Thu 26/6: Patchy rain at dawn clears east for a mostly dry afternoon; patchy or frequent sun. Cloud over W Scotland and Lakeland may be slow to clear as occasional showers and drizzle drift onshore. Feeling chilly in wind, rising to near gale-force in Scotland later afternoon.

Very warm air aloft has finally banished the mess of high-based cloud from ~Dorset east-north-eastward. Well to the south, destabilisation has begun over France, thunderstorms marked by the lightning symbols.

The RAF is excited to announce the procurement of 12 new F-35A jets.⚡💪 These fifth-gen aircraft can fly in @NATO nuclear crisis missions, strengthening our nuclear deterrence, & ensuring we are ready to fly, fight and win against threats. Read more: https://t.co/5Oj0v2Ft4R

An awe-inspiring Arctic scene for the #SteadfastDefender24 Carrier Strike Group. Whilst continuing with @NATO exercises in the High North, our ships were treated to some incredible displays of the aurora borealis. For many onboard, a once-in-a-lifetime moment. #NorthernLights

Morning everyone hope you are well. Dawn breaking over Loughrigg Tarn with the Langdales as a backdrop. All to myself and very peaceful. Have a great day. #LakeDistrict @keswickbootco

Tue 5/3: Upland gales for Highlands, easing slowly. Weak fronts drifting NE'wards bring patchy drizzly rain or hill snow flurries. Showery rain/snow tops moves into western Scotland. Clearest in the far north. Variable cloud and some sun Eng & Wales, a few light showers W Wales.

Great Gable looking magnificent from Hazelbank now ..

A wander up Ard Crags and Knott Rigg this morning, solitude in the snow, brilliant 😀😀😀 #lakedistrict #Cumbria

I was allowed a few hours of as it’s my birthday so I off up Seathwaite Fells, over to Sprinkling Tarn and back down Grains Gill - 😮 the snow, up to the knees. Be careful out on the fells, it’s another world up there

Was quite lovely here this morning. #LakeDistrict #Lakes #Cumbria

An unusual view of the iconic #stridingedge from the flanks of #Helvellyn Despite the sunshine, light winds & spectacular views #mountainrescue have been very busy so please make good decisions & #beadventuresmart in the current full on winter conditions #summitsafely Zac

Magical summit views from #Helvellyn on another spectacular winters day. Crampons / microspikes & an ice axe essential for anyone venturing above the snowline as even the easiest paths are becoming icy #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac

A moody Helvellyn with a smidge of “Alpenglow”just before sunrise today as seen from near my home ⛰️❄️ It was about -2c out. Lots of ice about. Was lovely to #outdoors though 👍 #lakedistrict #ukweather
