Autumn 2024 Moans, ramps and banter

 Atleastitwillbemild just booked Dubai for 25th this month for 10 days , need a sun fix before xmas , constant cloud getting me down

[stainesbloke]

The vile gloom has made it Czechia, and feeling chilly with it. Maximum temperature only reached 7°C here today 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

Another day, the neverending gloom persists. Gloomhog day.

 HarvSlugger the water table must be going down, the lawns much more firm now, not muddy at all.

[TonyH]

 sawan will take some doing these days of no smog, one sunny week that's all.

[richie3846]

 HarvSlugger exactly that. Evapotranspiration rates from November to February are really low. In weather like this you're talking about losses of 2mm per week. Even in fine dry weather we're looking at less than 1mm per day. For example, Marlborough weather station recorded losses of 12mm last November, hardly enough to make a major dent in saturated ground.

[HarvSlugger]

 richie3846 wow! so more rain will still cause Major flooding so much easier, especially here when 2023 was my wettest year ever with 2500mm

 HarvSlugger I've had none in 11 days

 In Absence of True Seasons I feel sick 

[DTHFCJ]

 In Absence of True Seasons same here only we've been lucky today to have a touch of drizzle thrown in!

[Snowspout]

Polar low on end of GFS. Less FI than what I posted yesterday but still very FI. Harv would do well out of this if it came off, though.

[HarvSlugger]

 hailcore oooo

[HarvSlugger]

Looks very similar to end of November 2005 

When I had a pembrokeshire dangler that gave me loads of snow

Colder than average sea surface temperatures are persisting north of the UK, that is very good for us cold/snow lovers going forward

[In Absence of True Seasons]

Leaving the gym, it's not raining, zero rain on forecast here, yet everything is wet and there's a sort of moisture / mizzle in the air regardless. Peak British autumn scenes. Grotty stuff.

Makes it feel a lot colder than it actually is as well. Prime example of the sort of damp cold that seeps into your bones and is somehow colder in feel than the crisp, frosty or snowy cold.

Daily Express at it again

[Bradley in Kent]

 stewfox I believe that articles like those generate the most clicks even if 95% of the population know its total rubbish. All to do with advertising and page counts 

[chris888]

 Frigid very much doubt december will redeem the weather it's usually just as rubbish as november and the sun is even weaker 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

What's causing this drizzle in the air despite forecast showing no rain? Everything is soaked. Its such classic UK autumn it's laughable. No actual rain, but everything sopping wet regardless. Woeful climate from Oct to March honestly.

We were lucky to get sunshine on October 31st because that alone has made this spell less tough to get through. But we're now at 6 days of 0 hour sunshine and counting.

[Metwatch]

Back in Fuerteventura today, and it genuinely feels like I've teleported to another planet. A very hot airmass for November with temperatures of 20-21°C at the 850 hPa level over the Canary Islands, which is certainly evident today and lasts for the rest of this week. I'm here only till Sunday. 

Reached just over 29°C in inland central areas this afternoon, a little cooler by the coast where I'm staying. Yet another year where the first half of November has reliably fine conditions in the Canary Islands!

There was drizzle on the car windscreen - is this warmer climate equalling more moisture? Although we do get it in Autumn mists/fog

[raz.org.rain]

 stewfox how do they come up with this lemone

[In Absence of True Seasons]

 Metwatch it's nice to be able to actually see things, see the sky, the landscape, sunrise and sunset! Makes you remember "oh I live on Earth" and not the inside of a misted-up tuppperware box 

[Josh Rubio]

Despite the bone dry forecast and models, everything here is soaking wet. Near constant mist and fog, as well as intermittent drizzle means that things can’t properly dry out. 

[Relativistic]

Stunning morning here. We've been fortunate that it hasn't been as bad here as elsewhere, though it's still been mostly overcast for the past week or two.
