Has any one else seen the World Weather Presentation from the Japanese HNK Newsline TV channel ? I think its a marvellous presentation with nice graphics and detailed information. Worth a look. Makes the World BBC presentation look drab in comparison.

I prefer accurate forecasts than fancy graphics to be honest. Got a link for it?

I thought it was 3mph

To be fair evidence is building of a potentially significant event early next week... so while the Express is a joke even a stopped clock gets it right eventually and next week might be newsworthy for some parts.

No, no, no...that's just how fast it's storming across the Atlantic!

Ophelia is showing signs of changing track and hitting the UK just after the weekend - almost 30 years to the day since the Great Storm of 1987.

Is it?  there was a slight shift East  but it seems to thankfully missing us  but ireland copping it.

Even a 'broken clock' has a better record than the Express? It'd take rather for a long time for a storm-system moving at 3 mph to cross the Atlantic!

The only thing I have found about La Palma is that there have been hit by over 40 quakes in 48.  This was reported on 10th October on the science of cycles website.  http://scienceofcycles.com/canary-islands-panic-as-earthquakes-hit-la-palma-40-tremors-in-48-hours/

BBC monthly outlook

Monday 16 October—Sunday 22 October

Stormy start - more wind and rain later

The second half of the month begins with ex-hurricane Ophelia bringing a stormy day. Severe gales will spread to western coastal parts, with some disruption likely and gales will develop in many other inland areas later. At the same time, eastern England will be warm and bright. Gales will continue into Tuesday morning over the northern half of the UK but will decrease steadily. The south will have another mainly dry, bright and rather warm day while the north is cloudy with some showers. On Wednesday, most areas will be cloudy and there'll be some patchy, mainly light rain around. The second half of the week will turn very unsettled everywhere, with bands of rain crossing all parts, and there's the potential for further very windy episodes. Temperatures will also drop back towards average.

Monday 23 October—Sunday 29 October

Unsettled start and turning cooler

The last full week of October will begin on a very unsettled note. There will be periods of rain and some strong winds likely. The week's weather will keep an unsettled flavour but there will be lengthier drier, clearer periods as the week goes on. Should the winds fall light overnight, a couple of cold starts are likely, with local frost and patchy fog but rain and wind are likely to return for a time especially to the northwest.

Monday 30 October—Sunday 12 November

Prospect of some settled autumnal weather

Heading into early November, the weather pattern looks set to remain in a rather unsettled mood, with occasional spells of wind and rain but also some drier and brighter intervals. As the fortnight goes on, so a more settled spell is expected to develop although the northwest may hang on to mild conditions with cloudy, breezy weather and some rain. Elsewhere, higher pressure promises a much drier period with lighter winds and it will turn rather chilly at times. Overnight fog and frost will also become much more likely.

Next week

The change to more settled weather is far from certain, will we see frost and fog set the tone for early November?
