A fine set of overcasts. Unfortunately it has been too radical over
here* to corroborate a forecast of hurricane activity in the Gulf of
Mexico.

There has been some devastation further south I believe and of course
the usual in the Bay of Bengal.

So... will it get worse?

Yoobecha!

*We have just had a beautiful Thursday. It was produced by the Low
pressure area stationed off the west of the UK. This Low brought warm
breezes up from south western Europe.

(Those more interested in meteorology by numbers rather than
determining exactly what causes weather, have chosen all the right
numbers again, well done.)

Of course it was soon followed by more rain and a blustery, though
still very warm -if precipitous, Friday.

For the one or two who might just possibly be interested in
weatherlore, the centre of the Low was over Iceland and moved south
over the next few days with the concomitant rain and strong winds
hitting us in the Midlands (UK; OK? #)

Still; worthy of note is the fact that the warm sunny weather was after
all (despite record high temperatures in Scotland -of all places)
caused by a rain spell.

So for future reference, a spell that is somewhat more than half an
hour past a wet spell, is inclined to produce fine weather in between
some exceptionally wet stuff.

All told; an interesting occasion.

# If you really want to push the boat out with this weatherlore stuff,
it might "freak you out" to plot the movement of the centre of the Low
against the movement of the Lunar Declination as viewed from the
surface of the earth (Nautical Almanack) over the last few days:

+15° to +4° in 48 hours -at the time of writing, according to:
http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/uncgi/Solar

So now it is in that interesting belt 5° either side of the equator
for a day or two.

Even more "all told" and still more interesting; to be sure, to be
sure.
