Well today and tomorrow temps down a notch here, and night time maxes down a touch too, all good. Although Weds slightly warmer than previously forecast, but can live with that... Also doesn't look like second plume will materialise, superb!

Of course, must be more like 42/43c then... -
Model Output Discussion - Autumn arrives
ribster replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I thought that usually applied to entrenched cold air, this definitely isn't that. Hopefully it gets blown to kingdom come! -

ribster replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Amen to that, thank-you. -
Fortunately looks like a couple of days then a brief cool off, then a couple more days and back to something more reasonable...

Lots of cloud and wind this summer, which has taken edge off temps and made evenings feel cool. Someone said Beeb/Met slow to catch up with weekend temps, 22c/9c forecast here tomorrow, is that hot? Not going to be very wrong at less than 24 hours. Might get a couple of days 29/30 in mid- July pffft

Lets hope not, desperately need rain. Good job there's not a global grain shortage, oh wait...

Spring and Summer weather moans
ribster replied to Community Team's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Had to laugh at the number of times I think it was yesterday or Sunday the BBC forecaster said, 'it's a little too early to give up on summer just yet.'. Thought it rather odd to say half way through June, seems rather ominous to me, must be seeing something -
Looks pretty average to me, certainly all that is on offer currently is a one day wonder. Plenty of summer to go yet though, so no doubt there will be some further episodes of heat, but mostly shortlived I imagine.

It's not been hot yet, not sure what the fuss has been all about, it's been cool by late afternoon under the cloud. Not a fan of heat, but I can tolerate a one day wonder which will be blink and you'll miss it, better still it's a significant change the day after, and a few days later it's the solstice and we can begin the long and slow decline into shorter days - wahoo!

Winter 2021-22 Chat, Moans and ramps thread
ribster replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I don't think that's the implication at all, although granted at this time of year that's the type of weather most are perhaps looking for? Certainly not looking for a monsoon and storm force winds anyway... -

I don't know about the hunt for cold, it's been a wonderful week of wintry weather here, absolutely beautiful! -
Model discussion - hunt for cold - Christmas countdown
ribster replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
That applies equally to those poised to pounce on a 'poor' run, usually notable by their absence up until that point... -

No golden snow for me cheers -
That's as good as my other half this evening when I walked in with the takeaway, my goretex was soaked and she asked 'not raining out is it?'

Model Output Discussion - Winter arrives
ribster replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Completely and utterly agree with this, been lurking this season for a while, as I often do, and I've seen nothing of the sort. All good stuff so far, long may it continue... -

I was referring to this week, warm again today at 25c, but certainly not a heatwave here. -

Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter
ribster replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
The excitement is unbearable, 2 whole days, 27c and then 26c. Not sure I can contain myself -
Summer 2021: Moans, Groans, Ramps and Banter
ribster replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Indeed, not sure about a heatwave. Another cloudy day after a max around 20 yesterday. A few days of mid to high twenties before dropping off again. Not quite knicker wetting stuff! -
model discussion Model output discussion 11th July onwards
ribster replied to MATTWOLVES 3's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Indeed, only yesterday there was talk of this not being a few days affair, instead 10 to 14 day hot spell I believe. Which is no more guaranteed than 10 to 14 days of the opposite. So if +144 can be discussed for that, then surely it can be discussed when presenting an alternative view? -

I think you miss the cut of my drift young man, I've been around a long time! -

ribster replied to minus10's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
I'd agree, far from poor, the models have a certain je ne sais quoi to them, best model watching since I don't know when. We are also the right side of the solstice, smashing!
