Mr Deakin's enthusiasm when explaining the Standing waves is quite refreshing to see and very well explained it was, also did anyone else notice how the "freezing level/melting level" mirrored the cross section of the mountains? Thanks Mr Deakin and The Met Office, keep up the great work.
Love these every week, but could we split the Deep Dive on Tuesday and the 10 Day Trend just afterwards. It would be great to have, say 3 days in between the two. Thanks for everything!
Thanks that's a fair point, we're always looking at our schedule and thinking of ways to improve we'll be introducing some new TH-cam formats in the coming months
@@metoffice Thanks for coming back to me. I think splitting them would mean more scope for seeing forward longer twice a week. But the quality of these TH-cam videos is outstanding. Incredibly clear, incredibly well presented, and thanks to all invloved in them.
I underwent an epiphany, 2:23 "the jet stream that fast-moving river of air". I was blind, now I can see!🎉 Thanks for shedding light on these technical terms.
Thank you Alex, your explanation & articulation of the physic's is great :) Being involved in the fresh produce industry, with growers the background information is really useful. Following the trends of rainfall & temperature, this year, the growing season has already started i.e. from the first week of February. There has been enough chill hours for plants to react to the mild weather and we have Prunus species i.e apricots, early plums, pluots, in bloom, crab apples, pears with bud movement, within my garden, camelias, rhododendrons, flowering on & off all winter. Bees out, a couple of butterflies at the weekend, bats flying around all in early February. A very cold spell in March / April would be devastating to wildlife, crops & garden life. The general growing season is at least 6 weeks longer from my observations. I think a update from the Met Office on climate trends and changes to seasons is due, to re-enforce the message the profound affects this will have for all of us & food production.
Loved it! Thanks for sharing your expertise and respecting us enough not to 'dumb it down'. Fascinating fluid dynamics from the Caroll paper. Yep - really loved it.
Thumbs up & thanks for this James Bond exciting forecast! I live on the Swedish west coast where the archipelago is visible very well on the map you use, and since our weather usually comes from your direction, I am eternally grateful for your wonderful, dramatic, well-explanatory weather forecasts, even for us amateurs. So a BIG THANK YOU!!!
So I’m really curious…. Does the early death of the polar vortex (by what seems like a couple months I.e. relatively material amount of time) have any impact on what you need to consider in long range forecasting into spring/summer?… if so would love more info/a deep dive on that..
Loved the explanation of the standing wave and the rippling effect and found it interesting how the freezing/melting level mirrors the hills if the line is flipped upwards😁👍 Great simple explanation on the polar vortex and SSW also👍👍
I’m an American Met-head. ❤Washington DC is the weather nerd capital of the US. Other than politics, weather is the favorite subject. I’m a fan of Kent Survival(with Andy) and enjoy seeing what is happening on your side of the pond.
Alex your explanations are so well communicated so someone withno tech knowledge gets a far understanding of what we should expect thanks. Mr D since your early days at News 24 weve shared your enthusiasm and gifts for broadcasting, so pleased you switched to the Met Office which seemed an important catalyst for all great features they provide today.
Great stuff. I love it when these deep dives go into the science, rather than any emphasis on a forecast. The excellent regular forecasts here on TH-cam are great for telling us the "what", but these deep dives are all about the "why" in my mind.
Ooh I do love a deep dive - fascinating info about the rain stripes over the hills and that little zone just above the freezing line, where the snow keeps moving and then interacts and drops more intensely - great explanation! Thank you! I’ve been following a blog from a US meteorologist trialling weekly PV forecast - it’s been interesting! And yes a ‘bananas’ PV this winter!! Thanks again!
Absolutely brilliant. Can't thank you and the team enough for these fascinating breakdowns. I know that we are all 'metricated' now...lol, but for some of us older ones, it would be really helpful if just occasionally, you could mention perhaps what these measurements are in 'old-money'. It's nice to know just how many 'inches' of rain we get (or are about to get), rather than some 'alien' measurement. Yes, I know we've been 'changed-over' sometime, but there are quite a number of O.A.P's watching who get a bit lost in it all. Thanks again for a great show, though. Cheers, Syd.
