    5pm Florida time, so 10pm in the UK. There could be special advisories and updates before then though. Englewood and Punta Gorda getting battered right now.

    Never seen so much lightning in an eyewall before. It's dying down a bit now according to Blitzortung (only the eastern eyewall is active at the moment).

    155mph, 936mb. On the threshold of Category 5.

    There was almost no disruption to the hurricane's core as it crossed western Cuba; looking at the satellite loops you'd think it hadn't made landfall at all. This means there is next to no need for the storm to reorganise before restrengthening. Also, the cold front arriving from the NW doesn't look like causing as much weakening as first thought (and the weakening will be even less significant if the track continues to trend eastwards), In any case, a Cat. 3 which has come down from Cat. 4 is usually worse than one which has come up from Cat. 2 ( they tend to be more mature hurricanes with larger wind fields - Katrina is the classic example here). Throw in a big slow-down in forward motion as Ian approaches the coast (perhaps even a stall) and you have the potential for both prolonged storm surge and prodigious rainfall. On the other hand, the wind field is still relatively small. I wonder if there's a chance of an EWRC before reaching Florida (which would expand it).

    That was awesome. The clarity of the images as the spacecraft approached was impressive.

    Getting a few Charley vibes looking at this storm. I think a lot will depend on how quickly it turns eastwards towards Florida; the sooner it happens the less likely it is to be weakened by increased shear to the north.

    It's been like October here for the past week. Had it been winter it would have been snowmaggedon. I'm resisting turning the heating on so badly.
  10. AderynCoch
    It's gone much colder here too. I'm wearing a jumper for the first time since spring and it's no longer warm enough to leave the window open throughout the day.

    Surprisingly you don't really get those massive tegenaria house spiders here. They do occur, but they're rare enough to make the local news when one is spotted (like here: https://bratislavaden.sk/foto-v-petrzalke-sa-objavili-velke-pavuky-ktore-mozu-narast-az-do-velkosti-13-centimetrov/ - one reaction basically translates as, "Which street? I might have to pack my bags."). I saw one on the wall outside my flat a couple of years ago but that's all. I say it's surprising because just about everything else here creepy-crawly-wise is more common (mosquitoes, hornets, large bugs, etc.).

    36C here with a hot breeze, perfect for drying clothes. It's not supposed to go below 23C tonight but after tomorrow's cold front temperatures should be more normal for the next few days (high 20s).

    Oddly enough parts of the UK had a drier July than some of the Gulf states thanks to an exceptionally rare rainfall event a few days ago (any amount of rain in the Gulf region at this time of year is very unusual). Doha copped at least 38mm. (by the way, you'll never guess who Al Jazeera's senior forecaster is) Rare July rain in Qatar as storms hit Gulf WWW.ALJAZEERA.COM Heavy downpours hit Qatar and other parts of the Gulf in unusual July weather.
  14. AderynCoch
    Definitely 2012. On the other end of the scale, 1995 was the best.
  15. AderynCoch
    27C and rising. Expect it to be about 30C by the end of the weekend.
  16. AderynCoch
    Equals the national record for Slovakia. Anyway, carry on.
  17. AderynCoch
    When you have to be out in it trudging around for a long time like I did today, yes. But that's not so common. Yesterday for example was hotter and didn't feel too bad. Anyway, the odd bit of discomfort is a small price to pay for reliable summery conditions. You don't have to take it but I will!
  18. AderynCoch
    I still prefer it to 17C and rain. Anyway, a strong cold front is passing through. Only 24C outside now.
  19. AderynCoch
    33C outside, 28C inside. Just had a cold shower after walking home and I'm sweating again already!
  20. AderynCoch
    Boiling here this week. A preliminary 38.8C today at Somotor (in the east) is a new record maximum for June in Slovakia. It could reach 40C there tomorrow. The highest temperature in the Bratislava region was 37C at Slovenský Grob (holder of the previous June record 38.2C in 2012).
  21. AderynCoch
    Biarritz yesterday went from a record-high of 42.9C to 22.1C in barely an hour and a half, including an 11.6C drop in just six minutes.
  22. AderynCoch
    Massive thunderstorm here but I need to sleep!
  23. AderynCoch
    Had a pretty intense storm move through last night. One minute it's calm, the next it's bucketing down with strong winds. I managed to take this still:
  24. AderynCoch
    Lots of beefy, thundery showers here today. Must have had at least an inch of rain.
  25. AderynCoch
    Crazy. 25C and sunny here at noon. Might reach 30C tomorrow. Snow feels like a distant memory right now! It's been a warm and thundery May here so far, in contrast to the last three (which could have easily passed for crappy Octobers).
