September so far has been downright cold over the interior East from lower Mississippi Valley up through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys and Appalachians while warm on the central Plains and especially central Rockies. However, as your reading this, it’s the complete opposite with a cold even snowy Western trough and warm Eastern ridge. This […]
As expected, meteorological autumn opened right where summer ended with a September featuring very changeable and frequently cool conditions thanks to firm Atlantic influence. September temperature anomaly so far. August was below normal. Why the cool, damp disappointing summer? Low over high aligned west-east shows a firmly Atlantic pattern. While the westerlies where the main […]
We’re fast approaching the end of meteorological summer 2017 and below are some of the key talking points which will be remembered. Certainly to the east of the Rockies, heat wasn’t a big story but more rain and through the second half of summer, the cool, especially for the central US. Like last year, the […]

In many respects the 90-day June-August period has been dictated by unusually low pressure west of Ireland by a dominant low over the NE Atlantic and high over Italy and Balkans keeping it […]

There’s no question, July is turning out different to what I had thought with a cooler than normal Scotland and downright colder than normal Scandinavia with core of cold into west-central Russia. I’m not surprised about the warm Southern UK extending into France as this was expected but I thought the warmth would have stretched into Scotland. The reason […]
