Ideal weather for trainspotting, in fact.
I agree that the weather seems to have gone to sleep, at least in the UK.
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.

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.

As one who knows, I can assure you that train spotting is considerably more
exciting than this weather, at least it was in pre-Beseeching days. I didn't
have an anorak as they were a later import from Norway. The beige coloured
duffel coat was the "de rigger" train spotter apparel of the early 60s.

At 10 past 3 this afternoon it seemed to be getting dark.
I can't even go out & take some nice digital photos :-o(
Roll on April.
Regards Mike.

Bloody spell-chequer: for those old enough it was meant to say pre-Beeching
days.

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.

LOL ... I thought it was your dry wit and I wasn't quite getting
the joke. Have you heard the one about the spllchckr let loose
on Fife, Angus, and Kincardine ?

Too true Martin, train spotting was exciting in the 1970's, before every
train became a EMU or DMU.

Well, he was beseeched not to butcher the railways, but without success.
