Hi all - I've set up a Buy Me a Coffee (or Coke in this case) page if anyone is feeling generous and wants to support the page as well as my caffeine addiction 😂. Weather is certainly my passion and I hope to continue the updates well into the future! .

🌡️ The UK has had its warmest summer on record, according to provisional Met Office statistics. The UK’s mean temp of 16.10°C surpasses the previous record of 15.76°C and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top 5 warmest summers. Details below or read this short thread👇🧵.

In simple terms, there's a chance of photographic aurora (and perhaps even visual) tonight if it all lines up correctly. The south west and far east seem to be best placed for clearer skies.

We are awaiting the arrival of a CME from the Sun tonight based on what the majority of models are saying (HUXt is an outlier with an arrival just after 16 UTC tomorrow). The Met Office's model goes for an arrival at 20 UTC (21 BST) with a chance of G2/G3 geomagnetic storm.

First day of autumn and it’s looking like a showery day - there’s some nice shower clouds around 😁

Based on provisional data available, the CET is very close to beating the 1976 record. It is currently sat at 17.73°C for the season and 1976's record is 17.72°C; it will require today's mean CET temperature to be ≥17°C for it to be totally beaten & ≥16°C to be joint 1st.

Recent M2.76 flare from the centre disk of the Sun looks to have fired a CME that could be partially directed at Earth based on current imagery that is coming through. The potential for photographic aurora may be there in 3-4 days time, let's await the models. 😁
