I've updated my Buy Me a Coffee page a little, in case anyone still wants to help a little on the side and help fund a beer or a coffee. All is greatly appreciated, especially considering the tight student budget I'm on 😁 buymeacoffee.com/MetJam_

These stats all point to a chance for some photographic aurora down to all of England tonight - a Bt of 30 means there's plenty of energy in the tank for at least some photographic rays, perhaps even weakly visual.

@Official_WXUK Less people than I thought - saw 4 or 5 right at the end

@MetJam_ Does everyone come out and look up/take pics on campus when there's a sunset like that? All the Met students flocking out 😂 ...another insta weekly roundup contender

The best sunset I have seen in Reading so far:

A contender for one of the best sunset glows I’ve seen in the last 5 years

A shoutout to @ForensicsJack who said the high level cloud might make sunset tonight incredible and who I doubted and dismissed 😂

It's the warmest day of the year so far in Scotland with 20.2 °C recorded at Fyvie Castle, Aberdeenshire 🌡️

The sunniest day since I turned up here I believe

Yesterday and Wednesday were the sunniest days here in Reading (10.0 and 10.1 hours recorded) since the 22nd of September last year (10.0 hours recorded) - it can only get better from here. 🌞

@Jacksweatherch1 Bit of a COL as high pressure is being squeezed further east - easterly flow lower down (bringing in most of the higher level cloud) mixed with a northerly high up

@MetJam_ What's causing all this extensive high cloud, it's very wide spread?

It’s prime weather for people to start saying the government are spraying chemtrails to kill us all

Sunset again

Stunning sunset colours from that high cloud this evening - nice way to end off the day

The first high level cloud in a day has begun to arrive here in Reading from a cold front that’s decayed so much that it’s not on the 12 UTC FAX analysis. Tomorrow should be fairly sunny too bar some extra high level cloud and cooler.

@jordanrstokes Now now

@MetJam_ I mean that's pretty awesome, but just because they're older don't call your professors dinosaurs 🤣🤣

ALWAYS take a picture with the dinosaurs on campus

@jordanrstokes I network with dinosaurs

@MetJam_ Do you get any work done 🤣🤣

@oliverek7 Stunning

Yesss 🌤️ 🌡️ #ukweather

A little bit of Reading weather trivia here - a memorial to Reading’s only known tornado fatality who died in 1840.

A maximum temperature of 19.3ºC at the 09 UTC observation here in Reading made yesterday the warmest 18th of March on record since 1990 and the second warmest 18th of March on record since 1908.

@adam_wain Watch

@MetJam_ That's cool! On the phone or on a watch?

Apple Watch says I’ve clocked up 380 minutes of daylight and just over 22,000 steps today - been absolutely glorious.
