South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion January 2021 onwards

[Captain Shortwave]

Finally proper snowflakes falling now. Well two days this winter so far (though I had to travel to Chatteris to actually see snow settling back in early December).

[Jamie M]

Nice and snowy here

[Delka]

Temp 1.1c . Dewpoint 1c

Odd flake in the wind but practically stopped, the dusting has melted on most surfaces excluding the grass

[Bradley in Kent]

I'm afraid it's turning out to be a duff winter again for us down in Kent, which is a bit ominous given the lack of real Atlantic influence. Looking at future winters it'll be either mild rain or cold rain (like today), with the quinquennial snow event only when things are 100% perfect.

Still, what with the Covid response it's probably a good thing, and only a few weeks to go before we can start wanting warm weather, something much easier to 'chase' these days!

Not a single snowflake    here yet this winter, even when we had winds from the EAST last week,lol,a great winter for the SE.Best ever a "NAILED-ON" cold spell of weather.

Sad to report Steve has been permanently banned from posting the best contributor in SE  what he said wasn’t acceptable but tensions were running high, one shouldn’t be aggravated by a moderator!. I’m sure the site wants to look like it’s not being selective in who they punish, but yes you’ve achieved that now. Happy? 
 

weather 4C and very wet. Sums up this winter.

What a shame, the input In this forum will be poorer without him !!

 

thanks for your input though Daniel, i always look out for your posts as they are always informative

Raining with extreme flooding around local roads.

[yamkin]

Latest HARMONIE model is still going for wintry showers pushing down into London, Sussex & Kent approx 4pm - 10pm this afternoon/evening. (As always, this is subject to change!!)

Thought this was an interesting read.

A phenomenon called Sudden Stratospheric Warming is currently taking place, but what is it and what does it mean for the weather in the UK?

that’s quite surprising, hopefully soon enough we can get something meaningful around here

[Matty88]

Front seems to be decaying quite rapidly now.... and not a single flake in Cambridge yet. Losing hope for today - too marginal perhaps !
