    Well how about you put these zealots and turd polishers on ignore and then your day will not be interrupted by their posts seeing as how you consider them so worthless. Most of those posting on 'background signals' rarely 'ramp' and just discuss trends and suggestions going forward. Some of those who add 2+2 and make 25 from those discussions are the ones you should be complaining about. The background signals cannot 'fail'. They are what they are (and their predictability is no better than anything else in the models). The only fail comes when folks hang too much on them either through a lack of understanding or a desire for a particular outcome.

    Plus the large area. Usually when the south gets a storm the north is OK but almost the entire UK got a battering, hence the reasons for some plane diverts to Europe.

    Not everybody is asleep during the night. Many people work at night and the information gets used by authorities and Governments beyond the information to the general public. A red warning was issued appropriately and will have been acted upon by authorities. Red warnings are only issued when there is certainty of severe impacts. They are rightly issued rarely and for short periods at short notice. As an example Aerodrome Weather Warnings were issued yesterday by the Met Office as part of the warning system, and as we know it was pretty chaotic last night in the aviation world so entirely appropriate.

    But we do have a warning system in place. If you choose to ignore it then so be it. Common sense doesn't always apply as often it is based on incorrect assumptions.

    You are just being contrary now. On the basis of what you have said there would never be any warnings, which is a completely different discussion. An amber warning was issued and the post storm evidence for Wiltshire suggests that it was appropriate to warn people about dangers on the road / rail / air etc as there were indeed dangers such as fallen trees. Not sure why you have a problem with that?
  6. chapmanslade
    The amber warning was completely appropriate for Wiltshire. About 90 minutes of severe conditions yesterday evening with power cuts and roads closed because of trees (A303 and A36) That is EXACTLY why an amber warning was issued and was correct. Probably waiting for the line to be confirmed safe before working

    Ours put themselves out!

    Was the Met Office yellow warning (including Bristol) not enough for you? Not sure who 'Charlie boy' is but Ian Fergusson @fergieweather on the BBC Points West was clear about the warning and about the uncertainty over how far north the rain would get. Far from a 'fail'

    Not especially warm either at just 5C now. Very heavy rain for the last 3 hours

    Radar shadow not drier air

    You have already answered your own question !
  12. chapmanslade
    Murmurations are created by large groups of Starlings, most of which stay in the UK year around with a top up from Northern Europe - so no!
  13. chapmanslade
    Stupid comment. Many people died in severe weather events that don't now because of warnings. Never mind those injured that didn't die. Your contrary views are tiresome
  14. chapmanslade
    Maybe in Leeds, but 5 or 6 days in a row over 20C is pretty amazing for October in the South of the UK

    Lightning maps real time didn't keep up with reality.
