@TheSnowDreamer You must be loving it .... surprised you haven't mentioned snow !! What a joke

A chillier week to come with potential for unseasonably late and damaging frost. Heavy showers are likely to be widely encountered midweek with these capable of producing hail and thunder. patreon.com/posts/week-ahe…

@edfenergy Yes but the balance is not correct there either???

@sbarker555 Hi, we are aware of an issue with the mobile app and there is an in app message being displayed advising we are working on a fix, which should be completed soon. In the meantime, you can access MyAccount in full by logging in at edfenergy.com/myaccount/. ^Steve.

@edfenergy Why are balances not available still been broken for days ???

@TheSnowDreamer If only you could dislike on twitter ... #countdowntospring

No shortage of cold air to east… #bigfreeze

@GrittingKent Oh joy ... salt everywhere

Readiness colour for the next 5 days Tuesday - Green Wednesday - Amber Thursday - Red Friday - Red Saturday - Green

@NickJF75 Thank goodness we don't see this often ... What a nightmare!

Can’t believe this was 16 years ago, Tunbridge Wells, Kent on the morning of 18th December 2009. Was usually a 15 minute walk from my house at the time to work, but took a bit longer that morning

@metjeffuk Hopefully it's not cold or wet or snow.. counting days to spring

Models had a wobble, which is expected, but it's just a blip. The main theme is still for cold or very cold. Stay with Metjeff and WATCH THIS SPACE!!🥶🥶🥶

@TheSnowDreamer Just pray no snow

The UK is expected to experience its coldest Christmas Day in 5 years (2020) with highs around 5C in London. The European model brings in low dew points from near continent (dry air) and is presenting a cold and sunny day for many. 👍 It will feel colder with a particularly bracing easterly wind in SE.

@TriciaNo2 @Met4CastUK I'm with you hopefully not .... would be happy with sun, dry and cold but preferably mild

@Met4CastUK I do hope not! Apologies to snow and cold lovers.

Merry Christmas. The ICON 12z brings the cold air in during Christmas eve with snow flurries moving into eastern areas. This is perhaps a less likely evolution as things stand, but a plausible one very much on the table ⛄️

@TheSnowDreamer Jackpot for who, not for me, just the crazies .... Bring back the heat

Now that’s the jackpot! Will be hard to top GFS 18z….

@TheSnowDreamer Hopefully not

The afternoon model runs feels significant. All major det models ignoring Canadian model, including AIFS which has been uninterested are now showing a significant blocking feature to N/NE and rather cold easterly winds in time for Xmas. Confidence on a blocked/colder Christmas-New Year period rising.

@TheSnowDreamer Hopefully not ....

A technical white Christmas for parts of SE England on the relatively new AIGFS model. Flurries. It really depends on good northwards orientation of high, if it can cut off far enough north in Scandinavia, we could introduce a cold continental flow from east. The chance of white Christmas has slightly increased but I'd still put around 15% - unusually further south and east with better odds. Not north which will be closer to blocking high.

@SurreyPalmsWX Brilliant!!!!

This is not a forecast by any means - but a quick peak at Christmas Day on the 00z ECM. 👀 Highs of 13-14°C under this setup. Nighttime lows of about 10°C in southern England. 🌡️ Some people might be cooking their Christmas dinner on a BBQ and eating it outdoors on the patio 🎅

@TheSnowDreamer Why uninspiring??? Milder is better, yes it could be better dry .... But better to be warmer

A pretty uninspiring outlook continues. Temps remaining well above average both day and night. Rainfall looks to be near average in E so not particularly wet but far from dry. Growing support for something more seasonable near Xmas but a white one currently looks far fetched!

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband I do hope these savings are government mandated to those whom have sensibly chosen a fixed rate to stabilise their costs. It would be unacceptable to only pass savings to variable rate customers... This must be guaranteed.

News. Energy standing charges finally to fall? Delighted the Government (h/t @Ed_Miliband) has listened and is consulting on shifting the Warm Home Discount costs off the standing charge and onto the unit rate. This is exactly the right direction. You can respond to the consultation here: url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/1D9dCBgKgf6m… If implemented, it would remove around £39 a year from the standing charge (roughly split between gas and electricity), starting next April. That timing aligns with the planned reduction in unit rates announced in the Budget (via moving some other policy costs into general taxation). Overall, assuming all else stays equal (which it won’t, as I’ve written before), this means the standing charge should fall, and the unit rate should still fall too, because the added cost from this shift is smaller than the reduction from removing the policy costs. It’s only a baby step, but it’s a step in the right direction. I now hope @ofgem follows this route in its long-term consultation on the future structure of energy bills. The current standing charge is a moral hazard that disincentivises lower usage and keeps bills high for people who use very little energy. Its the biggest single cause of complaint I get about energy bills, by a mile. Paying £300+ a year simply for the facility of having energy is too much. It also penalises older people who don’t use gas in the summer yet still pay for it every day. I’ve pushed on this for years, and it’s good to finally see some (albeit small) movement. So do feed in to the consultation to ensure it happens.

@metoffice Joy of joy's more rain ....

Why is it so unsettled at the moment? A powerful jet stream will continue to drive our weather into next week and may help to rapidly deepen an area of low pressure later on Monday and into Tuesday.

@NickJF75 Perfect!!

Europe living up to its reputation as the fastest warming continent in early December, most of the continent v. mild early next week, meanwhile eastern N America in the freezer! Despite favourable signals of late (SSW, MJO phase 7, -IOD, eQBO) there's no 'winter' on the horizon

@TheSnowDreamer Brilliant!!

Cold shot after cold shot in much of 🇨🇦🇺🇸 whilst UK/Europe is set to see unusually mild temperatures into next week. Bah humbag.

@Met4CastUK Warmer the better

This is a good outlook for people who pay their own heating bills. Average or mild for the foreseeable with no sign of anything particularly cold 📈 Potentially a very wet outlook.

@TheSnowDreamer Hate it unless it's full sun , blue sky everyday, that kind of boring is perfect bliss

Another day of sunshine and showers. Localised thunderstorms. Enjoying it? 😉 personally as a weather enthusiast makes a change to see varied weather and different cloudscapes. It has been a pretty boring weather year still 3 months to go though.
