Why is it so fekin' cold!
Discussion
Any of you weather chaps out there know the answer. It's almost the second week of March and blue skies, which is lovely, but oh so bitter.
Took the family up to the South Bank this afternoon and everyone is still dressed up as if they are in Moscow, and I'm not bloody surprised. Too cold for me and the missus, so it was wine and food at Pizza Express and a quick 10 mins looking at the street performers before rushing back to the central heating. I am dreading those bills.
Was up in town last Thurs and the walk back from the pub was sooooo cold. Turns out it was -4C. It's warmer up in Scotland at the mo'. What is going on?

My guess is that solar activity is very low, which means we are not getting as much heat from the sun as we normally would. Therefore, the planet is colder. The bad news is that I don't think it's going to improve in the near future. As I understand the data (which is an "educated" guess) - we are in for a few years of colder weather.. AS in, heavy snow over winter and freezing, with milder summers..
The regular weather systems have been a lot further South. Portugal has been getting "our" regular Winter weather, and it has rained almost daily since September.
We un turn have been getting the Scandinavian weather - the colder, more Northerly Atlantic fronts, with the occasional continental high pressure (clear skied, but icy cold) zone puling air in from Siberia.
Why that's happening, I don't know, although I would assume the jetstream has headed South, as it does a lot to guide the storms.

didn't they say at the time of the earthquake that caused the Boxing day tsumani that the earth moved on its axis moving everything a little bit further north, it wasn't the jetstream that slipped, it was us, and thats was why we were getting such wet summers?We un turn have been getting the Scandinavian weather - the colder, more Northerly Atlantic fronts, with the occasional continental high pressure (clear skied, but icy cold) zone puling air in from Siberia.

I went out on my 125 bike and I was so cold. I was litterly frozen to the bone and it took about five hours at home to warm up again. Clear blue sky and no heat from the sun to speak of when you'd think it would at least be in double figures.
