Winter 2014 - Weather Predictions

[Jokester]

Feel like tucking into some marshmallows now for some reason.

Don't think it'll be a bad winter.

 

[D.P.]

Current indications are for an average to slightly above average mild winter.
A weak El-nino often means milder conditions early but cooler later, so a cool spring might be on the cards.

Britain is on track for its warmest year ever and that is likely to continue the odds of a milder winter due to persistence of climatic factors.



Still way to early to tell, wait until mid December and we can start to see what is on the cards.

 

[darael]

It's usually at the end of January when we see winter at it's coldest.

 

[XeNoN89]

Nobody has any idea what the winter will be like and any dramatic headlines like we see multiple times a year from crap papers like the express can be completely ignored.

talking with a mate who works weather for a airport in the north of america and he says we will probably be in for a colder than average, and depending what happens with artic winds we could get a ton of snow.

doesnt expect it to be the same as last winter though.

North America might have a colder than average winter on the east coast, El ninos normally do that. And when the US east cold is cold the Atlantic will generate more storms and the UK will be milder.

 

[Squark]

It'll be cold, with added wet.

 

[Mynight]

It will be cold but feel warm with all the ebola.

I hope for snow.

Sliver is banned now? Guess they were out to get him .

he said probably, after all weather is weather

There's a lot more factors to consider than an El Nino, the hemisphere is completely different than last year so far, there is also far more snow across russia,sibera than many many years so far. In truth it's more equal to 2012 than 2013...

I am more positive of snow this winter, you heard that here first

I hope not, not sure I could cope with temperatures dropping below 65F for more than a few days

It's Polar Vortex time again.....

Solar activity at the moment will be offsetting the effects of Siberian snow coverage, etc. in regards to the chances of snow/wintery weather over most of the UK the current set of conditions though would mean that towards the end of the year and first couple of months of next year any significant lull in solar activity and/or lull in warming effects off the Atlantic would likely lead to brief but heavy wintery conditions, otherwise for the most part its likely to be relatively mild and wet.

The next significantly cold winter is likely to be 2016/17 (when we might even see a white christmas generally in the UK) as current long range predictions show a high chance of the major factors coming together, though factors like the current volcanic events in Iceland have the potential to have an (unpredictable) impact.

Nobody has any idea what the winter will be like and any dramatic headlines like we see multiple times a year from crap papers like the express can be completely ignored.

That guy literally I think F5s the weather radar and any time there is a plume of cold moving from the Arctic vaguely our way prophesies a mini ice age.

 

[hyperseven]

White Xmas in Manchester is currently at 4/1 (London 5/1), worth a punt?

 

[Rroff]

Current predictions show a small chance of snow around the 19th of Dec (gone long before christmas day) IIRC and not very optimistic for anything else in 2014 but as always anything more than 5 days ahead is little more than guesswork.

[LOAM]

I'm hoping its mild, dry and spring is early. Can't be doing with the disruption winter brigs and don't even start me on bad drivers. I hate going to, and coming home from work in the dark.

 

[Cosimo]

Five month forecast: Wet, mild, cold, colder, wet, mild. No I don't work at the Met Office.

 

[pitchfork]

Something like 2011 where you couldn't drive anywhere for 6 weeks?

Couldn't drive anywhere? What are you, a woman?

I just kept on like usual, the world doesn't stop turning for a bit of snow.

And I imagine it's going to get bad considering how much good weather we've had this year. It was only the other day when it began raining I realised I hadn't seen rain in a while.

Can't remember if it was 2011 but sometime around then it was pretty bad the roads were mostly impassable in my town for 3 days at one point.
