The strength of the sun on April 18 is equivalent to the sun's strength on August 24, so we would be expecting the current UV levels to be similar to the very end of summer.
Yep spot on, people on here usually mention how August is the best summer month because the suns strength is at its lowest, I think the sun now is very pleasant unlike from mid May to late July.

Beautiful weather today, a lovely cool northerly wind, dying down by tonight with a widespread frost with temps around 0C and below rurally, so much for the heatwave, only the sun's power gives it a warm feel, in the shade it feels much cooler, typical mid April weather and definately nothing out of the ordinary, getting bored of the hype for typical weather conditions, looks unsettled and cool by sunday.
-
Pretty amazed by the CET as it hasn't been that warm at all here, nights pretty cool too, shows you how cool a month on average April is as if it was June it wouldn't be called a warm month so far.
Temps so far in April in Coventry which is a big city have been 13C to 15C with 16C being the highest, it was much warmer in late March with 20C being reached, felt fresher past week too.
-
Temperatures are expected to hit around 19C in south east over coming days - well above average of 13C
LOL not here it won't, the airmass is far from out of the ordinary for mid April, actually could be very cold rurally next few nights, 29C has been reached in mid April.
Hilarious watching people calling the weather hot yesterday for the London marathon, I really wish we had it hot to watch them wilt
-
UKMO not going for anything warm this weekend I see, next week they go for a continuation of easterly winds, I think next week is a very tough call indeed, will the block to the NE remain and keep us in cool easterlies or will it move away slightly allowing a moister warmer southerly flow eventually leading to the atlantic getting back in, extremely difficult to know at this stage.
-
May as well have all months this year from March above average CET now and save the chance of below average CET's for winter 2014/2015.

Only 4c in parts of the Midlands at 1200 cf 14c here! (now 15.5c).

Sun breaking through at Coventry temps should rocket:
LOL, yeah rocketed to the dizzying heights of 9C/10C, around the seasonal average and that was only for a few hours, it was very chilly most of the day and temps soon plummeted after 5 pm.

Some absolute nonsense being spouted about unseasonable warmth this week, temps will not be that far off average infact with chilly nights. today felt much cooler than yesterday.

Wow April is one of the best months of the year for interesting weather, beats any summer month easily.

LOL, always amuses me when people expect spring to be one long dry warm season, check the averages and you'll see a different story, around 2C colder than your average Autumn, Autumn is useless for cold, Spring isn't and the thought of a boring 6 months of HP doesn't exactly inspire me, so hoping the jet remains active for a good while yet so we can have some interesting PM northwesterlies in April when they are interesting, amazes me how people on here want stormy weather in winter only when its the best time for HP and cold/frost but the rest of the year they want boring HP, strange.

another double digit day here today..this mild spell just goes on and on and on
LOL and they thought it was mild here, hardly any double digit max's here this January.
-
6 degrees is the mean temperature at which grass grows.. so we may see a bit of stunted early spring growth.
lol don't think the past few days will help in the grass growth Damian, very frosty mornings, no early spring growth here as it isn't that mild, no silly max temp records gone this winter which is a good thing.
Ps gavin please use more modern average CET's in your mild biased posts please
-
Even though this winter has been dreadful for the midlands southwards, in relation to mildness it could of been a lot worse like 1988/89 for example, apart from the past few days it has felt quite chilly this January especially North Midlands northwards, showing you that even mild atlantic dominated weather can feel chilly just like July average weather can feel very warm.
-
Not sure what's so special about mid 30's C in Brazil/Argentina for gods sake in their summer, what next mid 30's C in Eastern Europe is newsworthy in the summer, the severe cold and snow is alot more special in the USA.
Also the cold airmass forecasted for next week is from the NE not crossing the atlantic from the USA at all, its pretty obvious that the UK is not going to experience windchill factors into the -60's C, very poor from Louise there.

Yes OP its been an absolute disaster so far with no air frosts here either which is unusual for this late in December, models still not really offering much hope of the atlantic onslaught faltering much and that January which is renowned for an active jet doesn't offer much hope either, it really is a dire outlook for proper cold as we approach January.
I think the back end of January going into February offers more hope though but I would be very surprised to see anything approaching the negative temperature anomalies of recent very cold winter months anytime this winter.
-
Aarghhh! This winter has been an unparalleled for onionseness in modern times. Might as well right if off now. 8-10C until March and then rain. Looks like the mini ice-age predictions were wrong. Why can't winter just be winter. Is 10ft of snow on the 31st October lying until the 31st June too much to ask for. I'll slit my wrists if we don't get better weather soon I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad you baboons.
LOL, didn't know there were any Baboons posting on here, there are Buffoons though

LOL, a few days ago I joked the next place to see proper wintry weather along with Lebanon would be the Sahara Desert, should of said Egypt

Hi all. Been very busy of late.... Anyway regarding " Practising face palm techniques " The last few weeks there's been plenty of that going on, I have been popping in from time to time
and have been keeping an eye on the models, But just run after run of .....Crap, Boring, Zonal, Mild, Muck
.But looking at the models this morning around the Xmas-Newyear holiday period things certainly look Wintery! I'm not going to say too much its far too soon, But there's Hints that things are on the change and with jet looking to go further south (more all less on every run) it could change quite quickly for the better
.Mmmmm.... I wonder
So FI then so shouldn't be taken too seriously.
-
We can only sit this out until some upstream amplification of the jet works it way into the Atlantic pattern to change things.
Yeah in April
-
The prospects for cold weather fans are even worse than for Man Utd fans, as emotional says i think we can safely write off this winter already apart from frost/fog and hope next winter plays ball.
The pattern we currently have is the worse, HP too far east to give us seasonal weather and the atlantic too far west to reset the pattern and at least give us some exciting weather even if mild, its all in a no mans land for the next few weeks and ECM 00Z really is a horror show even GFS runs are better.

Yes, there are strong signs going forward of something very similar to 88/89. Certainly the US guys are anticipating a very flat pattern for January.
Yes the 25th anniversary of that god awful winter and wouldn't it be fitting if it occurred exactly 25 years later.
I don't think it will be that bad though, December and January will be have some cold inversion type weather in SE Britain, I see the worst of the mild being in the NW.
I can't see anything that positive until early to mid February when blocking should be more dominating in the right places, we have a stale mate atm with a huge high over europe not wanting to budge but the atlantic still strong enough not to allow it to dominate our weather and likely to last for a good while yet, I don't think Jan will be that flat but more like what we had these past few weeks though very poor for proper winter fans as chilly cloudy weather is not what they want.
-
Just popped in MOD and its the same pessimists ruling the roost as per usual, expected a mild zonal fest on the models and was shocked to see a stonking ECM 00Z and GFS 06Z run, really they are both fantastic, what the hell are the doom merchants on about.

How are the charts looking now, I heard it's meant to turn mild next week? Any reason why this thread is so dead?
Where did you get that from?
Netweather certainly don't agree with it turning mild next week.
Looking ahead into next week, high pressure will remain with us throughout, so most places will remain fine and dry with sunny spells by day, though it will be on the chilly side, with a risk of frost and freezing fog patches forming overnight -
There seems to be a real obsession with holy grail charts and anything less is useless on this forum, the charts from my perspective are much better than you usually get in late Nov/early Dec with a strong jet and prevailing southwesterlies which is the normal fayre for this time of year, the weather wasn't holy grail in late May/early June yet most were happy, the obsession with perfect cold wintry charts in mid to late November i find perplexing to the extreme.

LOL, yes I've mentioned that to him many times yet he persists.
