  1. Hello, There used to be a rain radar archive on here - does it still exist? THanks.
  2. I remember thick fog in the mornings during the September 1982 heatwave. Clear nights and no wind ripe conditions for radiation fog, to give it its proper name.
  3. That would take some doing here. August mean was 17.5c here, my Sept record going back to 1996 (set in 2021) is 17.2c. I don't know if we've ever had a CET warmer in Sept than the Aug that preceded it.
  4. Temperature inversion leading to long distance reception of VHF signals. Radio amateurs make use of these condidtions to make longer distances on VHF - I once exceeded 1600km for one contact made on 144Mhz under anticyclonic conditions. Same sort of scenario that led to TV stations broadcasting messages about co-channel reception and "do not adjust your TV set!"

  6. I don't know about the potential heat, but the high T850s and a cooler undercut could lead to some pretty special radio conditions next week, for those who are so inclined....
  7. Indeed, the monthly average pressure for Sept/Oct/Nov 2002 here was 1019.2 / 1010 / 1004
  8. Agreed... I was referring to country-wide, as I recognise we've done relatively ok down here.
  9. I make it 8 - 1/8/15/22/29 July, 5/12 August is 7 so far, though the 1st wasnt that bad on the south coast.
  10. That is the problem - and as Chris A pointed out a few posts ago - we need these improvements to get to 5 days away before we can take them seriously. I'd go further and add .."with cross model support". I am starting to understand some of the basics a little better - but it is disappointing to see posters who add the global picture, being dismissed by some in that manner. I'm not sure we will ever know why the ocean-atmospheric coupling in the Pacific did not happen as most expected, but it is very poor form to shoot the messengers here.
  11. Eruption was April 2010. I would strongly question any real correlation between low solar activity and cold winters. I can expand on that, but not here.
  12. The lack of atmospheric coupling of the El nino might reduce its intensity?
  13. it's a bit like scoring from a dodgy 95th minite penalty. When you're losing 6-0....
  14. August was dreadful that year, the wettest of the century in Scotland, IIRC. I don't think the pattern was dissimilar to what is being progged now. Summer as a whole was different to this year, poor June and a rather mixed July. I bet the Manchester summer index was pretty ropey that year.
