Coming from a front rather than showers. Probably sucking the energy from potential shower activity. The models aren’t great in general for anything significant away from the far N of Scotland and far S of England if you ask me. Good background signals for something building again toward the end of the month. But I’m bored of background signals now. It’s the same every year.

Really is just looking like a bog standard cold spell now. But did we really expect anything more? A 2/3 day northerly followed by a reload before milder air sweeps in by day 5. The net result being dry and slightly below average temperatures with night time temps not even dipping too low thanks to cloud. Really is almost impossible to get a decent cold spell here anymore isn’t it.

Super dry air out there this morning from the continent. Really has a different feel to it doesn’t it. Very little ice despite it being close to freezing when I got up, no moisture in the air. What a refreshing change. Honestly, can someone tell me how long we’ve actually been locked into that disgusting pattern we’ve just emerged from? Because it feels like an eternity. Breath of fresh air this morning (literally).

Just a nudge above 0C here when I got up. Feels bitter out. Dunno why I bother going in that model thread. Full of new members asking whether it’s going to snow, or has snowed in the south east of England. Experienced members with in depth knowledge discussing warm sectors at T+240 and nailed on shortwaves at 12 days out. It’s ridiculous. The southern bias is unreal with people complaining that it’s not cold enough on the south coast.

Happy new year everyone. Can’t believe the sun is out this morning. Maybe my memory isn’t great but I genuinely can’t remember the last time I saw the sun. Shame it’s only for a few hours between fronts today, but I’ll take it! Cold & sunny weather on the horizon. Seems to be all we can achieve nowadays. Seem to remember a cold, sunny spell was the best that last winter had to offer too. But it’ll be very welcome. Some harsh frosts to come. Maybe we can get the snow in the second half of Jan.

Echoing the thoughts of above, no chance 27/28C will be achieved today unless this cloud shifts. Surface winds are supposed to back E soon, wether that pushes the cloud with it we’ll see, but it’s all further east that forecast for sure. These showers were supposed to be over NI, not NW England Edit: oooo I shall check the low, wonder if we got a tropical night Verdict: no, 18.2C. Still impressive
