This mornings blend of the GEFS 06z and ECMWF 00z Ensemble runs for #StormAusten
Both of the controls from recent runs have been tracking further south and have the low centre running along the coast of France.
This would take a lot of the strongest winds into Brittany and Normandie.
There will still be some strong winds in SW England where an Amber weather warning has been issued by the Met Office this morning, for gusts of 60-70mph with some exposed areas reaching 80mph.

A striking black-and-white monkey from the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been confirmed as a species new to science following years of uncertainty over its taxonomic status: f.mtr.cool/okohhhfduu
☺️☺️☺️
Natural England has revealed that it does not believe White Storks to be native to Britain – and it views releases of the species as not a conservation priority: bit.ly/4trku5u

Manx Shearwater chick EM82816 was last seen on 26th August, its wing about 10mm short of fledging length. It was found exhausted on a Brazilian beach on 8th October, 43 days later. So 216km a day and in reality a lot more than that
