Has anybody else noticed that during this current cold spell
the BBC forecasts have hardly ever shown the full Atlantic
charts? Plenty of UK windflow charts and a fair few UK pressure
maps with precipitation bands but hardly any Atlantic ones.

Even though our weather isn't coming from the Atlantic at the moment,
I'd still like to get an idea of how our high is expected to move over the
next few days.

I can't help but think whether we want this particular weather pattern
during the summer, or not.

The fact that it will be a woeful, wet summer notwithstanding, it could
be, on one hand, a very GOOD SIGN that these so-called "1980s-type"
North Atlantic weather patterns are now reoccurring, but also a bad
sign, because we could use up in the summer what we really needed to
see for the following winter, à la 1992.

What do you think? Come April, once it is clear that "winter", per se,
really is truly over, and September is in sight on the long-ranger, I
will start looking at the NCEP SLRs again, for signs of September. I
had a *very* funny dream the other day, though, that the chart for
September 2005, particularly over the North Atlantic, including,
amazingly, over the UK, would be, overwhelmingly BLUE. Let's hope
so.:-p

Yep would be nice to see woudn't it. Not sure, but maybe it's the time limit
thing? ..... all emphasis on the numerous weather warnings etc. because of
such a spell.
I wish the BBC would give them more time so we could get a decent
informative forecast with charts etc.

Wild guesses (e.g.

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...a6520fe5f1a24e
) would put it some 10 degrees further east and that would switch it
badly over the mascon centre, without interfering with the actual cause.

Or not as the case may be.

(There was a quake in Peru, not a biggie though. (I'd expected it to be
on the Pacific rim but hedged -too much angst. I might not know what I'm
doing but that doesn't mean I can't be good at it!))

(Or not, as the case may be.)
