@MetJam_ Beautiful July evening 😉

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 Always the optimist which I like. Adding in some reality, while it could lead to cold conditions, it would be mid to late March by the time it flows down. Then becomes a bit messy all round

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@Official_WXUK Only be a couple of lines and we would be hovering around the 1-3 cm tape measure

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@TheSnowDreamer South Westerly flows have been non existence this winter, until now. For once, no blow torch mild spells during the depths of winter, albeit no real cold spells either

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 10 months to go
This winter, nothing exceptionally mild (for once) and nothing exceptionally cold. Fluctuations between slightly above and slightly below. Milder overall

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@TheSnowDreamer There's been a lot of cold periods in Scandinavia in recent years. Bucked a trend as they had many years with pretty mild weather

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@Petagna are there any drivers that are contributing to Antarctic sea ice doing very this year? Considering the state of climate warming, holding up very well.

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@TheSnowDreamer Arctic sea ice is slowly catching up, Antarctic sea ice is in line with the 81-10 average!!

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 A few flakes here but overall another pretty mild winter for England and Wales. Not many frosts and not many snow lying days (if any for most). Parts of Scotland has had a colder winter

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 March 2013 followed a major SSW didn't it around mid February?

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 @Met4CastUK You'll always find a cold run somewhere in 10 days time, even in August.

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@GavinPartridge A winter in amongst a very mild decade overall

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 While some element of warming is evident in the strat, your being hopeful if the UK will become significantly colder. Mid Feb is upon us and although a 2018 is always possible, highly unlikely. Temperatures generally will just continue to edge upwards

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@Met4CastUK Climate change has had a massive impact on the UK weather, on all seasons. Not just winter. Extreme cold is evident across the globe but the UK has had very few of these. USA and Scandinavia often produce very very cold winter periods

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@CityAndy2 @Met4CastUK I don't think the post is about cold weather not being prevalent in winter. The UK winters have been mild for over 30 years with only a few cold ones

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@MATTYWOLVES3 I don't think you can say Climate change hasn't killed our winters.Our winters have predominantly been average or above average for over 30 years with very few cold periods compared to mild periods.Extreme cold is still common, especially in the USA and Scandinavia but not the UK

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@RandomHuman_HB LP over France is key for a sustained easterly in the UK

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@TheSnowDreamer That is absolutely staggering, one of the depressing winter stats of climate change that is. Sub 3C isn't even that notable. December has become November V2 and February just a 4th Spring month. To say the UK is due a cold February is an understatement

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@TheSnowDreamer Not had many cold February's in the last 10 years. February mostly a spring month but maybe a cold start this year. Would certainly feel nice to have a February that doesn't get close to 20C

[Weather4u2 @Weather4u2]

@TheSnowDreamer Maybe, more may re accumulate later but I think this will be pretty close come tomorrow. SW Wales may be an anomaly
