I think the next 5/6 days will go as current models show ,but beyond that high pressure with just a shift here or there could realy bring many different weather types over the UK .

just got a Gut feeling that some very merky cold days could be on the cards on the far horizon ,high pressure seems to want to hang around to our east or north ,but will that be that or are we seeing some early signs of whats to come over the winter period ,so we have some interesting Model discussions ahead ,Not many about tonight i wonder why ,My 93 yr old mother in law is watching the rugby ,cheers gang  :drinks:thought i,d posted this in Model output discussion ,well should have gone to spec savers .

Overcast start looks like a grey day on the cards unless we can get a clearance this afternoon like yesterday... Not as cold as recent mornings either with a low of 9.2c, currently 12.7c.

It started off very murky and cloudy here, but has since brigtened right up in the last half an hour or so. I hope there is another sunny and warm-feeling afternoon on the way. :)

After yesterday's cloudy murk at least the sun broke through today and since lunchtime it has been lovely.

Only mid teens but there is still some strength in the sun and it feels pleasantly warm.

Nice late afternoon sunshine for the last hour as the cloud that's been hanging around all day cleared northwards, still a bit of warmth to be felt in the sun when it does appear. 14.3c max today.

After Saturday's fog and cloudfest, the day dawned clear with some fair weather Cu developing through the morning.  The afternoon mirrored most of last week: cloudless. Currently cloud seems to increasing from the west.  Little or no breeze F0-1.  Visibility >10 miles.  Overnight min:7.3C, max: 18.3C, currently 12.1C and dropping.  Pressure has been falling over the weekend, currently 1007mb.

 

Went swimming in my local River Weaver at Frodsham, water temp 13C which is pretty normal for the time of year.  Probably helped by the warm conditions last week.

It's down to physiological adaptation, in my case it took me two years to train in order to be able to do that. I must admit I like the "shock and awe" factor.

 

Want know how to do it?

Hopefully I can bring my blog up to date, but the winter swimming help me overcome several years' bad health, confirmed by those treating me.

Still not for me, 121 lbs probably collapse

Most if not all male bare-skin winter swimmers are built like brick outhouses - it's all that blubb.........err.......insulation. :D

 

I currently weigh 109kilos
