Did you ever get this @Brent? Hoping people get notifications when we respond...

Could euro4 be right? Let's start the #uksnow debate...

We'll be conducting updates to our Snow Watch advisory over the next few weeks. We'll post them here once ready and we'd appreciate if you can provide feedback as to how helpful you may find these updates. Here's a sneak peak at what we'll be adding in the next week...

Hi @Brent, so sorry nobody got back to you sooner. I guess it would be appropriate to talk about Monday into Tuesday now. Early hours of Tuesday look to be your best chance, as the main rain band passes. Otherwise showers could catch you which maybe wintry. You probably have the best chance than most but showers and even within the main front will be hit and miss. An easterly air flow would be most peoples best bet.

I would also like to give a special thanks to @Sryan Bruen (Sean Bruen), Daniel Smith, and @Chailey Stowe for joining Metcast when we desperately needed more team members. You guys are what makes Metcast great. Thank you! 100% of donations made via Paypal between 22nd and 27th December 2018 will be divided between them.

Christmas is NEXT WEEK. 4 whole days away... We give our team members the choice as to wether or not they contribute to operations during Christmas, apart from Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day where we run an intermittent service and they can work but are encouraged to take time off. It's really slow normally, providing there's no snow or storm. During this time it usually but not always consists of one person (me!) running the entire show--monitoring weather models, running social media, responding to emails / live chat etc etc. Below is a guideline for our availability over the festive season. 24th December 2018 (Christmas Eve): Normal until 5pm then intermittent 25th December 2018 (Christmas Day): Intermittent 26th December 2018 (Boxing Day): Intermittent 27th December 2018: Normal 28th December 2018: Normal 29th December 2018: Normal 30th December 2018: Normal 31st December 2018 (New Years Eve): Normal until 5pm then intermittent 1st January 2019 (New Years Day): Intermittent Thank you for all the support you gave us in 2018. We wouldn't be here without the continued growth on Twitter and Facebook but mainly due to the visits to our website enabling us to raise a small amount of funds through serving ads. If you would like to support us further or say Merry Christmas in the form of a monetary gift please consider contributing to our running costs, which seems to be ever increasing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year folks!

Well, model output certainty hasn't been boring for the last few weeks. 12z is currently running and it's snowing the possibility of some snow showers in the east and south east (although I suspect this won't amount to much--famous last words!). Share your thoughts and opinons on the model output below...

Wouldn't it be funny if that turned out to be wrong

Thanks to @Sryan Bruen for the idea... how would you rate the weather so far this year? Here's mine... January - 8/10 February - 8/10 March - 9/10 April - 6/10 May - 7/10 June - 7/10 August - 5/10 September - No idea as I was away for most of it/10 (Switzerland and Italy were lovely though! ) October - 3/10

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published its long-awaited special report on 1.5°C of global warming yesterday, at a meeting in South Korea. What's everyone thoughts? Read the report at https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/releases/2018/ipcc-1.5-report

snowwatch.org.uk will be launching tonight and thus finally commencing operations. However judging by our week ahead update published a few hours ago we won't need to worry about snow this week...

Still no progress. Hoping for some news by end of day on Monday. So sorry for the delay!

Good afternoon! We are investigating some server issues with snowwatch.org.uk which is currently preventing us from launching the site. As I'm sure you're aware Snow Watch is meant to launch today however this situation puts that at jeopardy. We'll update you here when we know more. The giveaway should not be affected and we'll still be choosing a winner at 9pm providing the site is still accessible. A separate announcement will be made once we are told everything is resolved.

First, significant snowfall in the United Kingdom. My guess would be sometime between 15th November and 1st December. Anyone dare to say a particular date.. ? Winners will get my respect and if you live in the South East a pint on me.

A place to share your weather pictures and any observations..
