@metoffice.bsky.social It’s been many months and several storms but still my favourite observation station is offline…perchance it got blown away last year? What else is a weather geek to do?

Two youths glancing guiltily at me as I walked in to the pool changing rooms. The hastily-but-not-hastily enough hidden vape was the obvious cause of their discomfort. I dislike vaping, but I really dislike the fact that I’m now considered a grown up from who such transgressions must hidden.

The rain has stopped, the skies clear and the mercury falls. Perfect evening to be sat on a clifftop with only stars and waves for company. A rare treat with 4 planets visible too. #stargazing #astronomy #ukweather #winternights

And on the second day of Yule, the SecondHomes and AirBnBs shall be filled. Travellers from distant lands will don their gay apparel, and tread the provinces in search of festive cheer.

Happy Amateur Season everyone! Tis the holiday to try New Things…🧵 🎁 Amazon Prime member? Try a 9-hour high street gift quest for your usually estranged family. 🚙 Daily commute only 5 miles? Try an 11 country, 600 mile motorway epic to un-estrange that family.

Treatment options for this grotty cold: NightNurse: £1.20 a shot, ridiculous gatekeeping by pharmacy, tastes ‘orrible, one shot only. Shackleton whiskey: £0.90 a shot, smiley checkout staff, tastes magic, fire for effect. Sadly not in the BNF yet.

#StormBert starting to crash in to the south coast. The sea at that wave buoy is only about 6m deep. #ukweather

Light dusting of snow in Westbourne, Dorset. Guessing there will be a run on such Antarctic-style survival foods like bread and milk. #ukweather #uksnow
