Delighted to see you showcasing the width and depth of the scientific expertise at the Met Office! ❤
"Flabby old weather patterns": I love the description a lot more than the weather it continues to produce! Thanks for another super-enthused DD. Great stuff!
Thank you Alex, I really enjoyed the deep dive this week and I shall be looking up whenever I can as the swifts have arrived home for the summer and watching them is the best medicine I can think of.😊
I am a truck driver and on Monday I was delivering in Plymouth and it was very wet and at times very windy. A few hundred miles north in Swindon where I am based it was dry and a bit further in Oxfordshire it was 18c and sunny . Amazing how different our weather can be across the country.
You’re a cheery chap Alex. Professional as well. You make weather seem easy.
That's very kind Laura, lucky that I love my job ❤
@@metoffice Would you please explain in one of your deep dives what causes low pressure systems to form overhead when the jetstream curves around to the south of the UK?
Very many thanks indeed Alex! What an absolutely fantastic Deep Dive with you this evening, just about every minute was filled with such interesting facts and stats, brilliant!! 😮Bring on Christa/Krista and even more thrills and spills!! It was stunning just how tiny Earth looks compared to the sun…WOW!!! 😮Totally stunning!! We were able to get some very good shots of the Aurora on Friday, but nothing compared with some I saw on Twitter! DD was just brilliant tonight thanks Alex, very many thanks, I’ll save it as normal and LOVE it. Thanks to the Met for your work and take care everyone 😊
My dream was to see the northern lights once in my lifetime, but to see them from my back garden, was a magical experience. ❤️
What a great conversation between you and Krista.
Super insightful and some great questions being answered! Thank you Alex, Krista and the Met Office.
sharing the love ,thank you alex.
Thanks for this, really enjoyed this and thanks to for Krista for an explanation that didn't treat the audience as a bunch of 5 year olds. I was lucky to see the aurora on friday and could not quite believe what I was seeing, it was incredible - knowing its a first for 20 years makes me feel lucky to have been out to see it
Krista did a fantastic job of explaining the technical details of the recent aurora in an easily digestable way. 👍
Really enjoyed this week's, the space weather was very interesting, great idea bringing the two together
Seeing the aurora from my garden in East Sussex was the most incredible experience. Simply stunning. Great info - more plz
Fantastic deep dive, loved the Aurora borealis section
I like the message at the end. Very commendable, I wish kids would take note of such a basic approaches to preserving their mental health.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoying the Space Forecast today, reminds me of The Sky At Night
Thank's Alex always enjoy your presentation.
Hi Alex my favourite time of the week. Love the deep dive
Hi and thanks
Great vid as always
I was lucky enough.. splendid show of aurora…. Bucket list ✅
Thank you, Alex
Great to see Krista again for more space weather, I would love to see more from Krista on how space weather impacts Earths weather such as the charged atmosphere and lightning storms as a result of space weather and Solar storms and even the impacts to seismicity, Earthquakes and Volcanoes!?
Alex thank you for a super deep dive and for sharing mental health awareness week. ❤
This was a really interesting deep dive, it usually is but this one was particularly fascinating. Thanks Alex.
Absolutely Brilliant all ! Fascinating 👋👋👋
So the deep dive clued me in on all the happenings leading up to what I missed on Friday night!
This is really interesting and educational - and so well presented. Thank you!
I should love to see some videos devoted to severe weather events going on around the world and in the news. I think this would enhance public understanding, not just in the UK, but in counties where their met services don't have access to satellite data or forecasting models of the quality of UKMO (and ECMWF).
Excellent deep dive. I also missed the Aurora. Tried Saturday night, but only my camera picked up any faint colours. Hope it's not another 20+ years and we get another chance this year
Viewing a Weather Deep Dive presented by Alex is like viewing an exciting episode of James Bond.
Great show, loved the space weather segment
Absolutely brilliant Alex, thanks so much
Wow absolutely fascinating 😁
Thanks Alex , a very interesting deep dive . Krista ,( I hope I spelled her name correctly ) , always adds a spark to the proceedings . A very interesting Lady . I feel educated and entertained .
Hi Alex I think some members of the public would be really interested to see some of the tech behind your forecasts, the super computer how the data is pulled in and used etc. what do you think would something like that be possible in the future?
