Have to agree - the last few mornings have been so cold cuts have opened on chapped knuckles - not a good harbinger for winter, when this always happens, regardless of lotions of various types copiously applied.Originally posted by DracoM View Post...............but NOW, all fells invisible, wall-to-wall cloud, mist and drizzle.

It should warm up quite a bit in most areas as next week goes on, assuming one believes in the forecasts!Comment

The combination of sun and the wind lessening and going round to a warmer direction have made for a very pleasant day today, just right for getting round town for the Heritage Open Days visits - and an unexpected and delightful trip on an open-topped vintage bus.
A welcome improvement on the past couple of days, especially Thursday which only just managed to get into double figures for daytime temperatures.Comment

I've had to skip London's open day house events today, to make way for any unpredicted after-effects from an injection, not that I was expecting them, but one never knows... Tomorrow looks good; Peckham really seems to be pushing the boat out this year; I may well pop over tomorrow for the arts exhibitions, and try out a new rooftop cafeteria which has been getting plaudits.Originally posted by oddoneout View Post

My home town made a big effort this year, producing its own leaflet and schedule to supplement the entries in the main county HOD booklet. As it was produced nearer the dates it meant that additional venues and events could be included, they were available in more places and also, being locally produced, supplies could be topped up if they ran out. It was interesting to see so many people with the paper versions and evidently finding them useful for planning their visits, even though all the information was also of course available on the gadgets attached to their hands... A really nice atmosphere round town with folks of all ages enjoying the weather, older residents reminiscing about people, buildings, businesses prompted by displays in some of the venues and children doing the activities laid on in some places.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post

S.Cumbria - as I post, no horizons, just dense wall-to-wall whiteness - fells, horizons engulfed in dull, murky wetness. Temps close to 5C.Comment

Someone earlier posted on the ukweather site saying he was experiencing the densest Lakeland drizzle he had ever seen in all his years of living there! Here the sky's turning milkier by the minute in advance of that same weather system, which is predicted as too weak to produce anything in the way of precipitation by the time it arrives later today. Temperature is supposed to be reaching 20C - I have my doubts.Originally posted by DracoM View PostComment

Got to over 19 here after lunch, but increasing cloud cover(albeit high and light) knocked that back a little as the afternoon has gone on. A large wet mass is heading in roughly this direction and the forecast suggests a possibility of light rain, but there is still time for it to do the usual - split up and pass just north and south of here. Never mind, still a very pleasant day to be out for the last HOD event, not least for a short drive through some pretty countryside which, thanks to underground power cabling and the trees still in full leaf, shows few signs of the clutter of modern life.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

It is turning out lovely again following yesterday's rather disappointing cloudy afternoon. At this time of the year I start wondering how many more opportunities remain for long cycle rides.

But not quite so bad if you have had a (rare) good day beforehand?Originally posted by DracoM View Post....then sun goes down, and temp drops sharply.

Rainfall records have been broken by staggering amounts in the S Germany and Austria region - much as had been feared when Storm Boris was predicted, a week ago. One has to feel for populations in that huge land area between Croatia and Poland, wondering how they will be able to recover. Goodness knows what would be the consequences of such a sequence of weather events happening here... one has to say such a situation would fortunately be difficult to replicate for the UK since the extreme temperature contrasts between adjacent air streams in SE Europe are dependent on large continental land mass wind sources and affected by very different land topographies, namely the Alps and Carpathians.Comment

While to all intents and purposes we are unlikely to get anything as bad as the above-described, make the most of the next 4 days as a thundery breakdown looks likely to come late on Friday, leading into Saturday; after which the weather reverts to changeable, customary moist west-south-westerlies, and temperatures back to where one would expect them to be at the end of September.Comment