The Met Office forecasts are the best ones available. Your presenter/meteorologists are all highly professional. Thanks for all your good work. Can you let me know when the podcasts will return. These are excellent too.
Whoever come up with these deep dives needs recognition, they are excellent!! weather is something that effects us all so its great to know more than normal about it. Thank you to everyone involved!
Excellent presentation Alex so enjoying becoming better educated on our climate. This really helps with planning work. I still tap my old barometer every time I go through the front door though!!
That was a great Deep-Dive Alex. Exactly the kind of thing I tune-in for. The standing wave phenomenon is amazing! I wish I had rain shadows for my cycle in to work too! 😅
As a nerdy kind of fella I love these deep dives. I know these are UK centric but episodes of world weather would be great especially as the earth's atmosphere is getting warmer!
Still learning lots on these deep dives. Brilliant they are. Thanks for the explanation on polar vortex and when it starts and finishes . Also the explanation on rain shadows.
Thanks Alex! Still think it would be great to have a Deep Dive comparing models and their skill score, say, over the last 3 months. I think you do that analysis, and it would be really good to get an insight into that.
That was a great, information dense Deep Dive. Thanks especially for talking us through the figure from the paper, a bit of a wow moment from me when I realised what it was showing. If you get any excuse to talk through more of this kind of thing, it will be greatly appreciated by at least 1 person.
This is brilliant; great insight into how weather modelling is done and what factors are at play in this weeks weather. The paper into rainfall enhancement is a great read. Always been a weather enthusiast and because I’m at Exeter University, I’m glad to hear that the rain isn’t going to be hitting us as badly..!
Please keep diving deeper into published papers and small scale on what is happening and why. It's really interesting to learn about! Same with the polar vortex at the end. Also wondering if the squall line might produce any tornadoes embedded in any kinks?
Waow! That was some of the most informative content I’ve ever seen on youtube, and delivered with enthusiasm and passion... thank you Alex! I’d love to know what could be the implications of the early fading of the polar vortex - that looks very significant for the spring climate?
Joseph loves the Deep dive every week. He's delighted that it's you Alex this week. He said you don't rush through it and he always learns lots from you and Alex B😊
Always enjoyed these Alex. When I was young my dad was always commenting about the weather and he was also a keen aviation enthusiast living near the old Ipswich airport. So since then I was brought up with the weather......👍😁 now 61.....
Great, enjoyed this one Alex (and team)! When the weather gets 'boring' in the summer, maybe pick out a few more topics like that paper about the rain bunching!
Another fascinating insight into our weather and I loved the personal benefit of the standing waves meaning a dryer cycle to work tomorrow for Alex (hopefully).
I look forward to these every week and they never disappoint. Your enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring and the science insight makes our weather even more fascinating and intriguing. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Wow, that standing wave above the hills explanation was fascinating. There is an area just south of Stirling that always seems to be raining when I drive through, and I've often wondered if it's to do with the hills, but it must just be coincidence with all the other weather formations happening.
Thanks Alex! Very interesting re the standing waves and the paper on the 2015 rainfall in the Lake District. Really like the Deep Dives😊 (Also brought back lovely memories of cycling round the Exeter area some years ago!😁)
Landscape photography looking interesting in Cornwall for next week. Thank you for not sending blue sky. I look forward to the deep dive and always learn something new. Weather/ cloud sky watching comes as part of the photography hobby. Good stuff.Keep them coming please.
The standing wave formation and rainfall bunching research was fascinating. Could I ask whether you get an attendant Fohn effect as well? I suspect that the scale of this effect may be too small to bring noticeably warmer temperatures as the air descends.
One of the best deep dives in a long while, watch every one though!! How likely is it that effects from the SSW in early March could propagate down from the stratsophere much faster like in 2018 thereby giving us a greater chance of colder weather earlier in March this year?
I never watch Deep Dive without learning something new - and again today! I was particularly looking for a weather window for moving the boat as I'm on a wild mooring (long lines and a gangplank) so it's a bit high maintenance 😞.
