Title: Weather for the Pod
Post by: QD MBE on January 28, 2009, 06:50:51 pm
I get access to a Met Office Forecaster every day, and i have asked him what the weather is likely to be on Sun in the midlands.

He reckons, quite breezy and bright start, so it will be cold, with a NE wind.  So expect a bit of wind chill.  it will be cold out of the wind, and this will be increased to somewhere below freeezing in the wind, so the Intake temps will be ok!

The big one - rain - He does not think so.  Reckons it will start fairly clear skied, and gradually build as the day extends.  To medium level cloud, so not rain threatening.  He does not expect any rain until Mon/Tuesday.

So take a umbrella, and a rain coat!  Usually they are pretty good.  I will get a detailed forecast on Friday morning, during our daily flying brief.

Great work Weatherman Dave  :happy2:, as long as the food is good, beer is cold, access to wash car nearby, and good greasy breakfast in the morning, and a big turnout, then will be a memerable weekend. :happy2:

Right further sitrep.

There is a high (1028) sat over the baltic region, which is dominating the weather.  It is tracking east-ish and is pushing out the lows sat over Ireland away and north ish. 

This will slowly push the cloud and misty bits away as the cold dry air associated with 1028 advances.

Hence the nice cool start to the weekend and NE winds.

So he said.......................

Still raining here down south as well. Let's hope that if it rains now, it'll have rained itself out by Sunday. However, there is no accounting for English weather!

apparently he meant for the midlands..............

He reckons the rain down the West side of the uk, will track NW and the nicer cooler weather will push in.  I have started calling him Cuprinol!
