Autumn 2023

Tromso saw their last sunlight until the 15th of January today Sounds absolutely horrendous.

Quality bit of cloud and moon-age this evening:

I'm cynical about this. Is it really because of the "cold weather" or is it more to do with massively inadequate infrastructure with no funding to update?

The latter, obviously.

Looks like a very breif cold snap and almost no lowland snow. Given how recent seasons have been it wouldn’t surprise me if this is the only chilly spell all winter. Was good to see GFS earlier with temps to 13-15C by the middle of next week, hopefully this comes off. 

I am keeping my fingers crossed. Anyway, today was nothing like the Arctic weather on forecast....

Evening everyone.

Well sadly we’re in the dying days of autumn 2023.

In my neck of the woods, most of the trees have now lost their autumn plumage, but I thought I’d share some of the photos that I’ve taken of the autumn colours at night!

I present to you… Autumn by lamp light!

It's looking like another great start to the winter season is on the cards. Some snow would be nice, but it's early days yet and I do love cold, crisp sunny days.

We are at that time of the year now where mild more often than not means overcast and on the unsettled side. We have had more than enough rain now as well as above average temps. 

I like seasonal weather, whatever the time of year.

Very nice.

Autumn seems to be the "shortest" season by far nowadays, at least, what's left of it does.

Caught a Moonbow!

A mixed autumn then, far stormier than many a recent one, but thankfully we have been spared flooding.

Agree. The former half tends to sort of just bleed into summer a bit, which is fine, but then the latter of half is purely hit and miss. 

Happy to see this week and a few days last week bringing properly chilly (and sunny) weather. 

Last year early December was also great for wintry feels...so could be worse for those of us who like seasonality!

Is that just on your phone!?

Does it bother anyone else when many tv weather reports say degrees rather than degrees Celsius which is what they mean. BBC do it all the time, international viewers must think we are Baltic when reporters are saying for example ‘it’ll be 5 degrees’ rather than saying it’ll be 5 degrees Celsius  which is the correct term ie 41 degrees farenheit, it really is irritating to me as 5 degrees is -15c 

We should do away with Celsius and use Fahrenheit only in my opinion.

To be fair it's only really the US that uses Fahrenheit, the rest of the world uses Celsius. It would be a terrible idea to revert back to Fahrenheit, people of my generation have only ever used Celsius.

I disagree, Celsius is much simpler freezing at 0c boiling at 100c, Fahrenheit is a bit 'messy' in my opinion.

Personally I’d prefer Fahrenheit, celcius is confusing but whatever, mostly I’d like weather reporters to use the correct terminology ie celcius or Fahrenheit not degrees

It's currently 274 kelvin here.

Kelvin confuses me so much, sounds very toasty ha

Not often i disagree on this forum... but degrees 'c' (Celsius) - is the way we do it in the UK - the freezing point of water is far better than the American alternative IMHO.

Color, neighbor, zuchini and basil pronounced Bayzil come to mind. 

But I'm still friendly

Down here in Sussex it seems to last from October to March.

Exactly. Only Americans would be confused.

Probably just running short of whatever they use to generate electricity again. We'll hear of this every winter now.

I remember years ago, the forecast always used to be in ⁰c apart from during a heat wave, when ⁰f was used lol. I'm talking when I was a kid.

Yeah it is indeed. Didn't come out as clear as I would have liked but happy to get a snap of the phenomena!

[Alderc 2.0]

lol 80 billions cold ramping MAD posts for a couple of chilly days and just a sprinkling of snow over the hills. I reckon we’ll see 18-20C recorded in December.

F doesn't even make sense to me. What does the zero mean for them? No idea. Same as it doesn't make sense to put the month before the day in writing down a date.
