Dark chocolate hobnobs I reckon, but Oscar Onley could rock up with some quality shortbread

My mind is immediately drawn to the biscuits that citees will bring to hearings, potential for some fabulous Galettes from Breton riders, Stroopwafels from Dutch perhaps?

Some wintry weather possible in the south mid week

Headline: "Scientists discover emperor penguin colony in Antarctica using satellite images"

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

That's from Le Tour website...but usually draft until a couple of months beforehand till they get the precise route between the waypoints nailed down with the authorities

Oh my word!!

Stage details of the 2027 men's Tour de France grand départ in Britain unveiled, Edinburgh-Carlisle and Keswick-Liverpool look like sprint finishes, then Stage 3 from Welshpool to Cardiff is hillier and has the Côte de Caerffili near the finish

Oooo

A stunning view from space today!

Snow: Notice the bright white areas, for example over the hills of northern Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales; that’s lying snow❄️

Showers: Out to the east and west, you can see clusters of bubbly, textured clouds. These are wintry showers 🌨️

Is it snowing where you are? Or maybe you woke up to a dusting of snow this morning...❄️

Here's the latest showing where the wintry showers are currently falling ⤵️

He looks absolutely furious!

A band of heavy rain will make for a very wet commute home this evening. Strong southeasterly winds in places will add to the difficult driving conditions, so take care on the roads 🌧️

An "extraordinary discovery" in Orkney is archeologists sinking a trench at random and finding absolutely nothing of any significant historical interest.

Packham? I'd expect any teenager doing A level Geography or Chemistry to be able to explain that.

Noticed this in a few recent events now. Seem to be very few journalists working in Wales out of normal hours. The Argus is doing a bit of better job than most though

A truly devastating situation unfolding

#Melissa now sustained 175mph, gusts over 200mph

Central pressure 906hpa

Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, is forecast to bring catastrophic damage to parts of the Caribbean

The mountains of Jamaica could receive 1 metre of rain, resulting in life-threatening flash flooding and landslides

Destructive winds and storm surges are also likely

Screenshot from evening update from NOAA's National Hurricane Center regarding dire impacts from Melissa in Jamaica and Haiti.

This evening's update from the U.S. National Hurricane Center on #Melissa is ominous, and explicitly mentions: "catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding...extensive infrastructural damage...and potentially prolonged isolation of communities" in both Jamaica & Haiti.

Official graphic depicting potential rainfall from Melissa in the Carribbean from the National Hurricane Center. Over 30-40 inches may locally fall in the mountains of Jamaica. Note that additional rainfall may fall, beyond indicated here, outside of the 4 day window mentioned.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

#Hurricane #Melissa forecast to reach Category 5 intensity on Monday

If so, it would be the 3rd Cat 5 of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season (Erin & Humberto were the other 2)

Only 1 other Atlantic season on record has had >2 Cat. 5s: 2005 (Emily, Katrina, Rita, Wilma)
