Outlook for NW & central-northern Europe is fairly dry this week & then for NW Europe v. dry the week after. This October isn't shaping up as you might expect based on the strongest El Niño events in the historical record - a reminder that it's not the dominant player in Europe.

Avec une pression de 1046 hPa modélisée la semaine prochaine, les records mensuels de haute pression seront pulvérisés au Royaume-Uni. Jamais un anticyclone n'avait été aussi fort depuis au moins 1950 en Europe occidentale au cours du mois d'octobre.

In keeping with the Hurn figures, this month reached 334.5 hours sunshine here yesterday, making it the sunniest calendar month on record with 4 days still to go. Prior record was 335.4 hours in May 2020. Absolutely stupendous.

Dramaric scenes at Church Hill in Scalby as a large tree in the churchyard has come crashing down into the road. Blocked to traffic, but tree surgeons are cutting it up in a major highways operation.

Wondering where the sunshine has gone? Spare a thought for northeast Scotland; Aberdeen Dyce hasn't recorded any sunshine since 21 January! This is provisionally the longest sunless period here since records began in 1957 ☁️
