scotty1 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Tonight will be one of the last clear nights in central and eastern areas for a week or so. Next week looks mostly cloudy especially the further east you are. So make the most of tonight. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy-kat Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Having just looked outside Jupiter (the only thing visible) is now too far over to the street light in that direction, and from the heat of today it looks like pea soup is brewing up. I'll check again in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbyisbest Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 The Met Office and BBC Westher is telling me it is clear at the moment here in the east. Accuweather and Apple’s weather app says it’s cloudy. For the moment, I’m all set up and waiting, hoping my taxes are on the money tonight. At least I got a good 90 minutes in last night just before midnight, but was left hungry for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterStudz Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Total cloud cover now in Southampton. I expect it’ll stay that way for the night And it’s been sunny all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekwango Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 was looking promising earlier here on the north Antrim coast.....it does not appear that promise will hold up 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty1 Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Apologies the cirrus cloud has spilled ahead of the next low already 🤬 https://en.sat24.com/en/gb Edited November 25, 2022 by scotty1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoflewis Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 With forecast clear skies tonight, I watched the football confident that I'd be able to image Mars afterwards, but after crap game, I went outside to see yet more cloud piling in.... 😠. When will it give us a break.....😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy-kat Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Was clear but have just come in and sat24 shows it's about to cloud. The visibility was awful though so tried platesolving for a first and managed to solve once and sync the mount yey! Solving was probably not helped by using a planetary camera with x1.6 barlow, slow going on a 7 inch tablet but doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterStudz Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Down south at least there’s a suggestion in the forecast that Monday night & Tuesday morning might actually be clear. I have work on Tuesday but if it does turn out clear I’ll still go for the lack of sleep - with lack of clear sky’s it has to be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zermelo Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 There has obviously been a lot of rain, but I've also noticed that (here in the South West, at any rate) the forecasts have been very inaccurate over the last 2-3 weeks. In particular, Clear Outside has often been saying "100% cloud" when the sky outside has been perfectly clear. The BBC and Met Office forecasts have been a bit better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we’ve had a few unexpectedly clear nights recently, though unfortunately I haven’t been able to make use of them 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratlet Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Scotland's resident Facebook weather guru Windy Wilson has said there is a change coming with a high pressure developing in the north east. Hopefully mean some clearer skies. Also noticed the CA app showing cloudy when it's been clear. Seems to be mostly high clouds with me.

I’m generally relying on actually going out and looking with my own eyes 😆 I’ve got about 10hours of imaging this week, between clouds. I’ve found that the forecasts contradict lately but generally bbc weather has been correct. When they’ve both been correct, CS has been spot on with the times when cloud has rolled in for an hour (or as I call it…dark frame hour). On that note, both are predicting clear skies from midnight tonight and also from about 7pm Monday here… fingers crossed! 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certainly a change coming if you look at the forecasts. On social media many of the weather types, especially the amateur ones, have been getting very excited about the possibility of some very cold weather that we might get from around mid-December on. Although at least initially (first week of December), possibly after that too, the high pressure appears to be of the annoying cloudy type. Of course there could well be breaks and forecasts are often inaccurate or even totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratlet Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I could do with a bit of an extended break in the clouds. I've been reduced to sketching other people's astro photos. Not enough fuzzy gray blob and too much detail for my liking! WW is pretty decent and bet hedging to the max, but I'm hoping that a change from this persistent barrage of storms of the Atlantic will bring more favourable conditions 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronomist Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Clouded over on Friday for me at about 10PM. Just looked at the forecast, the south is supposed to be cloudy as far ahead as BBC weather goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Q Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 If AccuWeather is correct i wont be getting any observing done for the next couple of months. Ohio is well into its cloudy season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty1 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 High Pressure does not always result in clear skies. Any moisture picked up over seas can mean cloudy weather is pushed inland. In winter this often happens when North east winds drag cloud in from the North Sea. The cloud in the southeast England might clear in the early hours. Wales Ireland and Scotland are having clear intervals but showers too. https://en.sat24.com/en/gb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
