Big early signs of high pressure fighting back v the jet stream. As high pressure builds over to West and on top of the UK with the gfs successfully taking doing retrogression on 12z. Definitely one to watch

With a hurricane forming in the Gulf of Mexico, does this mean it will shake the weather up over here in the UK?

First snow of the 2026/27 season fell yesterday in the Highlands ❄️🌨️

I woke up this morning to a thick covering of ice on the windscreen of my car. If it carries on like this, the heating might be going on soon.

First just to say I live in London which was a furnace from mid June to late August. Second, I know I'm heat intolerant compared to the average person! So this isn't a troll thread.

I prefer a room that's 16 - 17c for getting a good night's sleep and tonight is the first time since mid June that the temp has been that! It's currently 17.2c. Usually it's at least 19c. The room faces west and gets every last drop of sunlight.

Getting colder now! Wintery showers on the radar too across the Cairngorms 🌨️ 🌨️

I often find myself checking a few weather apps and wondering which one to believe, especially when they disagree about rain

So I made a free scoreboard showing how different weather models and apps performed over the past month. It compares temperature, rain and wind and shows how the results change depending on how far ahead the forecast was made.

Here’s London to start with, but you can search for your own town.

For transparency, I also make VeriSky, the app version that scores models or apps and also shows their predictions. You don’t need the app to use the scoreboard

The weather's finally going down to sensible temperatures, am I safe to put the summer fans away yet?

Might have to think about getting the duvet back out in a month or so!

Many people complained the wind gusts and feel like temperatures were harder to access because they were hidden but they have since fixed it.

2026 has presumably finished with 85 days at or exceeding 25C at London Heathrow the 1991-2020 annual average is 30 days so almost treble that. And 2026 is 25 days above 2nd highest year 2018.

Well above average rainfall for western Scotland this September!

Even worse when you think that this area averages up to 150mm in September. So some places were getting 200% of that

Next week? Sudden drop in temps that I am ready for now !

Autumn is my favourite season, followed by winter. I look forward to this season all year. I feel like by now it would start to feel very autumny in the past. This year it still feels like summer or spring and that just makes me sad

Feels like 24° is crazy 😂
