Well, the usual build up to another dissapointing feature. I recorded that part of the half hour programme that lasted 9 minutes, which apart from some comments from Jim Bacon and Peter Gibbs lacked in substance. Maybe it's just me, but I find that TV try to over dramatise the whole event, with blurring pictures and wosshing noises, yet never try to put some meat on the bone, in the form of...

Hi, all Polar light reports currently from some site in Germany and Holland. http://www.spacew.com/www/auroras.html http://www.naturgefahren.de/aurora.htm Of course Northern regions of the British Isles have the best chances -- but skies are clear more south -- a bright moon staring at me currently :-)).

Hello, Can anyone recommend any good online shops that supply weather stations? At the moment im looking to buy a good rain gauge any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry if this is very boring to anyone living north of Birmingham, but can anybody in the much blessed South East remember a more perfect weather day ..? Deep blue skies ,unbroken powerful sunshine , scarcely a breath of wind all day ,and a temp. around 17C Absolutely brilliant, fit for any Red Indian (sorry, native American Indian) living this side of Solihull. Benign regards to you all

Quite hand this little baby :-) Try searching Google for 16c in kelvin or 45mph in knots. Cheers, A

I just caught the end of the weather with the sound very low, however did I hear Rob E saying that Tuesday was going to windy and wet just like autumn. I was very surprised having seen all the forecasts on the group over the past couple of day. Maybe I am wrong and suffering from lack of rain fever :) Thanks

Using analogue selection for 30-day periods and pattern sequences for 5-day periods during Aug/Sept, then using best-fit years, gives us the following for October 2003: Mean sea-level pressure pattern over the British Isles: south-westerly Mean pressure anomaly pattern over the Br.Is: near normal, perhaps a hint of NW-ly or N-ly

A perfect example of why forecasters have to be careful about language. On Radio 4 this morning at 0730 the presenters (James Naughtie and Edward Sturton) had an amusing exchange over what they evidently thought was an inappropriate and unintentionally comedic use of the expression "Rain from the west will decay". In the context and bearing in mind the audience the word "decay" for rain...

He says " why they don't apologise but do say what went wrong. And why if they are 12 hours out with a forecast they consider it " not a bad forecast" !!!
