There’s been fairly steady rain overnight and this morning however it’s clearing up a bit now. Chilly though.

Temperature now 13.1⁰C up from a minimum of 8.6⁰C at 07:27, humidity is 76%, wind 4 to 12mph west-southwesterly, pressure is 999.3hPa rising slowly, there’s been 32.6mm of rain in the last 24 hours of which 18.0mm has been since midnight and cloud cover is currently 3/8.

The moon appears to be staying up late. I wonder what's happening?

Rain must’ve been quite heavy as it’s made some difference to the level of the White Cart Water. Not seen it close to as deep as this all summer.

Up to Aviemore to meet train this evening .  Down to 6c crossing the moors according to car.  Some towering shower clouds to the east highlighted by the setting sun.

[Quinach]

The rain front finally cleared through at 3pm.....

Followed by some impressive shower clouds, definite wintery look to some of those...

Its currently a lot cooler outside than the forecast.  According to the MET the overnight low is supposed to be 7c but already down to 4.8c.

A sneaky little frost perhaps in the making... 

[Puffy MacCloud]

It turned out to be a nice afternoon here and we seem to have dodged the showers, mostly, and only suffered a bit from low temperatures and sporadic windy outbreaks, as it were.

Temperature got all the way up to 13.7⁰C at 15:46, humidity was down at 70% at 16:25, maximum gust of wind was 21mph at 16:17, pressure is currently up to 1006.0hPa and rising slowly, rain today got up to 18.6mm and cloud cover this afternoon was 1/8 to 2/8, so mostly bright and sunny.

Addendum: Just had a brief but vigorous shower lasting five minutes that took today's total up to 20.6mm. Oh, and I noticed on the village Facebook page that someone is so desperate for a couple of gallons of petrol that they're willing to swap a GP appointment for it. Now that's desperation!

A bracing autumn morning after an overnight low of 3.4c (so lowest of the season so far).

50:50 mix of sunshine and cloud, stiff southerly breeze making it feel cold out of the sun; currently 9c.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Today has so far been a sunshine with a shower sort of day having blue sky to the west, dark grey sky to the east, coolish temperature and relatively calm compared to the last couple of days or so.

Maximum temperature so far was 13.0⁰C at 12:35 up from a minimum of 7.1⁰C at 07:28 and it’s now 12.2⁰C, humidity is 79%, wind is 2 to 10 mph south-southwesterly, pressure is 1006.1hPa falling slowly, there was 0.2mm of rain in a short shower an hour ago and cloud cover is 5/8.

Chilly night last night finally shut the windows which have been open since May more or less. Crackerjack of a day tho albeit chilly

[shuggee]

Car said 1.0C at 8am driving through the village - brrrr!

Dawn on the 27 Sep 2020 was -2.7C. 

[Northernlights]

5c here first thing this morning but bright and sunny perfect autumn morning.

[Puffy MacCloud]

It’s been a mainly sunny morning but with some big, beefy, white clouds building up now and being blown in from the west. Chilly again but, although there was a bit of rain overnight, it’s crisp and dry now.

Temperature now 12.2⁰C in the sunshine up from a minimum of 2.3⁰C at 07:53, humidity is 76%, wind 2 to 10mph west-northwesterly, pressure is 1015.8hPa rising slowly, there was 0.4mm of rain in the early hours and cloud cover is 4/8 and seems to be building.

[NUT]

Had 1 or 2 showers here today (one of them was heavy) a brief lull at the moment before the next weather maker rolls in. Doesn't look great for next few days

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

First frosty morning this morning temp down to 1.6c here but minus 1.3c lower down the valley in Lairg.  A few hefty showers this afternoon but nice in the sun.  Cold this evening but cloud building from the SW.

Ooh Sunday night could be tasty severe storm could be afoot…

[Quinach]

Another very useable day.

Max of 12c but felt warmer than that thanks to the sun that was out for most of the day; light to fresh SW winds and dry.

Some lovely skyscapes, especially in the morning....

Nerine's now in full bloom, a true autumn plant and a valuable one for colour at this time of year when the rest of the garden is looking a tad tired.  The books keep telling you that it's a tender bulb but didn't lose a single clump over last winter, even when it got down to -18c.

Definitely more planes in the skies these days.  The only good thing about peak Covid last year was how few contrails you saw to ruin the scenery.  Interesting optical effect on the contrails from this 747 that went over just after sunset (annoyed I missed the rocket launch the other night, apparently it was quite spectacular).

[Puffy MacCloud]

Cloud built up until 2pm and a minute later it rained for two minutes, and then it stopped, and the cloud cleared until by 5pm the sky was, to all intents and purposes, clear. Stayed chilly though.

Temperature maxed out at 14.0⁰C at 15:25 and total rainfall for the day ended up at 0.6mm. Outside, in the sunshine, it felt like a really nice autumnal day.

[Puffy MacCloud]

Damp, cool and windy day today, which I suspect will be par for the course in the weeks to come.

Maximum temperature today was 13.9⁰C up from 6.2⁰C at midnight, humidity is 90%, wind 3 to 14mph southwesterly, pressure is 1003.0hPa steady, there’s been 20.2mm of rain today and cloud cover is a fairly comprehensive 8/8.

@CatchMyDrift your back door looks like a space/time portal to the western Canadian rain forest. Spectacular.

Some hefty showers rolling through here this morning.

[Puffy MacCloud]

1st of October and it’s getting to that time of the year when a person should to be ready to offer shelter and sustenance to a wayfarer in need. Good old fashioned Scottish hospitality. Except when they let themselves in unannounced and gulp down your pint. This wayfarer is getting kicked out as soon as it stops raining.

Maximum temperature today was 11.9⁰C at 00:40 from where it went down to 8.4⁰C at 09:27 and then back up to 10.9⁰C now, humidity is 79%, wind 2 to 18mph southwesterly, pressure is 998.2hPa rising slowly, there’s been 6.0mm of rain today and 13.4mm in the last 24 hours and the cloud cover is 6/8.

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Don't see it too often might be 3 centers to the deepening low  has been changing with each run on positions of the lowest pressure a few had it centered on Fife then recent runs have been toward the NE coast then could deepen a bit more as it goes over the Northern Isles.

[NUT]

Started dry but had some heavy showers today not lasting too long though. Might just avoid the real deluge this weekend but will be getting some rain

[Quinach]

A bit wet first thing but much better in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine.

Stiff SW wind and a max of 11c.

[Puffy MacCloud]

I’m not sure which is worse, the weather outside my window or the pain inside my head. At least I can describe the weather; wet, cold, breezy and dark. My headache isn’t so attractive.

Maximum temperature so war was 10.3⁰C at 11:06 up from 4.3⁰C at 07:57 and now 8.7⁰C, humidity is 90%, wind 0 to 13mph southeasterly, pressure is 987.6hPa dropping like a stone, there’s been 5.4mm of rain so far today and 8.2mm in the last 24 hours and the cloud cover is a thick 8/8.

[mardatha]

Take it easy and get a cup of tea and asprin  Puffy.  Dull and boring here, inside and ootside my heid.
