I must say, I do not recall ever ever seeing a chart like that in
October. That
is simply phenomenal. It is almost as if the whole northern hemisphere
circulation has flipped. The Atlantic is blocked and the main low
pressure run
seems to be SE into Russia from the pole.
I would cautiously say "summat's up" !

Hi, Will,

We live in interesting and exciting times. I will be pleasantly
surprised if the warming suddenly stops, but all the signs ( +NAO,
blocking October, general warming trend, etc, etc) are for another mild
winter.

ATB,
