Always so useful to plan ahead for building…and gardening! Thank you😀

[@andrewshore262]

Informative but utterly depressing……

[@ivantate]

[@veryhappychappy12]

I noticed that too.

[@cristinag.7420]

The app !!! Please don' t get me started, we should not have that stupid app on the phone, its never right!!!

[@cristinag.7420]

What happened with Sunday??? Its Saturday strait to Monday !!😂😂😂 i think no one knows how the weather its on Sunday😂😂😂

[@M-e-t-a-l-l-i-c-a_fan]

Warm air, meeting with cold, tornadoes?? Joking. Thankyou Alex.

[@rachelsteele7699]

Nooooo😢please don’t let it rain again and then get really windy. I’m sorry I don’t like autumn and winter.

[@Gary0557]

Best time of the year.

[@peterbadman6668]

I love it.

[@CherylFrancis-fn1uf]

Me too...cosy days and even cosier evenings!

[@truthforall1303]

No rain but autumn and winter are ok BUT NO rain please

[@sdeee3842]

Me either!😢

[@SBUK2010]

Thanks Al 💪🏼

[@Notasmurf-vw6to]

So on Sunday, it’s back to stormy weather with NW floods again until January?

[@Monaleenian]

Then guaranteed cold conditions until about the middle of April. Then changeable weather until this time next year.

[@NickNackpaddywhack]

I saw the pillar of light caused by ice crystals after sunset yesterday .

[@WattTyler-s1b]

A few days of sunshine. Maybe two weeks. Then a Thunderstorm. Then the rain starts up again lol. Bau

[@colinknowles2615]

Love autumn can't stand summer

[@alanwilkinson9487]

Don't worry, you'll soon get recaptured. 😊

[@bordersw1239]

What summer 😂

[@jamesdoherty2811]

You're living in the right Country then seeing as our Summer's only last a couple of weeks 😂

[@dottyp137]

Thanks Alex

[@unit148popo]

If this turns out to be accurate because it never is il eat my socks

[@alfeersum]

Need some rain. I've got cracks in my garden. But the rain needs to be persistent drizzle for days, not massive sporadic downbursts followed by blasting winds to dry it all out.

[@TrishaAAllen]

😊 great thank you

[@jerryat187]

Thanks

[@ianbrown2984]

Autumn is the most beautiful season of the year.

[@scooterbrooks]

Thanks Alex. Very informative!👍🏻

[@brightsunshinyday]

Hi Alex - I read somewhere recently that the "Beast from the East" works on a 7 year cycle. If that's the case - I think we're due for the next one in 2025. Is there any basis to this - or data to back it up (or discredit it)?

[@sollyolly9547]

As a coldie, what I'd give for this set-up in December, January and February! But no doubt by then we'll have 'mild' (ie warm) temperatures...the seasons have gone to pot. Ah well.

[@MG-cp8xk]

What postage stamp prediction is right more often?

[@M-e-t-a-l-l-i-c-a_fan]

Ride the Lightning!!!

[@greybeardmodels]

Great stuff, looking forward to some wind and rain 👍

[@DMiddleton-bj5wc]

Re the height of that cold pool in the upper atmosphere....just give us the height in miles please!!

[@alayneperrott9693]

Er, no thanks. My daughter, who is 37, was never taught imperial units at school.

[@DMiddleton-bj5wc]

@@alayneperrott9693 Yes but everything in the real world is still in miles. We still measure distance in miles in the UK.

[@DavidPowellG3XLW]

I don't. I was taught metric measurements in school. That was in the 1960s.

[@DMiddleton-bj5wc]

@@DavidPowellG3XLW Yes but you're missing the point, we still measure distance in miles, there are still legacy units in common usage from the imperial system. The Met Office could just give both units...that surely would please both of us!

[@johnadams6771]

Roughly round about 3.4 miles or 18,000 feet

[@KateHappiness-i1f]

Really liked your explanation about how the cold pool would affect the weather. Thank you always interesting and informative.

[@gulfstream7235]

For all their qualifications and computer models these guys might as well be staring into a ditch when it comes to forecasting the weather more than 5 days ahead. Mother nature is never going to be an exact science...

[@ImAchipNot]

Yep the thunderstorm is the part where I’ll be napping where I’ll be napping cuz there ain’t no way I’m gonna be awake with 8 hours of thunder

[@freespirit6209]

Very interesting - thanks!

[@emmaearnshaw3282]

....then Surf!

[@zoeilobowdery8778]

We need some rain grass needs it for the fields at my yard so we can have grazing fields look but yellow 🇬🇧

[@markhodgkinson8431]

Thanks for the not welcomed news ,was just getting to like this lastest blast of summer

[@Pieface530]

So are we getting a storm ?

[@metoffice]

Thunderstorms.... in the south on Friday and Saturday

[@onlyonebenjohnson]

When you say "we've run the programme very many times" and produced your postage stamp output, what do you actually mean? If you simply repeatedly ran the same programme with the same software you'd get the same results. Clearly you don't. So what is changing?

[@MG63]

Many different computer models.

[@andyhowland-s5q]

Is it me or are these forecasts becoming increasingly more complicated? The detail and imagery is way too in depth for the majority of people who simply wish to know the weather forecast and not whether a "cold pool" is sitting above us causing hot air to rise faster etc. By all means keep the 'deep dive' forecasts for those that wish to have a greater understanding but keep it simple for the majority who probably want to know the appropriate clothes to wear. Thankyou.

[@andydixon9553]

Too in depth for the (majority)? Only your opinion! Every days a learning day, love it😃😃

[@MG63]

Absolutely ridiculous comment. Just watch the basic forecasts in future.

[@marccarter1350]

Great end to a great summer

[@Kevin-vc9nw]

Around about the 21st of this onthe I class that as statcof autumn

[@466047]

Please use feet for heights.

[@MG63]

Please use google converter for heights.

[@PeterGibson-u8l]

Thank you, Alex
