Definitely breezier here today, wasn’t too bad when I went out with dogs at 6 o’clock this morning, but picking up and rattling around the house now. But it’s blue skies and sunshine, so not too bad at all 

Wow its still as anything here today, we had strong winds saturday night and yesterday.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Well, that rain that was only meant to affect the south coast is a lot further north than forcast I knew it would be the models where all over the place

^^ Can't edit the above (you don't get long nowadays!!) but apparently RAF Typhoons were given permission to fly supersonic to intercept a Ryanair flight that was diverted to Stansted after a security alert.

Funny enough when I left my house yesterday there were air raid sirens going off , me and local residents just looked at eachover a bit bewildering and then carried on . Can't say I heard anything this morning though . A decent start here to the day with the sun shining and partially cloudy , it's now the weather for coat decision time in the morning to wear or not to wear , this morning  I went with to wear .

I have just finished my Futurelearn course on Meteorology, very interesting - I understand so much more about the weather now. As I said earlier it's free, runs for 4 weeks and repeated every so often, run bu Uni of Exeter with the RMetS and MetO if anyone fancies doing it next time around, Uni of Reading do one also. I've had to run though the final week at breakneck speed as I'm also doing a  3 week course on climate change from the Uni of Bergen which has overlapped by a few days. Quite often in the forum, people linked to Netweather articles as further reading!

Back to today, will the temp inside my flat has fallen below 20.c for the first time this autumn, the berries on the holly are red already. I know this is put down to conditions in spring and summer...but is that itself part of a bigger weather pattern I wonder?

No October Fog Index to report...yet!

"The width of the boom “carpet” beneath the aircraft is about one mile for each 1000 feet of altitude. For example, an aircraft flying supersonic at 50,000 feet can produce a sonic boom cone about 50 miles wide."
