I'm thinking of buying an anorak and taking up train spotting as this past
month has been boring and depressing. Ps: It's not been to good outside either g Keith (Southend) 'Weather Home & Abroad' http://www.southendweather.net e-mail: keith_harris9athotmail.com |

When one has to try and fire oneself up with the fact that there was some light drizzle in a High yesterday, things have have got fairly desperate. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey |

It may be meteorologically uninspiring (although the sun has come out here in the last hour or so), but it's certainly an interesting November climatologically. It's on course to be among the half-dozen most anticyclonic Novembers on record .... and, as a consequence, the driest (if we have no more than 8mm during the remainder of the month) over E&W since 1956.

Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey Tudor, I think you may have fallen asleep and not realised the fun and games on the doorstep for tomorrow. Thundery rain possible near the triple point (MetO F215 has ISOL EMBD CB to FL340, line convection ?) and a very active, convective occlusion to follow over northern parts. However, southern areas may not see that much precipitation due to the cold front splitting and upper forcing moving NE. The English Channel may destabilise this with temperatures around 13-14 degC but it doesn't look likely. Joe |

Have you heard the one about the spllchckr let loose on Fife, Angus, and Kincardine ? Philip Eden |
