    I don't think its supposed to be anywhere near as powerful is it and not as far south tonight? Will keep an eye out but can't see it being like last night again but here's hoping!  Was a truly magical experience and also my 3rd child smiled for the first time yesterday too (2 months old) so it was quite the day!!

    First time in my 45 years I've seen them, always wanted to. The strangest thing is I'm not religious but today I looked up to the sky and asked for a sign from my father who passed in January....i have recently bought an urn with northern lights on as he loved them when he saw them and within 2 hours I was witnessing northen lights and didn't even know they were due. Very odd. Anyway some pics...

    And I saw a shooting star on top - presumably same one as above! Incredible stuff.

    8 weekends to go and the days get shorter again, meanwhile, relentless cloud and cool carp once again today, just once this year has it felt warm and even then it was windy.  Heating on again, even wearing a hat earlier. Yawn. Yes April can be cold as can any month but enough is enough, this is relentless sheet.  Don't worry though in 12 weeks it will flip to 42c in the shade for 3 days before back to semi-perma autumn grey lids begin again.

    Another grey lid day to add to the previous 1000's, cold, windy and occasionally spitting with rain, what a steaming pile our climate has become.  Barring a couple of storms, this year is the most boring yet too and there is quite some competition there in recent times.  SAD from Oct - May these days and seems to be extended each year.

    Sunlight, warmth and stormy breakdowns soon please weather Gods before I go insane.

    Interesting that the London area , parts of central and eastern areas only left out of the amber...what is it about this part of the country that would result in the winds being somewhat less strong given that parts of cambridgeshire are in the amber. .also given the large population of the London area and home counties which is as i understand is taken into account for the warnings...

    St neots is nearly always on the edge of every warning, fully expected that! Bizarre though given the forecasts, I'd have thought a blanket amber was appropriate. ..

    British winters have become so tedious I now dread them because you know it will be months of rain gloom, cloud, and mild temperatures, basically one long autumn and not winter.

    3 months Summer, 9 months grey lids. The new seasons.

    And is continuing to change, of course. Can't be that long before we see 20C in January.

    Totally agree, I'd say within a decade. 40c as an annual max seemed miles off not so long ago yet I recorded that here just 2 years ago. It's changing fast.

    There's been plenty of ramping for cold and snow, which admittedly even I got a bit caught up in when the modelling looked promising (though I never bought into the deep freeze some were suggesting). Ironically, it now looks like very few areas will see snow. Additionally, any that does settle won't stick around very long as the warmup is coming next weekend. To top it all off, in addition we have exceptionally mild scenarios building support in the ensembles for the tail end of the month as I've said over on the model thread. Even the ensemble means deliver widespread double-digit maxima, and some of the more extreme scenarios deliver 15C. You really couldn't make it up!

    You could definitely make it up, it happens every year for at least the last 15 years. Its regular as clockwork. The climate has changed a while back now and mild/warm will always be the form horse. Thankfully I stopped getting led up the garden path and crushed by the usual model failure (or reality) for snow a long time back. Far easier to expect mild or dry cold these days and very rarely a snowy blip will materialise. Less stress...
