Weird MetO forecast for Chichester on Sunday. The icons show no rain during the day, but there is a severe weather warning for heavy rain throughout the period.

I can see that this combination is possible if it turns out that there are extremely localised storms which the vast majority of places miss - but the juxtaposition looks very odd.

I saw the forecast and they decided to throw the front in the HP zone when we supposed to get hot weather on Sunday with scattered showers then out of blue washout BH Monday

Not long time ago at 2 days ago they were showing hot Sunday and a decent Monday then yesterday changed tactic and keep the heat right to the continent coasts with washout Sunday and drying out Monday.  Now changed to dry Sunday with 21C whcih is 8-9C down from recent prediction.  

In all the so called super computers, models and media forecasts had been very wrong and worse as time goes.  Also more worse when they kept using rain or showers, or mixed as they have no idea how to forecast what type of rain or weather.

Use Canadian way of rain risk percentage as it was simple method to know if will rain or not and miss the 6 days forecast on Euronews teletext with max, min, rain % and sunshine hours.  This was always come off most of the time and high accurately than what I said above.  If this still exist which now gone thanks to digital TV killed the teletext off I would stop using the models and TV forecasts completely.

Lol! Maybe the dinner bell rang or something!

Some selective un-editing going on there!

Perhaps Ben is choked on behalf of his colleagues about losing the contract.

Catch thus quick - it won't survive in its current format for very long lol.

*October*
Indications are for a fair start to the month with high pressure in control of conditions. This could bring a brief period on fair, late summer conditions. Probably rather warm, although with cool nights and some fog patches during the early mornings.
From mid October the jet stream is expected to strengthen over or very close to the country bringing windy and more unsettled conditions. Rain may well be heavy at times with a risk of widespread gales. Temperatures probably near normal for the time of year.

*November*
Stormy conditions are expected to be in control through much of November.
With a strong jet stream blowing from west to east the weather stays unsettled. bands of rain sweeping eastwards and a risk of gales too.
There is the threat of colder air slipping into Scotland at times, bringing snow on the hills, but for most temperatures will be pretty close to average, and perhaps above average of many central and southern areas.

Unbelievable!!

What a load of rubbish - and looking at the photos it should be obvious that it's hail. Anyway if it is snow and there is some cold weather and frost this weekend then make the best of it as it could be the last before things turn milder by end of the month and wetter by October. LOL the irony!!

i hope the big swing continues into october makes weather watching more exciting, and simon keeling seem to thiink  it stays unsetles after a dry start to the month in october and continuing into november, http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-app/reports?MENU=Seasonal-outlook

just dont want another  wet and mild winter,

Having replaced all the fences this year I certainly hope we don't have an Autumn full of Gales and Rain.....Plus also our very own Ian (idj) won't be out from under the table for the whole of Autumn if that's the case.

Met Office seasonal outlook update:

Most of Western Europe especially north-west shows temperatures at or below average throughout the whole winter:

Gary Sarre?

Hi Tally,

Well, all I'll say at the moment is that I'm getting increasingly "interested" in what Winter 15/16 may have in store for us.

Let's leave it there for now.

Well, this September is set to be colder than average - which is rare! I can not remember a September that was been colder than average. I do look forward to your winter update after last months "This is as bad as it get's!" type forecast!!
