This has happened three times in succession!

@bbcweather -3.6°C a chilly start?
Why does the BBC continually play down colder weather especially when it's north of Watford?

@PaulBlight6 Could you explain what the hell a TUTT is please Paul?

[Weather Diary @xmetman]

@metoffice And still they look for a causal link between the cold front & heavy rain that's coming in across the UK this weekend & post tropical cyclone Gabrielle.

[Weather Diary @xmetman]

@PaulBlight6 I suppose it depends on how you classify "quite rare". https://t.co/xh5SO2QOYQ

[Weather Diary @xmetman]

@metoffice Well you're right about the sun climbing in the sky this morning, it always tends to do that for some reason.👍

@metoffice I can't see how they'll be a "touch of frost" tonight, when not one minimum temperature in the map is below zero.

[Weather Diary @xmetman]

@metoffice Nothing is ever unusual to the UKMO, it's just their way of letting you know of their superiority & monopoly in all things to do with the weather & climate of the UK.

Analysis
The equinox is not until the 22nd this year, so this isn't quite the last day of summer, but despite this it's a battle royal between cold & warm this afternoon, with the low starting to deepen more quickly.

There's no hanging around at the Ptarmigan restaurant (1097 M) this lunchtime, with temperatures close to 1°C.
Is that a flake of snow that I see on the camera lens?

Still rather mild in the south, but colder in the N Scotland & in the rain across N England and Wales with anomalies of -5°C in places.
Further afield, it's a very warm day across much of Germany.

@bbcweather No, I simply just don't have the time, the weather across the UK today is far too interesting for that!

[Weather Diary @xmetman]

@metoffice A very speculative YELLOW warning of strong winds.

I also think there's something wrong with their website because I find it impossible to see the details by following their link.🤔

It looks like the UKV, or whatever fancy model the Met Office are using in this animation, still hasn't got the faintest idea of what's going on in the southern North Sea at present.
