I know we probably have enough visualisations of #StormÉowyn/#StormEowyn now but as @metoffice.bsky.social don't upload their #4cast here yet, I thought I'd have a go.

My eccode definitions are so broken for KNMI that it was easier to "quickly" recode my 4x4 visualisation for UKV data...
Still needs some tweaks but I didn't want to miss the snow

With its large dry slot & pronounced 'hook', #StormFloris is a sight to behold as it crosses the UK this afternoon. If only it wasn't so disruptive, especially for Scotland.
Check out those long tails of cloud stretching out across the North Atlantic too. A windstorm with flair.

Note to self: level 0 for KNMI must be surface temperatures, not 2m temperatures because I'm not sure it's going to be 34c in London tomorrow...

I remember when the first ensemble run featured 40°C in England back in 2022. At the time it was generally dismissed, though some rightly noted that it means such temperatures are considered physically possible.
So seeing this today raises eyebrows. I’m not saying it’ll happen.
