The one on fire is pointing in the opposite direction to the other two, relevant?

I've just had a very smug note on fb from an ex-classmate at uni about this (Along with a request to befriend): he now works in the nuke industry and "thinks" accordingly. You can imagine the riposte

Apparently it wasn't going round. The wind damaged something electrical and....pouf.

Wind power failures are rubbish - no clouds of radiation, no contaminated water ways, no billion dollar clean up, no deaths, no ground rendered unusable for the foreseeable future... Hey, no one even died!

Another one!

Here's the forecast for Tuesday - a 948mb depression. Don't tell me this is normal.

"Depression is the new Normal"...

All normal.......

By the way Biff, those images are copyright and the Met Office can get a bit unhappy if people post them. You might be better putting in the link.

Over the last few weeks there has been a significant low pressure anomaly (from the 1981-2010 mean climatology) from 55 degrees northwards over Europe. So, rather by definition, the weather hasn't been 'normal' for this time of year. But then we also know November was anything but normal, being the warmest on record over Scotland and the 2nd warmest over the UK. The UK average temperature for November was ~2C warmer than usual, and the northern half of Scandinavia was ~6C warmer!
