Autumn 2024 Moans, ramps and banter

[SunChaserWales]

Just happy it's not raining for a while! Feels like I've been caught in a monsoon pretty much every day this year

[East Lancs Rain]

Start of July:

 

Start of November:

 

Barely any difference in temperature. What’s happened to the seasons? Bar the odd day, it feels like it’s been continuous autumn this year.

[HarvSlugger]

I've never known a cloudier high pressure than this before, genuinely haven't even seen the sun for a week and gonna go on much longer yet,boringgg

[TwisterGirl81]

 HarvSlugger 

yes it’s just so grey and relentless, just really sucks imagine if this had been in spring or summer

what is with all the cloud?

[MP-R]

This is actually a sick joke.

 

[emmett garland]

 MP-R the month of May spring to mind 

[chris888]

i'm not one to complain about high pressure usually but this one is an endless cloudfest it either needs to start providing some sunshine or go away and let low pressure take control because it's just not right having it so grey with pressure so high i thought high pressure systems were supposed to prevent that sort of thing you know with downward sinking drying air 

[HarvSlugger]

 TwisterGirl81 I know,it feels strange we in the UK are used to the weather changing often day by day, but it's been the same full cloudy skies for a week straight

[Alderc 2.0]

It’s pretty much drizzled continuously since around 10am now. Light levels were so low the floodlights came on at the driving range around 1pm, couldn’t see a thing. 

[Mapantz]

That is an abysmal chart

Whilst I wish the high was a sunny one, i am not fussed at all by the conditions. I am an outdoors guy, the less rain I have to suffer (Lord knows how much of it we had to put up with the last year), the happier I am. Been out for a long walk with the dog just now, tomorrow it's hike time with no concerns about being rinsed every other hour.

I am just annoyed my left wrist is not fully recovered after breaking it in September as this is ideal weather for local bike rides (nothing spectacular where I live but i can bike it from my house thus no need to drive)

Soon enough, we'll be back to 'interesting' weather and wasting my precious weekends stuck at home.

 Alderc 2.0 drizzle cloud and cold. I detest this!!! I feel sooo depressed. My SAD lamp is coming out.

[Snow Tyre]

My solar panels have set a new light low today; 1.9kWh. Really dark all day.

Compare this to 27th October

They might look fairly similar until you look at the Y axis of the graph which shows the power produced.

[SunChaserWales]

Rubbish slate grey skies and gloom here today. But I was checking on the forecast for where my family lives (Plymouth) and this is an absolutely insane forecast for November? Could easily be a forecast from June lol

 

[MP-R]

 *Stormforce~beka* I never felt it getting light today tbf.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 MP-R Me either. I just feel worse day by day right now.

[Metwatch]

Defintely an unpopular opinion, but I kind of don't mind this weather; calm, quiet, dry. It's much more usable than rain or wind, especially if you're having to commute to work by foot or bike or even for just a leisurely cycle / stroll. Of course It would be better if there was sunshine.

@richie3846 put it very nicely in a post of his yesterday; might not be what many want, but it's what is needed after so much rain recently,

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Aye, think too much optimism for sunshine on here, different if it was say April to Sept, but this time of year rarely sunny especially with a high

[MP-R]

 *Stormforce~beka* It’s pretty dire isn’t it. Only saving grace is that it’s dry. 

[Alderc 2.0]

Only 0.7hrs of sun in the last 6days. Anyone beat that? 

[HarvSlugger]

 Alderc 2.0 0 sun the last 6 days, anyone beat that?

[Sceptical]

Warm enough to sit outside and work on the sun tan.

 

[dubmuffin]

 *Stormforce~beka* yep, and by about 3pm, we were walking in the dinge, going past pubs with people drinking like it was already evening. I had to check the time to see if I'd missed a couple of hours and should be joining them

[Josh Rubio]

Zero precipitation showing on the rain radar but it’s heavy drizzle and everything is wet. Why is that?
