A grey day, with the rain just starting. The weather radar shows very heavy rain over southwest Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the Met Office have issued a severe weather warning. I reiterate my advance warning for high winds in southern England this coming weekend. The weather will remain very changeable.
A warning is also in order for the Canadian West Coast, which should anticipate hurricane force winds in the next couple of days. An extremely active low pressure system will pass northeast towards the Alaskan / Canadian border. This in turn will pull a low pressure system north out of Mexico across the Mid Western USA, with a large plume of moisture associated with it. NWS have issued a warning for a winterstorm likely to cause major disruption to transport systems.
Today is the last day of the Atlantic and East Pacific hurricane seasons.
A jetliner has crashed in southwestern Turkey overnight, and it appears that none of the 56 people on board have survived. The plane came down some 8 miles short of its destination. More information here.

You are so up -to- date with all your information Guido.
ReplyDeleteI recently popped some photos of an ice-storm in Switzerland which someone sent to me a good while back. Now that's what I call a winter storm. It was certainly freaky.
Hope folks in the Mid West States stay safe in these predicted winter storms that are on their way.

I think the colder artic air we're getting is coming from our Canadian neighbors. They are always so generous with their weather. LOL The high winds are predicted to hit us Sunday night and Monday. Linda in Washington state
