A very unusual track for next weekend's slow, passing through the south of the UK into the northern France, then spiralling up over the low countries, back into the UK, down through it again before eventually clearing east. Ergo... as has been pointed out, a lot of rain. I think rain may be more notable than wind if the low is parked over the UK.

Morning!

No real change today. Looking for all the world that we will see our first named storm of the season sometime around next weekend.

The main models diverge on when the peak intensity of any winds from the low would be, as shown below. Could be any time from Friday to Monday!

The prospects into the following week aren't much better, with low pressure hanging around like an unwanted guest. Models showing 2-4 inches of rain in the next 10 days across large areas of the UK. Wet and windy the order of the day. Any improvement not likely until sometime around mid month at the earliest.

NOAA 500mb charts have been consistent for several days now, so its looking very much like an unsettled wet start to October is fairly certain...

Yup.... yet again the ops are following what the NOAA charts have long been suggesting..

That block to our northeast isnt going anywhere fast, so i for one completely agree that the first half of October is looking unsettled and wet, possibly very wet..

A major change from ECMWF ahead of the winter.

 

Can anyone summarise exactly what will become freely available ?  Can’t believe that the data which currently costs in excess of 100k per annum will suddenly become gratis !

In amongst all the unsettled carnage on the latest model output there are a few anticyclones swimming against the tide in the GEFS 6z but to be honest, those of us who prefer calm autumn conditions will have to roll with the punches as it looks like a generally very unsettled spell is about to descend upon us for some considerable time although that doesn’t preclude the occasional more settled interlude.

It seems so.

Early October will see the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) take a major step towards making hundreds of its forecast maps free and available to all. The changes are part of wider moves across Europe to make public sector data free and open, to encourage innovation and to support a thriving, data-based digital economy.

Charts will cover the whole world, all types of weather situations including extreme events, and, very importantly, will also include probability-based information, providing guidance on forecast confidence.

Up till now, full access to these forecast charts was restricted to the national meteorological and hydrological services of ECMWF’s Member and Co-operating States, World Meteorological Organisation members and commercial customers. Access was subject to a range of bespoke licences and often incurred charges.

I count about 4 posts on the models today, reaching new depths of inactivity in here at moment. No surprise because it's a repeat of recent days viewing, unsettled for all, very wet for some, possibly very windy for some, first storm of the season and cool as well.

I thought the theory of the October Fog leading to a cold winter was related to a big high pressure cell over the uk which ‘could’ migrate north or north east to provide blocking conditions for early winter?

Yes high pressure is needed for fog, OFI looks like it is going to get off to a shocker

Not only... I've had as many fog days from slack low pressure and neither high/low pressure setups. Some examples that have delivered fog here in recent years:

No sign of either in the models though, so we may have to wait a while. Seems to be mid October before lingering fog becomes a thing.

Yeah I read that .....still none the wiser .....

"Charts will cover the whole world, all types of weather situations including extreme events, and, very importantly, will also include probability-based information, providing guidance on forecast confidence" 

The move to open data appears to be at odds to other open data access where the access was to the data not the interpretation of the data. 

I wonder if this will pressurise the Met Office to follow suit

There’s no doubt that the low pressure heading our way could intensify but unusually, for this run at least, the GFS intensifies the storm over France on Saturday while the others suggest it will be over the UK on Monday.  Not much to say except at least it won’t be too cold.....   GEM had us right in the bullseye.

Yep, I think I mentioned something along the same lines in this thread back in April/May time, and got an earful.

Rain is never far away in this Country, and that's certainly the case over the next 2 weeks.

I shall enjoy the last dry day today,with a lovely long walk with the dog.

Not half, 10117838637574653653 is a heck of a lot of rain.

Someone really has to sort the minimum spacing out on those charts

Well sure is a stormy wet period coming up.  Not sure I see the 5 consecutive named Atlantic storms, that was in some of the papers today, in this evenings output.  ECM take:

Looks to stabilise after two depressions?  Rainfall over the 10 days, GFS take, very wet for some:
