Brilliant Paul cheers for that! Looks like it'll be back for the big event on Monday!
-
Brilliant cheers Paul, let's hope it's fixed sooner rather than later! This is the time we really need it!!
-
Anyone have any idea what's up with the radar in the SE of England today? Its seems to have cut a large chunk it of it out.

Have you started putting your scarf and gloves on?
Rob replied to Jasmine's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Heating has been on since mid Oct, have only resorted to wearing gloves/scarf two mornings so far this Winter, however that will change soon no doubt! -
As I'm aware we are expecting light snow showers overnight, giving no more than a dusting for much, which the radar is currently reflecting, so i'm confused as to what you are expecting?
-
That would be very nice indeed Ryan
-
I honestly believe they think it's going to be alot stronger than that, wait for their next update and see if they increase their speed predictions!
-
Trees are slowly beginning to turn those wondering warm and vibrant autumnal colours, I really do love Autumn!
-
You really sticking your neck out with that forecast! Hope it doesn't come back to bite you!

UK Convective General Discussion & Forecasts
Rob replied to Coast's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
I think the best chance for anything convective was yesterday, any showers this week are very unlikely to show any thundery potential, fingers crossed we get a thundery outbreak late September/October before we move into winter! -
I do love seeing those charts this time of the year, beginning to look forward to winter now
-
Don't be silly, far from a dumb question, that's the point of being on a forum so you can ask if you aren't sure The gusts may be strong so I wouldn't advise on it!
-
My averages were: December: 1.4c January: 5.4c February: 7.3c So pretty much in tune with SP1986, December being way below average however February brought the season average right up, hense why people are saying it was a mild winter, however if you look back in detail it really wasn't!
-
Never say never, as we all know the weather can suprise us, but it's about 95% certain now that this is going to track toward the UK
-
January definately wasn't mild! I think just because it doesn't snow much people don't remember it as a cold month, but in realisitic terms it was freezing most mornings!

93mph - Stornoway

A 50mph gust can be quite damaging! Especially at the trees are still in full leaf!

Ex Katia - UK Bound. Forecasts and in-depth discussion
Rob replied to Paul's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
It's very interesting that the NMM shows the system arriving later and further south that the other models, it would tie in well with the Met Office extending the warning southward, perhaps the NMM is on to something here? -
I've recorded 31mph here, I wouldn't pay much attention to the model based forecast speeds, most seem to be underplaying just how powerful this storm really is, I think the Met Office are on the right tracks with their forecast warnings. Perhaps along the extreme south coasts but definately no further inland!
-
What winds? I think the highest I recorded here in Kent was a 35mph gust!
-
I think there has been suggestions that the gulf stream has infact slowed, but whether there's any scientific proof behind it to verify this, I don't know.

Model Output Discussion - September Onwards
Rob replied to Bottesford's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
That bodes well with the latest NHC advisory which sees the storm beginning to take a NE path as it moves up to the east of the USA, something to watch out for! -
Weather Report for Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom Date: 11 September 2011 Time: 13:14 Current Weather Partly Cloudy Observations Temp: 20.4°c Feels: 20.4°c Dew Point: 4°c Pressure: 1006.0mb Visibility: 10km Cloud Cover: Few Humidity: 33% Rain Today: 0mm Current Snow Depth: N/A Wind: 10mph from the WSW Gust: 20mph UV: 5 out of 10 Station Forecast: Stormy
-
Seeing as the warning is for wind, I doubt it's for rain somehow.... I can see exactly why the Met Office have extended the warning, the models are showing potential for gusts up 70mph or even 80mph in some exposed spots in these parts, well within weather warning criteria I believe.
-
It doesn't appear that we are in an ice age so i'm guessing not!
