that low pressure over the usa looks like sucking the azores high over the atlantic

blocking to our west and europe cooling right down again

charts getting interesting again

[Ruthie]

Wet n windy here in brentford ahead of brentford v Chelsea tomorrow. Good crop of thunderstorms west Wales and valleys area!! Cheers all.

[Biggin]

Rain today now that radar is a mess.

[john pike]

the trough over wales will head west over night

around 7am we will be under a mixture of warmer and colder air

i would not rule out heavy rain and thunderstorms during this period up to mid-day

[abruzzi spur]

Wind really getting up here in Brighton. Weather rattling in from the south west, a long fetch straight into the building, sash windows in the flat are shifting and agitating, not a proper storm but plenty of action.

One of the constant appeals of Brighton is the way the beach changes shape each day, sometimes regular gentle sweeps of shingle, other times, like today, steep drop-offs where a foot out of place sends pebbles cascading seawards like a stone avalanche and if you happen to linger where the beach is falling away you can feel the inverse power of the sudden void teasing and encouraging you down towards the waves. With each tide, with each shift of weather, it changes and the change of the beach alters the sea next time, which alters the beach next time, and so it goes for ever.

[Mark Neal.]

Heads up for you ugly Lovely folk further east! Just had some very intense heavy rain here and its heading east! Definetly a evening for staying indoors!

[john pike]

after the morning rain clears it should stay dry

gusty westerly winds

should be around 10 degrees

will not feel it though

sunday night

wind a little easier and from a westerly flow

a trough will move across the south east giving some heavy showers

will will be back under a cold air flow

would not be surprised to see some low single temperatures being recorded

no frost as wind too strong for that

monday

starts dry but heavy rain and strong south westerly winds in the afternoon

temperatures around 8 degrees

again will not feel it

monday night

heavy rain still around but moreso the further south you are

strong westerly wind

temperatures around 6 degrees

tuesday

strong south westerly wind

heavy blustery showers throughout the day

chance of thunderstorms again

8 degrees approx

Just been out for a ciggie and its sleeting in Norwich. And temp' is 5c but feels like 0c apparently.

I hope everyone enjoyed the cold spell, would be good to get another one in Feb. I for one am kind of glad that it's come to an end, as the ice was just getting ridiculous, at least now I wont be risking my life to walk anywhere haha! I'm off to Berlin during the middle of Feb for a few days anyway, so I suspect It might be cold and snowy still when I go.

[john pike]

wednesday#

looks dry

however watch the winds today

a strong west wind with a possible curve to west north west

temperatures around 6-8 degrees

a pretty big wind chill today so wrap up with this

thursday

a gusty south west wind

a tad warmer around 8-10 degrees

some showers possible late afternoon

the low to our north west could change our weather after the 2nd on

keep an eye on that

Thanks John We must arrange a beer night near us ??

hi mate

we should arrange something in the spring or summer and find a nice country pub somewhere

that would be nice

[Mrsf16]

Must say, I am pleased we are forecast a mild spell for a little while. Am off to the States next weekend and really didnt want the stress of the issues the UK has with snow! Once I land and get home on 7th it can do what the chuff it likes! hahaha

[john pike]

gfs main run tonight shows what the control run showed earlier

here we go again

Jealous of the Welshers with their thunderstorms at the moment.

[john pike]

Well at least my grass doesn't grow so quick under this ice,less grass to mow this spring

is that a euphemism

[HammerJack]

Goodnight gang.....
