Despicable Weather

Nice and first fork now

Rinse and repeat here with added gusty wind, rain slowing already and few rumbles.

WOO HOO!! Had short heavy burst of rain accompanied with a few claps of thunder, not seen any lightning but just had an almighty loud clap with rumble Rain has already stopped and now just the odd quieter rumble. That was an exciting 90 seconds

@Arnie Pie first off, thank you so much for your webcam, it certainly captures NCL's far sooner and more frequently than down 'ere in the SE. With regard to the pic last night, I would agree with you. Having zoomed in to it there are no signs of NLCs on it, just very high and dispersed contrail or cirrus, that is based on my photograpy of NCLs and viewing opps in both the far NW and SE, so of course it is just my opinion be it right or wrong

Just saw one big sparky flash followed by long low rumble of thunder!

Yeah I thought that was the case and it's unfortunate but no harm in asking. Many thanks for the confirmation.

How can I UNDO the 'Mark forum as read' speech bubble icon on the left hand side, please? Accidentally hit that icon ages ago on the Regional Discussions and now have done the same thing on the 'Weather Discussion - Winter' heading, now all threads in that section have no speech bubble icon to tap on to be taken to the first unread post Tried to click the same place again and nothing happens let alone the return of the extremely handy speech bubble icons!

High pressure delivered some lovely views around the region this morning after frosty foggy night, good to see the pics and thanks for sharing Last night dipped down to -4.9°C at 1:21 Think it was the foggy moments that caused the varying temp until 8am when graph shows a rapid increase, however that meant it reached the dizzy height of 3.7°C at 15:07 Currently we are dropping sub-zero again and are back to Temperature -0.5°C Humidity 96% Dewpoint -1.1°C Wind NNE Barometer 1014.4 hPa & Steady Not looking forward to the return of mild crud!

Temperature -0.2°C Humidity 93% Dewpoint -1.2°C Wind NNE Just gone sub-zero in the frost hollows around the Chilterns, should be a cold one and may even be freezing Fog overnight if the Metro warning turns out to be correct

Overnight Low Temp of -2.5°C @ 5am Gave a glittery ground, grass, cars and rooftops to greet the morning sunshine. Current temp is 5.3°C but with overcast skies so can't see a repeat happening by morning, unfortunately!

Too late to edit post but here is image instead

It's a brilliant sound especially tucked up indoors! Quite racy and the division shows nicely on here https://www.xcweather.co.uk

MISTY morning 3.4°C at 07:24 1021.9 hPa & Steady Hopefully someone else sees it and can grab a photo, I overslept and must dash to the shower!

One day later and the map for 19th October is showing some difference, looks like the Alps snow cover has reduced albeit not by a huge amount by the 19th. A few days of images and heavy rainfall could show a different picture entirely! We shall see.

Crikey the above link for SevereWeatherEU is showing heavy rainfall indeed. The following graphic shows the snow cover in the Alps for 18th Oct. (current) and I just viewed that and thought the Alps were looking much healthier, then I saw your post @J10 So it will certainly be interesting to see the graphic over the coming days and how it may change now that we are nearing the end of the predicted rainfall for 19 -21 October.

An a third more crackling sound to the rumble here, does sound further away though

Ooh and another loud bangy rumble right now, sounds great even if just a Sound Show

Yeah looked at blitortung first as didn't see any lightning, so looks like just thunder in these parts

Heavy rain and menacing wind, sounds and looks on radar like a squall line coming up from the South and has just produced loud rumbling thunder!

European Snow Cover pulls it's data from IMS @ NOAA, it does however appear to be updating 1 day (approx) behind the usual NHemisphere map, so the current one today is for 06 October 2019 and shows the recent snowfall over Norway, Sweden, Finland and Western Russia very nicely : For comparison here is the snow cover for the previous year on the exact same day 06 October, 2018 Iceland is also a marked difference and appears to have a significant reduction this year, as do the northern areas of Sweden and Finland. It will be interesting to see how the snow cover waxes and wanes during the course of this month as we head further through Autumn.
