Thinking back a couple of months to the dry & anticyclonic, but very dull weather we had in the last few days of October 2024 (and the first week or so of November), was this a very similar spell of weather to the same period in 1993? 

 

I have very vague memories of a cloudy spell during the October half term of '93, and people have said that it was cloudy then, so was it more or less identical to the spell we had last year?

Both were long dry spells when they'd have been best suited for summer, but in 1993 the high was slightly west then north of the UK before going to Scandinavia as opposed to one last year where it was often east of the UK and a euro high.

Most dry spells mid to late autumn period I think often have the high around or west of the UK, but the one last November was a little east of the UK and over Europe which maybe is more unusual for the time of year...

The dry spell late Oct - early Nov 1988 was imo most similar to the one last year, with the anticyclone often over or east of the UK, but sometimes it would start to build west of the UK then move eastwards.
