    Still raining another 2.2 mm and the wind stronger, gusting to 37 mph, almost unheard of in my very sheltered back garden. the wx station is only 12-15 feet above the ground as well.

    Davis Rainguage seems to have packed up around 0830, showing 27.0 mm+ 3.6 before midnight. Chucking it down currently is my technical term, certainly not going to go out and try to clear the Davis!

  2. Overnight wet and windy and still raining; rainfall from last evening to now=28.6 mm, overnight gust max=24 mph and a low of 12.7 C (currently)

    Looks like my Davis has packed up with the rain, 0.2 mm in past 45 mins and only brief spells of not raining. For sure I'm not going out in this to try and rectify it!

    Looking at the data output, probably suspect from around 0830 at a quick inspection.

  3. Not looked in detail at the usual charts since Thursday last week so today

    Monday 16 October

    First NOAA 6-15 chart

    The large +ve values in the east Pacific of the last few days continues with a –ve value beneath this; so we have slight contour ridging where normally there is a trough and a small trough beneath this ridge, into a general weterly flow over N America into the distorted pattern south of Greenland into western Europe, with a marked ridge off western Norway towards Greenland, with a +be anomaly of around 180+ DM. Again this has been showing for several days. The overall pattern across the Atlantic and into much of western Europe is westerly, with a change to a more S’ly over the UK and far NW France/Scandinavia. The 8-14 loses most of the +ve heights along with much of the ridging.

    For the ECMWF output for 22-26 October (much the same period as NOAA 6-10) the 500 flow starts with an very similar one to NOAA. It becomes less distorted over time but remains first N of West and then more westerly by 26 th. The 850 temps are generally showing around + 5 C with some warm up towards the end as the +5 C moves into the SE of England.

    Overall the two suggest somewhat less cold air slowly developing as the trough slowly warms out slightly. The settled dry spell initially probably becoming less settled with time.

  4. Thursday 12 October and another look at NOAA and ECMWF 6-14 days from now

    Noaa has a marked build of heights  over Scandinavia since Sunday’s chart; the main trough is now over and south of Greenland with a very slack S’ly flow into the UK. The pattern remains much the same on the 8-14 chart with +ve heights showing around 180 DM over the western coast of Norway. This evolution is similar to that from ECMWF with it showing a surface central pressure of  1034 MB just off southern Finland. So it would seem a spell of mostly dry weather with cloud amounts rather variable giving many sunny spells at least with clear spells

    overnight=around normal temps by day and rather cold at night with frost in areas away from coasts. Obviously detail will come from the synoptic models over the period=6-14 days.

    sorry missed this off about 850's

    The 850’s suggest temps below average at the start but rising a bit above by the end, especially southern areas
