    Is Reading and its surronding areas included in this group or should I be in the southern one, not the SE one?  There should be a map or something that shows what areas actually are.

    I am in Fleet, NE Hants and generally drop in to the SE group, SW and occasionally Central Southern, usually depending on which direction the weather is coming from 😊

    Greenland High ... If I'm right ...!

    Doh!!!! Thank you. Obviously I'm a bit frazzled keeping up with the posts 🤯

    If you hover over it then Netweather tells you that you are 🙂

    And thank you too, my hovering doesn't seem to work though! 🙄

  3. Removing Christmas decorations on 12th night is a relatively modern practice from the 19th century, as the Christmas season ends at Candlemas on the 2nd Feb. So I enjoy the fruits of my decorating labour during those dark dreary winter days of January too.

    Interesting too is the fact people grumble about the season starting too early. Again, advent used to start 40 days before Christmas: it was a period of fasting before the feasting commenced on the big day itself. Although outside of the more religious western communities I doubt the fasting gains much traction. 😊

    So I am definitely on the side of enjoying the twinkling lights, glitter and cheer for as long as possible!

    Just awful.. heights to south will not budge…… every attempt for energy from north to drop through us is repelled by the Iberian heights.. you can have the best polar profile and vortex over the other side but those Iberian heights screw it up

    With the general cold positivity in the run up to December with the polar profile and background signals, is there any correlation between them and the Iberian heights. That is, are the heights always likely to appear in these set ups or are we just particularly unlucky this year?

    Teleconnective end result looks about as nailed on as it can be and given the speed of the MJO through the IO changes may occur at the early end of the “final third” envelope.

    A SSW at the turn of the year on top?

     

    I can't remember who mentioned it much earlier in the thread, but it was highlighted that an SSW could potentially scupper the prospects of cold if the teleconnections are aligned favourably. Is that the case or did I misunderstand?

    Time to bin this current spell, or rather 'snap'. Notably cold for a very short period but ultimately a fail.

    A week of 'get through' weather to come at least, then hopefully back on track for something proper. It was nice to see freezing fog at least and a date record minimum for my location.

    The freezing fog gave some gorgeous landscape views today. And we managed an ice day here in Fleet. 

    Currently still below at -1.7...but warming up 😫.

    So we finish autumn with the coldest November maximum since 2010 here (narrowly missed 2016 as December 01st was colder), and the coldest such maximum since January 24th.

     

    It is lovely to have crisp nights (currently -3.4C). Let the dogs out about 30 mins ago and was surprised to see everything glistening with frost already. Not to mention the crunchy grass. Perfect start to winter 👌

  8. Well I think I ought to call it a night now. Squall line just passed overhead with the expected biblical downpour and the winds now seem to be easing off. 

    Stay safe everyone and also enjoy the magnificence and awe inspiring energy of mother nature.

  9. Winds picking up now here in NE Hants, just recorded over 30mph gusts...they seem pretty sustained too.

    Battling with myself...should sleep but FOMO is keeping me awake ( along with the rattling blinds - no double glazing in our old cottage).

  10. Uptick in gusts here in NE Hants now. Pretty sure they are gusts but sound quite sustained at 26mph.

    It's interesting how it all seems not very much, but as a regular market trader any forecasts with gusts above 25mph make me nervous - they can cause a fair bit of damage to gazebos, stalls and stock so I guess it's the drama of Ciaran being unusual that makes current speeds here a bit disappointing from a weather geek perspective.
