Whats the weather like near you?

No total agreement but another 8-9 days before the noticeable cold air feed is likely replaced by a milder atlantic air flow given the outputs beginning to show signs of consistency as the current solid heights to the North of the UK sink to ridge with the long time missing, albeit weak, Azores high and allow energy to encroach in the Greenland/Iceland/Norwegian corridor thus placing us south of the polar jet front and in less cold but more moist conditions.

Cold frosty nights but a predominantly dry week still with those pesky bitter E winds for the south & S east backing more northerly come midweek.

So the jet stream may well finally be headed North but aside from increasing solar spring strength i'm highly intrigued by whats forced the Jet stream so far south for so long to give us the record breaking cold March?

Great more E winds for me. I hate those as the harbour entrance in Dover is exposed on that side so the sea turns very rough indeed. Just getting in and out the entrance turns into a game of dont hit the wall.

 

Had a F/V hit the wall last time and cause some damage to itself, didn't sink but has not pleasent.

 

Can't wait for the winds to go away.

 

Good post peckerwoo thank you,

Plotting until Saturday afore the winds ease down their for you rich,

I guess the swell can get pretty high given anything more than a fresh breeze?

We are seeing those continued log sales on "thin ice" from next weekend ML?

Every model now offering air pressure lowering around Iceland by Sat 8th to fall in line with energy in the Northern arm of the Jet stream relenting its southern track after whats seems like months? of keeping us under the cold continental air "block".

The only issue is wether or not a nearby elongated High pressure ridge (stronger azores ridge) presides over us with pleasant settled conditions or Atlantic driven Low pressure rattling North eastwards nearby, or even over NW Britain?

I fear the latter as things look now? but small price to pay if you want rid of these bitter below avg temps

Little bit of rain over the long weekend, some fog this morning in the low areas but cleared up nicely to be what can only be described as stinking hot........again. Taken on the drive out to Mangakino this morning.
