iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Version 1.0 of my app is now running on my phone, allowing me to download & render charts on the go. I will eventually move the back end data/rendering process onto a server to massively increase the speed, but it’s a start!

TUESDAY A dry day for most away from a few showers to the southwest early morning, variable amounts of cloud but there should be some good sunny spells around. Through tomorrow evening the next weather system pushes into the southwest.

An area of instability moving out of northern France during Monday night may bring heavy rain & thunderstorms to parts of southeast England. Whilst much of the activity may stay offshore, can't rule out some cells working in across parts of Sussex/east Kent for example.

Through tomorrow a weather front moving in against high pressure will rapidly decay, potentially quite wet for the western Isle of Scotland and western Ireland however.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 22/09/2026

I still have no idea what these bars are supposed to represent on the Met Office app. Today is warmer than yesterday so today’s bar is longer, okay, but that doesn’t look like a 1°C difference, the gap is far too wide. The bars make zero sense!!

Keeping an eye on Wednesday for potential thunderstorms ahead of a cold front advecting east/southeast. Wales into parts of the Midlands currently most likely to see some thunderstorms. ⚡️

I designed these charts with simplicity and clarity in mind.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 18/09/2026

Claude Code handled the heavy lifting in terms of the back end API requests and software that allows me to generate the charts, but the design, animations and keys were all manually designed and tweaked. Initially there won’t be public access, but if there’s enough interest I’ll explore that.

The charts I'm creating are almost ready. Here's an example of Northern England tomorrow as convergence & orographic drive shower activity, could potentially produce localised flooding.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 03/09/2026

The weather will remain rather changeable into next week, an area of rain pushes across Wales, Midlands & southern England through tonight and tomorrow, locally heavy in places. Some signs beginning to emerge later next week for a return to drier & potentially hotter weather.

0152

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 29/08/2026

Widespread showers will develop tomorrow but where CAPE (cyan colours) and deep layer shear (blue contours) overlap is where we're likely to see a higher risk of thunderstorms developing, i.e across the Midlands. Pulse type storms most likely tomorrow.

0140

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 29/08/2026

SAT 29 AUG A broad trough sat across the UK with colder air aloft will provide forcing for heavy showers & thunderstorms through this afternoon. Given relatively low cloud bases and local convergence, particularly through the SLGT region, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

0152

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 28/08/2026

I'm currently in the process of creating my own suite of data driven weather charts, UKV and AROME are implemented but I plan on adding as many other models as possible. Is there a specific chart you'd like to see that most websites don't offer? The more unique the better.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 26/08/2026

It's been a very dead summer in terms of thunderstorms!

010

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 25/08/2026

WED 26 AUG | THUNDERSTORMS An occlusion lifting slowly north will generate forcing for widespread heavy showers across England and Wales, some of these potentially turning thundery in nature. Through the MOD zone one or two more severe thunderstorms are possible bringing the risk of flooding.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 23/08/2026

According to ERA5 global sea surface temperatures have set a new all time record. This is likely the warmest sea surface temperatures have been in at least the last 125,000 years. What’s more concerning is this will likely rise further in the coming months.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 23/08/2026

Keeping a close eye Tuesday night & Thursday. A sub-tropical low currently to the west of Biscay will lift north introducing some inherently unstable air, this could allow for prolonged torrential rainfall & thunderstorms, possibly leading to flash flooding in places.

0132

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 23/08/2026

The National Hurricane Centre is monitoring the low to the west of Biscay, they give it a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression although is expected to quickly weaken as it encounters an unfavourable environment. Even so - The fact it’s being monitored is pretty wild.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 22/08/2026

Gorgeous spinny boi of a low down to the southwest of the UK, potential that it could develop some sub-tropical characteristics on the next day or two. May bring heavy thundery rain to southern counties of England on Tuesday ⚡️

Sub-surface temperatures in the Pacific have now reached a staggering 11.1°C above average. Whilst El-Nino development has temporarily slowed due to an uptick in easterly trade winds, strong westerly wind bursts over the next 1-3 weeks will re-initiate rapid development.

We’ve had some rain so naturally water companies are immediately discharging sewage into our seas again. These people should be in prison, instead they receive million £ bonuses. For what? Polluting our water ways and restricting our water use?

Temperature in the western Mediterranean are now >6°C above average. An attribution study has shown that out of a rise of +3.1°C this summer, >2°C can be directly attributable to climate change. We are super heating our oceans.

New high resolution images showing the extent of this summers drought vs last years more "normal" summer. A little browning is normal in summer but the extent we've seen this year is remarkable. No meaningful rainfall for over 2 months in many areas.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 18/08/2026

Some much needed rain will push into southwest & central southern England counties through tonight. Whilst most will likely only see 1-3mm, locally we could see 5-10mm where heavier bursts develop.

Temperatures in the Mediterranean basin are now setting new all time temperature records by a fairly significant margin with much of the sea now at severe or extreme maritime heatwave levels. Devastating for wildlife & local ecosystems.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 17/08/2026

Global sea surface temperatures are now just 0.02C away from setting new all time records. Average temperatures have reached 21.16C with virtually no where on the planet below average. El Nino will continue to develop over the coming months pushing temperatures higher.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 16/08/2026

This is beyond unprecedented. El Niño forecasts are now approaching 5°C above average in the Nino3 region. Average global temperatures in 2027 could potentially exceed 2.0°C above the pre-industry baseline.

Here’s a very early & very long range look at what autumn / winter 2026 could have in store for the UK and northwest Europe.

1112

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 16/08/2026

Predictions for global temperatures for 2027 are nothing short of extraordinary. It’s possible we could reach 1.7-1.8°C above the pre-industry baseline, setting new all time temperature records. That would mark 5 consecutive years warmer than anything observed before 2023.

Sub-surface ocean temperatures in the Pacific have now reached 9.96°C above average, significantly warmer than the previous record event in 1997. This El Niño continues to set new records. Nobody alive today has witnessed an event of this magnitude.

RAIN?! ☔️ The 12z GFS manages to bring a band of rain across central & southern counties through Tuesday night & into Wednesday. It would be the first meaningful rainfall for 2 months. Other models have this feature being much more patchy / showery, however.

Frittenden has reached 35.8°C this afternoon marking the 10th day to exceed 35°C this year. That doubles the previous records set in 1976 and 1995.

Horrific scenes in the West Midlands. A wildfire has moved into a residential area, reports are that 6 houses so far have burnt down with injuries being reported. Hard to believe this is happening in the UK.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 13/08/2026

Remarkable. A provisional 38.1°C at Kew Gardens marks the hottest day so far this remarkable summer, and draws with 2022 for being one of only two years where 38°C has been reached twice in a summer.

14215

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 13/08/2026

Not sure - But 37°C today means it’s the first time since records began that 37°C has been reached in two summer months.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 13/08/2026

Charlwood is now at 37.8°C. The all time August temperature record of 38.5°C (the previous all time UK record) has a small chance of being broken. This is the first time since records began that temperatures have reached 37°C in two consecutive months.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 13/08/2026

Sub-surface temperatures in the Pacific are shockingly warm with anomalies as much as 8-9°C above normal. Strong westerly wind burst events will continue to develop this growing warm pool, leading to the record breaking El Niño event later this year.

Met4Cast @met4cast.net · 13/08/2026

It really is remarkable that we’ve seen 35°C reached in 4 consecutive months, May, June, July, August, the previous record was 2. We’ve also now beaten 1995 for most days >30°C ever recorded. No other year since records began matches summer 2026. 🥵
