A Cold Night ahead across Scotland
After a fairly pleasant day despite mostly cloudy skies but brightness filtering through nontheless meant a pleasant autumn day across much of the country remaining dry for most spots after daylight returned this morning. It was windy in parts of the Highlands as well as the Central Belt earlier this morning, I certainly felt the brisk breeze blowing when unloading pallets this morning at Grangemouth before heading back to base at Bathgate.
After a day which brought a crisp 52-degree high at my house and across much of Central Scotland, skies will clear and with light winds I expect mainy places between Greenock and Edinburgh to take a run at freezing with frost forming. That's a forecast of 30-35 degree lows, perhaps creeping into the upper 20s in sheltered rural spots, even within the Lowlands between Glasgow, Edinburgh and up to Perth.
The Highlands may see lows creep into the mid-20s under the same conditions, we're now at that time when temps bottom out more easily when skies and clear and winds light, all the heat gets transported back to space, known as radiational cooling. The limiting factor stopping "maximum" radiational cooling is bare ground, when snow covers the ground (which is only a matter of time now for the Highlands), then temps plummet even better and thus ALL ingredients are there for the strongest type of radiational cooling.
FORECAST LOWS TONIGHT
My house 32 degrees

Vagaries of the Weather
India & Sub-Continental Asia Weather

The deep depression, BoB3, in place over Bay of Bengal as of now on its way towards a landfall on the Orissa coast. Latest position shows the centre at lat 19.0N and long 87.0E, about 220 km east-southeast of Gopalpur, and the core pressure at 998 mb with quadrant winds at 55-60 kmph.
Constantly, this system is being sheared by easterly winds aloft, so most of its deep convective clouds and rains lie western quadrant.
Most forecast models show the system tracking westward, and should make a landfall between near Gopalpur within a few hours of 1200 UTC, Friday. The question is, whether this will be a tropical cyclone at landfall, as easterlies persisting aloft through the time of landfall favors a cap on intensity.
Surface wind suggest the potential for gales--before landfall.
Inland, the system whirl will move west/northwest, reaching M.P. and crossing thru Vidharbha, before tracking on again, and weakening rapidly.
That means, this system will precipitate unusual heavy rain in regions where SWM has retreated or should have retreated by now.
The coming of a depression now at this stage has completely pushed aside the "anti cyclone" and is now "sneaking in" in a monsoon depression after the "scales had turned unfavourably" for the SWM. And, I think it is the first deep depression to come from the bay since June !!
Long Live the SWM !!
Latest position of deep depression @ 3p.m.: Only 60 kms south-east of Puri at 19.50N and 86.00E. Winds at 55-60 kmph. Expected to cross inland thru Orissa in a few hours.
Crossing the coast means the centre of the system has moved inland. In the current case, the centre is to the east of the major clouding, as always mentioned and explained in this blog.
Image shows the western quadrant visible in the current system, and the central pressure area is seen as a clear area off the coast.
