For those in search of seeing some wild weather from Hurricane Kirk here across the British Isles and Ireland next week, well you’ll be sorely dissapointed I’m afraid as models continue to show this feature disappear off the map by day 5 as it’s absorbed within the Azores high. Saturday-Sunday pose opposites from north to […]
Earlier today, people in the Philippines ran to higher ground as a major undersea earthquake measuring 7.6 magnitude struck, causing strong shaking which lasted a long time according to one person.

Certainly looking 4-5 days out it could appear as though Kirk could take a run at the UK by riding over top of […]
While Isaac relentlessly pounds the Gulf Coast and is now ever so slowly creeping north, spreading vast amounts of rain with it up across Louisiana and Mississippi, the heat is on across the Northern Plains where temperatures are climbing into the mid-100s across the Dakotas this afternoon. A strong upper high is supporting these warm numbers but with […]
Unfortunately I have nothing particularly positive to say about our forthcoming 5-7 day period as we are firmly in the firing line of a strong and zonal jet stream which will continue to throw low pressure our way for the forseeable future.