Great comment thaks Ashley, we can definitely look at that
Aurora was amazing 😮
I missed it 😒
It was very informative deep dive Alex.
@@metofficeme too
So did I
@@metoffice Oh dear, there's no excuse for you to miss it :D
Great stuff
I'm on the east coast of Scotland, but despite the haar, I thoroughly enjoyed that update, especially with the explanation of the superb display of the northern lights which I was fortunate enough to witness (well, at least my camera was ... haha!)
Thank you for pointing out the biblical rain we had in Manchester (and other areas) - yes, Old Trafford is leaky, but not many buildings would have coped with that volume of water in such a short period!
i do love the deep dive
Really fascinating Deep Dive.Thank you Alex.Unfortunately I never saw the Aurora! Seriously though I think that I have be made aware of sun spot cycles through many years of short wave radio listening.Through propagation reports, the effects that sun spots have on radio signals. Once again,thank you for an absorbing Deep Dive
That was great 👍 thanks ❤
It would be great if the met office did a Space Weather video like the weather. Be great for us amateurs in the UK
I’m a teaching assistant in a primary school and love to impart my weather knowledge to the children, courtesy of these deep dives.
Every days a school day, even for us adults!
It would be interesting to know how rain fall is measured. 5mm of water in a test tube is quite different from that of a cereal bowl for example. Perhaps you could explain this please on one of your videos.
Thank you.

A question about accuracy of forecasts: On Sunday (12/5/24) I wanted to go hiking in the South-East (south of London, lets say in Hampshire/Surrey - in the direction of the M3). I checked the forecast the night before and on Sunday morning. Both suggested that there was rain moving in from the west arriving late in the afternoon, but the M3 'corridor' would be on the edge of it. There was would also be thunderstorms forming as the afternoon went on, These would be from an area north of (approximately) Basingstoke/Guildford towards London. The only way to avoid these thunderstorms would have been to hike nearer to the coast (towards Southampton) as the region near the coast had no thunderstorms forecast.
In reality, as you showed in this deep dive presentation, there were no thunderstorms in the region described (they were mainly in the North West). I checked the observations later on Sunday evening and there was no thunderstorms (or rain) south of London in this area i.e. the forecast was completely wrong.
I understand that predicting exactly where thunderstorms will occur is difficult (one place may be getting a torrential downpour whereas a few miles away might be completely dry). However, this was a failure to predict in which REGION the thunderstorms were likely to occur.
My question is why was this forecast was so inaccurate in terms of thunderstorms, given that it was made only hours before the time of interest?
I missed the Aurora on the Friday night I was tired so fell asleep.
Thank you mr weather man 😊
Here's a link to the previous deep dive with Krista on Space weather czcams.com/video/AK9kvlNwwQY/video.htmlsi=abTz5ExBDMJv0jmV
Awesome thunderstorms in Lancashire last sunday. Roll on the next lot 👌⚡️
The big sunspot shown started as 2 that morphed into 1 huge one. As a radio amateur operator, I see these wiping out the radio communications
I could hear and see the rain from Macclesfield over Manchester.
We got a few drips. Crazy have a dozen or so miles can make.
Christa's Ace 😊
Top stuff. Keep them coming
I live in Victoria BC Canada and I was led here by a facebook friend in York. I have a question, We had very light cloud in Victoria for the Aurora, luckily I had a friend from up north visiting (who had seen them before). He went outside for a smoke and called me out, "its starting!". But there was no aurora yet, the clouds just looked really weird! Those directly above us lined up more or less east to west like roll clouds. A little while later, they became like lines of longitude in a planetarium with a "pole" just to the south of the middle of the sky. Nearly all the lines came from the northern part of the sky and about this time the aurora itself started. Then, for the next 3 hours, the aurora and the the lines waxed and waned (pretty much the clouds disappeared then appeared again as the fine lines) with a period time of about 20 minutes. Aurora was mostly green to the north with pink to the north west. The lines were white cloud, like very skinny contrails, except at that "pole" where they got fluffy where they met. When I described this to John in York, he said he did see very faint pink lines directly above him when he happened to look straight up, but didn't know if it was aurora related because he barely saw the aurora at all. So anyways, i have another friend who lived way up North in Dawson Creek, and she knew about the cloud thing too. My question is, why do so few people know about the clouds lining up? That was the most amazing part for me. A lot more amazing that the coloured lights because it took over the northern half the sky.. I posted about it on a physics forum, but few believe me. I grew up in Ireland, so I have seen a heck of a lot of clouds, but I never saw anything like this. Definitely a highlight. I presume the charged particles were following lines of the earth's magnetic field, and acting like they would in a cloud chamber over me, and they ionized nitrogen over John in York. I'd love to hear if anyone else noticed it. Brian
Afternoon Alex when are we going to have more dryer weather and sunny weather and the heatwave I got a Tenby trip on the 12th of June I don't want any rain on that day
Afternoon. Signs of high pressure later next week which would suggest drier weather but it's not a strong signal. Too early to speculate on mid June - keep watching our 10 day trends
Can you also tell me if it will be 27.4°c with a WSW wind of 6.15knts at 17:36 on the 14th of September 2024 😆
Still interesting deep dive. Can you see the chart where the computer runs are done to show high or low pressure on the internet? It might help people get a long range forecast.
