UK: Last week began with a very deep area of low pressure just to the northwest of British Isles. This resulted in further spells of heavy rain and strong winds in places. Towards the end of the week,  another deep depression affected southern areas, whilst the north had their first real taste of winter. Many of the Munros* were covered with a blanket of snow by the weekend, which must have made the Scottish Ski centres very happy!

Falklands: With low pressure to the south and high pressure to the north, strong westerly winds prevailed for much of the time.  It was spring like on the 25^th, as the thermometer almost touched 17 Celsius.

Ascension: A mixture of sunny spells and a few drizzly showers.
