One more deep low, then high pressure playing a much more prominent part for the rest of the week ahead.

Storm Boelo pulls away after crossing northern Scotland at 948.1 hPa, just shy of the UK October record. Strong winds linger today, while the low that was once Storm Josephine brings more wind on Tuesday before high pressure builds from midweek.

The current stormy spell may owe less to El Nino than it seems, though it could raise the odds of more named storms later this year. The models are split over early November, while global temperatures have edged back to record highs and Antarctic sea ice has fallen to record lows.
