Dry. 12C/4C
13mph WNW'ly.
Definitely feels chilly.
-
I notice today another little glich in the graphics. Look carefully at the sunshine/cloud and then look at the 'puddles' of rain representing today's showers. Interestingly many showers are in sunshine - with no cloud...
Now I know we've all experienced blue sky and rain - but surely not on this scale?!
-
21C/15C
24mph Sw'ly - blustery.
Sunshine and infrequent smirry rain showers.
-
14/6C
20mph SSW.
Feels cool - but sunny.
-
14C, DP 6C
22 - 39mps SW'ly - blustery but very sunny. Occasional spots of rain - from fast moving clouds, amounting to nothing though.
-
Ooooh - I thought that two; it can't be hard just to show a rainband progressing smoothly and steadily rather than in steps like it was yesterday...
-
Thanks Rich - enjoyed reading that. Even for a 'serious' newspaper to discuss such a complex issue that would basically entail taking a Masters Degree over 4 years full time, to understand - it was a good effort!
-
NIce to see you posting Mondy :-)
Typical - just got in fromt he pub and there's the possible start of a storm. Too much light pollution in the middle of town and a bit cloudy anyway. Oh well.
-
All those photos from that site are amazing.

In the last hour the view of the lgobe from the north on the sticky at the top has turned from green to orangey/brown once again...

BY JEREMY PLESTER
It is early to make predictions on the rest of autumn but it seems that once this weekend is over we will head into an extended period of calm and settled weather.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Where's Philip? This Jeremy guy is starting to annoy me - amateur forecast outlook attached to the end of the piece - Philip never did that. And where does he get his info from? Pouring down more like... Or does he live in the South East?!?
-
Just caught up on this one - it's certainly a biggy. Wonder what the duration is likely to be...
-
Brilliant - thanks for keeping us up to date Sue. Been thinking about you and the fella and the new little fella!

An encouraging development with Darren Bett at 20:57 on News 24. For the first time the places labelled with temperatures have changed.
It's usually Belfast, Central Lowlands, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Manchester, Norwich, Southampton, Cardiff, Plymouth etc.
He showed Sheffield, Lewes and Portsmouth for a change.
Very refreshing. Well done Darren.
-
Saw the fog map last night - and it is as good as could be imagined. But since there's been a couple of weeks of various pediods of fog in the NE - and two days in particular here that were 100m visibility; why has it taken until now?!
-
Missed (no pun intended - honest) that Andy. have they got their act together?
Another recent issue is the discrepency of forecasters using the package. Some choose to use certain features - others don't. Surely a corporate BBC Weather presentation would use a set routine set within certain parameters - for instance the severe thunderstorms on News24 only yesterday weren't showing the flashing symbol - whilst on the BBC1 forecast the presenter did use them over the same puddles of blue and green...
-
I suppose it's just a matter of time until the first front hitting cold air - or like last year, cold air digging in behind a rain band, reveals how the package is going to illustrate sleet and snow.
I think we'll need a new thread then for everyone's complaints - because on the BBC Weather Centre's current track record it's going to be at best dissapointing and more likely very very poor if not non-existent.
-
If a photo or picture is posted on a web page, then it has to be the intention of the poster that they don't mind others downloading it. Otherwise they would not share it.
-
So it's taken them 6 months to pop a lightning symbol onto the graphics.
But then another problem, where is the symbol/graphic for mist and fog? Such an important feature in terms of travelling by road and air - with safety very much a consideration. But what do we get from the BBC new graphics package? Nothing. Appalling.
How hard can it be to come up with a grey/white fuzziness that moves around the map? Perhaps like lightning they'll have it sorted in 6 months time...
-
Ahhhhh - brilliant!
Nothing more to say!
-
It's back!
"Unfortunately the site fell over just hours after I went on Holiday for 5 days! I've just got back and put in a temporary fix to get things going for the weekend but the buoy data is going to be missing until I have a bit more time to investigate what's going on. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope to have everything back to normal shortly".
-
Beer was what stopped me too. And far too much of it!
Still activity today - KP5 or 6 consistently.
Out at a party in Midlothian tonight - so less light pollution; will keep an eye out and undoubtedly get a crowd gathered in the back garden!
-
The site seems to have been down since Monday 14.00.
Anyone know what's going on?
-
Isolated major storm conditions may be possible on 2 September due to the effects of the full halo CME from the long duration C2 x-ray event that occurred today (31 Aug).
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The readings on the KP index graph are increasing steadily this morning - up to KP5 -now in the red zone. Need to keep an eye on this. ANd it's sunny and not too cloudy so far....

Roger - your discussion on energy patterns and mapping makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing that - I have never really considered the global nature of systems - that are effectively 'peaks' of energy travelling round the globe west to east.
However, for the UK the critical consideration is the latitude of a system - and the positioning of the jet. The wobbles in the jet that make it move north or south mean either mild dreary weather, ot the possibility of polar incursions. Does your experimental modelling look at this?
