  1. Out of Wednesday and Thursday, Thursday looks the better bet for anything wintry, although still marginal TBH.  Wednesday uppers and dew points are the wrong side of marginal and freezing level is too high:

    Thursday evening uppers look better.

    But  were precipitation is forecast dew points look too high and freezing level is also higher:

    So at the moment East Anglia and the far east of Kent look to be the areas that could see something wintery, although elevation above 250/300m would  be needed and dew points need to be a couple of degrees lower than currently forecast for it to be snow rather than sleet.  Further west looks dry.

    Oh dear. Another day of grey nothingness! No sun, wind, rain or snow...... nothing but depressing grey. :(

     

     

    Yea the weather is not particularly exciting, having to put the heating on not because I am cold but because it is so damp outside that the washing will not dry and having to use radiators.  Looks like could see some mist and fog overnight which will not help things....

    Shame its all in old money. I learned celcius. Faranheit means nothing to me.

     

    You can change from imperial metric in the settings (cog icon on right-hand side of menu bar) don't even have to reload the chart, automatically switches it for you

    Not looking forward to next week. On a boat on the broads and the weather looks shocking. Last few septs have been lovely but minute we book a hol it turns sour. Is it really going to be that bad just hope rain is in the night but looks breezy throughout. :( 

    Yea i'm the same, got a week off work next week and would rather things were looking better.  Not going away but if its raining then i'm stuck inside and got no excuse not to do the decorating that my wife is nagging me to do :closedeyes:

  5. Cetertainly looks an interesting book Oliver, will pick up a copy of the e book in a couple of days .

    just on a side note, you might want to update the info on the paperback page as looks out of date now:

    I will send the book as soon as it is printed – probably June or July.

    On purchasing, you will receive a PDF of a draft copy of the book. It is missing a couple of photos and is not fact checked yet

    Cheers for the advice, that's a pity with the 17-40 as that's a brand new l series lens I bought specifically for this trip, now I'm wondering if I have made the right choice... I also have a Samyang f2.8 14mm ultra wide fully manual lens, and the longest in my possession is a 55-250 

     

    Nothing wrong with it and take it if you have room, but the 50mm is a faster and the 10-18 is wider if it was a faster lens like a 2.8 I would say take it instead of the 10-18mm.  I would take the 55-250, nothing worse than wishing you had something longer, I know you could crop in  the 18-200 images  but with the sort of conditions your shooting in your ISO is going to be relatively high  and you don't want to be adding more noise to your images by cropping them too much in post. 

  7. 18-200 for a general walkabout lense

    10-18mm for wide angle 

    are the two that would say definitely need.  50mm 1.8 prime is always a good solid lens to have.  Can't see much need for the 17-40 or 60mm.

    Might want to rent or buy something a bit longer as well, even on with your camera being an  APSC  you might find the 18-200 a bit short; something like a 70-300 or a 100-400.

  8. Yea it is certainly nice that we have got rid of the dull as dishwater weather that we have had recently.  As mentioned above the hi res models are all showing slight variations on the same theme for Thursday/Friday, but the main theme seems to be that rain will first affect more western areas and then move into our area during the evening on Thursday / over night into Friday.
