Time for the Daily Express coldest winter for 100 years and 3 months of snow to make it's annual appearance. A very mild, wet and windy winter 1-8 odds

I worked a night shift last night (in Leeds) I had to scrape ice off my windscreen at 6:40 am which was nice and refreshing!

I've got my beady eye on the Northern Hemisphere snow cover charts like this -> NOAA Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover
When it hits October keep an eye out for increases to Siberian snow cover % as this CAN influence atmospheric conditions including disrupt the polar vortex and lead to sudden stratospheric warming which CAN lead to increased displacement of the vortex and allow cold air to travel to mid latitude areas like us.
FWIW some of my thoughts centre around proxies for previous La Nina years and current conditions might suggest a front loaded winter [Dec - Jan/Feb] but we'll see.

Then it's only 6 months to its annual 'Scorchio Barbecue Summer with 4 months of record-breaking killer heat' headline, which usually presages a cool, washout, summer

I get all excited when I see this thread appear. Like normal, I'm disappointed when I open it.
Unless @Papa Lazarou post, it's not worth reading.

The forecast high here in the Phoenix area for Sunday is 99F - assuming that happens, it will be the first day since May 27 that we don't hit triple digits.
That would be a run of 111 consecutive days of temperatures hitting at least 100 - absolutely smashing the previous record of 87 consecutive days.
I'm looking forward to going out for a walk at 5:30 in the morning before work - and not being sweaty when I return home.
Possibly an urban myth, but a few years ago, a male TV weather presenter apparently forecast some heavy overnight snow, which never materialised.
The next evening, the programme's female presenter, about to introduce that evening's forecast, said: "So, Bob, what happened to the 8 inches you promised me last night?", whereupon everyone cracked-up laughing live on air, and they had to cut immediately to a commercial break.

I was born in January 62 so I can't claim to remember that. My mum and dad did used to tell me stories though!

Nothing to see for us at this stage. Interestingly they did have a little snow on the Scottish Highlands this week though.

Where have the cold winter blue skies gone? We have a high sitting over us. There is no rain anywhere and yet all we have is high grey skies for days on end. No forecast of this changing this week. Odd.

Anti cyclonic gloom. Nothing unusual sadly. Quite likely to also see some temperature inversions as well so expect fog and maybe some 'cooler' nights.
