Nine-year-old Retaj was killed in April by a stray bullet at a teaching tent erected on the ruins of a school in northern Gaza. Her father, Abdel Raouf Rihan, said: ‘We need a full ceasefire. Every day there are stray shots killing or injuring people’

06 readings show air frost at low level UK stations. A low of 6.3C at Wanstead. Many ground frosts too by the looks of it.

The mean for September was 18.2C, 2.9C above average, the 2nd warmest in the local series. Rainfall of 31mm made it 47th driest

I recorded-11.9C on the surface of the snow during the December 2022 cold spell. With upper air being only -5C I’d expect -20C is easily achievable. But probability of that synoptic scenario seems to get lower every year.

Another day, another record. Today's 24.2C makes it the 130th day this year where the temperature has reached 20C or more. It took 2018 until October 16th to reach 129 - so plenty of chances for this year's total to increase.

A high of 24.5C today, the warmest September 29th since 2011. BUT late warmth (into October) isn't that unusual over the last decade or so

With the mean temp for the first 12 days of September being 3.2C above average and looking at prospects for the rest of the month (average to warm) it is unlikely there'll be any echo of previous Septembers in super El Nino years...

Somewhat south of the past 24 hours' rainfall action - -just 2mm here. The month total stands at 26.9mm, 52% of the whole month average. The Redbridge roundabout EA gauge is still out of action.

Dreadful company of which I left 25 years ago - it went downhill after being taken over by the US company Gannett. They sacked a lot of the journalists, sold off countless buildings etc. Their 'newspapers' are a shell of what they once were.

This is why humans should maintain the ability of critical thinking instead of handing over everything to AI to the point that many say 'well if it's on there it must be right!' The world is in a very dangerous place.

Another 9.2mm of rain after 10am yesterday brought the event total to 18.3mm, the greatest 'super soaker' (non thundery, torrential) rain event at this station since January 8th. The kind of rain that recharges the land.
