Why is that surprising when for millennia the area was so conducive to flying they still have to slaughter the wildlife indiscriminately there? Why the hell didn't I catch this before TSR beat me to it? This is the time of the phase for this spell: 18th Nov 15:09 It a spell for thunder. And its foggy. Foggy spells are 6 and 12 o'clock times of phases. The spell is 3 hours out and this indicates a likelihood of severe tropical storms. I can't remember if it comes to a Cat 3 but it can only go as high as a Cat 5, according to satellite telemetry. Which means that the code is chiral too. So it IS going to be a Cat 3. Or not. Come on Kenneth, don't let me down. http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/ Cyclosis shows up as a massive system in the North Atlantic just this side of the Mid Atlantic Ridge -that Blocking Low effect I was going on about a few days ago. When Ken starts to fall apart, the Low will split up rather than go ashore as most Lows do at Norway or Scotland. It's nice when I forget things, it keeps it fresh. And interesting. |

When I woke up this morning all my doubts were gone It's going to be a Cat 3 all the whole day long. When I get back to bed, what will have taken its place? A very large Low All down the Mid Atlantic ridge. |

A very large Low All down the Mid Atlantic ridge. Gone to 4, Mike. Know what that means? Of course, it's going back down. That's right. And it's all he http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/..._pressure.html Yes, strange that nobody noticed. Yes. Especially on here. Yes. Tell me, is that why you are talking to yourself? Yes, nobody else I can talk to about it. That's true Mike; they are all as dumb as planks. Yes. Lonely. Yes. But being unique has that effect on people who have that effect on people. That's true. Both of us. Or not. As the case may be? Shall we tell them? No, feckem! Yes, that's what I think too. Let's see if any of them can work it out on their own. No chance. They are just computers. Yes but maybe there is one on here that might make it. I doubt it. Me too. |

It just never happens with a light anticyclonic southerly but there has been a remendous amount of dew. The road outside my house could almost be described as wet - certainly *very* damp - yet there had not been a cloud in the sky all day and evening. The temperature was mostly about 7°C though down to 5°C in a local valley according to the car thermometer, and with surprisingly thick shallow fog. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, NE Surrey 556 ft. |

Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, NE Surrey 556 ft. Reminds me of Novembers of the past, with many days of fog, often followed by harsh winters ~ watch this space.... I stuck my neck out at the end of October seeing similarities, here at Southend-on-Sea, with the summer/autumn of 1978. November was also milder than average (another tick in the box), so December should be average. Then will we see a 1979 winter, 3 consecutive months 1°C below the average. It's a tall order, but I feel certain we are going to pay for this unseasonable weather this autumn. Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net "Weather Home & Abroad" |

Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, NE Surrey 556 ft. .... actually used ' fefe ' this morning in my weather log ... continuous wet fog which had formed by 22Z previous evening (19th): not quite enough water in gauge for 0.1 mm, but a close-run thing: I see that there was enough at nearby Hurn to trigger a 'tip' of the TBR, hence the 0.2 mm they've reported. The fog eventually thinned out around 1045/1100Z, then a short phase of BKN ST, before becoming 7 oktas cirrus by 1215Z and a reasonable afternoon: very smokey outside this evening (lots of bonfires & some wood-burning stoves).

In Cranleigh, down in the Surrey lowlands, it was foggy this morning and the fog has returned within the last hour. It's probably thicker now than it was at any time this morning. In between it was merely murky. -- John Hall "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." George Bernard Shaw |
