I can't remember such a benign Autumn. No wind, still mild. Sea temp. is currently 15.6C.

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.

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

Still, at least it's better than gales...

Just hope that the above average wet October and September will mean that this dry spell will continue to last for most of the Winter.

It's been generally dull, unsettled and wet since beginning of July 2023. There was a dry spell in June and latter part of May, but the troubles really began in March 2023 following a major SSW event.
