To all other weather accounts out there..never feel afraid to post on twitter through fear of receiving harsh, often unjustified comments. If you've got the evidence to support your point your views and opinions are as important and relevant as any one elses 👍 🌞❄🌦🌈🌡🌩🌨☁️

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

A fan of the clocks going back? This is giving us an extra hour of light in the morning due to the earlier sunrise, but sunset is now one hour earlier in the evening, hence getting darker earlier.. What do you prefer?

Whilst we're struggling to replenish our water stocks here in many parts of England, further north in parts of Scotland they're struggling to get rid of it..

Laggan dam in the Highlands of Scotland today at full discharge after 24 hours of torrential rain. This is what 1.62 million litres (428,000 gallons) per second looks like. Video by Mark Trigg.

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%

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

1/2 Now that the El Nino seems to be having an influence on our later Autumn (into early winter) weather, bringing an increased chance of wet and windy +NAO patterns, it's interesting to have a look into the likely teleconnections for later winter.. See 2/2

2/2 Research suggests late winter teleconnections on UK weather depends on strength of El Nino During strong events as now mid Atlantic high pressure is favoured & cold N'ly based wind flow bias During moderate events high to N, low to SW of UK gives -NAO cold E based flow bias
