The met office really should get wider recognition for their RUclips content - it’s really well done, full of non patronising content, and of course interesting.
I like that we have different personalities and individual presenting ways of the Met Office meteorologists. Thank you Honor for your jolly, personable, energetic, informative presentation, like your colleagues you also clearly have a passion for meteorology. Well done.
Trust me, as a glider pilot , we most definitely do get rotor under standing wave systems in the UK . These rotors can be very turbulent even at low airspeeds and almost always require a tightening of the seat straps to stop your head from hitting the canopy 😂 . I’m watching this at 13:00 on Wednesday afternoon in the north of England and there is a very active wave system established over the area. Great video, thank you 👍👍🙏🏻
Amazing presentation Honor, you're a natural! Thank you for the Lee waves information that was really interesting! Best wishes to you and everyone at the Met office team this Christmas!
Excellent presentation Honor. Thoroughly enjoyed the video - very informative and easily understood- all with such a smiley face, touch of humour but very professional. Thank you ☺️
A fantastic presentation Honor, entertaining in its entirety. More wind on the way for my neck of the woods. I cycled along the promenade of my local NW-facing coast in NW England and approx 1 in 3 houses had roof damage from Storm Darragh; we definitely don't need more wind.
Very many thanks Honor for an excellent Deep Dive! Very informative with the mountains and how the Lee waves form, pressures also. I’d love to see a Lenticular cloud, maybe one day. All extremely interesting. Thanks again, the Met Office too. Take care folks
Hi regarding Lee waves, the glider pilots in the Vale of York encounter mountain waves several times a year, we love it as the condition enable us to stay airborne for hours and climb to great heights, some over 20000 feet, lenticuler cloud often forms at variable heights and in multi layers.
Great video Honor, I really enjoyed that. Merry Christmas to all at the Met Office. I'm no fan of cold and snow so a mild, green Xmas is fine by me though hope its not wet like it often has been in recent years.
Very clear presentation Question ? . Sometimes we get what i call “Street Clouds” when cumulus clouds form long lines which are parallel to each other, with clear blue sky between the rows. This i have observed mostly occurs in summer. Would love to hear an explanation how this occurs. Thanks again for your presentation
I miss the winter cold that we used to have in late autumn, bright sunny frosty days, it’s only fourteen years since we had a blisteringly cold spell before Christmas and another one a month or two afterwards. The winters of my youth, fifties to even the naughties we had fairly predictable cold weather at sometime during the winter, now we can easily predict weather in both summer and winter, our weather will be grey.
I must admit when I see on these graphs showing average temperatures for this time of year I remember back in the mid 70 - mid 80’s we used to have snow where I live from around the 2nd week of December through till early to mid February. As I can still remember going to primary school in my wellingtons with the snow coming in over the tops of them, and when I got home we used to go sledding after school as well as Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. So seeing average temps around 7c I still find it sad and strange, especially when kids can’t experience the snow we had when I was young. However with climate change it is just going to get warmer and wetter throughout the winter months 😢
I remember these times too. I can't remember the last time I saw an icicle in recent times. As a child, in winter, there used to be icicles hanging from the gutters on my parents bungalow and I used to jump up and try and snap them off. Happy days. 😊
The last time I remember seeing a real snowstorm was back in November 2008 when we had about 8” of snow (near me that is near Manchester) in about 4 hours. Because I went to my local St. John Ambulance Division (I was the unit leader) and when I got there at 6pm it was cold and cloudy, but when I left at 9pm there was 4”-5” of snow already. There were cars abandoned on roads and some had mounted onto pavements too. Happy days 😊
At the start of the presentation with the 4 "maps", the lauout needs to have the timeline moved from the bottom of the screen to the side of the screen so that the presenter can "move the timeline" without having to stand in front of the screen & thereby obscuring some of the "maps"
Another excellent presentation, Honor. Have you thought of providing lessons on how to use the Display Screen to your fellow presenters? You seem to be the only one fully competent in its use.
That was fabulous -Honor many thanks! Can you explain the helm wind over Cross Fell? That produces lenticular development ( I think). But develops with a NE wind….. so how does that work? Paul Thompson
There will be a lot of folk trying to get on and off Scottish islands this weekend so the storm force gusts currently predicted are going to leave a lot of people stuck. I hope the met office issue proper warnings in advance instead of there normal 'its just the islands, we'll not bother' approach.
Having cycled south from Birmingham city centre this evening heading home, I can confirm it's windy! Strong headwind and, I believe, a new wind power generation record set between 6.30pm and 7pm tonight.
Honor - you said you would take questions for Friday. I have asked the Met Office at least three times and the question keeps being ignored. It is an important one.. Is a causal reason we no longer get "Last for four; it will last for eight" High Pressure systems over Scandinavia that traditionally used to give us settled often sunny cold weather in winter due to a more established Jet Stream.? It would also tie in with a much more positive NAO in recent years.?
An interesting presentation. You mentioned wind chill quite a few times how does one calculate that? Is it an approximation or is it a logarithmic function relative to the temperature relative to wind speed /strength?
Thanks for the Deep Dive, as ever. One question I have for you, which I tried to raise up in last week's Weather Studio Live, is about how the rain radars work when precipitation is light. I am aware of examples when the radars indicate rain but it is actually dry at the surface - i.e. the rain evaporates before it reaches ground level. During the recent gloomy high pressures I have experienced a number of occasions when the opposite happens and it has been drizzling a decent amount but the rain radar does not indicate any rain (and the cloud base is not down very close to the surface, so it feels different to those occasions when you feel the fine rain is because you are effectively in cloud). How difficult is it for radars to pick up this fine rain/drizzle and what factors are used to forecast drizzle/mizzle? Many thanks - Paul
Slightly late this week? Horrible weather here in Ireland very wet Actually this December is very similar to December 1988 I wonder i can find the stats As i did for my school project. On that very mild winter 88/89 Mind you the summer of 89 was brilliant.. Take care

100% agree. Its the only weather service I trust.
Such a natural presenter and a refreshing change of face for the deep dive. Thank you Honor.
I like that we have different personalities and individual presenting ways of the Met Office meteorologists. Thank you Honor for your jolly, personable, energetic, informative presentation, like your colleagues you also clearly have a passion for meteorology. Well done.

