looks wet from the 11th onwards

fi from the 12th as too much temperature variation

I agree about it being FI from quite early. I'm struggling with interpreting anything at the moment, as the models seem to change with each run, even in the relatively short term. Maybe the tropical storms are throwing them?

Quiet here in the Twighlight Zone iisn't it?

Well it looks like some of us did actually manage to fall asleep....eventually

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. Lovely blue sky and sun here in The Swich.

Hope you all have a lovely 'Poets' day and all have that Friday feeling. âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡

A bright and sunny start with heavy dew on the car and a nice chill to the air.

[Snowangel-MK]

It's Frrrrriiidddddaaaayyy!!!

I know that now.....

.......I've got a bit confused this week because I was away until Tuesday so my working week started on Wednesday

Morning all. Same weather here, as undoubtedly most are experiencing.

I had more of a POETW day on Tuesday (actually I left work late, so ruined it ) Enjoying a few days off now.

[Steve C]

But a short week to ease you back in MK? Though no substitute to being in Devon I realise.

Yes Steve cracking day here, although I had to look up poets day... like it

I think Keraunophile needs to wash her mouth out really!

Sadly, I'm watching the latest GFS run update...It's currently up to 9:00 on Tuesday.

[Jimmyh]

gotta say wow what a day blue blue sky as far as the eye can. Honestly does it get any better than this.

Question tho why does April and September give us some of the bluest skies ......

When I first saw POETS DAY on FB I actually thought it was a day dedicated to poets.

Lol. Yup! I could make a Southwark bawd blush.........not really.

Hope weather fine next week end. London on Friday and Brighton on Saturday. :o

I've been looking at GFS over the last day, regarding next weekend. Here are 4 charts for next Friday at noon.

Basically 3 of these 4 look decent to me, although it's obviously early days. I'm also posting the latest Sunday 16th chart too.

Not that much shorter really, I don't work Mondays anyway and I've done two late nights and will be working longer on Saturday to make up for it

I'd much rather be at the seaside, it's lovely here today though I've just been up to the stables to collect some tickets and the sun is really warm

[Coast]

Is it the weekend yet?

[Snowangel-MK]

Is it the weekend yet?

almost...I think I can just about see it on the horizon..

[Coast]

Question tho why does April and September give us some of the bluest skies ......

As well as the Rayleigh scattering already mentioned, the possible decreasing humidity at this time of year may also be contributory along with surface level pressure (currently high) and temperature changes:

Calculations of the volume Rayleigh-scattering coefficient were made for all the radiosoundings to study its seasonal variations with height due to pressure and temperature changes occurring in the troposphere and stratosphere. It was found that the surface-level pressure and temperature conditions can account to a large extent for these seasonal effects.

hi all

weekend looks nice although we may get some showers sunday evening

and getting windy

next week looks warm but plenty of rain about

also there will be a noticeable wind as well

not going too far but this would give us a slim storm chance

nice lot of unstable air there

only posting for fun at present as the week after nexts

charts will change all the time due to the hurricanes in the atlantic

[Coast]

A really pleasant evening here in the garden tonight, need to light the chiminea though shortly.

Lucky for some....I've only just finished working, I certainly wouldn't say no to a glass of wine right now

[Coast]

I've started in an attempt to get some kip tonight, it's very quiet here in the middle of the night

[Steve C]

Rayleigh Scattering... Isn't it caused by dropped milk bottles?

Lovely mild evening here. But........no fish cakes or mushy peas at the local chippy. Tut!

I'd say today was the finest weather day of the year here.

I was thinking that the wet summer has caused a lack of distress in foliage so far. Horse chestnut trees, which always lose their leaves early and the inevitable Dutch Elm Disease excepted.
