The past few days has been spectacular with cloud free skies and warm sunshine courtesy of high pressure. Today’s not a bad day either with plenty of warm sunshine on offer but an abrupt change arrives through tomorrow.

Current temps.

The high pressure zone responsible for this fine settled spell peaked in strength yesterday hence the lack of clouds even during the warmest part of the day when you’d normally expect cumulus to bubble up.

Yesterday’s highs

Though warm with widespread low to mid 20s, the focus of heat wasn’t over the Southeast as you’d expect but has been over NW Highland with Kinlochewe topping the UK warm spot twice in a row with 27C, today is more over the heart of England.

Here are a few images of the clear blue sunny skies over Scotland yesterday.

Hope you’ve enjoyed it because we have a taste of autumn coming with spells of heavy rain accompanied by gales. The first of two potentially disruptive Atlantic lows sweeps in Friday-Saturday and another follows Sunday-Monday.

Storm 1 looks to focus on England and Wales.

Storm 2 appears to focus more on Scotland.

Expect gales for the coast, gusty inland!
