November arrives marking the start (for the south at least) of a seemingly tiresome 4 month period of extended autumn. A cool and wet signature from the GEFS again today to set the ball rolling. 
I'm sure many of us here would welcome a mild and dry winter now after the past few weeks. A nice and easy winter akin to 1992/93 would be nice IMO.  Edited by user 01 November 2019 16:11:14(UTC)

Not that I think for one second that's obviously going to happen but still. don't believe I have seen that before, this early. But then I've been told my memory isn't what it used to be  |

I remember the winter of '08-09 as I was halfway through a 365 photography mission and there were a lot of lovely hazy light in the Winter/early Spring season. On the other hand, Nov 2010 was very wet and unsettled and we can all remember what happened next. But of course, no two years are ever exactly alike with our mid-latitude climate.
Back on topic, the 12z GFS as well as the ECM are too painful to look at for too long, even if most of it are in the form of "cold" cyclonic activity. Much rather have a cold high being close to us. Edited by user 01 November 2019 18:58:28(UTC)

Yes, cool and unsettled (very unsettled at times) seems to sum up the current outlook. |

Impressive Scandi high on GFS, lots of variety on high pressure influence but interesting to see

Originally Posted by: ballamar  Impressive Scandi high on GFS, lots of variety on high pressure influence but interesting to see Another day, another take on the pressure pattern. GFS which yesterday was keen on a Scandi high with ridge to UK has now put establishment of HP in Scandi back a few days (to ca 13th) and even then little sign of a ridge in this direction. Instead we continue through this coming week and into the next with LP centres, nothing very deep, moving across Britain, though later on (again, ca 13th) they tend to stall and decay in situ. This allows more of a S flow and GEFS reflects this with most runs going from slightly below to slightly above average temps. Rainfall predictions on GFS show some rain everywhere and continuing for the forecast period. ECM (yesterday's 12z) is stiil with the Scandi high and ridging at the end of its run, around the 11th. |

Both GFS and ECM are coming up with a similar idea of HP ridging in from both SW and NE thus putting the UK under a slack no-man's land set up by around the 11th Nov. Until then we still have to put up with LP rattling in from the Atlantic one after the other, although the saving grace is they appear to be as decaying features so the outlook for next week may be classed as "changeable" rather than "unsettled".

Top wind speed was 109.4mph!! At the needles on the IOW. Probably not named as the winds were largely coastal and not in the important areas like London, Birmingham, or Manchester.

Just wanted to share this from weather is cool - the forecast for strength of zonal winds @ 10hpa: Seems interesting!? Could all change of course but for now at least - all models showing a weakened zonal flow into December and some even going into reverse!? If only....?

GFS has a different take on a blocking high this morning, sbecoming prminent over Scandi from the 7th but only for a week, and then retreating into Russia where it eventually reaches 1050mb. Both temp and precip below normal over Scandi for the coming week http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/prec4 though the Baltic could get a lot of snow later on. Meanwhile, back in the UK, the blocking directs a series of not very deep depressions across the UK from NW to SE (though with the caveat that yesterday's storm was forecast not very deep at one stage) and eventually (from 13th) a bit deeper but stalling them off the W of Ireland. ECM has a similar procession of depressions but without the benefit of a Scandi high until ca 12th when it emerges with a stong ridge to a mid-Atlantic high. ECM and GFS - both today's 0z - are dramatically different for the 13th GEFS continues generally unsettled and on the cold side, though several runs are back to average temps or above later on. |

I'll take that! It wouldn't be the first time that I've seen snow here in November, in fact it's snowed here in each of the last 5 Novembers however I'd be very surprised to get anything like that amount if any snow at all. The tops of the Malverns might well see a flake or two. |

Would be great if this pattern kept repeating would definitely be a case of it could snow anywhere especially Dec and jan.

One thing that I noticed on this morning's GEFS is that there is less scatter than usual among the members for the whole forecast period covered (and a great deal less than on some GEFS predictions). |
