June, like February, March, April and May has been dominated by wild swings in temperature. One of the key contributors of Europe’s extreme pattern and flips has been down to a record long-lasting negative North Atlantic Oscillation. The -NAO has aided a continuous amplified/blocked pattern. These blocked setups allow extreme heat north and extreme cool […]
May will be remembered for it’s flooding rainfall and severe weather. Temperature extremes of widespread cold from Southwest to Great Lakes and all-time record May heat in the Southeast was also noteworthy. One cannot help but think a cooler, wetter summer is on the horizon for a large swathe of the US thanks to the […]
Despite a warmer middle part of May (especially for Scotland and Scandinavia), the month is winding up below normal throughout central and west-central Europe. Like in April, warmth has been the rule over Russia. A dry first half to the month has given way to a wetter 2nd half and a downright soggy finish for […]
Welcome to my 9th annual US summer forecast. As always, when compiling this forecast for the upcoming June-August period there are multiple factors which have been taken into consideration which could influence the summer pattern. These include global and regional sea surface temperature anomalies, El Nino, MJO and rainfall distribution over the last 6 months. […]
