October 2018 Forecast

I'm seeing October as a particularly chilly month, and I see it as becoming increasingly unsettled. With high pressure becoming a less common feature as the month progresses, the start of October may be quite dry and  sunny, but I believe that will be shortlived for both the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, it'll feel more like autumn as the month progresses, and less like summer, this mostly dry weather we've been having in both the UK and Ireland looks like itll be coming to an end.

I do see more increased westerlies, however I do see quite cold winds at times making inroads into the UK, (north easterlies) more towards the end of the month though.

I do believe that it'll be a cooler than average October (the first cooler than average October since 2012) I don't think it'll be as cold as 2012 though, however it really just depends.

People will be asking about whether we will see snowfall this October, but that's incredibly hard to predict/say this early, however if October is quite a cool month, we do have an increased likelihood of seeing some snow particularly in parts of Scotland but you cant rule out the odd snow shower in England etc, as both 2012, and 2008 produced snow showers at low levels. And I believe 2000 did also.

However it really depends because you need the right set up.

Finally, to round everything up, a cooler, more wetter October is expected, possible snow if there is the correct** setup. Drier beginning, cooler wetter end expected.

Spring Forecast

Spring Forecast March I'm expecting an unsettled, chillier than average or average start to March but not particularly cold. But quite quickly I expect high pressure to reestablish over the UK, possibly mid-month. Which for a time could bring quite mild weather for March. I expect it to become quite a bit drier also, maybe very dry, the dry weather could be alleviated in some areas by one off downpours here and there. In my personal opinion, I do think we could see some exceptionally mild weather later in March too. That's just my opinion. April in my view I think things may switch a bit to be on the cooler side, northerly winds could become prominent in this month, I do think there could be some snowfall when we do get northerly winds but whereabouts is obviously unknown at this stage. But personally I think April will be a cooler than average or average month. Rainfall I think it could be a bit drier than average for some parts or on the average side. (Here...

Winter Forecast 2018/19

Winter Forecast 2019 Not for definite, and my personal opinion, from what I've seen. I think this Winter personally will be quite chilly, becoming colder, with a quite chilly December,  (not overly cold) with some snow, possibly similar to last year, but I think the snow in December won't come as early as 2017, probably a bit later. I don't think that December 2018, will be a severe cold month, no December 2009, 1995, or 2010 (of course) But I don't see a overly mild December like 2015, 2016 etc. I do think that December 2018 will probably be similar to 2017, in terms of temperatures possibly a bit milder. Overall quite an average month in terms of rainfall, due to a very mild and unsettled first half, we'll probably see some northerly incursions giving a few snow showers, we will probably see high pressure interludes more than usual, but at the same time I don't think this December will solely be dominated by high pressure. This December will probabl...
