URGENT UK Extreme Record Breaking Arctic Blast on the way!! forcasters losing their minds!

Call em CrZy
but it’s the weather machines

Here i will post excerpts from comments made by weather forcasters and fanatics today on a weather forum just to give you an idea of the sort of weather the computers are now forcasting and they are entering a reliable timeframe now. These excripts were recorded from the 26th to the 28th


"We are getting to the reliable timeframe now and these charts are rock solid consistent so far.

Still time for things to go wrong, but a historic April cold spell is definitely possible now and may soon be probable.

"


"If this cold spell verifies as it's been implied then this could cause some serious damage "

"It is highly unlikely to verify as shown in the GFS 06z op run but for information the 500-1000hPa thickness here at 228hr was a remarkable 507dam!
That is truly unbelievable. I guess if it's going to hit us, it may as well be record breaking. Personally I want this like a bullet in the head, but what will be will be."

"The GFS12z has a 1104hpa greenland high.

I'm not kidding."

"The record for April is -1.1C

This chart is beyond insane."

've hunted for exceptionally cold ensembles for several years. Occasionally you find record breakers.
"
The all time UK record T850, as far as I'm aware is -19.5C which was set in Kent during the January 1987 cold wave.



In actuality I've never seen T850s lower than about -17C (possibly set during the 2018 cold spell) but occasionally you do get ensemble forecasts that get a bit lower. I've seen some ensembles get to around -21C for example.

But never, never have I seen -23.5C which is extraordinary before we even discuss the month."

"To even see this is extraordinary. Again I've hunted for cold ensembles for years and the coldest I've managed is about -21C and it goes without saying always in the depth of Winter."

"-20C almost down to East Anglia - what sort of maxs are looking at here."

"Extremely high *(record) MSL pressure projected over Greenland: up to 1100mb at 9GMT next Sunday!

Record MSLP is from Siberia at just 1083.8mb."


"HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS.

ONE ENSEMBLE HAS -24C ON THE SHETLAND ISLES WITH -26C KNOCKING AT THE DOOR.

"

"The all time minimax record should be fairly easy to beat given the right conditions"

"FOUND IT.

IN ALL THAT'S HOLY WHAT THE S1HT IS THIS?!

And this isn't even the only one with sub -20Cs to the UK."
Pertubation 29 probably deserves a mention for being one of the most extreme charts I would ever have seen (until this week).

But the fact this isn't even the coldest one says it all."


"To be honest I'm pretty sure the ensemble average wouldn't be far off the all time coldest April T850 while the upper quartile would definitely be there. The coldest ensemble smashes the all time (January) record ofc.


The way the cold plunge piles down from the Arctic like an express train looks like the east-west jet stream has just tuned 90 degrees and is now north to south. It hasn’t of course, but the cold keeps tumbling...and not much sign of a sustained warm up from the extended charts.

Is this to be a year without a summer like 1888? Too early to call that, but whilst sunny days will make ice-days difficult, an overcast day and snow fall could be - with those uppers.

Where are you CKP???

YOU AGAIN!
You said this last weather event pretty much word for word dude! I bloody remember!

Yep....because like then I spoke to my mate Josh and like then he was RIGHT and like now he's RIGHT!!

It's actually sunny where I am sat in my semi rural village overlooking the channel a mere 18 miles from France. Other than a 10 mins of light sleet the sun is coming out.

Josh was correct and I'm lucky to have a mate in the position he is in.

Hi , I am in Essex on the South East coast of UK

It has been snowing on and off this morning albeit lightly

A definite change in temperature from yesterday - sat outside in the garden eating ice cream.

Today its around 5/6 degrees , am off to Clacton-on-Sea later as have an eye test and its the nearest town and intend to wrap up warm as its quite exposed to North Sea there.

Temps expected to go down to -1 tonight , whereas recently we have had temps of 7/8 at night

The snow has stopped , the sky is white though - yesterday clear blue skies and sunshine and today this

Weird

UPDATE:

Glorious SUNSHINE here on South East Coast of Kent. Park is full of families enjoying themselves.

My mate Josh was right as always....see I told you.

Just spoke to my mate Josh who's in the local environmental department, I'm in the south east coast and he says it's all much ado about nothing. 24 hrs of slightly colder weather a touch of ground frost overnight and -1oC but will pass within a day....BIG DEAL.

Just been to supermarket...no panic buying or anything people just acting normally so I call this a MASSIVE DOOM FAIL.

I'm on the Southend coast and it's been glorious sunshine all day here!

Plenty sunshine here in Essex mate....I ve been out with the dog wearing me sunglasses

Winter is HERE.

Bit chilly here today but not even got the heating on so its not terribly cold.

Sauf Essex eh ??
