An isolated cell looks like building a few miles inland from Blackpool at a guess I'd say heading towards Lancaster area.. Just a guess tho
-
That is a hell of a drop in temperature from where they were earlier.
We're still at 29c with 56% humidity.
Feels like the Caribean out there, just need one of their type of storms now.
Yeah feels much better now than I did earlier on... Gutted tho that the predicted weather for this evening did not materialise for the regional
-
Feelings much fresher now here... Temps down to 21.6c and humidity is up from 41% earlier to 69% now... Also just had some very light rain
-
Temps down to 28.2c here but dew point up to 18.4c
-
Temps now down to 30.4 as it's become clouded at the minute
-
Not sure how accurate this is but for my area it shows this... There is still some sun around but clouds are becoming more and more extensive.
-
Radar currently making it more marginal for certain areas off the irish sea... turned to sleet here now
-
It's actually snowing in Blackpool which im slightly amazed at.... only light though but it more than what i expected.
Is the front expected to pivot and move south overnight.... radar kind of shows it doing that.

did you see the lightning?
Yeah took me by surprise... it was the same on Wednesday i think but that was early morning around 6ish as i was going to work.
-
No precipitation at all just a flash then almost instant thunder, now raining slightly
I got hail.... probably the closest to snow we will see.
-
A week and a half in Jan 1987 and the same in feb 1991 although don't know exactly how long it was closed in feb 91 though as had flu and the week holiday followed that so nearly 3 week s but false.
I had a week of school in feb 91, remember it well because i was in my final year of junior school, probably the most winter fun i ever had. but also i remember it well because it was the most snow i have ever seen in blackpool snowed for around 3 days and the snow drifts were very impressive for the area. Not seen anything like it here since.
My hopes for winter would be something exactly like this again.

I`m still thinking heavy Fog !!!
Or maybe steam from on rushing glacial flood. It is strange that we can no longer see the Doppler lights either.
-
GPS going down again sharply considering it was doing the opposite 5 mins ago. Strange!!
-
Gps is on its way up sharply!!

Could be a sign of pressure building from below now the fissure has stopped.
-
just been looking at the water flow for the Jökulsá á Fjöllum
Average water temp last 24 hrs 7.3.c
AS of 9pm tonight 5.4.c
water level 232cm
Water flow 322.9m/s
Could this be significant?
-
Does it also not seem that now the lights from the Doppler are fading.
OH wait they have gone.

HI John
Do you think the last big quake has caused the caldera to collapse over the chamber thus effectively cutting off the supply of magma?
If only they had nigh vision on the cams as well. we would be able to see the glacier to check nothing has changes there,
-
Looks like it just finished.
Maybe we will begin to see pressure rise again now there is nothing coming to the surface.
Or the quiet before the big eruption.
Who knows but this really keeps this interesting.
-
USGS has it at 5.1
- 5.1108km WNW of Hofn, Iceland2014-09-16 22:34:15 UTC+01:005.0 km
could change though.
it also has a 3.1 in Alaska @m 194.3km deep. Thats a pretty deep earthquake.
-
The fissure plume is a shadow of its former self! I wonder where the magma is going next?
Maybe the fissure is collapsing on itself. Just a thought...
Also we may see Eq's increase in number again over the coming days as pressure builds back in to the system.
-
I just looked and was quite surprised how active they looked, that should mean a reduction in pressure -- OR further deflate the caldera
Maybe we will begin to see another uptick in EQ at the caldera.
-
is it just me or do the fountains look more active at the moment compared to earlier on.
-
Is it worth also keeping an eye on the volcano to the west of the glacier as there has been a concentration of small EQ's there over the course of today.
Could they be ice quakes caused by the inflation/deflation and rifting of the area or
maybe magma is finding a new route in/out of Bada itself or glacial melt water is.
Then again could just i could just be over thinking the situation.

Pics are large so won't paste on here.
Also is it possible that the dyke is on more than 1 level running horizontal from the volcano like 2 tubes say 50ft apart, with 1 branching to the surface and 1 carrying on moving northwards underground. and therefore allows for the eruption to be free flowing from where it is now at Holurhan but also continue to move further to the north past Askja.

i reckon the cams should look pretty again tonight
Yeah tonight and especially for the 12th/13th with a double CME expected.
So ill be looking for some nice Auroras as well, with the eruption in the foreground.
STORM WARNING (UPDATED): Among space weather forecasters, confidence is building that Earth's magnetic field will receive a double-blow from a pair of CMEs on Sept. 12th. The two storm clouds were propelled in our direction by explosions in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2158 on Sept. 9th and 10th, respectively. Strong geomagnetic storms are possible on Sept. 12th and 13th as a result of the consecutive impacts. Sky watchers, even those at mid-latitudes, should be alert for auroras in the nights ahead. Aurora alerts: text, voice
EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE AND CME: Sunspot AR2158 erupted on Sept. 10th at 17:46 UT, producing an X1.6-class solar flare. A flash of ultraviolet radiation from the explosion (movie) ionized the upper layers of Earth's atmosphere, disturbing HF radio communications for more than an hour. More importantly, the explosion hurled a CME directly toward Earth. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory photographed the expanding cloud:

Storm off coast of Blackpool... Just heard a long deep rumble out toward the coastline
