Heavy snow blankets Moscow, Russia while unseasonable warmth spreads across UK
The ridge of high pressure pumping northwards from the Azores up into the UK and Ireland is not only bringing unseasonably mild weather throughout western Europe but it’s also deepening the trough to the east across Germany, Poland into Russia and this trough also opens the door to cold air surging southwards. The strong cold front which dove south through Russia, Ukraine into the Black Sea and Turkey produced Moscow’s first significant snowstorm.
The temperature spread has become large across the continent over recent days thanks to this recent buckling of the jet. While folks here across the UK and Ireland enjoy 11 to 14C highs, from Poland eastwards, highs are remaining below freezing with a wind making it feel a lot colder.
While it’s warm in the west, cold in the east, a significant storm system is bringing very wet, windy conditions across the central Med Sea and this is impacting Italy and Greece eastwards into Turkey. This system has embedded thunderstorms firing along that bounadry between mild air flowing up from Africa, the warmth off the Med below and the cold piling south. These factors coming together creates the perfect recipe for a significant system.
