    OMG! here you can see the detail. Don't forget we still have 3 days to go, so things will change, rain across the country, but on this run you can clearly see heavy rain is expected over Snowdonia, Cumbria and the Pennines.



    Winds are excessive - definately gales across the whole of the country, with gusts around 60-70 mph in exposed areas.

    I feel like I'm talking to myself on this thread

    Subtle change again today as the low drops deeper. Still wet and windy, France looks as though it will get stronger winds than the UK. Midlands currently getting the worst combination of heavy rain combined with the strong winds.

    I am listening, I'm just not going to pretend that I understand some of the names you're coming out with,

    It is appreciated and I'm definitely gaining some insight into how precarious weather forecasting is.

    This is the 2nd run of today, but as it shows a significant change to Scotland, I thought it would be worth showing. As you can see, the isobars are less pronounced, indicating light winds for Scotland. The tighter the isobars, the stronger the wind, so the rest of the country remins very windy.
    Isobars are the black lines on the chart. Each line represents a 2mb change in pressure.

    Low pressure systems rotate in an anticlockwise direction, so as the low is in the North Sea, you can see that winds will be from West to East. (Highs rotate in a clockwise direction).

    Rain is indicated in the colours. Dark blue upto 20mm, light blue upto 10mm, dark green upto 5mm in 6 hours.

    Default snow - off topic

    Seeing as you lot are obsessed with snow (aren't we all) I found this.

    This chart is the closest I have for now. (reports of snow across northern Scotland tonight) This is the midnight forecast for Tues/Wed 17th Jan.



    See the blue dotted line across the northern edge of Scotland. This is the 528
    DAM line (its a thickness of air measurement) but as I mentioned earlier, its what is associated with snow. Basically, if you have that and you have rain, 9 times out of 10 it will fall as snow or a wintry shower.

    Should it ever snow here again I think we all have an obligation to take photos, make snowmen and take more photos... The gallery is a handy place for them too
    Cool

    You might just have your wish sooner than you think. For the UK as a whole, Satuday to Tuesdays has strong possibilies.

    Ok i'll help but no going indoors cos it's too cold and leaving me to finish it.
    Snowmen look good if you build it then it snows again so that its white around it/him/her.
    It never lasts let alone lasts long enough to get a second fall.
