SE & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 12/1/2017 11z ---->

[SMU]

East kent maybe -8 tonight, also same values in sheltered areas of Kent

poss record here- never had lower than -5 here in sub sea level greenhithe, already -0.6

S

[TheGate]

Lost 1c in 40 mins, now -1.7c at 1745

[MONKEYJAM]

Lol if it carries on at that rate it will like -12c by morning 

[Hotspur62]

Temp maxed out at 3.5 degrees but is dropping like a stone now and is -0.1(dropped 1 degree in last hour!!).Think we are in for quite a cold week and weekend in SE with daytime temps no higher than 6 during day and below freezing at night where skies are clear.Still looks that it will eventually become more mobile by middle of next week with temps slowly rising to 8/9 degrees in most areas.After that who knows but my hunch is that we will have a High Pressure sitting over us and we will revert to the December type pattern.Hope i am wrong on that last point but historically i think this is how it may pan out.I fear our last hope this winter to get a significant cold spell will be with the SSW developing but from memory this doesnt guarantee a cold spell but just increases our chances of a cold spell.At least there is still hope though which is more than we have had for the last 2 winters

-1.5 c on the grass this morning, now 0.0 c

Temp on roof from iss 1.9 c Temp in Stevenson screen 0.5 c

Met office showing a minimum for me tonight at 0.0 c , I will see if that's correct in the morning.

Good to see the gfs keeping hold of the cold in the south east corner for quite a while, im hoping there will soon be a reason for the model thread to get really busy

ECM now indicating that atlantic may miss the SE with our little patch holding the cold

[TheGate]

ANother 0.8c in 50 mins, now down at -2.5c. Could be the coldest night of the year.

 

[mickeyb44]

That's good if we could also get some snow

[craigore]

Minus 2.5c  seems to have steadied as was the same an hour ago...

[alexisj9]

Well today has been brrr all day here, top temp 2.4 and the frost is every where already. How cold is it going to get tonight.

[Captain Shortwave]

Some decent sunny spells and just some patchy high cloud today. There was a little ice this morning and I suspect a sharp frost tonight. 

[mickeyb44]

Minus 1.2 c here in the Stevenson screen, grass temp probably minus 2.0 c

Good luck to Kent and East Norfolk, may be some good minimums for you and maybe lower in next few days.

Im hoping the model discussion thread goes into meltdown soon but not holding my breath............
