Good isn't it? Longer that eats into this Autumn, the better. But I'm sure we'll pay the price for it with a wet and wild December, January or/and February.

What a real kick in the nads this high pressure is! We've been crying out for a nice settled spell all spring and summer and nothing happens, yet we get one now in late autumn when it just brings nothing but slate grey skies and drizzle. This really is the worst time of year for such a block.

Absolutely.

Regionally, we have just had an above average wet October, 245% the long term average rainfall for September, and 153% the LTA over the past 6 months! And to boot we havn't had any notable spells of weather all year, so i'll take calm and dry in whatever form it comes.

The last extended dry and calm period i can remember was prior to the 15month monsoon that started in July 2023.

I was worried that this dry, quiet period would be a gloomfest but I have to say that so far it has been better than I expected. A bit of drizzle early in the week but with a few bits of sun here and there and today has been glorious after early fog cleared
