[sarafandjak]

[TonyH]

Well this afternoon looks largely fine and dry for you,

[Bishop Brennan]

Well, I spent about an hour last night patiently typing out my statistics for Winter 2013/14 to share with you all (and no doubt send you all to sleep ), only to somehow press the wrong button and lose the bloomin' lot.

 

Instead, let's just say Winter 2013/14 was wet, windy, and didn't feature many frosts

Back to the present and it's a standard Telford affair at the minute, 100% statrocumulus coverage and 10c.

Sunday looking dodgy, the usual cold front day, its trending east as well, I expect quite a wet day on Sunday, GFS probably correcting east

Where do you get these analogies from? :lol:

 

And why always this impending doom tat it must automatically rain?

Take your pick

 

PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS;

 

Ohhh, I'm getting great vibes. Temperatures should be warmer this Summer than they will be in the Winter.

 

Now this is interesting. For sure. There will be a tendency certainly for temperatures to be cooler at night than they will be during the day.

 

A see fronts. Lots of fronts for this year… and many promise to bring precipitation, I predict lot of washouts.

 

I see clouds, big puffy ones. These clouds will be found around thunderstorms.

 

I see periods of nice weather and periods of rainy weather. I foretell that rainy weather will tend to be caused by low pressure and nice weather will be tend to be caused by high pressure.

 

And finally, I predict clouds will move in the same direction that the wind blows them toward. Let the wind be your guide for it is the guider!

lol this reminds me of that famous clip of Jeremy Paxman reluctantly reading out a weather forecast on Newsnight a few years ago. He absolutely hated doing it, and wasn't shy in letting viewers know.

 

The general gist of it was "It'll be sunny apart from where it is raining, and it'll be raining apart from where it is sunny. Take an umbrella - what did you expect, it's April?!!!"

Seen it and i know you have....Bish... This is for others that haven't ? http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/34801-make-us-laugh/page-93#entry2940321

[conor123]

Looks like after a damp start tomorrow it's all uphill, Sunday still looking good for 15-17c widely and perhaps some large diurnal ranges next week with frosty night's and mild days.

[Dancerwithwings]

That's it the last of the rain as go through now So if what's been forecasted, we won't see any rain for at least 7-10 days

I know it's hard to pin down what days will be wall to wall sunshine?

But i'm hoping to get a few days of within this dry period and with temps going to be on the warm side, It's defo going to feel like Spring is in the air

Yep, I reckon in a few weeks time we'll remember this upcoming period as the true start of Spring 

 

It's currently 15.3c outside, which already makes today our warmest since late October

[Summer of 95]

Been a beautiful day, currently 13C but feels like 16-17 in the sun. It was horrible first thing this morning too.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Spring? I am still waiting for winter, anyone think I'll have to wait long? maybe until around 22nd March,

[Dale Hay]

A quite decent day... here's what I've got recorded as todays "highs".

TEMP: 15.2c (13:00)

WIND: 22.1mph (03:30)

PRES: 1028mb (22:00)

[Costa Del Fal]

What a glorious day it was down south here in Falmouth. Sounds like it was good in the Midlands too. The forecast fills me with Joy particularly as Monday looks our only real cloudy day. Think a walk along the coast due tomorrow or Sunday. Woop! In your face Autumn/Winter (delete as applicable).

Merry Hill Centre awaits you lol.

Haha will do when im back for the Easter break in 3 weeks time. :lol: Suppose its benefit is a mini heat island on the area. :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

No. It's called a big car-park lol.

I like car parks... :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

Try the M25 great heat island was over the MH centre before crimbo, just got off the car-park..

Shopping there at midnight just before Christmas is rather surreal but rather enjoyable actually. Haha.

 

Just to keep this thread vaguely on topic.... there was weather back then. :lol:

[Costa Del Fal]

Topic? Give me a Snickers anytime. Logging off

Wispa for me please. :lol:

 

Night mate.

[Costa Del Fal]

Revels? They were the best except the coffee 'uns lol.

Adios and to (much) more of the same. LP can shove off as far as I'm concerned. Keeping it clean mind.

Totally agree about the coffee flavour! Yuk! haha. Indeed, a much needed change has finally arrived. First day wearing shorts for 2014 coming up today methinks.
