So looks like a beast from the east then a Heater from the west.

I don't see any heater in any chart there, they are all stonkers for cold.

And, as they're all for about three months' out, they're about as much use as a chocolate fireguard...

Nothing decent in the reliable to post today though.

It's all cold. Scandi high retrogressing to become a Greenie high and, dammit, I've just broken my own self-imposed CFS boycott.

Anything in the reliable is autumn anyway.

Yes but its better to let the more general weather fans use that thread for all the things that I find too boring anyway like 'ive just seen a leaf fall off a tree' or ' some lovely sunshine and 15c' rather than clog it up with cold ramping / cold chart posting etc.

Yes - its all gone quiet over there but lets hope it stays quiet when the business end of Autumn comes!

To be fair i always smile at Gavin's posts because he has the balls to post from his own perspective which is looking for mild and high pressure. There may be some very cold CFS runs but there's also been a few mild ones recently. Hard to see the wood from the trees really. Last year I saw a graph with the temperature plots from each run, not seen it posted this year?!

For what it's worth my gut at the moment says an early winter turning to mild mush after Christmas

Believe it or not my early thoughts are the other way, Jan or Feb being coldest but I am really not sure at all, it was just a haunch and wont be making my final prediction until last evening of November.

Some years ago I saw a map of magnetic fields where the comment was on changes occurring in 2007 - this was mainly in the mid to southern Atlantic. It was around this time that the jet stream began it's southerly travels with troughing extending way south to the Azores region - to me, it seemed to be too much of a coincidence.
