Latest from Matt Hugo on Twitter

EC 32 day update signalling a particularly cyclonic opening wk or so of Nov, but thereafter a changeable outlook exists...

What does cyclonic weather mean? Sorry guys, i see it on here all the time but im never sure the meaning

What does cyclonic weather mean? Sorry guys, i see it on here all the time but im never sure the meaning

Low pressure, or wet and windy (most likely) opposite of anti cyclonic, high pressure. It refers to the direction of wind flow around pressure centres

Low pressure - cyclones move in an anti-clockwise direction whereas high pressure involves anti-cyclones which move in a clockwise direction. Depending on where the pressure sets up, this can lead to cold or mild weather as the cyclone will drag in different bodies of air depending on its position.

The modeled area of low pressure (which looks to set itself up just to the NW of the UK) signals rather cool weather for the time of year, nothing drastically cold but certain not a depressingly mild prospect either!

Still a long way off tho...

uppers still not quite cold enough, very marginal

promising though, certainly not mild!

Zonal all the way? Maybe it's time to find those 'Easterly, where did that come from?' threads!

Lots of twists and turns ahead I'm sure.

Seems confident and has well and truly nailed his colours to the mast, FairPlay to him and hope he's right!

Anyone no why the quote function doesn't work in Safari on an iMac and yet works fine on an iPhone which I assume is using Safari? Sorry it's not weather related but it is very frustrating!

It is a nice run for cold, with the 528 850's returning again and again.

How many other years have we waited for the 528 to appear in the 'middle' of winter, let alone late mid Autumn!!! I hope it forms a decent trend

[Summer Sun]

Snow is here 2 months earlier than last last year for parts of the UK so where doing better than last year

[Snowmadsam]

If my dew point dropped by another degree I could be having snow.....
