Seasonality

Nice, I'm off to Zakopane next week for a few days so mountains and forests aplenty too of course!

Very true. But didn't change it being an overall average winter for the UK temperature wise.

Cheers for your thoughts @Froze were the Days yes indeed I was thinking of Poland in my case. Just sounds silly though as I was thinking exactly the same thing as you. And you're right about last winter in the UK, people forget one brief 'Beast' doesn't define the whole winter mean temp anomalies.

Thanks for posting. What on earth do accuweather mean by wet and chilly though? So vague and non-descript.

Ian? Not the notorious Ian of 'large teapot' fame surely... Maybe you meant Ian Beale from Eastenders.

Impressive stats there. I didn't mean to sound frivolous, I should qualify my comments by saying it has been pleasant in terms of human enjoyment but you're right, frightening in a broader environmental sense. Do you really think that a warm, mild winter could really be so catastrophic? The last straw as it were?

Liking that Atlantic pressure anomaly.

Any Express weather article should go in the make us laugh thread

About time I started updating this thread again. After a record breaking hot summer that started in April and went all the way through to September we now have a spectacular Indian summer. Cool mornings, some with a slight frost and sometimes thick fog are giving way to glorious sunny days with maximums of 20C. The Autumn leaves also seem particularly vibrant this year. This is due to last for the rest of the working week and moving forward there are hints of early wintriness for the following weekend. Fingers crossed for a proper winter to match the stunning summer.

Anything you're able to post blue?

Oh my, the winter madness begins again

Is he a mate of Nathan Rao from the Express?

As alluded to by @Summer Sun but also in the daily heil. Usual nonsense from the usual suspects, not Summer Sun of course let me hasten to add https://dailym.ai/2PSvxCr
