This page will be updated twice during the course of each month, once at the beginning and once in the middle to take a look at likely weather patterns for the month ahead. Please remember that long-range forecasting is an experimental science and is subject to inaccuracy further out in the forecast period. Use these forecasts as a guide.

Loving the updates. Starting to look forward to what winter may bring this year. Will you be doing a ski forecast
Thanks I appreciate that! I probably wont be doing a Ski Forecast this year as it’s not really something I’m too familiar with, I will look into getting something like that up on the site for next year, though!
There is apparently going to be extremely strong winter blizzards with predicted snowfall up to 2 ft in scotland and at least half a foot in the UK. The other day it was 0 degrees C in newcastle and its only september
Love your style on everything you do and say…keep up the good work,as you’ve got plenty of happy supporters!
I appreciate that, I’m glad your finding the forecasts useful 🙂
I’m new to this site and can honestly say it’s brilliant! I can’t wait for the winter forecast to arrive, hoping for really cold and snowy weather during the winter of 2012 / 2013.

Snow boarding tennison down on the
Isle of Wight in 2010/11was awesome !!
Lets keep fingers crossed for 2012/13.
You’re only 16 and an absolute joke! This site is absolutely shite, ain’t ya got nothin’ else better to do with ya time?
Thanks for the comment, just want to clear a couple of things up.
I’m 21, not 16, easy mistake to make I know, especially when I’m clean shaven. We all have hobbies, the weather happens to be mine and I get enjoyment out of making weather forecasts. Your comment “nothing else better to do with your time” is slightly hypocritical, since you clearly have nothing else to do other than post needless comments like this one on websites.
Have a good day 🙂
Do yourself a favour DANIEL! I’ve a degree in Astrophysics and can reassure you, that you are totally WRONG in what you do! You are totally DELUDED and spread nothing but LIES! This site should be TERMINATED as you really DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! Any Forecasts that don’t take into consideration Solar Activity, WILL FAIL!!!
Piers
Ah, it seems the trolls have found my website. It’s my understanding that there is a lag effect when it comes down to Solar Activity, if you take a look at my winter forecast page I have indeed included Solar Activity, however it cannot be used, and there is no evidence to suggest it can be, for short term forecasts.
Unless you can show me evidence to support what you’re saying, I’m afraid your comments are without merit.
This comment was not posted by me (Piers Corbyn the real one). It is fiction and posted by a frauster whom I suggest needs help from a doctor. If you want to know what we are saying visit http://www.weatheraction.com ot twitter @Piers_Corbyn Thank you
Take no notice,Daniel…just stick to what you’re doing and keep up the good work! I’ve known Piers Corbyn to be rubbished on MORE THAN one occasion,and he’s “professional”!!??

Forecasting I suggest can only be based on the information at hand at the time and as we know nature will always have the last say. Keep up the good work Daniel. Ignore the odd doubters and enjoy your hobby as most of your followers do. Best wishes for Xmas and the new year.
Thanks Dave!
Merry Christmas 🙂
sorry Dan your forcecasting creadability has gone out the window,may as well look at seaweed as read these anymore,How you are a “senior forecaster” on the met-monkey weather forum is beyond me
Again, maybe we should wait until winters over?
1. I did not say every single day would be below average
2. December is currently running below the seasonal average, I stated it’d be below average and it currently is. Milder periods were ALWAYS likely to happen. As stated, I expect them to be relatively short lived. It looks like things are going to turn cold again into the new year if latest signals prove to be correct.
Keep these informative posts coming!
Come on Dan,you are really clutching at straws now,most of the MO forecast models have average/above average temps and rainfall for the remainder of this year and even through to mid Jan?
Clutching at straws how? You seem to have conveniently ignored the charts I’ve posted to back up what I’ve said here
You should really pay attention to what Daniel says: so far,nothing of what he has said can be misconstrued as a “forecast”. All along,he has always stated that the signs,signals and models,whatever you will call them,are only giving an INDICATION of what happen…not what WILL DEFINITELY happen! I think he’s too smart for that! And please do remember – the UK has some of the most changeable and unpredictable weather in the WORLD!!! That’s why we’re always talking about it and why sites such as these exist…don’t knock it!
And all I can say to that is: I agree 100%
LOL – trolls, get a life!!
What’s your view on this supposedly SSW? Are we going to get cold or it’s the beast from the east #2. Would be nice if you could keep updating us in plain English as you always do 🙂
Sleety lets be honest if we all new for shore what 2013 was going to bring then their would be no need to blog would their? thats what makes conversation in the end———-sleety
GFS has been showing signs of prolonged cold during every update for the past few days now with T850’s consistently edging past the -10C mark… Let’s just hope it becomes a reality 😀
ECM backs up that outlook with a very cold Operational with ensemble support , T96 is key to this whole setup, once the azores high joins with Greenland it’s game on
Daniel, do weather models take into consideration SSW? Because surely with the latest SSW we’ve seen, the UK should be in for a spell of prolonged cold, but the last few outputs are beginning to favour a more active Jet Stream that will break down the Azores and Greenland High
SSW unfortunately doesn’t guarantee cold and snowy weather for the UK, it’s a lot more complicated than that sadly
The models don’t directly take SSW data into account, as far as I know they don’t model the stratosphere but focus mainly on the Troposphere, they may look at the very bottom layer of the Stratosphere though.
What they do pick up is the Tropospheres reaction to the SSW, so whilst they might not directly take it into account, they do pick it up indirectly
