Looking at starting a raspberry pi hosted UKWX Minecraft server... Testing has already begun and it's coping well. Who's interested? Hoping to release tomorrow if all goes well.

66031 has a new look. But it’s not finished. @DBCargoUK says the branding is for a long-standing aggregates company but as DBC is being sold, the correct FOC names and branding to be applied are, currently, unknown, hence why it’s in traffic today in this scheme.

REMNANTS OF BOELO — ADVISORY 17
Winds: 85 mph
MSLP: 961 mb
CWSIS: Remnant Low (RL)
Next Advisory: 2:00 PM — Final Advisory
CURRENT STATUS:
Boelo has transitioned into a powerful, hurricane-force remnant low, continuing as a post-windstorm system. Despite losing its extratropical cyclone classification, the system retains intense winds of up to 85 mph and a minimum central pressure of 961 mb. Hazardous winds may persist across affected areas of northwestern Europe as the remnants continue to track across the Norwegian Sea.
CURRENT SITUATION
The remnants of Boelo continue to track across the Norwegian Sea, maintaining a significant wind field despite its transition into a remnant low. The system retains maximum winds of 85 mph and a reported minimum central pressure of 961 mb, indicating that considerable storm energy remains associated with the circulation.
OVERVIEW
Boelo's remnants are bringing a broad area of unsettled and potentially hazardous weather across parts of northwestern Europe. Strong winds may affect exposed coastal areas, inland regions, and higher ground, while periods of heavy rain and rough seas may accompany the system. Conditions are expected to gradually evolve as the remnants continue to move away and weaken.
FORECAST TRACK
The latest plotted positions indicate continued movement across the Norwegian Sea, with the forecast track extending southeastward. The system's precise impacts will depend on its remaining circulation, forward speed, and interaction with surrounding weather systems.
🟡 YELLOW WIND WARNING
Yellow wind warnings cover broad areas of the affected region, highlighting the potential for disruptive gusts, difficult travel conditions, and localized impacts from falling branches or loose objects. Residents should remain alert to changing weather conditions.
🟠 AMBER WIND WARNING
An amber wind warning highlights an area where stronger or more disruptive winds may occur. Impacts could include travel disruption, damage to vulnerable structures, and hazardous conditions in exposed locations. Extra caution is advised in areas covered by this warning.
INTENSITY OUTLOOK
Although Boelo is classified as a remnant low, the advisory reports winds of 85 mph and a central pressure of 961 mb. Further weakening is possible as the system loses its organized extratropical characteristics, but hazardous winds may persist during the transition. The system's classification alone should not be taken as an indication that all threats have ended.
NEXT ADVISORY
The final advisory is scheduled for 2:00 PM, subject to the issuing agency's update schedule. Further bulletins may be discontinued as Boelo's remnants become absorbed into the broader weather pattern.
This description is based on the supplied Advisory 17 graphic and accompanying figures. Warning areas, forecast positions, and intensity values should be checked against the issuing service's latest official information before being used for real-world safety decisions.

Incredibly close to UK October MSLP record with 948.1 hPa at Stornoway at 22Z Saturday, but just slightly north of the centre of #Boelo. It's likely a lower MSLP value would have been recorded had there been an observation station farther south on Harris.
xitter.cf/danholley_/status/2113…
As Storm #Boelo tracks across N/NW Scotland on Sat night, its central pressure is likely to be 946-949 hPa.
The current UK Oct low MSLP record is 947.9 hPa (Storm Amy 2025). There's a chance we could beat this... just one week after near-record high MSLP

A weak tornado affected Portchester, Hampshire, just after midnight on 23 October, with a 1.6 km land track. It was associated with heavy showers that moved inland from the Channel, linked to Storm Austen. More details to follow after the analysis has concluded.

Hello,
We have seen a few reports of particularly intense, damaging winds, which occurred around midnight in Portchester and Gosport. If you have any information, including any photos of damage, we would like to hear from you.

