I'm always excited at this time of year as winter approaches (my favourite
season!).
This year, especially so.

Nothing seems to have changed much in terms of dynamics since before I went
to the Himalayas. The main Atlantic jet is still at a low latitude (circa
50-53N), it is still wriggling all over the place meaning that raging mild
zonality will find it difficult to establish and so we can expect more
trough disruptions (potentially severe weather events), minor blocked
episodes and slow moving depressions. Interestingly northern Europe, in
terms of thickness is expected to cool a lot in the next few days and
naturally that opens the door to some snow in the UK as December progresses.
The devil will be in the detail of course, but I fully expect to see
tangerine snow warnings from next week onwards.

I seem to have missed a massive rain event on Dartmoor, I don't intend to
miss the massive snow event :-)

Seasonal cheers,
Eskimo Will

Welcome back, Will. How were the Himalayas? - is there a blog anywhere
where I can read your experiences on any unusual met events you
witnessed?

The Himalayas are still growing very slowly. It's India that does it. ;-)
