    A strong Jet helping to spin the deep LP or possible storm on Sun . Very low central pressure with steep gradients.

    I presume the names are still jointly put together by Met Éireann and the UK met office,hence the prevalence of Irish names

    Yup, that's it, ME and UKMO entered an agreement a few years ago to do this.

    'Storm Winifred' already sounds like a real beast. :rolleyes , but still no way as threatening sounding as 'Storm Rebecca'.

    will be home late Saturday night, 36C expected here near Malaga on Saturday, the cold and the wind is gonna cut me in two when I arrive home Saturday night, really dreading it.

    Arriving home to another roughly 48 weeks of low to mid teen temperatures is a very bitter pill to swallow, no heat, no proper winter either.

    You'll have the heating full on, fire roaring and a hot water bottle in the bed ;)

    Any chance of an "Indian summer" this September?
    We normally get a few hot days around now.

    An Indian Summer cannot take place in September.

    Would people stop being pedantic about the term Indian summer and take it for what most people take it as i.e. Summer weather in September or October

    I'm revising my thoughts on winter by the way,I'm thinking this hyper hurricane activity suggests conditions for cold maybe some severe cold in winter
    Just a hunch based on how busy the 2010 season was
    I could be wrong

    No, I will not use the terms incorrectly. I get frustrated with the wide misuse of heatwave all the time.

    How pedantic!
    There are more things in life to worry about trust me than that level of extreme pedanticism

    Indian Summer is a term in use for 100's of years to describe warmer than usual autumn weather
    It's 100's of years establishment as a term dwarfs into specs of dust more recent terms like 'selfie' or 'baltic' or many modern new terms
    But to each their own including if it's a very tiny own

    It's a term used to describe a period of unusually dry and warm weather in October and November, usually after the first frost.

    I don't worry about things like this, I have learnt the definitions as they are supposed to.

    So you're telling me that it don't matter about definitions? It's completely alright to misuse words or terms. Here this is not English class, I should not be talking about something as ridiculous as this. I've misused words or terms before - such as "intended" which I used as a synonym of expected but it isn't so I stopped doing so.

    Met Éireann have done this mistake themselves. Look at the September 1991 monthly weather bulletin by them - or the November 1991 monthly weather bulletin and go to where it has a summary on Autumn 1991 as a whole. They mention the very warm spell of early September 1991 being an Indian Summer which it was not. September 2016 had a similar period of weather but it was not an Indian Summer either.

    Of course it can. A few warm sunny days is all that's needed.

    I get the feeling this is gonna a very different Autumn to last year, much more cool and unsettled.

    Lets hope the Atlantic dies down for a few months around the middle of November to let the fun begin.
