Cat people! How do I stop forecaster meow from trying to eat my plant? Things i’ve tried; - Distracting with toys - Growing cat grass for her to chew on - Ignoring her She still insists on trying to eat the leaves.

High pressure must be in charge! Much of the UK is being bathed in autumnal sunshine this morning, some cloud/patchy drizzle into the far NW of Scotland, so a pretty good day there too by usual standards 😂

The current high pressure pattern across the UK is a perfect example of Rossby wave propagation from the Pacific with alternating areas of high/low/high pressure circumnavigating the planet (1st image) This is a result of MJO activity moving slowly through the Maritimes and into

We’re not done with extreme rainfall in Europe just yet. Parts of northeast Italy could see in excess of 100-200mm of rainfall across a fairly wide area in the next couple of days, likely leading to flooding impacts.

Nice retrogressive high pressure this week shifting from the UK/NW Europe to Greenland before becoming west based & allowing low pressure onto the scene across the UK again.

🇮🇹 Flash flooding now occurring in Colli in the province of Pescara, Italy as yet another extreme rain event for Europe develops.

Lots of blocking on NWP modelling at the moment with high pressure over Greenland or to the west of the UK. I'm sure all this blocking will vanish just as soon as these patterns become more viable for snow..

Naples, Italy. Heavy rainfall is leading to flooding.

Wildfires continue to burn in Portugal this morning.

EPS mean showing colder northerly winds later in the month following on behind a low pressure system pushing east. Unsettled signal appears to be strengthening now. This chart would get the coldies excited if it were mid January!

When all the blocking currently on offer within modelling vanishes as soon as winter arrives.

Following on from record heat, parts of Australia have set new records for the lowest Spring temperature 📉

Modigliana, Italy. Last year this area saw flooding and it was said to be a 1 in 500 year event. This year the flooding returns, with the potential to be worse. Our climate is shifting.
