Red sky at night…
I really should get out more…
Satellite
NWP models having problems with cloud even though barometers are set very dry
It’s certainly turned a little more ‘hazy’ across our part of the world this morning or should that be ‘overcast’?
Jet pushes upper cloud south and surface pressure towards 1050 hPa
It’s not surprising that the high cloud has spread south so rapidly in the last few hours as there was a 150 knot northerly jet at midnight down across the country.
Jetstream shield
I don’t know the exact technical term for this ‘shield’ of cloud is, other than calling it jet stream cirrus but I know its a harbinger of rapid development. I quite like shield of cloud that I’ve coined, who knows perhaps it’ll catch on.
The fly in the ointment
In the shape of an upper cold pool off the Brest peninsula maybe.
Why do we continue to use fake satellite imagery in TV weather forecasts?
Visible and more detailed satellite imagery should be used more widely in TV weather forecasts
First day of winter
Temperatures were close to average this Autumn in central England, but it ended up being the coldest Autumn since 2012 in the latest provisional figures from the Met Office.
Mondays snow
A terrific satellite image of northern Scotland and it’s snow cover this lunchtime before it disappeared beneath a veil of thickening cirrus and cirrostratus.
Little continuity and mad scribblings
Some observations on last night’s analysis.
Strange kind of warm sector
Strange goings on in the air above northern Scotland at the moment.
Friday 29 November 2019
What’s that strange lump of cloud over southwest England? And can occlusions turn into cold fronts at will?
Nephanalysis
I couldn’t help a bit of a nephanalysis overlaying the various jet streams that are in play at the moment
