Weather Changeover DaysAdded : Friday at 10:22 If the weather has been a tad boring for you of late then a bit of a shift in the gears on the way over the next few days as we return to more seasonable weather which one would expect for the start of November.
This is the latest satellite image :-
You can see three things on this... Firstly, the low pressure system across the Bay of Biscay is throwing up a warm front which is currently across Southwest England. This low pressure system is drifting Northeast and will bring rain across many parts of England and Wales in the next 24 hours.
Secondly, you can see cooler and more showery air to the Northwest of the UK, that's heading our way too and finally you can see cloud across the UK and lots of it. This is all down to a rather strong low level inversion which is trapping all the moisture near the surface which has resulted in mist, fog and general rubbish weather of late.
The low pressure system is rather impressive to the South of us with warm sea temperatures and a cooler upper air low resulting in some lightning to the North of Spain :-
During the weekend you can see how the low pressure moves Northeast and by Saturday it's across the North Sea which allows cooler air to flood in quickly from the Northwest. Gardeners should be aware of a widespread frost for many parts on Sunday night, so protect your petunias!
Into next week and a mixed bag of weather on the way with cooler weather for all, but still some uncertainty regarding that frontal system which could stall across the UK on Tuesday :-
The latest GFS ► shows the potential for undercutting within the front as it stalls which results in colder air for a time running into the Western flank of the front and could bring some snow to higher ground, plenty of uncertainty but something which we are watching.
The main thing though is next week the weather sort of gets a move on.. A bit like it's suddenly remembered what it went upstairs for and we should start to see weather more akin to what should happen at this time of the year.
