We've not created lots of sub forums Gavin, we've separated out the model threads which will hopefully be a positive move put all the weather reports back in one place, but aside from that there's nothing else with an extra sub forum.

We're hopeful that the changes we've made will be positive for the forums, but as ever time will tell..

whens the new radar getting an overhaul Paul?

It's on the schedule Peter, it's only today that we've come off of the server move etc and back to 'normal' work, so we'll be cracking on from here.

Welcome the idea of regional thread discussion forums. As noted last winter, these proved very popular and gave opportunity for members to discuss more localised conditions with other members located in close proximity.

I am often more interested in conditions in Scotland and N Ireland and NE England than in the south as we tend these regions share more characteristics with our weather.


Cumbria could warrant its own regional thread - Last November we had our own mini climate! and local topography often creates a micro climate very dissimiliar to other parts of the NW especially say Cheshire. Though due to population their are few members from Cumbria so it would probably be a very quiet thread..

Like the idea on regional threads even during the summer, especially when it's a tad more active than present. I do enjoy a good read so the model thread alignment idea I like so I can drop in pick up the gist and then move on.
Keep it up.

There's maybe a case of adding Cumbria on to Scotland then as a "North-West of the UK" region (Northern Ireland too?). I would expect your weather is often similar to ours and then you could discuss it with a greater number of people.
