South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards

Carinthian's update is the ultimate tease in the Mod thread for our region following his chats with weather service providers out his way. We can but only dream!! Here's a snippet 

" Beyond that a threat of snow or breakdown increases especially in the south."

I've appropriately amended it for you.

The wind has abated somewhat but still very windy but Cs and As are now the order of the day as the next front approaches.

Quite a few charts show it missing here and going in to France. The MetO shows nothing for here, so they must be thinking the same thing.

Thank you for explaining.

Missed all of the showers this afternoon with all of them either just missing or breaking up before reaching here. Much calmer now than last night.

What a difference a day makes.... Yesterday we had Karlos preparing to tackle the wild weather, tonight we have Karlos (and S4lancia) stoking the wild fire in the MAD thread....(figuratively speaking of course). Good to see you keeping them on track Karlos..

@Mapantz, you must have picked up both highest and peak gust last night since you started, didn't you? It seems as though the incursion @ around 03:10 was fairly wild, I am happy to report my dustbin and it's contents were still standing this morning after I put it out at 01:30

Yes, 53mph recorded at my station. I'm sure it was higher in other spots around me, but there's too many obstacles in the path, so I will lose some speed in the readings. Nonetheless, very impressive. Both wind speed and wind gust went yesterday.

I wished I had the anemometer up there during the 2013/14 Winter - would've loved to have seen the readings from them, particularly the Valentines storm.

Not sure what the big fuss is about the upcoming cold spell. I had big hopes when seeing the models evolve and the hype in the mad thread makes you think it will be snow o'clock. But looking at the 10 day outlook for here apart from a couple of days of 2 or 3cs over the weekend  it' generally 5 or 6c with no frosts. Slightly underwhelming at the moment!!

Love it, khodds!  Having had three Border Collies in the past, nothing they do like that surprises me.

They are such intelligent dogs! My spaniel wouldn’t even contemplate it - he is a big wuss!

EVEN BLOOOOODY FLORIDA GETS SNOW!!!!!!http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42544605!!!!!!

I do indeed feel physically sick!

[knocker]

Pretty grim here at the moment with moderate rain and wind gusting 50mph again. Hopefully the rain should clear shortly.

[Ciderwithrosie]

According to the net weather map the rain has gone through , but I have seen s weather warning from the met o saying that the wind will be gusting to impressive figures again throughout the day , although not as severe as yesterday . 

So windy for the south west this morning slowly easing as the they cross the country . 

 

[Dorsetbred]

Ah, how refreshing it's another wet and windy start to the day. Even my dogs seem resigned to the fact they have to go out in the morning and get blown around and soaked...(twas 05:30). Mind you the temps are well up again @ 12C, I bet the likes of SSE are praying for some cold..

[MP-R]

Another windy start, various objects having re migrated around the patio again. Becoming a bit of a nuisance now. Looking forward to the weekend change.

[festivalking]

Hit 11.8c this morning, not sure we'll see double figures for another week!

Still on for a cold weekend but then a gradual recovery of temperatures is forecast.

Reading in other forums (I know I must stop that habit) there is talk of a potential snow event next week battle ground scenario and all but but but but.............

from the M**** northwards. 

In the short term though its going to feel cold this weekend!

[Mapantz]

Yep. Increased enough for our windscreen replacement man to get the new screen out, tut a lot, put it back in the van and drive off.

Max gust of 33mph so far.

[matt111]

The winds certainly picked up in the last hour or so. Quite gusty out there now.
