Looks like two bands of cloud moved in down here between 5 and 6.45am which stopped the temperature dipping any further.

Another beautiful low pressure system in the North Atlantic, which is ironically responsible for the warm weather being advected into SE England recently.

By the time most of us wake up tomorrow, we’ll officially be in astronomical autumn, following the #equinox which occurs at 01:05 BST. The sun will be directly over the Equator as it heads south towards the winter solstice on 21st December. The dark season begins…

@openvibe.social Are you aware of this annoying bug on iOS? When you type a hashtag, the position of the cursor gets mixed up, which makes editing almost impossible! Is been going on for months, including in iOS 26 and 27.

Interesting how the UK political party opinion polls are changing. Labour and Conservative neck & neck with Reform sliding, as expected after Farage’s recent stunt! I don’t think Burnham will fare well down south. Could we be heading back to the two party system? Crossposted with @openvibe.social

This is the seventh day in a row that the #heatwave threshold has been met in #Dorset. This is Dorset’s third such period this year. And each of these seven days has set a maximum temperature date record for my station. Better?

#Meteorology Q: On a day like this with extensive cirrus but lots of blue sky & bright sunshine, would this sky still be classed as 7 or 8 oktas cloud cover? Would a blue sky completely covered with a barely perceptible layer of cirrostratus be classed as 8 oktas? Crossposted with @openvibe.social
