Autumn 2023 - General Discussion

The spell was supposed to break down over the weekend but we somehow managed to squirm out of it for now. The 1st-2nd had wall-to-wall sunshine, the 3rd-5th cloudier but still plentiful sunshine, the 6th was cloudy but there was a surprise snowfall at night (was expecting showery rain) which was a fair trade-off and made it more enjoyable to sit in an outdoor hot pool, and almost unbroken sunshine again from the 7th until today, with today being particularly nice with no clouds. The first picture shows pink skies over a mostly frozen lake on Saturday, reminiscent of December 2022. It was a lot more vibrant than the picture suggests. The second picture is the northern lights overhead last night even with plenty of light pollution. I was unfortunately too busy to go to a darker spot where it would've been even better. The rest are from today.

Showing up on the met eireann radar now. Some heavy thundery showers about

Do ME look at their radar they have yellow for the South and South West but the worst of the rain now is in the West and North West

Loving the updates from Iceland. Keep them coming.

France and the South of England seem to be in the firing line with the current jet stream. One would think it may lead to a colder winter but who knows.

The trick is to always take your photos in landscape mode and never in portrait mode, if you intend to post your photo on Boards.

Yay I'll have a look out the next few nights, thanks 😊

There just breathtaking but I didn't get a full experience they where blurred etc but it's still something ,fingers and toes crossed we get more chances through out the winter

Small bit of ice on the windscreen of the car this morning. Nice surprise

So what are models looking like for the potential storm

Still a big spread in the 12z runs but ECM and AROME going for orange level winds right across the country and isolated red level in places. GFS now showing some wind but nothing of note really. And the other models are going for varying strengths mostly affecting the SE and E. Looks a nasty system that moves through quite quickly.
