  1. 15-16c 850hPa temps encroaching on the 06z GFS. Broadly the same synoptics as the last run!
  2. TwisterGirl81 20-22nd March seems to be a semi-consistent time frame on the GFS for a very mild southerly- One to watch! I'm looking for warmth and thunderstorms now haha.
  3. Paul I love seeing the NW radar gain new and improved features over time! Thanks for the work, still the best UK radar on the interwebs!
  4. 14.88mm of rain in 6 hours... Obligatory 'if only it was snow!' A streamer of sorts containing moderate-heavy rain has parked itself over a swathe of east Sussex, being driven in from the E/ENE. Will probably pick up another 10-20mm by 06:00 tomorrow.
  5. A very potent looking squall line on the outer reaches of the 15z UKV run today.
  6. I don't think I've ever grown tired of winter so fast... Supposed to be my favorite season by a mile, but this year has been a turgid slog indeed! Looking forward to the prospect of thunderstorms, unless the convective season is a bust too?!? The only spells that have stopped it from being a 0/10 were the mid January easterly and the December freezing fog.
  7. Metwatch Yeah I know what you mean! I was thinking more in terms of elevated, frequent lightning type storms really, as it's very rare to get one of that definition before then (although not impossible!) My end date for the season is 1st October, although that can be extended on rare occasions like 2023 with the big channel crosser on the 23rd that caught many people (myself included) out!
  8. Not too long until the convective season begins by my definition (1st April)! After a rather meager winter as far as cold and snow is concerned, I'm already finding myself looking ahead to the first warm and humid nights sat on the beach, looking out for distant flashes in the channel! I've been reminiscing on the best events in my lifetime by going back to archived threads on this forum... And the adrenaline-soaked first hand accounts that I often mash on the keyboard at 03:00 after being out for hours! I digress, but here's to another season! Let's make it one to remember!
  9. feb1991blizzard Synoptically similar, but no where near the severity of that legendary spell! I think we all have to remember that the sun becomes an increasingly formidable force as February wears on, so better uppers and deeper cold in general is needed for anything widespread/noteworthy! So I for one am keeping my feet on the ground for now (especially as an East sussex dweller). Edit: Mind you... The frames following that chart are not to be scoffed at! Certainly would be long lived/entrenched cold. .
