Normal service has been resumed after the weekend deluge. Dry with sunny intervals, mild with the temperature currently 14c in Ellon. Hints of colder conditions over the weekend

Oh well.....   

Here we go again.......

Frosty nights to dry out i hope.

Fine sunset about 5.45pm  with good visibility to the north across the Firth.

[Snowandrocks]

Very pleasant day after a miserable weekend. Almost flat calm all day and surprisingly warm in the sunshine. 

Was hanging some deer gates today, dug the posts in by hand, 4ft into thick sticky clay, glad I managed to borrow a post chapper for the main fence as my shoulders are already feeling it!

starting where we sit currently the winds at 925hpa and 950hpa are yet to start the convergence zone dynamics 

Really gets firing up from about midnight which will begin the accumulations for many areas

Latest even gets about 100mm toward here come Monday afternoon

 

ARPEGE has that a bit north but anywhere along that convergence will be getting the 100+ 

@jamieson87 tbh I can't see how Edinburgh AP avoids minimal disruption at the least, even if it's akin to arpege your still talking in the zone of 70mm

IMPORTANT POST WITH EXTREME RAINFALL EVENT FRIDAY THROUGH MON. PLEASE READ TA

 

Reckon I done an overall accurate job with this 

considering how much of an extreme scenario it was

My total from this atmospheric river 85.39MM

Fri 12.19MM

Saturday 47.29mm

Sunday 25.91MM

Also were a few occasions with the sky signal being affected which indicates the density of the cloud / water content as the receivers cant get the line of sight for the satellites 

Totals on meteociel through 72hrs

Models were on the ball with these totals even from 5+ days which deserves some acknowledgements

Dry day yesterday but evening rain but not before a stunning sunset

[mardatha]

Bloody awful day here, horrible wind & rain. Can I ask a stupid question here --- how or where do I find out what direction the wind is from? Down here it's hard to tell as it gusts around between the houses and the tall trees at the back. I don't see wind forecasts on bbc or netweather radar, just rain.

If you select wind or gusts on this map, it'll show the arrows for direction

A strong SW wind - but a very mild one, currently 16c and feeling warm especially when the sun breaks through.

[Northernlights]

17c  very windy and  moderate drizzly rain a lovely afternoon. Not helping to dry out ground tattie guys will be a  bit grumpy.   

[Sceptical]

A very mild day at Ellon, car display showed 19c at 16.30. Currently 18c in the Vale of Alford with a fairly strong wind.

[DR(S)NO]

Looking forward to at least one frost this weekend and, hopefullly, the start of the cooling down process.

Baking hot in Paris, just roasting. Keep seeing my son on the ring doorbell setting off with the dog wrapped up in raincoats and jumpers.

Going to be quite mild and wet leading into winter according to the predictions. Just accept it now and it won’t feel so bad when it happens.

Very similar for me atm. Hope you guys back home are enjoying the rain, the Italian weather since Saturday has been 26-30c and full sunshine.

Lake Garda - Ferrara - Bologna - Florence - Rome.

The Amalfi coast to follow for the next 5 days

Thanks for the links to wind maps xx

[Quinach]

Lots of sunshine but feeling cold out of the sunshine thanks to a strong and gusty WNW wind.

Currently 11c so a good 5c cooler than yesterday.

Good day for cutting the grass, still needing cutting every fortnight which goes to show how mild it has been.

[Mair Snaw]

And so it begins... mon the sleet..

[Norrance]

Yes first time that I have seen anything wintry mentioned this season. Met office outlook for weekend for here has wintry showers on hills

"Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Turning colder but staying mainly dry with sunny spells. The odd shower will feed in from the northwest, wintry on hills.. Fresh west or northwesterly winds but easing on Sunday.

Updated: 17:00 (UTC+1) on Wed 11 Oct 2023"

Here today it has been bright and breezy with just a bit of chill in the westerly wind. 11C currently.

Some of the washed away bales and straw/hay caught by the trees and fence in the polar Avenue in the upper Tay valley. Farmers will not be very happy in the aftermath of the floods. Still water under that lot in what is a field usually of short grass.

A bit late but at last. 

[Northernlights]

Had just seen the above posts photos. Have to say a much fresher day with a maximum of 11c mostly broken cloud with fresh to strong NW wind making it feel colder. 

[Sceptical]

Noticeably colder this morning, 2.5c on the car display at the house. Colder again on the approach to Westhill. The roads are bone dry so no issue with ice.

 

 

[Mair Snaw]

16c inside the house this morning.. treated the family by turning the thermostat up to 18c and thats where it will stay now for the next 6 months. Stove was serviced, chimney sweep did his thing earlier in the week and wood supplies have been ordered... bring winter on i say..
