Deep Dive 10/12/2024 - Will it stay calm after the storm? - Met Office weekly weather forecast UK

[@davidweatherley9384]

Thank you Aidan for another excellent Deep Dive, in particular for debunking some of the nonsense produced by the popular press. It was also interesting to know about the weather in Southern Africa - I would welcome more coverage of exceptional conditions elsewhere in the world.

[@codstar3]

just got the power back in the village thank the lord for the wood burner Mid Wales

[@X5493-c7p]

Just wait for Mr Ed M. banning those to reduce your carbon footprint while doing that so & so jets off to another environmental conference with hundreds of staff 😂

[@X5493-c7p]

I’m surprised that you don’t have a backup generator if I moved there that’ll be the first thing I’d get, though now Mr Ed M. Is in charge of our energy I’d recommend getting one regardless of where you are in the UK 😂

[@InisMor]

We all need wood burners. West Walesa here.

[@SkyeSeafoodandeatit]

I'm sure the met office has nothing to do with you having no power

[@s_grib]

Glad you got your power back! What a storm

[@dorsetblue12]

Thanks Aiden, a wander around the globe, and explaining what's happening to our west is always welcomed to show the wider effects of weather.

[@raysimpson1450]

Very well explained Aiden, no white Christmas for many. What was the general synopsis for the winters of 1947 and 1963 why was it so cold and snowy. We were snowed in for 2 weeks in Northumberland in 1963, was it retrogression as they say in Met office lingo. I can remember receiving a letter from the late Graham Parker, as I was asking how to be a weatherman at that time. I would like to see what brought these very cold Winters.

[@aades3237]

Thank you for educating us about heatwave in part of Africa and its effects. Let's have more, a few minutes of weather forecast from other continents.

[@MoonOnTheTides]

Agreed. I'd love to know what's driving weather patterns in places around the world. Does New Zealand have a jet stream, for example?

[@HazelKitching]

​@@MoonOnTheTidesYes New Zealand does have a jet stream

[@X5493-c7p]

When it comes to the tabloid press it either scorning hot weather or a whiteout 😂

[@kieranbryant1183]

Yesss 😂 just wait for next summer for the "50C heat bomb"😂😂

[@gmer16402]

Great educational content and thorough explanation of meteorology. Well done to the Met Office

[@carbon1740]

Thank you Aidan, brilliant Deep Dive as always, thanks also for the look out on the heatwave in Africa, that kind of heat events are absolutely mind blowing, can't even imagine that kind of heat!

[@Mat1234A]

Thank you for another fantastic deep dive Aidan and for teaching us about the heatwave in Africa. Loved this as always!

[@lindadunn5707]

Thankyou Aidan for our beautiful deep dive coverage as usual its always perfectly presented, & all i can say is Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you all @ the Met office 🏬 you do a excellent job for us all year round & to me your smiles are enough to please me , Mother Nature is sometimes a pain in the neck ,but as long as we are all healthy & are safe & can have a lovely meal for Christmas 🎄 anything else is a bonus for my daughter & me as we are disabled, so it will be a Christmas movie day & lots of fun things to do in between, so everyone keep smiling 😊because that takes away anything else that can hurt us no matter what happens, nobody can change what will happen with our weather, so i say just enjoy life thats what's important, & try to keep healthy ,& pray 🙏 for a much better new year 2025 ,thats it from me ,have a wounderful time with your families, all my love 💓 & best wishes Linda & Carly Dunn from Newport Shropshire UK xx

[@SimonPerry-u3o]

Great forecast gives me confidence to get on with my work outdoors and get it finished.

[@rayhaddock779]

I love the deep dives and haven't missed one yet. On the whole I prefer the bigger picture and modelling stuff or how to understand particular weather phenomena in greater depth. I do find myself switching off a little with the mor detailed near forcast information as the met office has many other wonderful presenters and forecasts covering those. Keep them coming as the weather and climate sure won't stop throwing up weird and wonderful events

[@suewright1299]

A brilliant Deep Dive Aidan. Very many thanks in, very interesting and certainly informative! A 36 hour Snow Bomb? I really don’t think so, nor anything like it. 😊 Oh my word, how on earth are the coping in Africa? In a drought for so long and now such high temperatures in the highest areas? I know you can’t rule such things out, but just imagine such temperatures here. However do they cope at night, I truly can’t imagine!! 😮 An really excellent DD thank you Aidan, also thanks to the Met Office! Take care everyone 😊

[@nicenac]

Out of interest Aidan I would like to ask you why do temperatures stay very cold under a blanket fog that linger all day like what you were talking about over Glasgow tomorrow where it will remain below freezing when compared to cloudy day? Is it to do with the sun energy being used to try and evaporate the fog therefore less energy to warm the ground below?

[@gbulmer]

Why do you not use 'heatmaps' to show temperatures across a region, eg at 5:30, rather than numerical 'spot' temperatures? Also, 'heatmaps' might work well for wind speed, rather than numerical values, eg at 2:15. Merry Christmas, and Happy and Peaceful New Year to Met Office staff. 🎅🎉 ☮

[@mollypenwhistle7918]

Thank, the voice of reality as usual 😊

[@Claymore5]

Thanks Aidan - my A Level Geography teacher would have loved the way you make the printed press look so silly!

