Looks like some torrential downpours are heading my way though I'll bet £50 that they die out before hitting me!

Might have to take you up on that offer

Pretty foul here. Periods of moderate rain and blowing a bit of a hoolly from the NW of 25mph gusting 40.

[cornish snow]

Well,another winter just around the corner,can feel the excitement starting to build. Probably another green,wet and windy one for us in the extreme south but finger's crossed hey. Hope knocker's Daf's take a pounding,not like there isn't enough of them anyway.

Carol Kirkwood said on her 06.15 g=forecast this morning that the Northern Lights had been seen from Somerset last night, did anyone on here see anything? I did have a look out at 22.00 but it was quite cloudy.

Nope. I went out at 11pm and whilst the sky was clear as a bell, the bright(ish) lights of Salisbury sit on my Northern horizon, so we never really stand a chance down here. 

 

Anyway, after spending most mornings this week getting soaked, today was a cracker.

I heard her say that too, but I have not seen any evidence. I wonder if it was a mistake (or a mis-hearing). If they were seen from Somerset then surely Wales too (given enough chance with cloud etc)?

[warmintim]

I did just find this though, from the summer and taken in the Quantocks...

A veil of Cs invaded the sky this afternoon and briefly there was a so so halo. I've no idea what the bright spot above the contrail is.

 

[knocker]

Cloudy with various cloud types. Temp 12C and a light easterly.

[Nights King]

Misty and cloudy start again this morning and cool 5c

[Lyn-M]

What happened to the sun?  It's been peeping through a veil of cloud on and off all day, looks like what we get when there's a system coming in from the SW.  Wind's a tad on the nippy side too.

I am presuming there's a lot of high cloud spilling off from ex Joaquin.

[Rich_Clements]

Well that wasn't too bad a day, as Lyn says above pretty much cloudy all day, but nice temps I have been out in the garden most of the day I even eat my lunch out there.

[Lyn-M]

Having seen a forecast this evening, it would seem that Andy's comment about ex hurricane Joaquin's cloud is correct.  I knew we wouldn't get away without some effect from it!

[knocker]

Cloudy with a layer of Ac and a little St. Temp 13C with a zephyr from the east.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Overhead cloud cover with a light N.Easterly breeze. 10.9c. Humidity being 92%rh gives the breeze a cool feel.
