#aurora sightings up and down the UK this evening..
Latest on El Nino...
A bit more 'oomf' just starting to show up in low pressure developments taking place in the northern N Atlantic heading into next week One to watch in the weeks ahead certainly as the El Nino teleconnection should start to show its hand (a +NAO/increased chance of mild/wet/windy)
Isaias becomes the first N Atlantic hurricane π of this season heading towards the Gulf Coast...forecast to strengthen to near major hurricane status ahead of landfall Meanwhile hurricane Simon forecast to become a major storm before reaching Mexico in the E N Pacific
Just 18% full now at Wimbleball..one of our larger reservoirs here in the SW
1st taste of winter
Snow on Cairngorm
Yesterday afternoon 22C mid afternoon at Heathrow, today 12C..coldest it's been for many months π₯Άπ‘ ..and a sure sign that Autumn is here... cold advection taking place from the N with temperatures lowering during the day...
Tropical storm Isaias has formed Set to become 1st hurricane π of the N Atlantic season As often the case when these storms develop, it creates a bit of uncertainty as to how weather patterns will evolve downstream later this weekend/early next week in the N Atlantic/NW Europe
One to π
One to keep eye on..
Much needed, though locally heavy rain S UK next 24hrs Then a colder NW airstream for Weds/Thursday...until now the S of the UK has reached atleast 20C as a max every day since June 11th
A mixed week of weather ahead And turning cooler..
Take care tomorrow morning Some fog expected...
Reservoir levels typically reach their annual minimum next few weeks here in the SW This year?.. we wait to see
No dipped to 19.9 end of night so just short
Incredible to see temperatures still up at 21C 5.20am 30th September..
Exceptionally mild tonight..21C in places right now
Today's high atleast 28.1C...remarkable for late September
