Thermals on stand-by!
That link reads like the front page of the Daily Express, Baldric! I took out travel insurance months ago for my soon-to-be longhaul holiday. Thank goodness I paid a few quid extra for volcanic ash flight disruption!
what have we done to deserve this? the sooner we leave the eu the better. no, I have not got the wrong thread. I am sure the eu is to blame, somewhere along the line.
Or immigration/Religion/Islam or hand wringing lefties lady-janine from what I read of the mass hysteria spread by some worry warts on the net :)

Does this mean an eruption is imminent? Have they got a rough timescale of when this is going to happen???

I think we have to blame Gordon Brown for this one, Henrietta.
Or the Thatcher legacy!
Gordon "2 jags Brown" what a funny character.

Remember when he went for that guy that egged him? Now that was funny!
Sorry that was Prescott not Gb
The BBC forecasters have been going on about us being in a "pocket of cold air", lately, which was allowed to come this far south by a large meander in the jet stream. Any dust that get to that height will then cut at right angles across most of the transatlantic tracks, potentially causing them to be diverted all over the place.

It has also been said that the jetstream is meandering more than it ised to because the jet is not flowing as strongly as it used to. This, in turn is because of a reduced temperature differential between the mid and high latitude air masses, due to the arctic warming faster than other parts of the planet.

If high altitude dust, catching the sun, transfers heat to the air at that level, the jet could weaken further. Our weather could become very unpredictable - Siberian air leaking in again, for instance.

Jet strength and direction have been less predictable recently and as you point out there is a collection of factors making up the "perfect storm" scenario for the winter.... not clever

Heathfield it read like a Daily Hail headline because Poweel the clown prince of weather forecasting writesmost of the daily hails sensationalist stories
This thread is over 12 hours old and no one's mentioned Baroabunga-Baroabunga parties yet. Shame. It was an open goal… :o)
