Looks like our best chance of nacreous clouds (polar stratospheric clouds) will be over the next 2 (possibly 3 days) best chances will be at sunrise or sunset. I am really not sure of ideal conditions and will probably take a big bit of luck to see them but I have my fingers crossed that at least 1 of us might get lucky enough  sunrise and sunset times for here over the next few days Thursday - 8:45 am , 3:48 pm Friday 8:44 am, 3:49 pm Saturday 8:44 am , 3:50 pm.

WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK
Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the Sun is just below the horizon. The clouds are illuminated from below and often glow in vivid colours.

Occasional snow showers in the first half of the day here and didn’t budge much above 2c so resembling January a bit more. -1c

Same in Caithness - car said 3C briefly early afternoon but was freezing again at dusk.  Cold one tonight. Winter (of a sort) is back.

Morning all!

@Kirkcaldy Weather I will be on the hunt for those nacreous  (Polar Sratospheric clouds) at sunset tonight! (Clear and widespread frost forecast for later)

Could it be!?  Is it actually happening!?

Thundersleet earlier!? 

Someone in here must be getting heavy snow at the moment!? 

I am getting very excited for everyone under that blob of sleet/snow! 

Enjoy if you are indeed seeing some snowfall.

Have a good day everyone.

4am 1.9°C and rain. 

Up at 6am and 0.4°C with massive snow flakes. 

2-3cms now and waiting for light before driving into Edinburgh. Couldn't cope with a blizzard in headlights just now, so sat in waiting with a lovely cuppa. 

My first snow of the season. Lovely jubbly.

It's odd because usually it comes from the west and piles up against that fence/hedge. This morning it's coming in from the east and piled up on the neighbour's side of the hedge. The A7 is oot there in that white stuff somewhere..

Just a hard frost in Caithness. Managed to park the car with the front almost under shelter so only the rear screen was iced up. And I must be getting old cos I have started using heated seats...

WWW.NETWEATHER.TV
Way up in the Stratosphere there is very cold air above us. It's causing excitement for those who watch such things as a precursor to a possible cold, winter spell. This air can produce Nacreous Clouds...
