One to replace the previous pinned post - there’s a whole load of weather on this page so feel free to stick around if you want to with a sprinkle of aurora whenever that peps up. I hope this picture of me and a goose from this morning is suitable for now!

@Met4CastUK @mattyratty75 @Club_Far_Q There's a few insults there that I might have to pinch tbf

@mattyratty75 @Club_Far_Q It’s @MetJam_’s secret account

What does V-aids feel like ya fake virtue signalling spineless, fad following, bwave when there’s a cwowd, name dropping far quit? Do ya still feel morally superior to other beings on the planet mate? No jab, no COVID = pure blood Hey, did y’all get the memo ? Heaven is shut & is now gated No entry for the morally superior vaccinated Special place in hell for the yuppie scum wannabees with the morally superior mental illness a.k.a master race sickness a.k.a gods chosen people delusions & even if that were not the case, or those V-aids riddled, spike protein shedding, selfish fad following fear porn cow ard far quits could humble themselves to own their shite & tragic mistakes … lol asif Heaven doesn’t accept GMOs. They have changed their dna. They have cut themselves off from their ancestors, their lineage - their connection to their source. They are mutants - a new form of human - with no souls. FunnVaxx - look it up. They traded their souls, their higher selves, their ancestors, bloodline & heritage for a free Donut, a wrist band & a we’re all in this together t-shirt. Can’t believe in & worship foul chi & also believe or get into heaven. Good luck arguing with St Peter. Can’t weigh one’s soul if one doesn’t have one.

The atmosphere never ceases to amaze

🚨 NEW: The Met Office estimates around 2,700 people died due to the UK heatwaves in May and June

No words. Here is a peak at one of our most incredible drone flights around a #tornado to date near Tulliby Lake, AB. The odds were completely stacked against us on this one, but thanks to some determination to make the 18 hour drive up here pulling an all-nighter, and brilliant forecasting by Nelson Tucker we were able to see this beauty. This will likely be one of our last intercepts of the season, thank you so much to everyone for following along as we press on to properly measure tornadoes to push weather science forward! #stormchasing #nature #weather

Windy with rough seas along the seafront this evening, has been gusting over 40 mph at times.

23 days of ≥30ºC so far this year in the UK, with three prolonged periods of ≥30ºC temperatures, with one ongoing [23rd May to 28th May, 21st to 27th June and 5th July to now]. The record in a year appears to be 34 in 1995, with 2018 following at 28. Last year we only had 16!

¿Y si vemos los gráficos de olas de calor como si fueran olas reales rompiendo? Esto es lo que he hecho aquí. Es una interpretación literal de la palabra que hemos usado durante décadas para este fenómeno — ola de calor — visualizada como el nombre que le da nombre. Mientras el calor extremo vuelve a estar en Europa Occidental, podemos observar el comportamiento récord de este año hasta ahora: Cada forma es un pulso de calor real — 3+ días consecutivos de aire anormalmente cálido (temperatura de 850 hPa; T850) por encima del percentil 90 local — representado como una onda rompiente. Se hincha a medida que aumenta el calor, alcanza su máxima intensidad y luego se curva en una ruptura abrupta cuando el patrón se derrumba. El tamaño y el color siguen el calor acumulado total del evento, el área por encima del umbral P90 integrada a lo largo de toda su duración. Ondas más grandes y oscuras significan más calor, que se mantiene durante más tiempo. 2026 destaca de inmediato, y su oleada más reciente es comparable en tamaño y oscuridad al histórico y catastrófico agosto de 2003. Se puede ver directamente en los datos: nos enfrentamos más a olas rompientes que son eventos mayores, más oscuros —y más persistentes— en todo el registro de los últimos 24 años, varios acumulándose uno tras otro entre mayo y julio en lugar de parecer picos aislados. Ese cambio de ondulaciones cortas, pálidas y aisladas en los 2000–2010 a formas extensas, saturadas y superpuestas en los últimos veranos es exactamente como aparece la "aceleración" en un registro de temperatura de la baja-media troposfera.

On a completely unrelated note, this was the synoptic situation the last time England was in the semi finals for the World Cup alongside the current forecast. 😁

@Jacksweatherch1 @Met4CastUK @UKWX_ @storm_obsessed @bbcmtd @ITVCentral Owl City will be calling you

What on earth is this glowing in the dark!? Anyone got any ideas no one has been putting lights in the trees, absoutley bizarre @MetJam_ @Met4CastUK @UKWX_ @storm_obsessed @bbcmtd @ITVCentral

@meulenbeld_rick @Met4CastUK Can’t imagine they’ll stick at those threshold values for too long, probably until the next lot of averages for 2001-2030

@MetJam_ @Met4CastUK Ah interesting

Many places will be on their 8th heatwave day after today, with at least 5-7 days of hot, dry weather still to come this is turning into a phenomenal period of weather.

@meulenbeld_rick @Met4CastUK County by county

@Met4CastUK Why does the UK have different criteria for a heatwave per station? I've never seen that in another country

As high pressure and low pressure push against each other, a tightening of the isobars will result in a strengthening wind across southern regions of the UK 🌬️ By the end of the weekend, it will turn particularly gusty through the English Channel with choppy seas developing 🌊

It is very likely that Kew will exceed its previous record of 30°C or higher days in the next week which currently stands at 20 days from 1995. 19 days as of today, just shy of the record and we are only on the 11th of July, unprecedented by this time of year.

A lot of dormant grass around here in Hertfordshire - definitely giving me the vibes of 2018, things are a bit more green back in Kent

@moog77 @orangesky_JC The oldest pub in the UK has got to be the one I’ve been in and not the five other ones that claim to be older and probably are

@moog77 @orangesky_JC I’ll be honest I didn’t realise there was this much discourse over how old a pub is

Oldest pub in the country ✅

An increasing North Sea undercut is helping to moderate temperatures - will probably still reach close to 30°C here in Hertfordshire whilst East Kent may be in low 20s!

9 days of >34°C 6 days of >35°C We’re only on the 11th of July and those are the numbers so far this year. This summer is likely to be in the top list of all summers on record in the UK, even if there was relatively ‘mediocre’ warmth from now on.

Not something you see everyday in a farm shop car park 👀💨
