There was a decent wave where the wind was offshore so http://www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm It was 7C at best with a F6 SE wind. In fact, at the time this photo was taken ,the mean wind speed was 34mph and the temperature was 6C at nearby Land's End. So F7 at cliff top level. Might be OK in the water, but getting changed in the car park doesn't bear (bare?) thinking about. It has been a...

Well 18z GFS blow a massive westerly raspberry in the face of the 12zECMWF. I'm afraid coldie grapplers it's all over . The GFS wins by three falls and a submission. The models are ****e anyway and wrestle with anything after five days we should save a fortune in spending and close the bloody things down. Old Moore's almanac is far cheaper and probably more accurate.

i know lots of met office people lived around there after the blazing sun and high winds and easterlies of May 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16541033

0820 Temp +2.7C moderate east wind giving wind chill -3C. DP -0.2C Broken cloud but still 7/8 Sc cover. Postbridge is similar conditions but a bit colder. There will be significant below freezing wind chill above 500 metres today with temperatures near freezing all day at 600m asl. since Camborne radiosonde has a temperature of +1.5C and a wind speed of 34 knots (brrrrrr) at that height.

Folks Just noticed the addition of the KNMI's HIRLAM model (that apparently did quite a good job of getting the intensity of windstorm Ulli) and the Norwegian Met Service's limited area model. Quite useful comparisons for the short-term interesting weather scenarios in the UK. T+48 from 00Z example below comparing UKMet's NAE, HIRLAM, Norwegian and the "best of the rest", ECMWF, albeit for...

Here is a summary of the NWP output for noon on Thursday. Issued 0444, 15/01/12 The end of the week will see westerlies across the UK, with rain spreading eastwards for most areas. Beyond that the battle lines remain drawn, with ECM showing a cold and unsettled outlook, while GFS shows milder weather throughout with much more mobility to the flow than with ECM.
