One to replace the previous pinned post - there’s a whole load of weather on this page so feel free to stick around if you want to with a sprinkle of aurora whenever that peps up. I hope this picture of me and a goose from this morning is suitable for now!

Dire, horrendous, grim - anyone else have any other words to describe this evening?

It’s vitally important that you stand on the correct side of any bridge when a steam train comes along

A picture of the setup at the London Weather Centre in 2009 before it closed in February 2010, one of the more random things I've found in the Met Office digital library archive.

Long lasting, large contrails here in Reading this morning - ready to fuel any conspiracy nutter around

Windy and warm on Tuesday as this low develops to our west - maximum temperatures look like they may reach the mid-to-high 20s (lower risk), although it'll largely depend on the positioning of the low. If things turn a bit flatter (i.e., the low further east), it'll be cooler.

The decaying cold front that’s given some spectacular sunsets further west has given precisely nothing here in Reading 🤣

AROME has 26ºC in parts of Kent today - we will see how it comes to fruition but definitely looking rather warm for this time in September.

If you are here in Reading and can see me in the next 25 minutes at the SMPC in Chancellors - go for it

It could be rather close to a date record - depending on which reading you go off, the record for the 23rd of September is 28.4ºC in Loughborough in 1895. The climate return for Stratfield Turgis lists the readings as 'manifestly unreliable', so I have discarded the 30.6ºC.

Fresher air is arriving, with temperatures settling closer to average London and parts of the southeast hold onto the warmth a little longer, with highs reaching 27-28°C on Friday before turning fresher on Saturday Expect chilly starts, followed by warm afternoons ❄️👉🌡️

Beautiful atmospheric morning here in the Lakes Blencathra starting to clear, it should be a lovely afternoon! #LakeDistrict

Recon just flew into Hurricane Polo and found a pressure of 889.3 mb. This is unbelievable. That makes Polo the SECOND STRONGEST EPAC HURRICANE EVER. Official pressure awaiting dropsonde, but this is a historic, top-tier storm.

Still some way out from the centre of #Polo but NOAA3 has already measured 101kt FL winds with a pressure of "only" 979mb. Using that ratio and a presumed pressure of ~900mb would yield 180-190kt FL winds! Let's see what recon finds next in #Polo!

Cloudier sunset than I had hoped but has been warm, exceeded 25°C in Reading this afternoon.

The grass hasn’t bounced back everywhere just yet - this is a field in Earley and a lot of it still looks pretty decimated

#ukweather posting hiatus is over😁 1/ Monitoring Wed 23/09 for some squally showers and thunderstorms from the Irish Sea through Wales and into eastern parts of England as moist unstable air is drawn NE ahead of an ESEward advancing cold front. A focus could be across parts of E Mids into East Anglia where dry mid-level air wraps ahead of the front allowing surface heating, and thus instability, to maximise here by noon to promote more robust developments. Main hazard likely to be gusty winds up to 45mph given likely upscale growth of convection into linear multicell clusters.
