It's back to the usual gloomy, windy crap here after a couple of lovely days. Zzzzz

Aye 

This is as bad it gets for me little diurnal range between maxima and minima, overcast, the pits. Boring.

Utterly bland, other than some rain.  Fine for those who only consider the weather when it does something they don't want, but, for those of us for whom interesting weather holds attraction, it's very disappointing.

At least there's some sunny spells about today, cloud scape looking quite beautifal at times.

A weekend of contrasts. Yesterday in the west country brought almost continuous grey skies and drizzle until the evening. This morning walking along Sandbanks beach in our 'autumn' gear of fleeces and boots we wished we were in shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. It was stunning with sunshine, warmth, sunbathers, and, as @alexisj9 mentioned, some stunning cloudscapes.

A bright start but a lot of cloud has moved in this afternoon.

[Blazerblue]

Been so dull and gloomy, haven’t seen the sun for days. If it’s going to be warmer the next few days can it be at least sunny, I’d rather it was colder with sun, than dull and warm.

[Lauren]

It's getting colder, the nights are drawing in and we have months of grey nothingness ahead. DO NOT WANT.

 

The only positive is the beautiful autumn colours. I wouldn't mind so much if it actually snowed.

no fog so far this october, snowless winter coming up if this continues, according to weather folklore

Is it getting colder? Come the weekend 24C is not out of question somewhere in the south. I'm more than happy with balmy October weather rather now than knocking into winter - it has been very common in recent years. I have noticed the 'changeover' has occurred much sooner than usual. Snow is always welcome! 

[Blazerblue]

Couple of bursts of sunshine today, otherwise still mostly cloudy but warming up, fingers crossed for a few more longer bright spells tomorrow

Ominous looking. Who needs a tour bus when you have a 188?

Nice moody skies Daniel!

I'm in Rochester again this week and today not very good here - predominantly cloudy with a very gusty wind that set in late morning, averaging 21 mph by this pm with gusts of 31 mph according to the nearest Met Office station. The decaying cold front came through this evening with bits and bobs of rain, unfortunately just as me and son-in-law walked back from the local 'micro pub'. Never mind, for some reason it didn't seem to matter! 

Roll on the weekend - looking very pleasant!

[Blazerblue]

Taken at 20 minutes before sun up this morning, maybe we might get some decent spells of sunshine today, make a change from the cloudy yuk we’ve had for ages.

[lassie23]

BBQ weekend

[Blazerblue]

Grey, windy and piggin cold so far today!  Resisting turning the heating on as supposedly it’s going to get warm this weekend. 

[Methuselah]

Dry, bright and breezy over here, BB...And already up to 18C...

[March]

Just hit 20C...

[Blessed Weather]

The weather doesn't know what it wants to do here! One minute cloudy and grey and feeling cool in the strong breeze, the next the sun's out and the jacket off. But the temp up to 19.6C  which isn't bad for nearly mid October.

And better to come with a very pleasant weekend on the way. Unfortunately for folk who return to work on Monday - that's set to be the sunniest and warmest day of this late burst of warmth.

Saturday - top temp of 20C.

Cloud 13.00  18.00 

Temp 16.00

Sunday - top temp of 21C.

Cloud 13.00  18.00 

Temp 16.00 

Monday - top temp of 23C. Note the cloud swirl from ex-hurricane Ophelia as the storm moves up the west coast of Ireland.

Cloud 13.00  18.00

Temp 16.00

Indeed, despite the generally overcast conditions and the wind, I thought it felt remarkably warm.

Very much so I was frankly a sweaty mess in my work suit from just walking 10 minutes and I’m not unfit. Not pleasant bring on the cool down but before that a late ‘plume’ of moist exceptionally warm air courtesy of Ophelia. 

[Blazerblue]

Well it has warmed up a smidge now, but still very grey and windy.

[Flaked Queen]

Grass needs cutting again ! I keep thinking nope last cut of the year and then bam huge spurt.... fingers crossed for dry sunny grass cutting conditions this weekend ! 

[SenlacJack]

Not even a hint of blue sky or sunshine here today, just a dull miserable sheet of cloud and occasional drizzle.

[Soaring Hawk]

Good morning, a mix of sun and cloud forecast here today. Currently sunny, thank goodness.

Temp: 16C feels like 14, high of 19 expected. 

wind: SW 10 

Pressure: 1023
