If the GFS is to be believed it could end up being an extremely wet
November, particularly from the middle of next week. There seems to
have been a recent tendency for very, very wet Novembers, with very
active fronts and thundery showers between the fronts, every 3 years
or so in the last 10 years or so - for example 2006, 2002, 2000, 1997
all following the same sort of pattern.

This differs from how I remember November in the 80s and early 90s,
which tended to be a rather gloomy month with frequent steady, but
never heavy, rain interspersed with foggy periods and the odd frosty
high. November always used to be more "settled", if significantly
gloomier, than October, while these days October, the archetypal
"Atlantic" month, is often settled and can almost pass as a summer
month were it not for the relatively early sunset.

So has this time of year become more cyclonic?

It's always been notoriously wet here. Wettest month of the year on
average.

Lovely evening for the fireworks yesterday though, clear skies, full
moon, and around 10C at 20:00
