I must say, I do not recall ever ever seeing a chart like that in October. That
is simply phenomenal. It is almost as if the whole northern hemisphere
circulation has flipped. The Atlantic is blocked and the main low pressure run
seems to be SE into Russia from the pole.
I would cautiously say "summat's up" !
Either way it backs up my forecast yesterday which went along with the ensembles
and kept the cold going, no sign of milder air getting further north than
southern England and then not really "in".

On a related topic I had a brief talk with a colleague at work today and we were
agreeing that the climate modellers should be concentrating much more on the
next 10 years as well as 100 years ahead as what we have seen recently is
circumstantial evidence that the climate can change rapidly and we *could* be in
danger of getting caught out with "our pants down".

Food for thought,

Will.
