Lovely autumn sunny day today.  No fog here this am, tops were clear too.  High of 14°, sat out during one of my breaks early pm and it felt quite warm in the sun.  Subtle, pastel colours in the sky during sunset.

[WillinGlossop]

Been blue skies and sunshine all day… clear and dewy first thing low of 3c at 7am… warmed to 16c… having windows replaced and painted… nice day for it… tomorrow and Monday aren’t looking as bad as was forecast a few days ago

Off to France in 4 weeks for three months… can’t wait… still 25-27c atm near Montauban where we’re staying… scouting mission

Soo.. no Xmas in Glossop Will?

[WillinGlossop]

Nope… French Xmas for us… back first week of February… will be on here and looking at glossop weather… me going away will probably mean the snowiest winter in glossop/ north west

Lovely morning with sun and clear blue skies. Not sure it's going to last over the weekend, but forecast of weather settling down again next week. 

[HafrenLMP1]

It was a lovely morning - just getting ready to go out for a bike ride....and now it's clouded over.....

[Rush2019]

Beautiful here, east Cheshire.  Considering the sun lacking in strength this time of year, it's certainly radiating some warmth if your directly in it, more than toasty warm in just a fleece, currently 14°.  Mid week next week looks to be a bit like today, mild to warm temps.  Thoughts of snow seem ages away on days like these.

I went out on my bike about half-an-hour ago and got wet with the first of the afternoon showers. Forecast and could see it coming as I hurriedly made my way home, but not welcome on a bike!

Not the best of days and this mornings drizzle was enough to stop me using early finish Friday to cut the grass, never mind the 30 minutes of heavy stuff as the narrow band came through.

hopefully the clearance shown on the radar will reach here shortly but it looks like the grass will have to wait although at this time of year, daylight and working full time limits my options so hopefully we get less showers than expected tomorrow followed by a dry Sunday.

Finding October so far as very average and tedious, all just a bit.... and...

Agree... booooring.. but with the hope Nov will deliver some kind of cooler periods

[weatherobsuk]

I almost got caught in the rainy squall-line which passed a hour ago alongside the showers on/off throughout the day, but luckily I did manage to find a clear slot to have a quick look at the Five Wells burial tomb near to Taddington. As the pictures show, we have had some sun today

Despite some chilliness, still waiting for that first 'nip in the air' type day of the new season, and the outlook suggests may take until latter part of October for that to happen. 

[Frost HoIIow]

A day of two halves here. Nice bright start then went gradually downhill since with showery rain, some heavy on and off from about 1pm. Looking further ahead and it looks like we've moved away from a chilly outlook until probably November now. Looking like this month will be another possibly ending up above average temp wise.

Yes looked promising not long ago that second half of October would bring colder than average temps, alas synoptics not played out - the theme of 2022, and despite an amplified flow, the dice has fallen on the side of mild, with cut off low to SW meandering around with no oomph in the jet to kick it NE.. 2022 just seems destined to never bring any cold in!

[severe snowstorm]

A sunny morning here, but clouded in for the afternoon with some showery rain at times. A mixed bag this weekend by the looks of it with Sunday looking to be the better of the days.

[Scuba steve]

Morning was a bit cheesy afternoon was usable with some warmth so got some tasks done

Irish Sea ice

Few pictures I took of Jupiter and Saturn when we had clear skies over the last few weeks

Gosh I wonder what caused that? Was that still part of the mini ice age? Might be mistaken but apart from inland rivers I don't think the sea froze over even in early or late 2010, if it did certainly not a mile out! The only ice we get these days is from the fridge! . After this summer I might have more luck growing olives and grapes than getting a proper cold spell again!

[Rush2019]

Min of 9° before cloud rolled in in the very early hours, could hear the rain hitting the window 2am.  Nasty band of rain out west at the moment soaking western parts of the region, may get a soaking doing mums shopping in a bit.

Early start for the train from Stalybridge to Wigan Wallgate. 

To the East its a beautiful dawn, to the West its grim

[iand61]

First band out rain has passed through here now and headed over the Pennines but it was heavy enough to wake me up as it was bounced against the windows by the wind.

Another area of showers is hard on its heals though so not out of the woods yet but hopefully a drier afternoon coming up followed by a better day tomorrow.

off out later this morning for a buy one get one free offer of an eye test followed by my Covid booster.

just a shame that the third part of the “showing my age” offer,  my flue jab was cancelled at the last minute.

 

[severe snowstorm]

A short spell of heavy rain moved through here first thing, but now largely sunny skies.
