Week Ahead 20/01/2025 - Big changes on the way - Met Office weather forecast UK

[@jjcodenet_media]

I found your forecast to be exceptionally well-presented. The team clearly put a lot of thought into explaining the different scenarios, and I especially appreciate the effort to make it understandable for those of us who aren't experts in the field.

[@robertholding6609]

You are joking right?

[@thedandude]

@@robertholding6609 Don't be toxic

[@robertholding6609]

@thedandude It's the Met office who are toxic. Always trying to scare us with their graphics and trying to kowtow us to the climate change narrative. It's every week, a named storm. It's just scaremongering like the rest of the legacy media does..

[@lion73266]

Alex is the Met Office Legend.

[@bruceybrew]

He needs to do at least 90%of these reports, nobody else comes close

[@harrisonandrew]

I bloody hate windy weather, especially mixed with rain 😢

[@pennypink3759]

Yeah it's the worst weather.

[@s1914]

Spot on, give me cold but dry any day

[@bbbf09]

I love the wind! Life affirming. Not so much with rain - agreed. At least if proonged. If short duration real power rain/wind blast can be fun (as long as not damaging or life threatening)

[@georgepointer1127]

Never minded it much at all until I became a window cleaner😂.

[@garymitchell8394]

Roll on the spring

[@katieGwilt]

So strong winds, where as the idiots at daily mail, the sun and other news posts reports major snow storms 😂

[@orbitspec9199]

"weather bomb" was one of the things they used 😂 weather bomb with fragments of water traveling at high speed with intense air pressure displacement affecting local foliage and bin lids. Stay frosty people

[@katieGwilt]

@orbitspec9199 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love the people employed who spread the nonsense weather news

[@LennyDogge]

The Mirror reported "HORROR snow storms across whole of the UK by Friday. 😂

[@katieGwilt]

@LennyDogge that means clear skies and a chance of a heat wave

[@SuperTed.]

It won't even rain I'm calling it

[@MrMK2001]

So well positioned and articulated. This chap is very good at his job.

[@lindadunn5707]

Thankyou very much again Alex ☺️ you always make me smile even with more weather for ducks just hope they can fly away & quickly 😮 that face to me looks like a lord Vordamort he who should not be named lol, lets hope it doesn't bring to much snow with a sting in its tale like poor America are having right now i pray for them all in Texus 🙏,You are a 🌟 in my eyes Alex you always give it to us straight, take care & thankyou to everyone, @ our met office 🏬 & do take care travelling in these awful winds & heavy rain you travel in to bring us all a fantastic service, reading & showings us excellent weather graphics ,all my love & best wishes Linda Dunn from Newport Shropshire UK x❤😊

Exciting forecast 🌬️nice shirt 👍🏻

[@kevinford6420]

Glad im off to Madeira tomorrow 😁

[@Mike.Smth2112]

The models have been narrowing down the storm on Friday. Limerick, Galway and Kerry are of particular concern on the west coast of Ireland. Could be one of the worst storms in many years.

[@UK_sTTorms]

Could be similar to storm Eunice

[@Callumsupdates]

Thanks alex

Thank you, Alex, for your excellent forecasting and very engaging presentation. And yes I did see the face.

Ah, this looks good!! We are going to Porthleven for a few days at the weekend, would love to see a strorm hit the sea wall there!!

Is it spring yet ?😮

[@suewright1299]

Very many thanks Alex. What a week! 😮 It’ll certainly be very wet, but the closer it gets to Friday..! The Jet Stream speed says it all, the isobars too. Let’s hope it goes further above Scotland. 🤞 Thanks again, the Met Office too. Take care everyone

[@clivemountain1165]

Flying into the UK on Friday- looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride.

[@raypitts4880]

you might end up being 20 mins early if the jet stream keeps moving

I see the face 🫨 today weather was mild but 5pm its getting really cold. Looking forward to sunshine.

Yeh 250 mile an hour winds very normal😅😅

[@michaelcarr304]

@@jeanbartrum2773 That's at a very high altitude. The strongest wind recorded in the UK was 153 knots (176mph) - at the peak of the Cairngorms (Scotland) back in 1986. Don't get drawn in by sensational yet largely irrelevant numbers. A force 5 (highest level) hurricane is 157mph 😏

[@UK_sTTorms]

@@michaelcarr304 This will be a bit stronger than storm Eunice it seems, the numbers just keep getting larger, A couple days ago it said 50 mph where i am, now it’s nearing 70

Stripes in the sky - cloudy and cold. No stripes in the sky - sunny and warm. That's it!

[@davepumford2963]

Nice forecast 👌

[@globaltraveller]

Indeed looking pretty nasty, particularly for the north of the British Isles at the end of this week. The central belt of Scotland looks concerning on some runs. Hoping for some model downgrades as the days go on. Thanks as always Alex for giving us all the scenarios.

[@BruceMesser]

No mention of a spell of snow over higher ground across Scotland on Friday morning.

[@katienorthenmore1892]

well Mr Deakin , that's a scared looking face, a bit of a whooly there! thank you for update.

I think we should prepare for it just in case.😢😢😂

[@georgewaters6424]

That's just embarrassing!! Met office do better much better. He is literally flanked by a weather map in scenario 2 where the biggest impacts are across the Scotlands central belt and Northern Ireland, and yet the presenter name checks England and Wales for adverse effects. No mention of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Timestamp 05:33

[@bobm198]

Another posterior covering forecast from UKMetO

[@terryaherne6186]

5, 10, even 20° colder than normal passes without special remark. Had this been summer, just one degree warmer anywhere in the world, on any given tuesday, would be hailed as a harbinger of climatic disaster to come.

[@neilthornton3544]

Conspiracy theorist alert!

[@mbride8973]

Climate change, i.e. global heating is all about average temperature changes over years and decades. Rare very high and low temperatures have always occurred and will continue to do so. As the devastating effects of significant long-term climate warming increase, occasional local variation will happen but will not stop,the overall trend. I recommend reading the IPCC summary reports and perhaps some recent books by climate scientists.

[@paulsullivan8883]

Blimey, they do walk among us 😂

[@JGProspecting]

It's called winter, temperature tend to go up and down 😂

[@bigwideworld387]

The temperature on any one day isn't what they look at, it's averages, it's sea temperatures! Why do you think it's getting a lot harder for anyone to see snow away from the pennines and Scottish mountains? Because the warmer seas are making precipitation fall more as sleet than snow, that's why nowadays if it snows during the night you are lucky if it's not melted by the time you've got up in the morning. It's not a conspiracy, the weather is blatantly changing! In 200 years from now, Iceland will have lost all it's glaciers and permafrost, by that time many places will be permanently under the sea including parts of the UK.

[@UK_sTTorms]

Probably

[@bigwideworld387]

​@@IDontModWTFzbut isn't it arrogance to call the risk of 80+ mph winds a slight bit of wind? It never seems to take much wind for people to get killed does it? There are certain parts of Ireland and Scotland that take a real beating from some of these Atlantic storms. You might not live in a location that gets it bad but some people do.

Why don't you just say we're not sure instead of using % numbers that equate to zero accuracy!

[@bigwideworld387]

Because it's far more useful to know what is the most likely scenario or what could potentially happen if the weather system tracks differently. Some people and businesses need to prepare for potential severe weather and need as much information as they can get.
