Lovely day. Felt cold this morning with a hint of frost early doors! @Mair Snaw shouting about 'Snaw!" has fair put me in the mood

Cool and sunny here today:

The GFS looks like this today, it's not going to stay sunny in the west at least.

 

I saw a post in the model thread suggesting we were in for a drenching over the next couple of weeks in Glasgow. About 80-100mm in a fortnight.

Yesterday, despite intermittent cloud banks rolling in, the temperature got up to a high of 9.2⁰C, which we’ve already exceeded now with 9.8⁰C up from a minimum of 6.1⁰C at 08:19, humidity is 85%, wind between 0 and 11mph west-northwesterly, pressure is 1015.4hPa and rocketing upwards, there’s been 2.0mm of rain in the early hours of today and 2.6mm in the last 24 hours, cloud cover is 5/8 although we’re currently in bright sunshine.

Got up yesterday for my first full day back to the (new and very posh) office, put on my nice new frock and my flip flops (basically all I've worn on my feet all year other than my walking boots). Walked outside to get car and lazily drive to the station and.... "oh bloody hell it's all iced up". Ran back indoors, dug around in wardrobe, found tights and proper office shoes, spent rest of day tottering around like a toddler dressed up in her mum's clothes. I can no longer walk in heels so will never be taller than 5.1, flat shoe shopping this weekend. 

Not as cold today but still cooler than it has been so fire's on.

Bit of a rubbish day today, but nothing to do with the weather, which was fine. Spent the morning mainly coughing up sludge from my lungs and the afternoon catching my breath from the morning’s exertions. No appetite, sats rubbish, and feeling very tired and shivery, but I didn’t realise how unwell I was feeling until I heard myself on the phone turning down an evening  at the pub. However, a couple of hours in the west wing listening to the marvellous Simon Mayo on the wireless doing his Friday thang and downing a few beers in front of the fire has perked me up.

Temperature got up to 12.1⁰C at 15:10 dropping to 5.8⁰C now, humidity is 91%, wind stayed mainly light, pressure is up to 1019.2hPa and still rising, no further rain and cloud cover remained around 5/8 until sunset.

Temperature fell sharply this evening after skies cleared and wind dropped out Now 1.5c with a very noticeable ground frost on domestic grasses Frostguards near water tanks have been triggered for first time this autumn.

[Quinach]

It's a lot later in the month than usual, but finally the weather alarm has pinged to indicate that we have the first subzero temperature this autumn...

All thanks to a lovely afternoon of clear blue skies, with just a few Cirrus clouds.

Max of 7.9c with light to fresh NW veering W winds. 

Back to late summer again next week going by the Met Office forecast (15c forecast on Wed, good going for the end of October).

[Sceptical]

Greetings!

-2C at 0500, had to break out the ice scraper.

The much-vaunted yellow weather for rain has, as of 7pm, come to pass as it’s now raining.

High temperature was 13.5⁰C at 14:11 up from a low of 7.7⁰C at midnight, humidity bottomed out at 74% at 14:30 down from a high of 94% at midnight and now 88%, wind 3 to 17mph southerly, pressure is now 1011.2hPa falling slowly, there’s been 0.6mm of rain so far today and 1.0mm in the last 24 hours and cloud cover was generally 8/8 except around lunchtime when the sun came out for an hour.

Howling gale tonight but no rain so drying things up again but milder at 11c.Autumn well and truly here. Ground at depth still very dry

Temperature currently 12.8c, overnight low was -0.6c, daytime high of 12.9c and it’s hovered between that and 11.4 since around midday. Wind has been getting up and predominantly coming from a north westerly direction, I suspect the trees may shed some leaves by daylight.

It was a pleasant day for walking the dogs, not that I went far as three are a bit too much to handle on my own, especially when they all choose to go in different directions.

[Quinach]

A day to enjoy a study of grey.

Brisk southerly wind, dry and mild with a max of 13.0c.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Well, I wouldn’t really call that a yellow warning event. Half an inch of rain? I think we must have been on the margins.

Highest temperature today so far was 14.2⁰C at 11:00 up from a low of 11.4⁰C at 00:45 and now 13.4⁰C, humidity is 84%, wind 1 to 15mph south-southwesterly, pressure is 1005.3hPa steady, there’s been 11.2mm of rain since midnight and 14.2mm in the last 24 hours, cloud cover is 4/8 with clouds mostly to the north and clear sky mostly to the south.

[snowidea]

Showers and sun today, quite warm too. Autumn colours looking beautiful. 

[Quinach]

Lovely day.

Light to moderate southerly winds, dry and plenty of sunshine in the afternoon bar some rather photogenic high-altitude cloud...

Very mild again with a max of 14.1c; still 11c outside at the moment.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Today was mostly sunny with some cloud always present but no further rain until the last hour or two. 12.4mm of rain since midnight and 13.2mm in the last 24 hours. High temperature was 14.8⁰C at 15:06 and the low was 9.9⁰C at 21:25. Pressure is now 1003.2hPa steady and the wind has remained light all day.

[SW Saltire]

Getting closer to the more exciting time of the year. Late spring/Summer is always fantastic but my enthusiasm for the usual mild cloudy August - October period in Western Scotland is limited.

Going to get very wet down here by the end of play on Wednesday, yellow warning already out (the second in under a week)

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Cold dismal here with windchill in the wind 3c and it feels it, hefty showers passing through with the odd hailstone thrown in. Max 7.7c

[Puffy MacCloud]

Highest temperature of the day was 11.5⁰C at 13:32 sinking to the lowest of 7.3⁰C at 18:40 now back up to 8.8⁰C, wind varied from 4mph to 20 mph generally southwesterly, pressure is 1008.2hPa rising slowly, there’s been 7.2mm of rain today from cloud  cover between 5/8 and 8/8.

[MattStoke]

Planned to climb Ben Nevis and the Aonachs next monday. Not liking the look of this morning's ECM output.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Wet and windy, that’s about it.

Temperature up to a high for the day of 14.3⁰C from a low of 8.5⁰C at 06:10, humidity is 87%, wind generally 6 to 11mph south-southwesterly with a maximum gust of 19mph, pressure is 1003.0hPa falling slowly, it’s currently raining with a total of 8.4mm today and 12.8mm in the last 24 hours, and cloud cover is a dense 8/8.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Temperature got up to a high of 14.9⁰C at 17:41 and rainfall increased to 9.0mm today so far. Apart from that, it stayed dull and windy, but no more dull nor windy than earlier.

The Euro4 always overestimates totals these days but jeeeeezuz!!!

Is that me under that lot????

[Norrance]

Cloudy, windy and dry for now though there was a little light rain earlier. A ridiculous 15C  for this time in the evening in late October.

15c here at the moment as well - and the warmest it has been all day!

That temperature trend well shown at this nearby weather station...

Very wet morning, the rain stopping around 1pm to leave a cloudy afternoon with the temperature noticeably increasing as the afternoon wore on.

Moderate SW winds.
