Been a pleasant summer overall so far - June was too hot, and since then we've had some rain to put up with, but on the whole it's been alright as far as I'm concerned. Plenty of useable weather, whereas if it was baking hot I'd be doing nothing but sat down doing nothing because of the heat.

Adding 'disagree' to the reactions choices
Paul_1978 replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Help, support and feedback
Is the "disagree" icon supposed to be a question mark? -
Really frustrated about tomorrows forecast. Been keeping a close eye on Sunday all week. The rain band was meant to be in the south at first, then across Scotland, and only in the last day have they said it’s coming through Yorkshire and the north. It just goes to show how hard the path of these rain bands is to forecast.
-
I have an interest in Sunday’s weather due to an event taking place in North Yorkshire. Yesterday’s forecast showed the rain mainly across the south: Today’s forecast shows the rain a lot further north: The Met Office shows the main band of rain further north still, with showers elsewhere. So frustrating….

Model Output Discussion - Mid Summer Onwards
Paul_1978 replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Well I’m not a fan of hot weather, but yesterday was ridiculous - it was like October, and that I do not like. Dry and pleasant would be great, but I’m not sure even that’s on the table at the minute. At least the water companies will be happy that the reservoirs are being topped up. -

Indeed - I'm enjoying the current set up.... very useable weather, warm in the sunshine, rain to help the reservoirs, farmers, plants and wildlife. As regards the models, the omega block continues to persist, but I've noticed this little feature on a couple of recent runs - maybe this will shake things up a bit and get us out of this impasse. -

I seem to recall these Omega Blocks do take some shifting. What should we be looking for to bring this impasse to an end? -
Indeed, there’s 2 months of summer left and we’re bound to have a warm/hot spell at some point. To be honest the main problem with me has been hayfever, and the cooler damp weather we have now keeps the pollen low. I guess I won’t mind warmer weather so much once the grass pollen season has passed

Another good set of runs this morning for those of us who don't like it hot

Indeed, another great run if you don't like heat and humidity, so should feel fresher for most - yesterday evening onwards was a great relief. However with the trough staying to the west, there is always the risk(?) of winds being drawn up from the south. -
I’m in Wakefield too - awful last couple of days. Bring on the fresher weather and rain. It can’t come soon enough.

Indeed......... whilst I personally don't like HOT weather, I'd be more than up for it being WARM and PLEASANT, however next weeks looks distinctly AUTUMNAL! -
Funnily enough mine has been ok since Sunday. First 2 weeks in June this year were as bad as it ever has been for me though. Should be ok next week though in the rain.
-
I’ve enjoyed the last couple of days as the pollen has been suppressed and my hayfever has been pretty good overall. Might be a different story from Thu to Sun, but the cooler and wet weather next week should keep pollen low. Don’t mind it warming up a bit once the grass pollen season has passed, but no more than 24/25°C will do nicely!
-
I feel there's a lot of straw clutching from some in the Model Output Discussion about hot weather, when the last few model outputs are going for a damp and cooler spell
-
Don't mind it being warm, but don't like it being hot. No one really needs it any warmer than 25C suerly - any hotter and you can't really do anything other than sit around. In other news, hayfever is really kicking off for me now, so personally I am wishing away the next 6 weeks until the grass pollen subsides at the end of July. Hope the last week in July arrives quickly!!

Model Output Discussion - Snow Watch limited edition
Paul_1978 replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
4 months of model watching, and right in the middle of the Amber zone and this is what I’ve got! You couldn’t make it up. Not convinced we’ll get much more tonight either. -
Model Output Discussion - A cold start to Spring?
Paul_1978 replied to Cheshire Freeze's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
For us Yorkshire folk, what do we make of this? Seems to be mainly rain south of the M62 corridor on Thursday. I'm in Wakefield and based on this animation it would seem to be all just rain on Thu/Fri? -
He's been waiting for snow all winter and Northwestsnow is conspicuous by his absence?!?!?!?
