Variable cloud, some sunny breaks, showers more isolated and winds not quite as strong from SSW at 40-60 km/hr. Lows 11-13 C and highs about 18 C. SUNDAY ... Partly to mostly cloudy, mild but turning a bit fresher during the day, passing showers or periods of rain developing. Moderate SW winds. Lows about 12 C and highs about 16 C. MONDAY to WEDNESDAY are likely to remain unsettled and breezy with temperatures closer to normal values, highs 11-14 C. There may be very strong winds at times towards the end of October. Yesterday I mentioned Gonzalo being involved, now looks more like a system following Gonzalo which will probably end up close to Greenland by the weekend after giving Bermuda a raking on Thursday morning. So another low, itself possibly of tropical origins, will then move along in the trailing cold frontal zone and models keep trying to develop this into a strong windstorm around Ireland, timing at this point is uncertain but Wednesday to Friday of the following week (22nd-24th) seem most likely. Meanwhile, my local weather on (holiday) Monday here was cloudy and mild with rain spreading in after a break at mid-day, rather heavy at times this evening, and associated with remnants of a typhoon which moved past Japan last week (the centre of that decaying storm is up around Alaska). The high here was about 16 C. Severe storms were widespread in the south central states with a few tornados reported. -- Peter for IWO
