Doesn't seem to work those links.

Unusually cold waters around the UK at the moment.

Looks very cold for a swim off of Norfolk and Suffolk this year. Do you know the last time the waters around the UK and Ireland were as unusually cold as they are currently?

As for Ireland I can't comment, but as far as the North Sea is concerned we are pretty much on par with last year.

Some inshore UK Sea Surface Ice in the news recently:

Here's a link to the unisys sst archive http://weather.unisys.com/archive/sst/ Some of them are a bit messed up and don't really work but plently to browse through. Anomalies are at the bottom half of the page by the way.

Thanks for that.

Really interested to see where we go from here with the Atlantic sea temps, only really the last few weeks it gets very interesting. Starting to look like the Atlantic wants its own version of la Nina!

That's what I was thinking!

Looking at those unisys charts further up the page, the anomalies around us seem to have suddenly reduced in strength, Due to a different base data set for January I guess?

Really big parts of oceans are cooling.......especially we can se PDO is going cold,Atlantic is pretty cold,that means NAO is negative,Arctic ocean is cooling.....If this continue I think we could enter into few pretty cool years over the globe!!!

Looks like large swathes of the Atlantic and the Arctic are warming on that chart, however the East Coast of the US remains deeply negative.

Currently 6C at Cromer, East Anglia. Was 5C at it's low this winter. If we get a few more cold spells, that could move down to 2-3C, and, with the fact that temps hit their low peak in March round here, one last spell to kill it off.

0C is possible somewhere in the UK, and Ice on the coastline maybe possible near the coast. I'd say two very strong cold spells in the next 2 months, and it's possible.

Worth noting that it's 6C SST's off Reykjavik currently...

good to see that light purple line moving south along the suffolk coast and north towards the yorkshire coast.

another 'cold spell' could definitely lower some temperatures to around 3-4 in the wash area

So the effects of the Gulf Stream are still fairly healthy looking near to the South West of Ireland!

Intersting and useful website - not too sure this piece of data from the UK section:

9°C

Luton

Sea temperature in Luton

Average water temperature: 12.1°C

I would imagine that'll keep people from flocking to the beautiful sandy beaches of Luton lol! http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif
