Spectacular cloudage above the Surrey Hills today. Cirrocumulus in bands converging towards the horizon, composed of supercooled water droplets producing spectacular iridescence through diffraction. Virga trails of heavier ice crystals drifted down where the water droplets froze spontaneously.

There’s much talk about it turning colder through this week. Don’t be fooled by the blues on the charts: Temperatures will merely be dropping from above normal to normal. It won’t be “cold” by any means. Crossposted with @openvibe.social

It’s a real struggle to decide who to vote for now. I don’t align with Labour policies, couldn’t bring myself to vote Reform, have strong beliefs we should continue moving towards net zero and don’t believe we should fully rejoin the EU! I don’t think I’m the only one with such a dilemma.

It's the lastest date on record without a hurricane forming in the Atlantic hurricane season, partly thanks to El Nino. However, forecasters have been monitoring the potential for a Medicane to form over the central Mediterranean.
