Quite amazing how the globe is not cooling. August only 0.01C behind the super El Nino August of 1998 with La Nina conditions across the central Pacific. http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/10/september-2009-uah-global-temperature-update-0-42-deg-c/

Well! I can't ignore that, as my forecast criteria have been triggered by cross-model agreement and consistency from both the gfs and the ECM today: ** At T240, on 3rd Sept, the UK will be bathed in a warm airstream, with a continental feed.

I was expecting another fine day tomorrow... METO Saturday: Early mist and fog will clear quickly then some brightness, but cloud will steadily thicken from the west. Most areas will have some light rain by the evening. Fantastic today after the fog +22c and some garden pruning done.

Exceptionally long wavelength swell today. Often only 1 wave in view at a time http://www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm. Maybe originating from an old hurricane. Magic seaweed showed a dominant swell of up to 20secs recently http://magicseaweed.com/Sennen-Surf-Report/4/multiSwell/uk/#forecastTable , but it's seemed even longer. Any comments Norman? A feed of slightly warmer air from the south...

So much talk on this ng about how one feels it is autumn or summer. Should we not be tied down to figures? This is afterall a science ng. There is no room for feelings. Since when did the weather care about us? Len Wood Wembury

The generally high level cloud which made the sunshine hazy today, together with a little altocumulus recently, is now tending to decay. However, cleaner air has arrived, giving a big improvement in visibility, and a stunning sky. Photo from my garden 19:30 http://www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/tempphoto.html Graham Penzance

A warm & sunny, if rather hazy day. Feeling still very much like summer with strong sunshine and a max today of 23.1°C after another cool start with min of just 8.4°C. Been out 'n' about in the sunshine for the last few days and the ol' suntan is well and truly topped up after fading for a while in late August. The day length and maximum sun elevation are really starting to decrease quickly...
