    We had snow yesterday morning here in the Pennines - about a centimetre thick and looking lovely as I opened the curtains, really setting the day off in a good mood.

    Then I put the news on ...

    Rain overnight cleared it all away, and temperatures have lifted from 1 - 3 on Tuesday and Wednesday to 6 today; and lots of lovely sunshine so far today.

        Peerless November day oop 'ere. Brilliant light, faded colours, gaunt and exhausted trees after a battering, and the short town Remembrance ceremony outside.

            The temperature has just now reached a pretty remarkable 16 degrees Celsius here, with the sun doing its best to break through a couple of cloud layers. That's 5 degs. C above the mid-November normal - not a record, but the equivalent in July would be baking hot! I've decided to cycle the 6-odd miles over to Cadogan Hall for some afternoon jazz, a free-entry gig as part of the London Jazz Festival, and I think for the first time I can remember for November, I shan't be needing the cape on, just carrying it in the back pack as "insurance" against it raining.

              Seems quite incredible weather this year. Saw a news item that this year has broken records of last, globally.

                I think they were saying that six out of the last ten years had averaged record-breaking high temperatures worldwide, BBM.

                  Hefty, chilling sweeps of fierce rain and wind biting the tops between shafts of low bright sun. Temperature dropped a good 5C since 10 a.m.

                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        Billow after billow of rain on strong NW winds surfing the fells, rendering fells invisible until the next wave breaks.
                        Been a VERY wet 48 hrs.

                          It appears that there may have been some sort of tornado in the Aberystwyth area - lots of trees down, roads blocked. Expect it'll be on the lunchtime news.

                            And we now have sleet / snow on west facing N. England fells in the last hour.

                              Lightning has been reported east of Epping just now, and a helluva lot of lightning activity is now taking place around and to the south of Norwich; but it looks as if here we are going to be getting away with it this time: winds gusting at around gale force with leaves flying accompanying a line of large cumulus just now making its way east across the capital, beyond which I can only see clear skies.

                                Very gusty in central London at lunchtime,but the promised rain held off while I was there.
                                Heading back to the outback,it is lovely clear blue skies over Woking.....
