**Forecast Northerly component to the weather at T+240
Agreement and consistency for a change.
**At T+240, on 15th Jan 2015, the UK's weather will have a source to the north, or north-west of the UK, bringing snow showers, or longer periods of snow to the hills of the UK, especially in the north, but *perhaps* some lower level snow showers further south than Scotland. Colder everywhere in the daytime and at night, than at present, with some sharp frosts around this date.** There you go. An 80% chance of a change by mid-Jan. Chances of some lowland snow showers further south, eh? Perhaps not in Dawlish 😀. |

Lawrence There has for some time now been a bit of a trend towards a change around that date. The GFS ensembles now show a majority trend for something colder around the 14th on as does the latest ECM run. 10 days is a long time but it could be the first little cold snap of the winter for us soft southerners. Dave Anyway, though the GFS 12Z operational run may look unremarkable at T+288, the GFS ensemble and the ECM operational run and ensemble look much more encouraging for cold-weather lovers from about 8-9 days out. John --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it's bound to happen after four of us have suggested it now :-) Dave |

It maybe just a start of a change that we will not get properly until February or later? -- Keith (Southend) "Weather Home & Abroad" http://www.southendweather.net Twitter:@SS9Weatherman |

Surely you would have considered the chances to have been 80% on many occasisons?

Chances of some lowland snow showers further south, eh? Perhaps not in Dawlish ?. Thought I'd just mention that John Hammond mentioned this in the 9:55 forecast on BBC News 24 on Monday, i.e.: Notably colder Widespread Frost Wintry Showers Drier (and for some time too). - with an interesting explanation involving a polar High. He said tentative on Monday but tonight, firmed up on it. Always worth a watch, is the 9:55 long range forecast. -- Dave Fareham |

I've said I was looking for a change. Many times in the past, I could have boosted my 80% average success, by forecasting on a daily basis, but I always leave it at least 3 days. It was so obvious a change was not coming (implied by me still looking for it and ignoring the suggested model change around the start of the New Year), that I just didn't think a forecast was needed. Like I said, I was looking for the change. |

Taking forecasting to a new level. Many times in the past, I could have boosted my 80% average success, by forecasting on a daily basis, but I always leave it at least 3 days. Or, in fact, reduced self claimed 80% success, you need to start thinking about maths as well as grammar. Anyway, you always leave at least 3 days between forecasts, which is true. Could you remind us how many there were in total in 2015? It was so obvious a change was not coming (implied by me still looking for it and ignoring the suggested model change around the start of the New Year), that I just didn't think a forecast was needed. Like I said, I was looking for the change. I didn't think a forecast was needed. Correct, nor is it now. Presumably all other forecasters will stop forecasting now, as we all know it's going to rain. Such arrogance. |
