It's a bit odd, no? I was at work the other day and forgot my coat..the evening 'wind' was warm. Very disconcerting (rightly or wrongly).

Very odd. Endless Christmas songs about snow and wrapping up warm while it's 15c outside :cry:

You just been silly now. That’s not going to happen in the UK.

Move your house closer to the cold temperatures. That should work.

I don't like extremes of heat or cold tbh ,I posted that because I've been watching a few YouTube videos on Yakutsk, Russia now that really does have extremes.
Today is a nice break from all the rain down here,need to make the most of it

Can't remember the last Christmas night I woke up and had to put my arms outside of the duvet to get cooler!

Bit of SSW talk now rearing its head, some of the models offering a hint of quite brutal conditions in the last half of January though lots of noise/disagreement in the data.

Uther · 27 Dec 2023 at 08:24

Not sure I'm going to bother even leaving the house today, looks far too miserable out there.

Today I am heading to the Southern Pennines to see the family. I am exchanging the yellow wind and rain warnings in Morecambe Bay area for a solo yellow rain warning in West Yorkshire. Should get to see the new Calder Valley flood defences being properly tested.

its a bit blustery down south this morning.

I’m having to put the lights on this morning to see what I’m doing. Streetlights also on. It’s absolutely bucketing down.

The Mirror are still pushing the ‘snow bomb’ despite the fact it didn’t happen last time.

UK weather: 'Snow bomb' to smash Britain with freezing 15-day polar vortex in New Year — The Mirror

Meteorologists say Brits could be hit hit with a sudden stratospheric warning in the first half of January 2024, bringing a fortnight of prolonged freezing weather and even snow

Went for a 30 minute walk anyway, one step forwards and two sideways.

I'm not sure three steps constitutes a walk
