It seems like the 564 DAM thickness line has been well north in Europe (and the
Atlantic?) all month, can any of the "old lags" lurking here remember another year in when this happened? We seem to be stuck in this warm air and no sign of it abating and returning to something a bit more "normal". Jon? Martin? Norman? (Not that you're all "old lags" of course :-) ) Will. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A COL BH site in East Dartmoor at Haytor, Devon 310m asl (1017 feet). mailto: www: http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm DISCLAIMER - All views and opinions expressed by myself are personal and do not necessarily represent those of my employer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

It seems like the 564 DAM thickness line has been well north in Europe (and the Atlantic?) all month, can any of the "old lags" lurking here remember another year in when this happened? ..... Looking at the 'extremes' ( http://homepage.ntlworld.com/booty.weather/tthkxtrm.htm ) in September, over this dataset then even at Oslo, the TTHK has been in the upper 560's dam & over NW Germany into the low 570's, so probably not 'extreme' in that sense, but getting into the second-half of September, then it might be regarded as 'unusual'. I haven't got any records of individual events etc., but in a series of mean TTHK anomalies based on the 'Weather Log' (RMetS) and for a point roughly within the CET domain, then in a dataset from 1971, the following years have anomalies 3dam (on 1961-1990 avg): 1971 .. +4dam 1997 .. +3dam 1999 .. +3dam 2005 .. +4dam 1971 was followed by an October with an even greater +ve anomaly (+5); 1997 was followed by a string of notably above avg months, including +9dam in Feb 1998; 1999 was followed by average or above average months through the winter, with the anomalies for Jan, Feb & Mar 2000 +5, +3 & +3 respectively; Last year, the September was followed by October with +6dam & Jan +4dam. This last September was quite warm of course, with a CET anomaly of +1.5degC; we're about that atm, according to Philip's site. 1999 is another possibility looking at the weather type (and thickness anomalies) of that September.

The "Scandinavian pattern" described in the article is no good thing though - it seems to be a Scandinavian ridge not strong enough to produce cold/dry conditions over the UK - but strong enough to prevent lows progressing further east, meaning mild and very wet conditions. No bad thing for them to disappear come the cold season.... :-) Nick |
