So far this winter there have been quite fair amount of snowy spells but the snow always tends to melt, but those in the NW and North have had a few longer lasting snowfalls with more wintry snow showers settling and falling up North and in North England etc.
There have been a fair number of cold frosty nights, but there have been less cold periods as well- and the very good thing is that the mild weather has lasted longest in the SW South and SE UK.
This upcoming week is both wet windy and mild, and also showery and chilly, with Thursday turning cold again- by Friday UKMO takes that cold Northerly toppler Low away and thereafter Mild SW and West Winds with the Azores High is being shown to directly affect our weather.
Time will tell, the GEM, UKMO, GFS, ECMWF and NAVGEM and ICON Models support the Mid N. Atlantic SW and Central Europe and UK to be affected by large areas of High Pressure with areas of PV Low Pressure cells passing over it to our NW and NE.
Not really much of any significant interest for fans of cold frosty snowy and wintry weather, but you never know that the situation sometimes can change, but most of the time what we fear most is likely to happen as we live on a Island at the NE side of N Atlantic Sea hmm.
.
Climate is warming up, Scotland and N Ireland and North England still often gets some Winter frost, ice and snow, November to March, but the SE and South UK including S Central England and Wales, together with the West and North through the year, they sometimes get more rain than London and S SE England, where some longer dry fine spells without much heavy rain is seen every year.
The North Atlantic Sea often gets some much Colder Wintry conditions from November to March Months, and Mild SW and South winds tend to be more frequent over the East and SE of North Atlantic Sea, as the Azores High tends to stay in charge.
With this warmth and heat, the Central and South UK has become mostly free of snow and frost.
