I hope Starmer’s taken this in…

The crescendo of the aurora seen earlier, have had to actually turn down the vibrance as it was so colourful.

Southern Europe remains highly unsettled, with Storm Harry bringing further areas of intense showers and thunderstorms. By the end of today, some locations may record up to 200 mm of rain in 48 hours, with 7‑day totals potentially reaching 350 mm by next week January average rainfall is 40–90 mm

For 50 years, global warming had a very consistent trend (+0.19 °C/decade) with a boring, predictable range of natural variations around it. During the last three years, we've broken out above that range, suggesting the pace of change has quickened.

Last night it was the Aurora, this morning it’s the clouds! #sunrise

Areas of low pressure moving in close to the west will bring spells of wet and windy weather this week. However, a change to much colder conditions looks increasingly likely from Sunday, with a risk of snow.

Interesting article. It’s surprising that the media isn’t making more of this, as it seems to me that #Russia is attacking the #US FROM its heart with the aim of destroying #NATO. #Trump has to be a Russian Agent, helping secure #Greenland and #Europe for itself. theconversation.com/how-george-o...

From my phone holding it in hand!

Great #aurora display near Conwy, north Wales just now. Increasing cloud moving in sadly, but wow!

🔴⚠️🔥♨️🇨🇱More than 50000 evacuated, 19 deaths and more than 8500Ha already burned in the #Biobio & #Nuble : #Chile is suffering high temperatures and strong winds that are currently boosting 32 #wildfires.⬇️#Sentinel3 view with active fires on Jan.18 #incendio #climatemergency

When you see graphs like this, how can you not be worried about what effect this might have on weather, climate and ecosystems? This is serious stuff we’re witnessing! wmo.int/news/media-c...

It's awful. I know from BBC experience that you of course always get pushback when something familiar changes, but they've just made so much stuff harder to find and use

So… the @metoffice.gov.uk app redesign - is it just a bit worse or much much worse?

Lots of Magical Hair Ice ❄️ this morning A really fabulous phenomenon to see on a fresh frosty morning when all the conditions are perfectly aligned 🐾 👣 … fit for any Ice Queen 🫅 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #UkWeather #HairIce #MetOffice #Weather #ThePhotoHour

🌍 This week, the World Economic Forum released its Global Risks Report 2026. 🚨 Extreme weather events are ranked 4th most impactful risk in the short-term & 1st in the long-term. Yet another stark reminder of the need for #EarlyWarningsForAll. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4cZht5Y

I’m a big fan of @ellecordova.bsky.social because of all her videos on grammar. But her songs about #climate and politics are also fully legit.

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of: - Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute - operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history - Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used

I really hope this de-escalates very quickly. If not, I don't see how you can have a US military presence in Europe while threatening to take over an autonomous territory that is part of a European nation.

⚠️ Another very wet day on the cards tomorrow with >25mm rainfall expected on already saturated ground. weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and...

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2025) The last 3 years really jump out, rather like 2015-6 did when we first produced this graphic back then. Now, 2015-6 looks rather cool... More on the spiral: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

A new dark red 2025 climate stripe has been added to the global temperature bar graph. #climatechange #globalwarming

2025 adds another dark red stripe to the climate stripes New data confirms Earth’s third-warmest year on record, and 11th warmest year in a row. Created by Prof Ed Hawkins, the 2025 stripes reflect a century of climate science and provide a clear call for climate action. 👉 https://rdg.ac/4sGfjPX

And, still, most people haven’t got a clue what’s coming… climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima...

Completely irresponsible. This kind of thing shouldn’t be allowed.

Last Wednesday morning's crazy sunrise sky over Portmarnock Beach, look at those clouds!

What a storm! #StormGoretti

One last image of #StormGoretti this morning as she heads into Europe. #MeteorM2_4

And the previous M2_3 image of #StormGoretti from 8pm…

#StormGoretti captured from #MeteorMN2_3 at the same time as the lowest pressure reading. My station is marked by the Red Cross.

Mean sea level pressure dropped to 968.8 mb at 21:30, the lowest here since 2nd November 2023.

Love the pronunciations of these Cornish towns! myradar.com/videos/6299

Pressure falling very quickly over Southern England now as #StormGoretti intensifies.

A dangerous but beautiful beast. #StormGoretti captured from MeteorM2_4 pass in the last hour.

⚠️⚠️🔴 Red weather warning issued 🔴⚠️⚠️ Wind across the Isles of Scilly and parts of Cornwall Thursday 16:00 – 23:00 Latest info 👉 bit.ly/WxWarning Stay #WeatherAware ⚠️

#StormGoretti to our SW, undergoing explosive cyclogenesis to become a major winter storm. Multiple warnings for wind and #uksnow in effect.

I'm excited to announce the official Nullschool app is here! earth.nullschool.net on mobile browsers works fine, but the app is nicer. Full screen display, persistence across sessions, text size that matches device settings. Even landscape works well. And, like the website: no ads! Links below ⬇️

⚠️ Worth keeping an eye on the Met Office warnings over the next couple of days! Wind is likely to be the biggest hazard down here but there could be snow on the back edge of the low as it heads east through the Channel. weather.metoffice.gov.uk/warnings-and...

Permafrost (frozen ground) is the backbone of northern ecosystems. Watch this field video for a visual demonstration of what happens when we lose that permafrost to thaw.

Rain on the way this evening with sleet on high ground.

Another very cold night with -8.5°C recorded locally at #Bournemouth Airport. My own #Dorset station dipped to -6.6°C at 05:45, just 0.2°C from being the coldest night since the Beast from the East in February 2018. The temperature rarely falls below -6°C here.

There are some very interesting synoptics developing through this week with the potential for heavy rain, heavy snow and very strong winds from late Wednesday.

You can clearly see the swathe of snow over Southern England in this @metoffice.gov.uk image…

You can make out the areas of the UK that have #uksnow cover in this recent image from #MeteorM2_4. Extensive snowfall over Scotland and Wales but also over the NW Midlands, East Anglia and a narrow swathe from Gloucestershire to Sussex.

Bournemouth Airport showed off its frost hollow-like nature last night. You'd think there was snow on the ground but no, it's well drained sandy soils that allows the temperature to drop like a stone when it's calm & clear at night.

It was the coldest night of the winter overnight with Bournemouth Airport ranking 15th with a minimum of -6.6°C. I recorded -5.0°C at my own station with is the coldest recorded temperature here since 19th January 2024.

Surprisingly, following a dip in temperature after sunset on Friday evening, the air temperature has stayed above freezing since midnight in my part of #Dorset.

A few sleety flakes of #uksnow in lowland east #Dorset this morning. From now on it’s clear, sunny and frosty down here with some notably low overnight temperatures expected.
