The wet and windy, with occasional snow, 2020/2021 thread
Discussion
Bit of an odd start - seems the Cairngorms have already had snow.
Storm Alex is nudging me to create the thread now - nasty tight storm which is centered around the Channel Islands.
Wet and windy weekend for all - copious rainfall expected.
Longer term, some high pressure could pop up - with a northerly wind. Frost-tastic.
I have a hunch this season will be cooler than usual.

IN. After the utter washout of last winter I'll take anything this winter. Repeat of 2018 please.
The wind is moving in a strange way today. We normally get the rain hitting the back of the house, and today it's the front of the house. Bloody windy too!

Oof!
Now look at this tweet from yesterday: https://twitter.com/metoffice/status/1311959472382...
It's barely moved. I haven't looked at the French news yet but it must be disastrous.
Cold winds from the north and NW for the next few days. Frost certainly on the cards.

Showers, showers, showers, and yet more showers, every day so far this month. I've been trying to do a little job on the rear screen of my car, which requires a dry day, but I've not had one for a solid fortnight. God, I miss having a garage 
Our little corner of West Berks is protected from 'April showers' (ie from the NW) by the bulk of Wales and the mountains. Haven't seen any of them. JakeT said:
It's bloody wet today, even nipping out to the garage was enough.
Pugs, what's the longer term like? I see Matt Hugo is posting a lot of pressure charts and the like, but I can't make head nor tail of them.

Long term in to Nov - most money erring towards high(er) pressure.
Bad news for the weekend - more yuck... https://twitter.com/bbcweather/status/131916662989...
Also at the end of the vid, you can see ex-Hurricane Epsilon start to appear mid-Atlantic. That will affect us mid-week.

Got a text from the marina on Tuesday about Storm Barbara and that we should check and maybe double up ropes on the boats. Can’t see anything violent on Auntie’s forecast for this area (Highest wind 18 on Saturday), so a little confused why we are getting warnings.
Had a very quick look at t’internet and is seems to have been coming up from Spain, to hit us yesterday. Anyone notice or was this just another warning that we might get some fairly normal U.K. October weather?
Yesterday was indeed Barbara, the rain was far worse than the wind. Worst winds were off the south coast, so was precautionary rather than expected.
