Glad thess lows are coming on an low running trajectory with the jet as it is much higher chances of no damaging gales.

Winds flowing in all different directions make it all the more interesting,little or no SWlys for the time being all month looking possible then cold NElys.

Yes, almost every month lately is either the warmest or second warmest on record. And this is without an El Nino.

WHEN is it going to SNOW? Halloween is over, Bonfire night heading to old news so the next thing is "will it snow, will it be a White Christmas" for the tabloid headlines.

Today we've had an enquiry about likelihood of snow, any real decent snow coming up, this winter. They did ask for evidence, which is encouraging. (it wasn't the Express)

So what can we say, we can't state there will be another Beast from the East which would be the best answer for the media. There is no blanket of snow in the 7-10 day forecast and no particular signs Nov into Dec. 

Yet we know if they ask elsewhere, someone will create what the newspapers want , the hype. Cold weather bingo begins - the worst/coldest winter in ** years, ** days of snow.Bookies have slashed odds on a White Christmas. 

The endless rain and flooding won't be keeping the online interest, the winter stories are in demand. How to manage the response and stay involved without the Fake news?

Snow showing for the North on Sunday on lots of high and middling ground and maybe even a bit of sleet for the South, as it was showing yesterday, too. Whether it arrives or not remains to be seen.

I used to live at 950 feet as a kid and I don't ever remember it snowing until after Christmas. My friends and I all had sleds so we got frustrated waiting!

Whom are you quoting? Weatherbell has +0.419C last month versus +0.422C for 2005  and +0.495C for 2015 so just edged into 3rd place.

 

I've just been out to try rearrange my bonfire in daylight after being unable to get it to remain alight last night with wood and branches being soaked from weeks of drizzle, and a bit more until 2pm yesterday. It's currently 6.4C so it looks like my high for the day is in, at 6.8C. Without sun, that's pretty chilly for messing in the garden - although I'm glad it's not rained again!

since you wrote this I’ve had three media outlets snow stories posted on Facebook by people in Kent... 

Including this one today... silly season has started... they will probably be pushing betting on a white Christmas soon...

Temperatures plummeted yesterday (November 5) and the bitter colder-than-average conditions could last for at least a week

Thanks. I've had a look at their anomaly image for October's quoted  +0.690C and it seems to be missing the cooler weather around the equator I was expecting to see for last month and in India during and after the heavy Monsoon flooding. I'm surprised they've got northern Mexico warm with the exceptional cold fronts flowing down the Rockies last month that broke records from Idaho (-43C/-45F new October record low for anywhere in US) down to New Mexico and West Texas, and Mexico I thought.

It felt more like mid-winter than fall in these areas as October ended.

 

Also I have a friend on the UK south coast I converse with about weather on most working days and got the impression they shared in our miserable cool, wet October. Friends living in the Dolomite foothills of Italy thought it was cool last month and there was early snow there which you can see as a blue bit on WeatherBELL if you enlarge. WeatherBELL's +0.419C map seems a better match to the little bits I know about. It has the US/Mexico border, Italy, India and the south Coast as I would have expected.  In recent years, I've sometimes found occasional disagreement between anomaly maps. I've never been able to fault WeatherBELL so I tend to refer to that ahead of others.

Anybody have any comment on the 0.271C difference between the two? Anomaly numbers get touted around main media like gospel yet regular differences in output suggests some significant error that does not get mentioned.

We're only 3.8mm below Autumn 2000 and the rain hasn't even arrived yet. That's not far off 300mm in 46 days here - or almost 6 months worth of rain!

Horrendous.

All i want is a dry spell to enjoy Autumn, i'm getting really really hacked off with it now..

As a consequence most of my posts for the foreseeable will most likely be found in here.

The Express are like a sausage factory churning out snow nonsense  every hour. When snow is actually coming I do worry that no-one will pay any attention

The entire UK sees snow risk at some point over the next week building up to a possible significant event next Thursday.  The output looks dramatic but it's worth cautioning that there will be rain to wash it away and the gound is likely too warm in November for it to settle so snow fall does not equate to snow settling. It will probably mostly just be more wet and cold!

I've seen settling snow at low levels in the South of England in October before. If the air is cold enough and dew points low enough, snow can settle.

Surely with all the positive signals and upcoming chilly spell, is it time for a little