The last of my #StormAusten video spam. Powerful gusts, but also a very strong sustained wind.
Cell here with a possible rotating updraft producing lightning. Worth watching as it heads towards the UK. Can't rule out a low-topped supercell as a decent environment. Can't completely rule out something tornadic.

Atlantic Depression Two - Advisory 1
Winds: 30mph
CWSIS: AD
MSLP: 1008mb
CURRENT SITUATION
Atlantic Depression Two Forms off Newfoundland and Labrador.
OVERVIEW
Atlantic Depression Two has formed in the North Atlantic just southeast of Newfoundland and Labrador, according to the storm-tracking graphic.
The system is depicted moving northeastward across the Atlantic, with forecast markers indicating a progression from Thursday into Saturday.
The projected track extends toward the waters west of the British Isles, while the colour-coded symbols illustrate the system's anticipated evolution in intensity.
FORECAST TRACK
The depression is being monitored for its potential to develop into a more significant windstorm as it travels across the ocean. Its eventual strength, precise track and any impacts on western Europe will depend on how the system develops and the surrounding atmospheric conditions.
Note: The image presents a forecast scenario, not confirmation that the projected intensification or track will occur. Official weather forecasts and warnings should be consulted for verified updates.

STORM AUSTEN — ADVISORY 13
Winds: 100 mph
CWSIS: Category 2 (C2)
MSLP: 974 mb
Next Advisory: 2:00 AM
POTENTIAL THREAT AREAS
Channel Islands • Southern England • Northern France • Belgium • Netherlands
CURRENT SITUATION
Storm Austen is depicted as a powerful extratropical cyclone, with maximum wind gusts of 100 mph and a minimum central pressure of 974 mb, classified as a Category 2 cyclone under the Cyclonic Windstorm Intensity Scale (CWSIS).
The projected track suggests that Austen could cross the English Channel before approaching the Channel Islands overnight into Friday.
If this forecast scenario materialises, the storm could bring severe winds, hazardous coastal conditions, significant travel disruption and potentially damaging gusts, particularly across exposed coastal areas and vulnerable infrastructure.
The timing and severity of any impacts will depend on the storm's actual track, forward speed and intensity. Residents in potentially affected areas should monitor official meteorological updates and follow local weather warnings as the situation develops.
Residents across the Channel Islands, southern England, northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands, particularly in exposed coastal areas, should monitor official forecasts for updates on potential wind hazards and coastal conditions.
FORECAST TRACK
The projected path indicates a potential threat to parts of northwestern Europe. The timing, severity and geographical extent of any impacts will depend on the storm's future movement and evolution. Changes to the forecast track or intensity could alter which areas experience the strongest winds.
YELLOW WIND WARNING
Areas within the yellow zone could experience locally disruptive winds, including difficult driving conditions, fallen branches, travel delays and isolated power interruptions. Residents should secure loose outdoor objects, exercise caution when travelling and monitor local forecasts.
AMBER WIND WARNING
The amber zone indicates the potential for more significant disruption. Exposed coastal communities, bridges, transport networks and vulnerable infrastructure could be affected by strong gusts. Residents should prepare for possible travel disruption, secure loose outdoor items and follow guidance from their national weather services.
RED WIND WARNING
The red zone represents the highest warning level shown on this graphic and indicates the potential for dangerous wind conditions. If severe gusts occur, possible impacts include falling trees, flying debris, structural damage, hazardous travel and widespread transport disruption.
Residents in any officially designated red warning area should follow emergency instructions, avoid unnecessary travel and stay away from exposed coastal locations and areas vulnerable to falling debris.
INTENSITY OUTLOOK
Storm Austen's intensity, wind distribution and forecast track may change as the system develops. Future advisories should reassess estimated wind speeds, central pressure, movement and the potential for impacts across affected regions.
NEXT ADVISORY
Scheduled update: 2:00 AM.
