Europe Latest

Tonight to be chilliest night with widespread UK frost, freeze ending cool spell, typical of October, milder but unsettled weather returns tomorrow and looks set last into Nov

My low of 30 degrees F (-0.9C) this morning marks first below freezing reading since May, produced frost and some light icing on birdbath!

After a chilly few days throughout the UK with cold winds, hill snow and temperatures below normal, the chilly trough and weak Arctic air, made worse but the exceptionally mild start to October is set to move out as fast as it arrived. Tomorrow will see a return to Atlantic driven mild, unsettled weather with a growing SW wind carrying rain west to east and removing the colder air.

Looking ahead, the Atlantic storm train looks set to intensify, turning more zonal (keeping warmth to the south, cold to the north and thus bringing frequent Atlantic depressions directly across the UK west to east. This setup brings with it strong pushes of mild, moisture rich air on board a strong Atlantic jet stream, little cold air is to be had in such a pattern. The hemispheric pattern flips to a more oceanic dominated pattern for both North America & Europe to end October as the NAO, AO returns to a positive phase and the cold air retreats back north to charge up for the winter ahead.
