Hurricane Florence
robb replied to Iceberg's topic in Hurricanes, Cyclones and Extreme weather worldwide
Should have a grandstand view of Florence tomorrow from 40,000ft as I'm flying to the Dominican Republic. Today's flights have skirted round her to the west. Should imagine they will go round to the east of her tomorrow. -

M6 buoy to the west of Ireland is in the firing line and pressure is falling rapidly there now. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=62095&unit=M&tz=STN -
Storm Doris - Atlantic Storm 4
robb replied to Summer Sun's topic in Storms & Severe Weather Discussion
Living in the Wirral area this is not good news. I've seen many severe NW gales over the years and the funnelling effect between the Clwyd Hills and the Pennines/Peak District as deep depressions pass to the east can give very damaging gusts through the Wirral, Merseyside and the Cheshire Gap. -
06Z GFS ensembles show some very worrying charts though for Fri/Sat, especially coming so soon after Wednesday's storm

Coldest and Snowiest winter on record (2013/2014)
robb replied to Timbo's topic in Weather Discussion - Spring
I was only 13 years of age then and even I, as a snow and cold lover, got fed up with it. No central heating, outside loo frozen numerous times, side roads like skating rinks for 3 months. Not sure we would cope if we had another prolonged winter like that, the strain on energy supplies and the transport system would be far greater now. Anyway back to March 2013 here is a selection of pics taken around Eryrys in North Wales on 24th March. It's about 350m ASL. Have included a Google Earth image of Eryrys without the snow. Enjoy- 39 replies
