25-02-2010 11:10am#1I moved back from the states to get away from the freezing winters over there, only to be greeted by this! It never used to be like this, did it?
Where is the global warming that we're all hearing about?
Does anyone know if we are going to have a nice early, warm, sunny Spring followed by a roasting hot summer
I can't take much more of this, but then again, I suppose I would take the sunny cold days over the grey, windy, rainy days .............. but still.0

You'll be ok those charts rarely come to life
Current conditions are very benign compared to that other chart.
No sign of spring though unless you can catch a nice sheltered sun spot.

Thats it, where's my friggin passport ..............
Seriously though, did I hear some almanac predicting all this and saying that we will in fact have a great spring & summer, or am I totally deluding myself
Someone will always predict good/bad weather ever summer and winter and claim to be the best forecaster in the world should they eventually get it right. i wouldn't take these long range forecasts too serious :pac:0 -

Maybe being used by some tennis head in a much warmer country :pac:
Seriously, while the jet stream keeps up its 'more southerly than normal' behaviour, we can forget about long hot summers than dont involve frequent monsoons. The unusually south position of the jet stream this winter I dont think is a good sign for this summer.

I think it's called "global warming" because it keeps moving around the globe, even Ken Ring is flummoxed and is now looking for patterns in cups of tea.:)0 -

Because it is continuing the trend of the jet stream being further south than it should be. Therefore it's showing no signs of tending to going back to its normal positioning behaviour. What has killed our last few 'summers' is it being further south than normal, so if this behaviour continues this summer will also be a wash out. So I'm expecting a summer much like the last two:( I hope (god I really hope) to be wrong, after all I'm no expert.0 -

I had assumed (mistakenly) that the more southerly jet stream would have been favourable for a dryer summer, high pressure more likely to build up around our region. If the jet stream goes back to its normal position i'd expext wave after wave of atlantic fronts no matter what time of year. 0 -

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that usually during the Summer it flows north of us, taking the Atlantic depressions to the north of us. Over the last few Summers it has been more southerly than it's usual position, therefore bringing the Atlantic depressions over us. Of course, if it stays where it is now, then we could be in for a good dry Summer, but I think (open to correction on this) usually it's position is more northerly in the Summer than in the Winter, so I would expect it to track more northerly than it is now for the Summer, and if it follows its current trend and does not go back to its usual Summer position, then that means it being over us again this Summer. Again, I say I'm no expert, so this could be a load of bs. I'd be delighted if some more knowledgeable people on here were of the opinion that the jet stream is capable of staying where it is now for the Summer - could mean the difference between a deck chair or a canoe.0 -
