One to replace the previous pinned post - there’s a whole load of weather on this page so feel free to stick around if you want to with a sprinkle of aurora whenever that peps up. I hope this picture of me and a goose from this morning is suitable for now!

Absolutely stunning autumnal colours in Reading this afternoon

Not a CLOUD in the sky - it’s glorious

Sunshine my beloved

[MetJam @MetJam_]

A main standout is this morning, which looks to be very close to an occluded front - note the cooler and drier air aloft whilst lower levels are warmer and moister. The Met Office FAX 00z analysis reflects this as well.

[MetJam @MetJam_]

Looking through Herstmonceux ascents, a pesky, subsided inversion layer around 700-925 hPa is present throughout almost every ascent in November, trapping cloud underneath for what has felt like an eternity in these conditions.

A decaying occluded front moves south tomorrow - SUNSHINE will be back (for most) 😁

Last night was the coldest night of autumn so far with temperatures reaching -6.2 Celsius in Tyndrum, Scotland 🥶

[Reading Uni Weather @RUWeather_]

6 hours of sunshine for 1st-10th November this year; it's the fifth dullest start to November on record for here in Reading.
The 1991-2020 average (although repositioning of the sunshine recorder may skew this a little) is 24.3 hours. 2024 holds the record with zero hours.

@SkiesOfTheUK I await the 25 different apps that'll be made across the board by Christmas

@MetRyan96 @Met4CastUK 3 is pushing it

[MetJam @MetJam_]

Fog and mist and cloud to rain and more cloud - I can only apologise if I’m not too active on here, arguably the worst time of year for weather, uni etc. It seems things may get slightly sunnier towards the end of the working week - hopefully more to talk about 😁

4 quick pics from today

METAR only reported <50 m visibility rather than a specific figure, considering the number of hours it bottoms out at this, it’s not implausible that visibility may have dropped to 10 metres in 1991.

[MetJam @MetJam_]

A scan of the MIDAS archive suggests that Heathrow's 10-metre visibility reading at 23 UTC last night is the lowest since automatic sensors took hold and the lowest literal reading of 10 m since Dec 1962; 15th Dec 1991 had <50 m visibility. QC'ing these is a bit of a nightmare!

4 hours of sunshine at Heathrow since the month began - abysmal anticyclonic gloom at play.

[Nick's Weather Eye @NickJF75]

Never been in fog this thick in my entire life, working until midnight at Heathrow, but had to abandon driving home to Caterham, as it felt dangerous even just driving down the quiet drive to main road, this was walking to the hotel we booked next to our offices, my colleague appearing through the fog asking ‘are you still there?’ 😆
