Hi Lawrence.



Paul did say back on Aug 28th that...."Sunday 8th September, the UK will be

experiencing a cold plunge, as a depression tracks Eastward and the

anticyclone, which will settle over the south of the UK early next week,

retrogresses into the Atlantic. Daytime temperatures will be cooler than

average in many areas and night frosts will affect rural areas in the North,

but some rural areas of England and Wales may also be affected by frost.

Snow may well fall over the highest parts of the Scottish mountains"**



Not a million miles away although I disagree that a high pressure

retrogressed anywhere into the Atlantic? The Azores "relaxed" its influence

and withdrew to its relatively usual position. A Jet Stream split to our

West which resulted in a cut-off low stuck over the British Isles.



Rotten weather just now and NOTICABLY colder than of late.



So while the technicalities might be argued to be wrong Dawlish did pick up

on the models agreement, that we were all privy to, for a colder spell which

we are definitely now encountering.....just not quite the synoptics Paul

suggested IMO.



Dublin recorded a 3.5c temp night of Sept 4th. Areas were classified as

having a grass frost. Maybe some areas in more exposed and northern sections

had close to a ground frost but it's frost nonetheless.



Either way(s)......it's amazing how an OIRISH whiskey can make you feel

good.... Cheers Lawrence, hope you're keeping well..

The cold plunge that I talked about 8 days ago. The models were showing


the correct outcome very well.




Get lost you liar , you changed that 'prediction' several hours alter you

made it.


Ignore larry. It's one of those late night posts.

The forecast is for tomorrow, however. I will talk about it then, but you've analysed it well, I think.
