Good old Daily Express.
Cant even get the weather correct for tomorrow but winter is sorted..
BRITAIN is facing the most savage winter in more than 50 years with months of heavy snowfall and bitter Arctic winds set to bring the country to a total standstill.

The Express are like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Although to be fair, there is a trend to El Nino this year and that did last happen 5 years ago and look at that winter.

God don't let my boss see this. She believes anything and will start suggesting we keep holiday spare in case we get snowed in at home....
On the plus side, soon as a flake of snow falls she is first off home, so we shortly follow

Not just the Express, that other bastion of quality reportage, The Mail says the same.

The core of that article is correct, and as is stated righrt at the end, a strong El Nino is just one factor that can contribute towards a cold winter for the UK.

I know Gav, he does some very good and accessible forecast videos. I'd not seen this one though. The solar cycle data is fascinating, and the correlation to the late 1880s is striking.
This video starts off a bit slow but look around the 12min mark through to finish.Brrrrrrrrrrr.

Interesting - reflects a lot of the data being discussed in Met circles about the effect of the El Nino on the UK Winter.

It's strange as I've not really been thinking about what this winter could bring as the idea of a strong El Nino coupled with a +PDO and +QBO doesn't tend to favour much cold weather for us.
However that record cold pool in the Atlantic is interesting in that it could aid in slowing down the jet and even have it heading south of us, which could open us up to a below average winter. Also talk of a Modoki El Nino which could aid Blocking to our North, but I think anyone trying to forecast Winter this year might as well put their finger in the air as there are so many conflicting signals.

Any update on potential conditions this winter, meteorology enthusiasts? I'm sure it's still too early to have anything other than some very basic indicators, but I keep hearing people talking about an early winter, or a particularly cold winter this year, el nino causing havoc, blah blah blah. What do our amateur experts reckon?

Bewick Swans have arrived from Siberia already, the earliest ever, BBC saying this is an indicator for an exceptionally harsh winter.
Oh, and the Express have already stated "Coldest winter for a GENERATION"

There are a lot of berries on a holly tree near my house. It's going to be a long cold winter.
Back in the real world - too early to say.
