Weather thread 2011

The NetWeather forecast is more than I could have hoped.

I have never seen this much confidence for a long range forecast from any respected source. Furthermore, they've explained why they're so confident unlike the sites that periodically have a go at the Met Office in The Daily Hate.

Just to say -- Stuart Rampling, who composed that Netweather summer forecast, posts as Glacier Point on the NW forums and his technical knowledge of pressure patterns and synoptic movements is pretty damned good, as is his recent forecast record -- his long term forecasts for the winter and spring just gone were not far off spot on ... we can but hope his confidence isn't misplaced and that devillish details don't screw things up.

On the basis of his measured/balanced/cautious posting record on NW though (which I've seen and followed), I'd say his confidence is very high to stick his neck out so much as that!

Next step will be Jackone's Glasto-specific forecasts -- I'll be requesting that he initiates same over the coming days, unless someone else here has already done that??

Thanks for posting this .

I entered this thread for the first time in months tonight , intending to fill the gap with that NW link if you and others hadn't yet beaten me to it.

I'm trying to maintain the necessary 'cautiously' into my 'optimistic'

.

More soon folks!

But JackOne's either playing it cool by throwing us unsettled weather shouts or one of them is lying.

I say we stick em in a ring n they can fight it out!

[devonhammer]

JackOne is basing his forecast on CFS data. This is based on large scale climatic events. I'm sure we'll get a very interesting combined forecast on Friday

[Spindles]

This has cheered me up, I was concerned that the summer was all going a bit 2008, which while not disastrous would be less than desirable.

[Party-'Scatter'!]

Oh yeah fun in the sun

NFR !!! NRC!!!

[caroldecker]

Next week we'll be able to get more forcasts. The Met Office website has a forcast upto a month in advance. Although this does change a bit, everything is pointing towards pretty good on this thread!

BUT come end of June in Somerset, it's gonna be all about THIS

Never mind the end of July, what about the end of June?!

"Within the summer, we expect the core of the hot and settled weather to occur during June and July, particularly June which we think will be very pleasant with high pressure in charge across much of western Europe and the UK"

yes Please!!!!!

The forecast looks good. Though it still leaves us susceptible to a 2005 style thunderstorm!
