  1. I’ve been looking through the precipitation charts for the coming weekend and see that, apart from over Northern hills, the breakdown is just going to involve rain. Could someone with more technical knowledge than me (that’s most on this thread ) tell me why, with all the cold air in place across the UK, it won’t involve at the very least a snow to rain event for all?
  2. Local stations here reporting temperatures of 32 degrees, which is a good deal lower than elsewhere in Suffolk. Think we have been saved by being only 10 miles or so from the coast, and also with the breeze being from that direction.
  3. Met Office and BBC in fairly decent agreement for my neck of the woods tomorrow, but that’s quite a difference for Tuesday! Why are they so far apart?
  4. Interesting difference between the Met Office and BBC forecasts for my location, with the Met going for a hotter day Monday and then a little less hot on Tuesday, whereas BBC suggesting less tomorrow but then hotter on Tuesday! Wonder who will be correct?
  5. Surprised to see the single 40 on this chart is so relatively close to the coast, would have thought that further inland would be the prone spots?
  6. Still 30/31 degrees in East Anglia / South East on Wednesday on GFS 12Z. Not exactly much relief!
  7. Only two or three runs don’t bring in the 20 isotherm on Monday; that’s pretty incredible really. Also notable that most continue the extreme heat into Tuesday too, unlike the ECM which seems to have a very different ending that day.
  8. Agreed, St Jude was, for about an hour or so, really quite frightening. It never got to that level here today despite being quite a strong storm.
  9. Would be interesting to see what the more recent runs showed, but I haven’t been able to find them posted anywhere yet.
  10. Noticed this earlier; big difference in the lying snow amounts between the 18z and 03z UKV. Accumulations on 03z in EA small and only near the Suffolk and Essex coast, whereas North Kent gets plastered. Rogue run or a trend? I suspect these charts aren’t necessarily to be relied on, hence the mention of experimental but that’s quite a big change.
  11. Suspect my proximity to the coast (about 10 miles inland) will mean mainly wet snow or sleet but certainly an amber snow warning for a large part of East Anglia isn’t something you see very often!
  12. Wow, that low deepens very rapidly as it moves across the country next week on the 18Z. Real issue with high winds if that came off.
  13. Well, had about 2-3cm here to start the day and a further top up to about 4 or 5cm about 10am but after that it's been dry and mostly sunny and any snow that was in the sunlight has all melted. Looking like some heavy showers expected for a time overnight as the wind direction changes before they become lighter and more scattered during tomorrow, so could be a repeat performance of today. Thursday looks dry and then it's all eyes on Friday potentially. I like snow but that's probably enough for me now, I'd prefer it to get more spring like as we go into March. However, hope that places that have missed out so far get some luck tomorrow with that wind direction change or on Friday with the approaching front.
  14. Wondering about the Northeastern extent of the streamer? Some maps have a potential 5-10 cms for eastern parts of Suffolk about 10 miles from the coast. Can remember benefitting from this setup in the past although obviously not to the same level as those down in SE Essex and Sussex/Kent.
