yes, my mild if not very mild forecast looks like it might be right, despite the flaming I received from the Gruesome TWOsome.

It isn't the "I'm going to post my own forecast that ignores most of the current model output because I have my own agenda" thread.

Please don't go round patting yourself on the back for 'your mild forecast' being right, when your only methodology is to try to piss on anyone's bonfire who might get some snowy weather, just because "the most populous region of the UK" [yawn] was never looking like joining any suggested fun.

As Brian’s post of the postage stamps showed, perfectly clearly, is that the UK is still sitting in the battleground between two different air masses.

You didn’t receive a ‘flaming’ (sic), you were very politely reminded why your ‘forecast’ was not supported by the evidence from the models.  That’s still the case this morning, whether you have your blinkers on or otherwise.  It may be mild in the south, it may be near average, it may be cooler than average.  But the south is only a small part of the country - irrespective of population densities….

Winters back on again on 06Zgfs run 🤣, unreal changes still happening at , now a fairly short time frame. BBC have cut their losses by putting out a video about a white xmas saying we don’t know !! Stating the obvious, it’s a battle between the cold and warm air masses. As already said by others, a nasty windy spell on its way.😣

A couple of days ago the output was leaning rather cold or cold with a chance of snow for some Northern areas of the UK.

Now we seem to be looking at a mild and rather damp Christmas for most.

looking through the GEFS at 96hrs, there are still some runs that keep the jet south. Amazing divergence at such close range

wouldn't be out of the question if somewhere ended up with a boxing day 2014 type scenario with cold air just to the north and features skirting along the south, something white on the northern edge is very possible, and wouldn't be visible in the charts at this stage

 Its very interesting for me that the Jetstream path over the North Atlantic has generally been recently and is short term forecasted to be diving into Europe in a ESE/SE direction.
It would be interesting to see a record and analysis of the general history of the trajectory of the Jetstream over the last few decades.

The MOGREPS 00Z - 06G combi certainly calls into question whether southern Britain will even have a "seasonal" Christmas this year. However, there is still time for change.

06Z below, see my earlier post for the 00Z runs.

That may change yet again, of course. There has been as much, if not more, flip-flopping in the models this month as I can recall throughout the duration of last winter.
