Today was sunny, cold and frosty. I actually like these sort of winter days; much better than the usual damp and dull ones. Current temp: 2 Celsius Max temp: 3 Celsius at 1:50 PM Min temp: -1 Celsius at 7:50 AM Wind speed: 9 km/h Wind direction: NW Humidity: 86% Cloud cover: 0% Pressure: 1030 mb

January: Damp, cloudy and mild. February: Similar to January. March: Quite a windy month. Temperatures and weather typical for early spring. April: A couple of nice sunny days with mild temperatures. Turned wintry towards the end of the month. May: We had a reminder that summer is just around the corner, especially early in the month when temperatures reached 25 Celsius. June: Nice during the first week, then the weather became mainly unsettled for the rest of the month. July: The first week or so was a continuation of the wet June. After this, it became drier and a little sunnier with temperatures only around average. It was warmer and sunnier during the second half of the month with a hot spell around the 19th. August: The best of the summer months in my opinion. Especially since this is the first August in a long time that has actually felt like summer. September: Another good month with a hot spell around the middle. October: Quite a boring month in terms of weather, although it started off fairly sunny. November: Cloudy and mild. Sunny and cold with sharp frosts around the end. December: A bit milder than November.

Here's my predictions. January: This month will be dominated by high pressure which will bring calm and settled conditions. Because of this, it will be drier than average. However, there will be a couple of stormy spells. February: The best (if you like wintry weather) of the 3 winter months. A very stormy month and some snow in some places. Temperatures will also be a little below average, with a cold snap around mid month. March: Quite a breezy month and wet at times, although weather wise there will be a touch of spring around the middle of the month. April: Dominated by low pressure during the first week. Becoming more settled around the middle of the month with a warm spell during the fourth week. Sunshine will be close to average, but rainfall a little above average. May: The warm spell towards the end of April continues into the first couple of days in May. After that, low pressure starts to take control of the weather for the next couple weeks which will bring wet weather and slightly below average temperatures. After that, there will be a warm spell which will last for a few days, and the month will then end with typical late May weather. June: The first week of June will be dry but a little cooler than average. It will be unsettled for the next 2 weeks with rainfall higher than average as well as below average sunshine. Towards the end of the month, it will start to feel more like summer as high pressure begins to take control of the weather. However, temperatures will only hover around the 19C-22C mark. July: The best of the 3 summer months, although there will be a couple of unsettled spells. During the middle of the month, temperatures could reach 30 Celsius in the south, whilst elsewhere the temperatures will hover around 24C-29C. August: The vast majority of Augusts over the last decade have decided to become more autumnal months, and the same will be true for August 2017. The last few days of the month will see the best of the sunshine, and temperatures could reach 25 Celsius down the south, whilst elsewhere the temperatures will hover around 21C-24C. September: The settled spell at the end of August will continue into the first week of September. The middle of the month will be dominated by low pressure which will bring wet and breezy conditions. Around the equinox, the weather will be dominated by high pressure which will bring warm sunny days and some cool nights along with the first air frost of the season. The month will end with weather and temperatures that are typical for the end of September. October: High pressure will be in control during the first week of October, which will bring settled conditions and below average rainfall. After this, we could see the first autumn storm which will bring strong winds and moderate rainfall. During the third and fourth weeks, high pressure will become dominated again. November: Quite a stormy month with a cold snap towards the end of the month along with sharp frosts. However, there will be a couple of milder than average days round about the beginning. December: Just like the last few Decembers, this one will be milder than average, although not as mild as December 2015. There will be some sunny and cold days towards the end of the month, as well as some sharp frosts. Spring: +0.8 C Summer: +0.4 C Autumn: +1.2 C

Yes, it sounds perfect for Christmas shopping. Although I would like a few good active depressions to affect the UK this winter which will result in good stormy weather. I suppose it's still early days.

I guess so. But 2010/11 will be one winter I will never forget.

I can't really think of a song right now. But as for what I hope for in the next 8 weeks, I hope to have some more storms, as well as some proper snow instead of just a dusting. Due to high pressure dominating for the vast majority of the time, it has been relatively quiet lately, which can be a bit boring. We haven't really had an exciting winter since 2010/11.

Which ever way you want to look at it (meteorological or astronomical), we are in late autumn. Winter is just around the corner.