Longstanding fan of Simon Lee, but didn't fully understand that particular post so thank you for elucidating! Likewise the 'snow falls slower than rain' was a an 'aha' moment (no tittering please). Great deep dive, thanks as ever.
Thanks for these Deep Dives, I'm really enjoying how much I can learn about meteorology from these videos. The explanations are clear and interesting. May be a dumb question; During summer, how far forward can pollen counts be forecast? Thanks to everyone who puts this channel together.
Hello Alex. Nothing beats a deep dive presented by yourself - your knowledge and enthusiasm is there for all to see. Such great presentation skills. I’m always keen to learn more and, for me, the deep dive is the perfect vehicle for more complex tutorials. The explainers you have on the ‘Learn about’ channel are great, but seeing your tutor explains things makes for the best process (IMHO). Many thanks - Paul
Thanks as always. Yesterday watched a NIDIS briefing where they said the Great Lakes in US have hardly any ice thus far, and Midwest is lacking in snowfall. Perhaps that doesn't affect the UK much but it seems part of the same phenomenon with the milder wx this year. Mind you I am not complaining.
Very interesting especially the explanation of the standing wave with the case study of the Lake District. Could you some time explain Rossby waves? I have never got to grips with them but I expect you can give a clear explanation.
What does an earlier weakening of the polar vortex mean for the uk weather? possibly a drier spring or a colder spring? and it would be nice to have an update on El Niño and what we could expect for spring/summer 2024 and whether it will be more likely dry, wet, warmer, colder etc? Love your weekly videos very interesting! thanks, keep up the good work.
Hi, I first watched these programmes a few weeks ago and there was talk of cold weather and snow for the south and Wales at the beginning of March. Is this still the case as I’m hoping to go to Pembrokeshire then to open up our caravan. Thank you, as I find the reasons behind our weather so fascinating.
Speed of water falling or snow / rain is related to air resistance not Mass or weight. All thing fall at 9.8MPS PS if there was no air to resist it. Great Video ! More please.
It would be interesting to see how much,or more to the point how little sunshine we have been getting during the last six months of wind and rain compared to the average. Are there any other parts of the globe that get weather as depressing as ours?
When you say some areas like Norfolk have had more than 200% of the February average rainfall, is that for that area average or against the overall UK average? Thanks for the deep dives
Mr Deakin's enthusiasm when explaining the Standing waves is quite refreshing to see and very well explained it was, also did anyone else notice how the "freezing level/melting level" mirrored the cross section of the mountains?
Thanks Mr Deakin and The Met Office, keep up the great work.

@@marksworld2997 what?
"inversely proportionate in terms of altitude" maybe Monsieur Deakin? :- )

Thanks for a well presented and very informative video.
I'm in Barcelona, a particularly dry place, the Jetstream is very important
@@metoffice will It Be nice weather for much and high pressure and mild
I underwent an epiphany, 2:23 "the jet stream that fast-moving river of air". I was blind, now I can see!🎉 Thanks for shedding light on these technical terms.
Fantastic deep dive as always. Just love how enthusiastic Alex is. Must admit he’s definitely my favourite weatherman. Thanx Alex.
This should be part of the National Curriculum.

P.S. to my last - the explanation about your colleague’s paper concerning the rain in The Lakes was a perfect example. More of this please!
Thanks
You finally put timestamps on! Hurrah! You guys are the best, thank you so much :D.
Rainfall bunching - fascinating! Thanks for the explanation - very clear.
So I’m really curious…. Does the early death of the polar vortex (by what seems like a couple months I.e. relatively material amount of time) have any impact on what you need to consider in long range forecasting into spring/summer?… if so would love more info/a deep dive on that..
This was my main question too.
What a great deep dive this week. The ‘extra deep’ stuff is most welcome. Thanks to you and the team

Me too 😅
We never get snow we haven't had winter I not a fan off summer heet 😢
@@heatherjoy479 Not hot summer in U K 👍✌️ 😄🌈
SO much to have been covered in 25 mins! Enthusiastic dive!😊
Great Deep Dive Alex, Certainly a lot going on at the moment! The snow rain graph was explained impeccably. Well done!
