could be pretty cool and dull at times later next week IMO with that north-easterly flow: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm1441.html Parts of Wales could be the best place to be next week. Overall not a bad outlook and certainly a vast improvement on recent weeks, but that wouldn't be difficult. Must admit thought that I'm not totally excited by the outlook from a warmth and sunshine point of view...I think some may end up pretty disappointed but having said that most places should at least get a couple of decent days out of this next week, and some will see a week of good weather, but beware those close to the east coast and that cold, cold North Sea...
  3. Was snowing hard last night when I returned home from Manchester at around 9:30pm, it was crazy to leave Manchester with the car thermometer showing 7C in the city centre, yet I got to Rossendale and it was -0.5C and snowing. There's normally a few degrees difference between the two locations, but last night was pretty crazy!
  4. Signs similar to which have been in the far depths of FI now for weeks. I really wouldn't hold your breath.
  5. And that's another week gone with cold conditions dominating: Granted, the uppers aren't as cold as currently, but none the less with the wind it will feel pretty cold once more next week. To think at one stage it looked like turning milder by Easter, here we are still chasing anything milder way, way in the depths of FI.
  6. I do feel sorry for those who live along the east coast this spring and early summer following this extended cold spell.. When, eventually, conditions do warm up, there will be a horrendous amount of sea mist/fog and low cloud plaguing eastern areas everytime the wind is from an easterly direction thanks to those North Sea temperatures being so subdued. Given synoptic patterns that could be a very frequent occurrence indeed, more so than normal.
  7. Snowing moderately here and gradually increasing in intensity. Much "nicer" snow this with the bigger flakes and less wind.
  8. On and on and on and on.... Today: GFS T+192: Anyone want to punt on a bid for the coldest Spring on record? I think this year has an excellent chance.
  9. UKMO T+144 threatens another cold pool returning from the northeast:
  10. Still well below where they should be for the time of year. The worse of the cold possibly easing somewhat by the end of Easter, but overall it remains an extraordinary outlook for below normal temperatures. UKMO T+96: UKMO T+120: If anything I spot a trend towards winds heading more into a northerly quarter next week.
  11. One thing I think that is worth a mention is how consistent the model output has been over the last few days. Considering the difficulties posed by the current decaying system, the outlook for next week has been a jolly cold one now for a few days. Given that the models often struggle in unusual set-ups, I think they've been performing pretty well in the last couple of days. The ECM is another bitter run for the end of March and it's looking pretty certain that this will continue into early April:
  12. With a Day 10 mean chart like this from the 12z GFS I certainly won't be expecting to see anything milder yet: Whilst the number of runs wanting to turn it milder before the end of March are gradually diminishing in number as the trend to a cold start to April gathers pace: Manchester ensembles: http://modeles.meteo...un=12&runpara=0
  13. Still snowing...this is getting boring now (not!). Some potential for somewhat heavier outbreaks in places this evening, an area of slightly more unstable conditions heading west/northwest across East Anglia, Lincolnshire and the north Midlands in the coming hours.
  14. If you want milder conditions then I'd advise that you seriously look at booking a trip abroad. The cold is here to stay for many, many days yet, and well into April: http://modeles.meteo...fs-0-264.png?12 http://modeles.meteo...fs-1-264.png?12 Even at the end of the first week of April the 12z GFS brings in very cold easterlies with a Scandinavian High:
  15. Quite a night here with snow all night but the main feature was the wind blowing it about. So much wind in fact I honestly don't know how much snow fell because it's just all drifted. Another excellent event for my first winter in Rossendale, even if I did have to abandon my car and walk a mile home last night!
