Cuttlefish friend off Bournemouth beach last night 🦑
The bay is a popular breeding ground for them. I often see the eggs and newbies in the shelter of the few reefs out there.

The rookie mistake was not changing the law beforehand.

It’s been many months and several storms but still my favourite observation station is offline…perchance it got blown away last year?

What else is a weather geek to do?

The rain has stopped, the skies clear and the mercury falls. Perfect evening to be sat on a clifftop with only stars and waves for company. A rare treat with 4 planets visible too. #stargazing #astronomy #ukweather #winternights

And on the second day of Yule, the SecondHomes and AirBnBs shall be filled. Travellers from distant lands will don their gay apparel, and tread the provinces in search of festive cheer.

A very welcome clear day in south England. Our little island is usually spared the extremes of temperature. Our battle is with the endless weeks of grey clag without a glimpse of sun. #ukweather #sunrise #dusk #ocean #winterwatch

#StormBert starting to crash in to the south coast. The sea at that wave buoy is only about 6m deep. #ukweather

Light dusting of snow in Westbourne, Dorset.

Guessing there will be a run on such Antarctic-style survival foods like bread and milk.
