What does 4th December have in store I wonder 🤔

In the HadUKP series for the "NW England and north Wales" region, Saturday 20th September 2025 was the 7th wettest day in the whole dataset back to 1931.

For a two-day event, Friday 19th/Saturday 20th falls to 12th place, but is the wettest two-day period since Christmas Day/Boxing Day 2015.

looks to be the case Trev. Funny you mention the hurricane season, as the remnants of Tropical Storm Dexter may get pulled towards the UK by the weekend (but quite uncertain).

pretty good for UK standards 😁

thanks Richard - unfortunately I was still in the U.S. when that event occurred, but I haven't come across any significant reports other than a few instances of flooding and lightning strikes. I was told that there was rotation evident in velocity data though

yes, fingers crossed! 🤞

and now I've just seen Nebraska 🤯🫨

My turn tomorrow, 5:20am alarm set 🤯 missing the Plains already… 🥺

fingers crossed for a decent event later this week! 😊🤞

An hour earlier, the same supercell thunderstorm moved through Gruver TX, with the tornado sirens blaring across town as Emergency Alerts ring on our mobile phones

I cobbled this graphic together back in 2022, so it hasn't been updated with recent years and may not necessarily reflect UK-wide trends... but it is interesting to see spring rainfall trending more "extreme" in East Anglia — either wet or dry, but more often on the dry side

many counties were in the top 5 for TMax, but as you mention the cold nights certainly brought the average down, especially across southern UK
