It looks to me like a fairly standard displacement of the stratospheric vortex that happens quite often at this time of year. At upper levels in the stratosphere the vortex is displaced towards the UK and at lower levels towards Russia. If anything it is a little late this year.

In terms of what we can expect then I think we will see high pressure spreading from the south to cover the UK. So I would be thinking a few days of cooler temperatures with perhaps some fog.

Followed closely by a brief northerly spell. This could give snow but the ice sheet to our north has been disrupted and held back by the recent icelandic lows.Considering other spells similar to this then you might be thinking about snow for Scotland or through the cheshire gap. If it continues for more than a few days then you might start to think about polar lows coming south from off the coast of Norway. At the moment it just looks like a brief northerly , but it is way too early to tell.

What it does mean is that the siberian high gets disrupted with more mobile weather crossing the likes of Norway and Novaya Zemlya. It is my contention that mountain torque from these areas (think wave breaking or low pressure systems crossing the mountains) are key areas for planetary waves which can disrupt the stratospheric vortex. In other words this displacement could set us up for another warming in around a months time.

What we can be sure about is that the events in the stratosphere now are setting us up for a change in pattern and for once I will be rather glad to say goodbye to the icelandic low for a bit.

There is no changes happening to the sun. We are entering a solar minimum.

wrong. solar max. learn2google

Don't worry about my ponies. Their not barn babies. Getting them out of the wind is the biggy. Blankets come out after it dips to minus 30 not before. Its mostly the young ones I worry about. Its good to let them get their coats on themselves but they aren't wild now are they.

Food is the biggy. When they eat they are warm. I just shovel it up when it gets colder. I already bought way more hay than I need for the Winter.

Just Saying.

yes this is very very bad... at least it seams so

These are real ponies and not My Little Ponies, right?

No wonder you use a sponge bob icon.

yeah cos Brad is a real expert




for fucks sake this is nothing nothing nothing to do with the sun...

:coxstfu:

Ya lets see that bitch drink 1\3 of the jug first

Luis! I read through the last couple pages but it's not immediately clear to me.. In 3 sentences or less can you tell me what the implications are of 'sudden stratospheric warming'?

I should imagine she has acetone in the bottle as that would do that at that temp, were as water would not..

lol...hilarious !!!
