I’m just outside of Boston right now and the forecast for tomorrow has windchill temps at something like 3F! I’m not acclimated to this.

How many of you have a headache over the past few days? Well you may be interested to know that it's down to record high atmospheric pressure in the UK right now. The UK record of 1053.6hpa set at Aberdeen in 1903 isn't going to be broken, but going over 1050 in the UK is very unusual. This sets off headaches, ears popping and TV reception being not very good.
The UK hasn't seen pressure over 1050 for over 50 years and London has experienced its highest air pressure for over 300 years. The jet stream is due to move back over the UK soon, so back to wet and windy weather. Hooray!

Storm Ciara is forecast to hit us Saturday into Sunday. At the moment the whole of the UK is down for a severe weather warning, but they usually only do this when they're unsure of the track of the storm. We'll know more by Friday.

Now things are beginning to look exciting. The wind speed for Sunday across most of the SE of England is forecast to be 50mph+ for a good ten hours or so from 8am. In addition, heavy rain will batter the area and the low has deepened slightly as it hangs over the west coast of the United States.

Yikes, look at the forecast for Cairngorm mountain on Sunday, not a day to be out on the hills, just the 105mph forecasted!
Cairngorm, Grampians, Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom Mountain weather forecast for 1234m. Detailed 6 day mountain weather forecast for climbers and mountaineers.

The rain just isn't stopping. We're into a second month with — maybe — two days without precipitation. Even by local standards it's extreme, people are pumping out basements and crawl spaces two blocks away. I've lived here a long time but this is longest stretch I can remember. On the plus side it might cut down the number of local forest fires come Spring.

Record trans-Atlantic flights times recorded:
Norwegian flight DY7014 from New York JFK to London Gatwick on Monday 15 January 2018 completed the full duration of the flight in 5 hours and 13 minutes – the fastest transatlantic flight recorded on a subsonic commercial aircraft. The previous record was 5 hours and 16 minutes.
The flight carrying 284 passengers departed New York at 11:44am and arrived at London at 9:57pm – 53 minutes early.
The day before the record-breaking flight, London Gatwick-based Captain Pascal Niewold recorded his fastest ever transatlantic flight of 5 hours and 20 minutes while flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner from New York to London on Sunday 14 January. The flight had a maximum tailwind of 195 knots (224mph) and reached a top speed of 779mph.