Hello Alex. Always a big fan of your Deep Dives. I’m wondering - how is it decided who presents? A rota? It seems yourself and Aidan are the senior pros, with Annie and the other Alex learning from you. All the best - Paul
It's been very muggy here in West Yorkshire.
It's a bit reverby in there maybe some acoustic foam up in the wall behind the camera out of sight 👍
Hi we have had gales here in Carmarthen yesterday and today yet it wasn't said on the BBC weather forecast 😳
Would you please explain in one of your deep dives what causes low pressure systems to form overhead when the jetstream curves around to the south of the UK?
What sort of things can be done by companies to protect infrastructure from geomagnetic storms if they receive a warning?
Hello - hope you enjoyed the weekend of heat and northern lights
Quick question how does humidity play a factor in temperature etc with %s etc. Am a bit dumb lol
Humidity affects the feel. 25C in high humidity 'feels' hotter as it's harder to sweat and keep cool. Lower humidity (drier heat) doesn't feel as oppressive
Why is it you only find out ,after the event..😮
I'm sorry but Tue has been a nice evening
We did need the showers
Wow,wow, wow
I'm not sure if i'd call it lucky seeing an aurora this far south. How far are we off the next Carrington event, yet alone the next pole shift? I think I'll stick to Suspicious0bservers for space weather. This has really been downplayed.
You still need a lot of things to come together to have such a great view as far south as Devon - clear skies etc
Carrington event will be nice to see. Being able to read a book under the glow of Aurora at midnight.
@@metoffice Yes but auroras usually are visible only near the magnetic poles of the Earth because our magnetosphere is strong enough to repel them. Since the Carrington even charged telegraph lines to the point where they were working without batteries and setting fires the same level flare today would wipe out most technology?
Please invite Krista back to explain what would happen if we had a 1859 "Carrington" Solar Event in 2024...
Well that was cool ..
Oooks like showers will stay. Very average weather for the uk.
Sadly the weather has changed.
Is that an omega block at 04:50?
It was amazing sight.
🙂
Alex I didn’t even know there was an aura idk how to spell but I was fast asleep
Iam on holiday on the 10 of June in the Cotswolds will it be dry then
Yes... at times 😆. Too early to say watch 10 day trend next week for first clues
Thanks Alex
It Was Thundering On Sunday
Indeed it was
@@metoffice With Lightning Strikes
I’m in south east I didn’t see it
wow a Scottish voice, very unusual
Going cold?
By the power of RA 🔆🫰🏼💥💯
IN?
@@metoffice I'm in 💯🙏🏼
You are the weather 🐐💯💯🙏🏼
Are you able to do a deep dive on how you measure totals E.g rain fall totals ect? your always saying about so many mm of rain ect.
Good idea Dan, thanks
@@metoffice Thank you met .
What are the 2 other objects next to the sun?
I think they are satellites
@@metoffice At 21:13, they look a little large for satellites and aren't orbiting earth?
Can someone confirm if these are planets?
@@nc8313 Sorry I thought you were talking about on the graph picture. On the imagery Krista has told me they ARE planets, Jupiter on left Venus on right.
@metoffice Thanks for clarifying! And appreciate the update!
Remember. It’s a forecast not a news cast. 😂😂
Another abysmal sporadic something from the Met Office 🫣
Thanks for watching🙂
Thank's Alex always enjoy your presentation.
