Big increase in EPS members going for
a SSW on today’s sub-seasonal forecast since the 23rd, when there was just one or two stragglers going for it.

Unprecedented events seem to happen a lot these days in meteorology and there’s little historical precedent to judge how it might ver the coming weeks following a record early SSW for November.

High pressure in late autumn often means fog forming overnight where skies clear and winds fall light - could become widespread in the mornings at the weekend, slow to clear too with the weaker sun.

No major SSW has occurred before November 28th since records began in 1959, so an event in the first week of November would beat the record by roughly three weeks.

The most likely outcome is the vortex elongates and briefly splits but then quickly merges back into one vortex - but a polar vortex that is displaced.

Could lead to high latitude blocking later in November and risk of colder spells in Northern Europe, but depends where the displacement ends up. Since this would be an extremely early event, with the vortex not yet fully set up, there’s little historical precedent to judge how it might play out.

Much needed fresh sea air this afternoon down near Dungeness in Kent after being stuck indoors a lot recently with the wet weather. Fish and chips was had at the Pilot Inn after, recommend it for this if anyone is down that way, don’t have to book but gets very busy.

✈️ Powerful winds from Storm Boelo made for some challenging landings at Birmingham Airport in England as pilots battled gusty conditions to get their planes safely on the ground.

Who knows what impact this will have on the actual weather. But for the #SSWE fans, 62% of the 12z EPS members do show a U wind reversal at 10mb at 60 N.

Dark by half five this evening, more time indoors over the coming months, colder and more rain, shutting the world out behind curtains. Fine by me though spending half the year more introvert, quieter with windows shut, people indoors, more time to think, be creative undisturbed

Watching the potential for a sudden stratospheric warming event in early November 👀

The key will be whether its effects couple downward into the troposphere, where they could alter weather patterns. So far, there's no clear sign of that happening.

The Clyde estuary at ‘record breaking’ levels.

Record breaking is a phrase that’s going to dominate the next year