[@voyageruk2002]

Love watching these deep dives, great job Aiden 🎉

[@NckBrktt]

Unfortunately some people think the clickbait outputs of the popular press are actual forecasts from the Met Office and complain when it turns out wrong.

[@contessa26-jim]

Excellent presentation as usual, do be careful not to make the deep dive an extension of the 10 day trend..😊

[@wildlifegardener-tracey6206]

My mother-in-law lost her roof along with five of her neighbours. Also lots of trees down in our local Warley woods some very damaging wind gusts indeed. This is in Oldbury, outskirts of Birmingham. I lost a small tree in my garden and some driving rain found its way in. Awful weekend.

[@cathrynolley814]

Thankyou Aidan for an excellent deep dive.

[@johnphillips5097]

Boom 💥 what a storm here in cardigan west wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. No rain please, the bus stop had its roof blown off 😱

[@elaineambrose7413]

Thank you Aidan , always a great coverage of the weather . Usually Christmas week turns mild then it turns colder from new year onward ❤ I saw the predicted weather for Christmas on a headline and yep I didn’t bother reading that load of poppycock 😂😂😂 Thanks once again always enjoy deep dive ❤❤❤

[@michaelkelleher714]

Thanks very much Aidan.

[@johnalbertcurtisjc]

Thanks Aidan really enjoyed watching very interesting 👍

[@edwardhart5466]

Excellent forecast thank you Aidan , very interesting re the heat wave in Africa.

[@grahamrussell3297]

Excellent forecast very detailed and informative for those of us who like meteorology. Enjoyed bringing us interesting facts about world weather events.

[@themasqueradingcow91]

I've lived in mid-40s low 50's in the Gulf. That was just manageable with AC at work and home. Can't imagine that for weeks on end with little to no access to AC

[@arabianrailfan7762]

Christmas Day is the 50th anniversary of Cyclone Tracy hitting northern Australia, particularly Dampier. Would it be possible to review the meteorology involved and, from that, why it was so deadly.

[@margaretmaddern5443]

Thank you Aiden

[@kevancook2699]

Excellent debunking and explanation. Thank you

[@Callumsweatherupdates]

Thanks Aidan very detailed as always. 😊

[@gordon7369]

Excellent spoken report on weather , I'm ex navy maritime officer , and remember 1963 chill , but it was normal then , why well people ate better food , more active , more healthy , and brought up in the temp thro 50s and 60s also the elderly were stronger in mind and body , I lived in nw Scotland then it was fun .

[@Fred-wy8zw]

Excellent as always !

[@alisdairmclean8605]

I'll switch the electric blanket on.

[@TheTibmeister]

Poor poor Africa what absolute hell it must be there 😢. And all most people care about is if we have snow on one day of the year. I also hope my son doesn’t get stuck on a train coming from London - Glasgow for seven hours like he did last year. Happy Christmas guys 🎉😂❤❤😻😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chrisjones-ys5zg]

excellent.. really excellent thankyou aidan.. may i ask please if you would incorporate an explanation of how the clockwise rotation of high pressure areas interact with the anti-clockwise rotations of the low pressure areas effect the locations on the ground between the two pressure systems? thankyou once again.. yes i'm a met fan.. xxc

[@keeksputels1851]

Only got phone signal again last night. Only had the radio and books for entertainment. The village lost power for 3 days, but Im offgrid so still had my electric. Most roads were blocked with trees for days. Was only 1 way in n out of my valley, snaking around the blockages. Luckily the direction it came it worked to my benefit, my land was quite sheltered from it. Without the red warning im sure alot more people wouldve died (South Ceredigion)

In Gaborone, the summers are long, hot, and partly cloudy and the winters are short, cool, dry, and clear. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 41°F to 89°F and is rarely below 34°F or above 97°F.

Hi Aidan do we all have to travel abroad to the Alps and Nordic countries to see snow cover in 30 to 50 years time as I heard snowfall will be very rare due to global warming by time we get 2070's?

I also don’t believe in anything on what the met office says. They get it wrong most of the time or take a while to give the right prediction when it comes to cold weather.

[@Mykst]

I didn't know about it until it was mentioned here. That's the beauty of these videos, learning some interesting stuff that is happening.

[@barrywyman7199]

why are we 5 mins into this before we get into a "forcast"

[@TheFlyingHaggis]

Not sure why the BBC feel the need to tell us about the African weather 🤷‍♂️

[@GrahamRead101]

Not sure what you mean. This isn’t the bbc

[@Mykst]

First, this is not the BBC and second, this is a *deep dive* type of video which goes into a lot more depth and can include world weather rather than just UK weather. It's very interesting stuff. If it's not for you, you can watch the regular, shorter UK forecasts instead.

[@lesleywurwal8805]

Way too wordy

[@Mykst]

That's the point of this video, it's called a "deep dive" - meaning an in depth analysis of weather both here and around the world if there are events worth mentioning.
