Things getting pretty lively down here in Jersey - currently F7 G50 due to increase in the next hour or two G8 to SG9 G60. Our lifeboat is currently out together with the Guernsey and French lifeboats searching for 2 people missing on board a vessel that was heading towards the Ecrehous at 6pm. Our search and rescue plane was also out but has made a crash landing in a field in the north of the island as it was experiencing difficulties. Thankfully, all 5 crew on board are reportedly safe and well but it does make me wonder at this time what on earth were the two people thinking heading out in this weather in the first place!

This mild weather and lack of any cold means I have had to cut the lawn again, can't remember ever cutting the grass in November before.

18.1mm of rain fell in total from that system, could see the totals rack up this week looking at the models.

 

Chilly morning 6.1C

[MP-R]

Chilly start after a minimum of 2.6C but lovely and sunny with no wind - makes a change. Tomorrow not looking too bad either after the early rain has cleared away to the east.

[Bristawl Si]

Well, what a contrast to yesterday.

Beautiful, sunny and v warm. Around 24c already. Forecast to hit 27c today.

[Mapantz]

It was a wet ol' evening yesterday! Travelling to Poole was a nightmare, flooding in a few places. 21.2mm fell here between about 4pm and 9pm - It got windy after the rain had cleared but it wasn't noteworthy to be honest.

 

Currently 10C and 

[ARTDEMOLE]

9.0c Sunny Some cloud about.

[Andy Bown]

Several firsts for this Autumn ; the first morning where the temperature kept dropping at sunrise before picking up again and the first evening where it will turn cold quickly before incoming cloud/rain raises the temperature overnight.

 

Stunning day today after an extremely wet weekend, November already at 38mm!

[Dorsetbred]

same I don't normally cut mine past early October its a little annoying to be honest because its also to damn wet to cut all the time

Similar sort of thing, I went out and raked the gravel back into a tidy covering

[Nights King]

chilly evening outside tonight if it wasn't for the cloud inbound we would easily see our first air frost but it isn't to be

 

3.8c

[karlos1983]

it is feeling cold out there, definitely a different feel to the weather. 

 

Just 4.2C at the moment

Pressure 999mb

 

Did any one see a really bright light as the sun was going down this evening to the South, I drive the same way everyday and have never seen it before, certainly to big to be a star, was just wondering if anyone knew what it was or saw it?

I saw it too! I believe I saw it the other day too but then it moved very slowly towards the west and I wrote it off as a helicopter hovering. I was amazed to see it again tonight. I guess it will be a star though.

[Snowkissed]

Nope, it is definitely not a shooting star, at least the two lights I have seen were not. Curious in deed

Shooting star? I have seen the same light last week when we had clear skies, tonight however was still light when I got home so didn't get chance to look

Where was this 'light' in relation to where the Sun was at the time you saw it? If it was to the left of the Sun as you look at it, it may have been Venus.

[karlos1983]

There's a joke there somewhere I'm sure of it, but I'll leave that!!

 

It was left of the setting sun for sure, So it may of been Venus? Cool. I'm no good with my planets, I'm just glad it wasn't Uranus.....

 

I'll get my coat.....
