Another widely wet and very windy spell incoming Changes afoot though Winds easing and turning drier later this week..especially in the south..fog a possibility

Further line convection showing up on tonight's cold front sweeping eastwards across England and Wales tonight..timings below.. Line convection = narrow bands of rain embedded in the front with additional intensity, and gusty winds

Further wind warnings issued Gusts up to around 70mph More details... #weatheraware www.metoffice.gov.uk

As Storm Boelo exits stage right, the next deep area of low pressure waits in the wings stage left..further 🌧🌬 to come Monday into Tuesday 70+ mph wind gusts once again possible in the N of the UK Further warnings issued for this.. #weatheraware on X www.metoffice.gov.uk

Hold on in there, in 57 days time the days start getting longer again Only around 45 days until the earliest sunset #endofBST

Significant weakening of the SPV stratospheric polar vortex signalled short term..then perhaps a resurgence.. One to watch

Storm Boelo...

Line convection just passing through here in SE Devon.. quite a lively little band..these maintaining some organisation as they feed E across England this evening..

As expected hints of line convection developing on cold front arriving from the west...

Strongest winds still to come in the north Already 75mph though...

Rain couldn't have arrived at a better time.. The total reservoir storage for the South West Water area is at 30% on 22/10/2026. This time last year, storage was at 50%

Signs of line convection on this evening's cold front Narrow bands of intense rain with gusty winds

The jetstream (red arrow pic 1) left exit (pic2) engaging with storm Boelo helping it to strengthen The jet much further north now though than with storm Austen yesterday (pic3), hence its more northerly track & hence its impacts being felt more across the N of the UK this time

Storm Boelo sitting to our NW Tuesday's wet and windy weather gathering in the NW Atlantic 🌬🌧

Plenty of weather warnings issued for Storm Boelo next 36hrs or so Further wind warnings for the north Tuesday as another deep low pressure system arrives #weatheraware www.metoffice.gov.uk

Storm Boelo sweeping in next 24hrs Yet another spell of wet and very windy weather then expected into Tuesday

Lots of weather warnings remain out today for Storm Austen and have been issued this weekend for Storm Boelo #weatheraware www.metoffice.gov.uk

Wind gusts likely to ramp up quite suddenly from the W here 'SW' UK later tonight

This...

The jetstream (red) cutting across Storm Austen this evening Cold, unstable air on the jet's northern side digging in from the NW, helping to create the vigorous hook cloud circulating around the storm centre, along with the strongest wind gusts which arrive in the coming hrs

Channel Islands expecting wind gusts around 85mph tomorrow.. www.gov.je/weather/

Double trouble Storm Austen and Boelo gathering out west A third low pressure system then perhaps affecting the UK early next week

Storm Austen on its final approach to the UK..

Storm Boelo set to be another very deep area of low pressure in the NE Atlantic this weekend ~945hpa

More on Storm Boelo.. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Storm Boelo named for this weekend, hot on the heels of Storm Austen ..

Quite a change to the forecast depth of the low pressure system lying to the NW of the UK this Saturday on UKMO model output 968hpa 2 days ago to 948hpa currently

The Atlantic jet stream is firing up with remarkable rapid cyclogenesis showing its hand next few days Developing Storm Austen deepens 1004 to 980hpa (24hpa) in just the next 18hrs or so Meanwhile, the next low to affect UK this weekend deepens 999 to 948hpa (51hpa) in 24hrs

Storm Austen brewing to our SW .. arriving later tomorrow

A warm front wave forming from the low off the E US coast sweeps east to become Storm Austen Friday Another low may spawn from this W Atlantic low to bring further strong winds, especially to N UK this weekend Then the W Atlantic low itself may sweep east and brush NW UK Monday

Super typhoon Champi is a monster...

Very early stages of development of what's set to become Storm Austen this week

Developing Storm Austen just set to qualify as a rapidly deepening low pressure system as it approaches the UK later this week Central pressure fall of 24hpa in 24hrs 1005hpa 00Z Thu-981hpa 00Z Friday 🌬

Batten down the battens on the hatches (😉) End of the week likely to be the windiest we've seen for a while 🌬

Last night was the coldest of the Autumn so far for the UK...

1040.4 hPa at Tulloch Bridge on Saturday morning makes this the strongest high pressure over the UK in October since 2018 — and in Scotland since 2016. Several sites with ~30 years data have set new October MSLP records in S'ern Scotland, N'ern England & Northern Ireland. @alexdeakin.bsky.social

After the extreme flooding event in Valencia in October 2024 caused by an upper atmospheric low pressure system, @AEMET_Esp started naming these 'DANA's Recently named Dana 'Adam' is set to bring some heavy rain and thunderstorms to SE Spain and S France from Saturday

As I've been suggesting in recent weeks, and as might be expected given El Nino and it's teleconnections now we're moving towards 2nd half of Autumn, just starting to see some interesting weather model output for next week and beyond Something to keep 👀 on for potential 🌬🌧

High pressure and clearer skies incoming from the west A fine but cool weekend for many Showers in the SE though

👂➡️ reset to default

This weekend's combined surface pressure/upper atmospheric level height chart a great example proving that looking at surface level features alone can be misleading High pressure looks dominant across the UK, but the green blob in the SE signals an upper atmospheric disturbance/a chance of showers