Great presentation Honor. Thank you.
Top job Honor and great art work
Wonderful,so natrual informative,love when Tuesdays come around and you are presenting the deep dive.
You really should have your own t v show.❤
She is stunning. And a great presenter.
Thanks 👍
Excellent presentation Honor, well done !
Great presentation again Honor, you need to do more deep dives!
Great job! Welcome to the community.
A fantastic addition to a fantastic team !
Another great Deep Dive, Honor, thank you. Hope that you and your colleagues have a great Christmas and manage to get some time off.
in depth clear precise information from an absolutely delightful presenter happy friendly gorgeous smile just love watching honor
Well explained and I did understand thank you. Best wishes for Christmas. Philip
Well done.
Nice and clear explanations, Honor! You drive that display like a champ. I look forward to more such explanations - if not necessarily the weather!
A fantastic presentation Honor, entertaining in its entirety. More wind on the way for my neck of the woods. I cycled along the promenade of my local NW-facing coast in NW England and approx 1 in 3 houses had roof damage from Storm Darragh; we definitely don't need more wind.
I'm on the coast here in Barrow-in-Furness South Cumbria
Really well done.
I enjoyed the presentation on Lee waves. Well done and thank you.
I learned a lot from this deep dive - Top Marks 🙂
Wonderful to see you honor, wow Scotland is getting a soaking, it would be nice to see the sunshine, sick of all this gloom.
Yes, Honor absolutely smashed it. You are incredible! 🫶
What a charming young lady! Much enjoyed your presentation.
Very many thanks Honor for an excellent Deep Dive! Very informative with the mountains and how the Lee waves form, pressures also. I’d love to see a Lenticular cloud, maybe one day. All extremely interesting. Thanks again, the Met Office too.

Landing at Funchal in Madeira is quie an experience - even in a jet!
Thanks Honor - fascinating stuff as always!
Great video Honor, I really enjoyed that. Merry Christmas to all at the Met Office. I'm no fan of cold and snow so a mild, green Xmas is fine by me though hope its not wet like it often has been in recent years.
Great viewing
Thanks. Very much a natural presenter, great job!
Great job
You're a 'natural'; my dear Ms. Criswick....
Thank you honor
Well done Honor.
Very clear presentation

Thanks again for your presentation
Congratulations! You made it to the end. 😂 🎉🏆
Brilliant, I want dry sunny day on Boxing day. I want to work on one of my classic cars on Boxing day. Great stuff Honor.
You are really enjoying it
Pleasure to see you great job🎉🎉

Thank you for explaining things like this interesting
Based on what you said, the last snowameter should be on "Better luck next year" at least for me in the south...
Thanks very much.. out of interest looking at your hands around 28:00 with the pressure variation, were you ever a pianist..?!
T shirt weather & bbqs for xmas day then. 😢
Thank you Honor Deep Dive Weather Yellow Warning and Cloudy and Rainfall
My weather crush ❤️
32:40 for the likelihood of a white Christmas
Another excellent presentation, Honor. Have you thought of providing lessons on how to use the Display Screen to your fellow presenters? You seem to be the only one fully competent in its use.
I think it ll be 18 Celsius on christmas day in the southeast of england no joke.🥵🎄☃️🥶❄️🎁🎅👍
Great presenting honor
I’m 61years of age and never witnessed a white Christmas in my life time ! Living in Derbyshire too ! I’m talking about snow falling and settling !
Do the same for the likelihood of a prolonged very warm to very hot spell. Call it the Heatometer!
On yesterday's deep dive reference was made to the Irish Straits, where is that exactly? Great programme and so informative.
The Wind Warning chart would be improved I think if the direction of the wind was displayed
That was fabulous -Honor many thanks! Can you explain the helm wind over Cross Fell? That produces lenticular development ( I think). But develops with a NE wind….. so how does that work? Paul Thompson

You are my favourite Deep Diver 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
First
Last
My everything
The snowometer, it's the future
Add a rain one, wind one, temp one etc, etc
You need to patent it 👍

Is there a wind speed most likely to cause Lee waves? Can it be too fast or too slow for it not to occur?
Thanks for the Deep Dive, as ever. One question I have for you, which I tried to raise up in last week's Weather Studio Live, is about how the rain radars work when precipitation is light.

It's noticeable that most of the comments applauding Honor, from what I can make out from their usernames, are from men.
I wonder why 🤔
are lee waves similar or the same as gravity waves? what's the difference?
She's adorable
Long live the “Snowometer”😀👍
Send me a dry day xmas wanna go out early for a cycle
Are you sure that’s not a UFO? Excellent explanation and drawing skills 😃thanks
Lee waves - wind speed / harmonics..?
Slightly late this week?
Horrible weather here in Ireland very wet
Actually this December is very similar to December 1988
I wonder i can find the stats
As i did for my school project.
On that very mild winter 88/89
Mind you the summer of 89 was brilliant..
Take care
Honor, do you all take it in turns to take the big tv home on a weekend?
All the best for 2025
