Scotland Weather discussion

Yet more fantastic sunsets the last couple of days, 1st photo from Bathgate area on Sunday , 2nd is from Stonehaven yesterday afternoon.

 

Now looking forward to whatever this weekend holds for us, at least I can see the lamppost easily from my seat in the lounge.

In other news, temperature currently 1.1c having fallen steadily from 6.7c at midnight, no wind to speak of either.

[shuggee]

A low of 5.5C and currently 5.8C under what I can only imagine is otherwise termed as Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ (with apologies to @Quinachand @Sanserit). 

Saturday - well who knows where the ppn will fall and Sunday may be a November ice day above 300m?

[Sceptical]

Slight Met Office upgrade for Saturday into Sunday.

Another one for last night’s light. This was late afternoon just before the sunset.

certainly some interest for early in the season... wish I could think of a reason to be up in Aviemore 

I'm working all weekend at Tomatin putting a new bridge in to the Perth to Inverness line.

Quite non descript day really. Cloudy but dry wee bit of a nreeze nothing major. Not that warm either but not as cold as it was yesterday

[Sceptical]

Yellow warnings issued for Scotland Friday and Saturday - gales possibly severe gales, wintry showers low level Grampian. This could get interesting.

No wonder especially if this more extreme scenario played out I'd end up neighbours with @101_North

Finally managed to get the car washed in between light drizzly showers. Current temp 9.2c. Got down to 2.4c overnight Sunday into Monday. As for the weekend, lets just wait and see, eh?

[Paul]

Well this looks fun

[Ross90]

3 days is plenty of time for downgrades especially when it comes to high winds although maybe less wind would improve lower level snow chances. The met still only have 35 mph winds max in lower parts of Lanarkshire.

[Sanserit]

From the 1.whatever I reported early this morning, the temperature dropped further to 0.5c at 8.30am before beginning to climb to the heady heights of 5.9c at 1.30 before beginning a slow slide downwards again. Currently -0.1c with a DP of -1.0c, first time it’s gone below zero this early in the evening this autumn.

thought I might have seen gritters out on the way home from work tonight but nothing so far and they certainly hadn’t been out on the Slug road this morning. That’ll probably change as we head towards the weekend.

Been thinking the weather could be interesting for that for the past week! You able to post any pics from the job?

[Norrance]

A sunnier and less breezy day here today. Slightly milder too with a max of 9C which felt quite mild in the sun. 
Can't decide if the weather later in the week is going to be disruptive or not?
My daughter is asking as she is hosting a reunion of her old Uni pals who are arriving either on Friday evening or Saturday morning, mostly by car. The ones that I know of are coming from Newcastle, Cumbria, Dunblane, Fort William, Pitlochry and Keith. Just wondering if there could be any travel problems especially from Keith perhaps on Friday evening or Fort William on Saturday morning.

Meanwhile we are off to Bearsden on Saturday morning till Sunday to visit relatives but hopefully no problems going down that way.

[Quinach]

Very useable day.

Dry, light winds and a max of 8.5c.

Good spells of sunshine, though hazy due to a lot of high altitude cloud.

Nice sunset...

Just back from Tomintoul, wet snow falling for two days but melting almost immediately,  but the BBC said loads of heavy snow on the way, Friday in particular.

Just had a look in the madhouse..rollercoaster continues..PV setting up in Canada our winter now a 4 week write off..oh wait a triopole split vortex n the mother lobe running away. Anyhow back from walkies with my spaniels n a fairly benign late autumn day.

[Sceptical]

Sunday should see an ice day for quite a few places in Scotland.

This looks pretty tasty for some of you lucky people:

 

Woah there. Looks like a hoolie for a short time right through the Central Belt on Friday night…..

[shuggee]

Three charts for ppn/850s during Friday PM:

[NorthernRab]

With snow on the horizon, I suppose the time has come for me to emerge from my annual summer hibernation. 

Let's hope for plenty of sneachd to grace us through the upcoming winter period!

[jellybaby1969]

Definitely no zonal pattern looking anytime likely..there could be a few surprises over the coming days n weeks. Glad to see winter startIng late November rather than march !!

[Quinach]

A wet start first thing but drying up by 9am and then a slow clearance to clear blue skies by early afternoon.

Cooler than of late with a max of 6c, down to 3c now so frost incoming.

Light to fresh W winds.

Well defined edge to the front that went through at the start of the day...

And another lovely sunset (back edge of the front again well displayed).
