South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards

[Daniel*]

Bit of a mild sector right now in SE uppers are only -5C.

Improves tonight.

 

[TommyB]

3.3c here in St Leonards and very wet.

A thoroughly depressing morning!

Interesting read......

An unusually strong warm wave heads for the Siberian Arctic Ocean, raising surface temperatures more than 20 degrees above normal

An unusually strong temperature wave is crawling into the Arctic circle, raising temperatures over 20°C above the long term normal

 

[Froze were the Days]

That's severe cold for Siberia and Canada/Northern States then...absolutely vile here, warmer than yesterday at 4.2c.

I hate this decade they said it was going to be good.

[Stu_London]

Frankly, if this is the weather,  I wish it would warm up a bit and come of the atlantic.

Maybe a small window for something a bit more wintry in around 12-24 hours, but don't hold your breath. 

Proper reset needed I think, perhaps a few days of mild weather next week might be what is needed until the Strat events are resolved and we can get some cold pools into places where we might benefit from them.

I fear 2021 might turn into a bit of a poundshop version of 2013. At least in 2013 January produced a little bit of lying snow, though not the metres and metres of stuff that the models were predicting at the time. 

[Uxbridge90]

Thoroughly miserable morning, hopefully we can avoid that cold rain IMBY. 

Temperatures and DP's far too high for anything other than rain at the moment.

[SMU]

Checking in at work for home data

3.4C

2.9D

Lets look towards later tonight.....

[dubmuffin]

Just dropped in to express my disgust. At least WFH means I didn't have to cycle into the office for 9am - that would have been even more depressing.

At least we will see some good vids on youtube. Hopefully some good time lapses.

Meanwhile, the rain carries on falling! Some big totals over the next couple of days methinks!!

Notice that the UK is around normal like much of Europe becuse of the unusual Aiflow, despite the The Warm Wave due to the Eaternly Low fuled by that Siberian Cold Air our area i typical I expect the Southernly Jet wil be Warmer though giving us a small window before the expected Arctic Turn allowing us Colder Air but this is due to my Limited Knowledge

[Sky High]

4.4C

Here in Stevenage

I am so confused (yes its easily done) but looking at both the Met O forecast, and even the NetW one, the rain is not showing as much as the TV forecast i have just seen on BBC N24. 

is it meant to rain for the next 24 hours, or not? and not a thing about the wind mentioned either. 40mph gusts from a NE flow means windchill will be quite cold. 

If the professionals haven't got a grip of things, who has?

[Jackski4]

Brrrr it’s cold out there today with that windchill.. Bucketing down with freezing cold rain, icy rain. Think flooding may become an issue if this carries on.. -7/8 uppers later though, who’s ready to be blanketed with snow?

[Daniel*]

We essentially have a Thames streamer atm good thing this isn’t snow as I’d be getting robbed!

[Country Boy]

Rain patchy here in North Essex, wind not to bad, just enough to

move trees that still have some leaf.

Been looking at conditions  in Tromso in North Norway. 

And it should be a -30c  at this time of year..but...it's a  Plus 4c.

Something is seriously  going wrong  with the weather.

 

 

[Mike Storm]

Hello everyone Temps here in Crayford... 4.3c    dp4.0c moderate Rain

Edited January 4, 2021 by Mike Storm

[SLEETY]

5c and  heavy rain here, this is beyond a joke now, might as well be 15 c and rain

Let's get a reset in and pray because this weather is just crud

[Snipper]

Had to go to Southwold today to check out if my mum’s cottage is ok. Most unpleasant day to go to the seaside or anywhere else for that matter. 

[jamesgold]

Pretty perfect Thames Streamer for my location in Bromley, couldn’t have drawn it better. Unbelievably frustrating, let’s hope for tonight

[onepingonly]

Typical...the precipitation finally arrives and it warms up

Although I agree with what your saying about Scandinavia that sounded like BBC Reporting to me there lol and not picking on you but having been to Tromso and Northern Norway a few times on Northern Lights Trips that is simply not true about Tromso. It is true for places on the Norway/Finland/Sweden border like Inari or Abisko where temps can get down to between -20c and -40c but.............

Tromso being on the Coast near the Norwegian Fjord is affected by warm water like the Uk is and hence even where it is situated in the Arctic Circle temps are usually between 0c and -9c in Jan - Feb and March and in some set ups they can indeed get 0c to +6c so please please report things correctly.

BBC Breakfast said this morning that the temperature was rising for the weekend to +6c and slightly milder ....OH   NO !!!!! hope this is temporary until the ssw kicks in

Indeed... but we all need to remember that although an SSW spices things up it's not a guarantee for cold and snow !!! Anyway, good times for model watchers. 

[Met4Cast]

This really is poor. HLB, long fetch easterly, the most potent streamer we've had for many years covering the whole of the SE and it's.. rain. Nothing but persistent, miserable, soggy rain.

I'm not overly optimistic about tonight either. Those N of the region might see a bit of wintriness but there really isn't much to get excited about imo. The warmer than average N Sea and very poor chilly airmass for the setup means there's just too much modification in the surface layers of the atmosphere.

[MAF]

Actually Paul, Tromso not set to go below 0 for next few days, and that's most weather sites i have just looked at.
