Hello Bluesky - I suppose I had better put somewhat of an introduction together considering the flurry of followers I’ve had! I’m an avid weather nut and will post anything that interests in me that regard so feel free to follow if that’s what you want to see 😂
Aurora prospects for tomorrow night are certainly a bit scuppered by the cloud and rain forecast - we will just have to see how it plays out 😂

Lots going on with the Sun and some aurora to be had soon by the looks of things - various CMEs over the last few days and a very fast CME from the Sun just after 10 UTC this morning from an X5.1 (!) flare. I'm sadly stuck on a field class till Friday but will keep an eye out!

Not the favoured outcome by any means, and I’m mostly posting this for fun (and my own interest in “unseen” model extremes), but the GFS 18Z has an historic major SSW on 26 November.
This would be the earliest in reliable records, beating 28 Nov 1968.

The environmental science degree is kicking in this afternoon - soil sampling in torrential downpours 😵💫

X1.79 flare from Earth-facing AR4274 just after 0730 UTC this morning with a possible full halo CME to accompany it - hopefully this CME is a bit more interesting than the duds earlier this week.

A fruitful storm damage site investigation at Milford on Sea following reports on 1st Nov c. 12:15am of damage to homes.
A narrow 800m long damage track was found from the sea front extending across the E of the village. Provisional rating T1. Report to be written in due course.

The current very mild period for November is showing up nicely on the annual Central England Mean Temperature graph for this year - November is currently 6.2°C above the 1961-1990 CET average and 5.2°C above the 1991-2020 CET average.

How many troughs for you good sir?

It's the time of year when everyone starts looking at every model run, you start remembering when model means drop and the inevitable race for any substantial cold that somehow gets let down by a shortwave at the last hurdle. Rinse and repeat every year - like Stockholm syndrome

Momentum pumped into the atmosphere by a +EAMT (East Asian Mountain Torque) event will extend the Pacific jet and allow wave breaking downstream, likely leading to blocking developing to our W. The idea of how cold or mild it may get will likely be based on more 'local' factors (i.e. trough to SW).

Have a fantastic evening everyone - if a CME will arrive it will be now 😂

The HUXt model shows just how busy it has been in terms of solar activity - lots of random features and arrivals expected over the next few days. It'll be important to keep an eye on things (aka keeping my eyes glued to a screen 🤣)

First CCOR-1 coronograph imagery is slowly trickling out of the latest flare earlier tonight but seems to confirm the idea that the bulk of this CME is headed away from Earth although there may still be a slight component headed towards Earth.

Very eruptive M8.65 flare from the Sun - bulk of the ejecta seems to be headed northward but can’t dismiss an Earth bound component.

The @uniofreading.bsky.social HUXt model goes for arrival at 0856 UTC on Friday morning (suspect it may be pushed a bit earlier) with a speed of 809 km/s. This, in conjunction with influence from a coronal hole, could make for an interesting geomagnetic storm if all aligns well (G3/G4?).

Another 8 UK sites broke November high daily (09-09) min temperature records this morning..29 in the last 2 days
With 14.8C at Chivenor N Devon, it's only 0.1C below the England Bonfire night highest daily min temp record, and 0.2C below the similar UK record set Colwyn Bay 1938

For no particular reason at all, here's the aurora that occurred 2 years ago on the 5th of November.

🌊 Today is #WorldTsunamiAwarenessDay
While 5 Nov is known for Guy Fawkes Night in the UK, globally it’s a day to raise awareness of tsunami risk.
At NOC, we're advancing detection & resilience, from tide gauges to fibre optic sensing.

There may be a slight Earth-directed component from the M7.4 flare that occurred this morning from AR4274, although evidently the bulk of it is headed NE away from Earth. If this region can sustain what it's doing then we might be in for a nice treat if it doesn't give up! 😂

I've spent the last few days going through this absolute maximum temperatures list and finding sources for nearly every single year (bar 1882) and adjusting temperatures/locations accordingly. Most are minimal adjustments, although the biggest was in 1909, from 33.3°C to 30°C.
