Sorry to ask but what do terms like 00z mean?

 

The GFS American weather model runs at 4 intervals per day roughly every 6 hours 

00z is midnight then 06z is 6am, 12z is 12pm and 18z is 6pm

So the next update will be the 06z which will be online at around 12pm today

Would agree Big Dog has done well, but lets not understate the improvement in forecasts since the Avocado got involved.

I only twigged on to this earlier in the week. Thought it was more scientific than that and z was a fancy weather unit of measurement like hz or something

The z is for Zulu Time, which is UTC (or GMT) not BST and certainly not OMD.

Playing a role no doubt, but if the Avocado isn’t holding up the measure, how would we know the reading in the gherkin jar?

I have to say you guys on here have just cheered me up on a crappy day. Keep studying those charts folks - as long as you keep giving optimistic news that is!

A fair point, no doubt.

Look at the radar map on Long Forecast......... shows most of the rain/showers missing the site by a fair distance.

I would take little notice anyway this far out as showers will move course an hour before they arrive anyway.
