Okehampton yesterday to run along the Granite Way… cloud base only 50m or so above ground. Looks dry and hot this week!

Not sure what gust strength was measured in Exeter, but #StormBert has had a right go at our fences - strongest winds for a long time.

GFS and EC sonde forecast at Exeter tomorrow at 9am. Interestingly more dry air at 3am in GFS, suggests more evaporative cooling potential. Thermodynamics only one factor though, depends also on dynamic forcing and precip rates

Its one of those few occasions in the SW where we could see snow... but fine margins again, cold rain if it pushes too far north, dry if too far south. Need optimal combo of precip intensity and cold undercut

In north Milton Keynes there has been some falling (and settling snow). Source; mum!

What on earth, blue colour between the clouds?! What is it??

Stubborn cloud sheet finally clearing, nice to see how meteorology on surface corroborates with satellite view!

Staying in Chester for long weekend so decided to drive to Llangollen today, lovely scenery and some great cafes in the town!

Impressive meteogram from EC for Exeter today... going to be interesting to see how much rain falls over next few days. Then followed by NW'ly, possible max's 14-15C with near freezing nights. Summer feels a long way away already!

After a pretty dry August (around 15mm in the gauge here), next few days Thu-Sat look interesting. Potential for some really heavy + persistent rainfall. Latest GFS/EC suggest widely 40-50mm.
A lot of run to run variability in how models resolve the vortex over Biscay as expected in this setup!

This mornings late summer run along #Exeter estuary…
Ground very dry. Only ‘big’ rainfall we had was 6/9th July. Disappointing one for storms, think we had a rumble in May.

Big fan of map visualisations so ended up buying this,, can tick off a lot of these places now!
