The mean sea-level pressure field was considerably distorted
over the Europe/Atlantic sector. The Icelandic Low was displaced
1200km SE of its normal position and was centred just west of the
Hebrides at 1003 mbar. The Azores high was much weaker than
usual and displaced 1000km NW of its normal position, and was
centred between the Azores and Newfoundland at 1018 mbar.
Pressure was higher over NW Greenland (1020 mbar) and
Ukraine (1021 mbar). The trough axis from the Hebrides low was
at 8 deg W, leaving most of the British Isles under a SSW-ly flow
but western Ireland under a NW-ly flow.

The main anomaly centres were -10 mbar over Cornwall and
+11 mbar over S Greenland, with a strong anomalous NE-ly flow
over much of the northern Atlantic. Over the British Isles, mean
sea-level pressure anomaly ranged from -10 mbar over Cornwall to
-3mbar over Shetland. The anomalous flow was easterly over
Scotland, NE-ly over Ireland, and cyclonic S-ly over England &
Wales.

Amazing, a CET bang on average. I wonder what you think November will bring.

Thanks Philip for both the October overview and the 'Not the November long
range forecast'

I hope you get your pc sorted soon.

Not only has this been the wettest October at Leuchars, Fife, since
the station opened in 1921 (the previous record was established only
two years ago), it appears to have been the wettest in the
Leuchars/St.Andrews/Cupar area since at least 1866. The
provisional total there stands at 183mm (almost three times the
norm).

Aviemore's total sunshine of 32 hours is the lowest in Oct since
sunshine recording began there in, I think, 1987 (even allowing
for the change in sensor), and the lowest in the
mid-Strathspey/Glenmore Forest district since the
extraordinary October of 1974.
