You can also see that rain bearing front casting a shadow over the North Sea

As the storm thread is locked I'll post the Airmass image round the time the STING JET struck Malin Head causing the Hurricane force winds.
This image was taken at 6am so a little after when the sting jet struck and shows the dry descending stratospheric air (Brown colour) push the very strong upper winds down to the surface over Donegal at the same time we see the hook.

Ireland from the International Space Station

John mac

Flying at an altitude of about 240 miles over the eastern North Atlantic, the Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station photographed this nighttime scene.
This view looks northeastward. Center point coordinates are 46.8 degrees north latitude and 14.3 degrees west longitude. The night lights of the cities of Ireland, in the foreground, and the United Kingdom, in the back and to the right, are contrasted by the bright sunrise in the background.
The greens and purples of the Aurora Borealis are seen along the rest of the horizon.

This image was taken on March 28, 2012.

a bit of background for the photo.

Welcome back !

Ireland from space at 1pm today. This NASA/MODIS image clearly shows the north south divide involving the cloud cover pushing up from the south and the clearer weather to the north. That’s the easy part to explain. The letter ‘A’ perfectly carved out of the clouds to the west of Lough Neagh is much more difficult to explain!

This video has some nice footage of the globe from on board shuttles and the ISS. Put it on fullscreen 1080HD, put on headphones, turn the music up and relax for 20 minutes. Great music from Nick Bardoni/Steve Warr.

Some nice skies here at the moment with vivid clear skies to the north, Cirrostratus overhead that is thickening to Altostratus to my south. Classic sequence of an approaching warm front.

Nice example of the effects of the jetstream in motion

Spells of sunshine pushing further east across Ireland as the rain clears. This image shows clearing skies in the west as seen by NASA from space at 1PM. The right image shows the wall of cloud pushing east, as seen from my place at the same time.
