Model Moans, Ramps and Banter
Chief Wiggam replied to Polar Maritime's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Absolutely cracking day in the Solent area.....gin clear skies and not at all cold out of the wind. What is noticeable is the strength of the sun. Looking at the MOD thread it seems likely that the end of the week sees wet and milder rather than the blizzards forecast recently. By this time next week spring will be in the ascendancy -

Spring is coming but MOD thread is in denial....... Just awaiting the first "see you in November" post. I find it all rather bizarre when "we deserve it" and similar are posted... -

The sun is strong today and the cold models are weakening.... Roll on spring Double digit temperatures in the South and absolutely no indication of deep cold. -

It's starting to look like the bosoms are pointing vertically in the model thread. In the real world in the South there's no hint of winter, the sun is noticeably stronger and as a result I cannot see the cold being as described. -
Model output discussion - proper cold spell inbound?
Chief Wiggam replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
As I write this the sun (Solent area) is streaming through the window and is clearly now starting to be a factor. Is there a model which gives any solar strength.... Please excuse me for a lack of technical terms. Thanks -

Ahhhh, never mind the first Daffodils.... The first sight of the traditional "winter's over" comment on the models forum signals the official start of Spring -

What's not to like with weather like this (taken yesterday). So warm at 3pm that outer layers came off and a glorious sunny afternoon -

Spectacular over here - crisp wind from the NE and best described as 'bracing' - long may it continue -

Happy to be proved wrong but having looked at the models I see nothing to change my mind. In fact the other day the car in shadow was frozen but the rear was in the sun and steaming. It always surprises me to see the sheer power even at this time of the year. -

Not that far away but the pesky Solent heat reservoir is doing the normal job -

Wind from the North West has increased significantly but the rain keeps on falling, even harder now. No chance for snow unless we have a serious temperature drop -

Nothing but rain here but on a positive note the salting starting at 15.00 so the drains will be highly saline by now -

It's just a cold wet day here, no wind and I cannot see how the current conditions are going to change for any snow. -
Storm Angus - the first named storm of the season

Yup, nothing more than a bog standard gale..... -
Storm Angus - the first named storm of the season
Chief Wiggam replied to Paul's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
It's not as bad as anticipated at present, Chimet is only at 43 knots and the forecasts were in the 65 upwards range. I would think that with a change to SW this is not particularly remarkable when compared to the recent winters.............give it another couple of hours and things might change of course
