Sunrise - predicting a good one??
Discussion
The met office do a good line in prediction 
.... Well I say good, you have to take your chances really.
Watch the farming weather on a sunday and make a note of any fine days. Also keep an eye out for clear cold nights. If you can see stars on the way back from the pub (stars in the sky that is) it's likely to be a good morning.

Back in Ye Olde Days (i.e. 3 or 4 years ago) the BBC weather forecasts on TV used to show the synoptic pressure chart. To anyone with GCSE (or in my case O level) Geography, you could tell more about the weather by looking at that for 5 seconds than the presenter and their swoopy maps could tell you in 2 minutes.
Anyway, if there is a high pressure over the UK then it will probably be good weather. Not much cloud, misty mornings and lots of sun. In autumn the ground is still warm and moist, the cool air above it makes the water vapour condense into a mist. If you want to scare the neighbours, the correct name for this is radiation fog (because it is due to the heat radiating off into space). Unfortunately this sort of mist doesn't last long because the sun is still fairly strong and soon heats up the air near the ground.
At the moment, there is a high pressure to the east of us, which is pulling cold clear air down from the arctic and helping give what can only be described as autumnal weather. Which is clearly an outrage in these times of climate change.
A high pressure over the Azores (bottom central of the map here http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast/pressure/ ) usually means that whatever weather we have will remain fairly stable. At the moment it is stable-ish (technical expression). Unfortunately it won't tell you what the weather is going to be like in your precise part of the world.
