A high-pressure system is currently reshaping the UK’s weather, resulting in extended dry spells and potential ‘anticyclonic gloom.’ While this weather pattern typically leads to warm, sunny days, it can also trap moisture, leading to persistent low clouds, mist, and fog. The air quality declines as pollutants accumulate, especially in urban areas. Interestingly, Eastern Scotland has been an exception, experiencing intermittent sunshine, with Leuchars enjoying a full day of sun on November 3rd amid widespread cloud cover elsewhere.
