That’s a good thing about the cooler months, the stars are often more visible. A very bright planet is rising in the eastern sky every evening, is it Jupiter? Was so bright last night
It is Jupiter. In Aries at the moment I think.

Always nice to see Orion creep above the horizon in the east.
Seems like no time ago Sirius was setting in the evening. Saw it again late last night.

26C here this afternoon, another nearby station has hit 28C. I've had to check the calendar a couple of times.

Boxing Day 2014 was a good one in Central/Northern England. Didn't even consider the possibility until I saw a still from the BBC evening forecast (on this forum as it happened). An hour or two later and it was snowing - a nice late Christmas present.

So much for that. 15C this afternoon and rain. It's been snowing in some parts of Slovakia below 700m.
It should be 25C again on Thursday but next week is looking much colder.

Never-ending summer here, 26C today. Low twenties for the next three days before temperatures go up again (maybe 28C on Monday).
September was the warmest on record almost everywhere in Slovakia. Locally the mean was a gnat's hair short of the magic 20C (19.9C) - I reckon somewhere close must have reached it.

Category 4 already. We're not looking at a repeat of Irma but Bermuda or the US East Coast could be in trouble.

Another poor late summer’s day here, overcast and just 16°C, with occasional light drizzle.
Even here it's only 19C, though we might hit the big two-0 at some point this afternoon. That end-of-days storm on Monday night heralded a shift but it should be a pleasant mid-to-high twenties from tomorrow onwards.

Really no difference between a strong Cat 3 and weak Cat 4 tbh
True but without the EWRC we'd probably be looking at strong Cat 4, maybe even Cat 5. This is what happened with Charley and Michael, which were able to strengthen all the way up to landfall.

Looks like an EWRC is starting so luckily it may have already peaked.

For a storm of that size 125mph seems a bit low for a central pressure of 941mb. I suspect the winds are still playing catch-up. Could be wrong of course.

Well that was something else. The August 2017 MCS/derecho was incredible but I think this might top it. To think I was moaning about the lack of storms this year.
I took too much footage to show all of it here. I'll just leave you with these:

Explosion thunder about 45 seconds in. There are some seriously close strikes right now.

This is actually insane now.

Wow, it's not disappointing!

Heat just about hanging on here with a high of 30C (35C in Central Slovakia) but the wind is starting to pick up and there are some beefy looking blobs on the radar approaching from the south.
It should be back into the high twenties by Friday but that's surely the last of the proper heat this year.

26C at midnight.
Fan on, quaffing red wine.

I’ve always found the upland areas of the UK to be quite bleak.
They certainly have a unique combination of grandeur and foreboding - the old-fashioned sense of sublime as described by Wordsworth. It's not something I've experienced anywhere else. The Swiss Alps for example are obviously beautiful (and can be dangerous for climbers) but they don't invoke the same feeling of sublime; I just think of yodelling and cuckoo clocks instead.
Back to the weather, it's certainly not fresh here at the moment. 32C with a dew point of 21C. 30C indoors. It's barely dipped below 20C at night over the past week (one nearby station has stayed above 20C since last Saturday morning - the run will probably last until Monday night).

High of 34.5C with azure blue skies. Toasty.

Some of it actually makes me laugh at times.
When people start complaining about a bit of cloud drifting across the sky as though it's the end of the world I often think of The Fast Show Nimbo Cumulos sketch, where the news channel carries out a "Special Report" and films locals stood outside gawping at the sky.
I think it's on youtube if you haven't seen it.

34C at the airport. Some local stations are pushing 36C. Not too shabby for late August.

Weird weather here today. The temperature jumped from low teens to 23C in the space of a couple of hours, all under lead grey skies and accompanied by strong winds. It's not supposed to go below 18C tonight.
Meanwhile 28C in neighbouring Hungary, 30C in Belgrade and 34C in parts of Italy.
