There is a risk that wet and windy weather will continue to spread northeast on Monday. However there is a large amount of uncertainty at present. The public should be aware of this risk and keep up to date with our forecasts.

It's the high impact I'm a bit worried about - the one week I'm not working from home & travelling to Plymouth to hold interviews and this minibeast pops up! - That and I won't have much time to radar watch - Nobody talking about it in the Atlantic Storm thread yet tho...

Something I must do next year. I've known a couple of people who've done this and produced some surprisingly hot chillies.

What sort of chillies are they? I reckon they'll be a good ingredient for some dish.

The heatwave is over in my office. Fan off again, but the heat was good while it lasted!

the "dwarf" ones are called Apache and i've lost the label for the longer ones. but it seems every year no matter which type i grow it's always a complete gamble.....on the same plant u can have very mild ones but also some crazy hot ones. about a month or so ago they were nothing like as strong as they are now. one of the easiest things to grow and the plants look good with the green, orange, red chillies hanging.

and yes, i do have pics of my fruit and veg on my phone....ooops!!

Yellow Alert of Rain for London & South East England :

I suspect this will be backward and forward over the course of tomorrow and into Saturday, but it's looking more like there is a chance of some heavy rain and gusty winds increasing over Sunday. It wouldn't take much (slight change in direction or speed) to throw some of it into Saturday as well as Monday.

Isobars start to tighten on Sunday afternoon as the rain comes through:

[Coast]

Wave heights pick up through out Saturday into Sunday and Monday:

The sun has made an appearance, amazing how it feels alot warmer now. Light winds, so pleasant for the timebeing.

[Steve C]

All in all it could be very interesting and a time for model watching.

Benign here currently, with cirrus / cirrostratus and underlying fair weather cumulus, with a moderate breeze.

[Coast]

Latest from Eastbourne's finest weather forecaster on this weekend and into next week:

[Steve C]

Thanks Coast.

Looking him up on Wikipedia and finding that he currently forecasts here was the reason I'm using this site.

I couldn't watch from the link above, but at least it flagged that the forecast was available. I'm still wondering if there's any chance of a major blow too. My hunch is a there's a slight chance.

A mostly bright day under a sheet of cirrostratus. Some fair weather cumulus bubbled up during the day. Maximum 18C.

Has anyone been on the train recently ? (South west trains) Do they know something about winter we do not?

I only heard bits of it because a through train was coming by...

"All trains from the end of October to be moved back by 3 minutes, this is to allow extra time in adverse winter weather conditions"

Never heard this before

Not that in serve blizzard with 15 foot snow drifts 3 mins is going to make a difference

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Time to ramp winter up a bit more!!

Either they're on to something, or worse still, Yamkin has hacked in to the SW trains intercom system.

LOL

Been a little while from the last date we had some "proper" weather to talk about...

If it does come off and is as wild as some people are saying...

STAY SAFE DON'T BE SILLY AND GO FLY THE KITE

[Coast]

Do you remember the 21st night of September?

[Coast]

A nice start to the day out there and again this morning the sky is filled with contrails reminiscent of WWII in these parts (I imagine).

Did anyone in the SE hear the really odd sounding plane/planes at 5.45 this morning? It/they returned exactly an hour later and I went outside to see what it was, but there wasn't a trace of anything in the sky at that point? It sounded to me just like Concorde used to with those noisy Olympus 593's burning mega fuel? Definitely not the usual air traffic and nothing unusual appeared on flight tracker, so maybe military?

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. It's the autumn equinox today isn't it? So it's ta ta summer; you've been......interesting and a right pain in the ariss re lack of T-Storms. Grrrrrr!

Happy you-know-what's day folks. Have a good one. âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡âš¡
