The best way I think to describe our week ahead is, classic autumn! The Atlantic is dominant this week with a series of fronts sweeping through. However what’s interesting is the upper level trough dropping down with temperatures cooling considerably. In other words we have increasingly cold air dropping down while fronts bring bands of rain followed […]
The european model is showing a very different scenario from 24 hours ago for next Saturday with the above chart being last night’s run. The new run is below! It’s basically complete opposites but I always say, never trust an individual run but if you look at the overall pattern and indexes such as the NAO etc, you […]
Today saw the 3RD MAJOR, 115+ mph, landfalling Typhoon cross the southern Japanese island of Okinawa. Yes, with each time the eye crossing right over the island. Just two weeks ago, an even stronger system than Jelawat, came ashore, it’s name was Sanba, remember my post? Pretty incredible stuff. As Jelawat slammed ashore early this morning, the […]
Tonight’s run of the ECMWF now has next week’s very cold air pushing south of the US-Canada border and this could mean an early snowstorm as well as 15-30 below normal temperatures anywhere from Montana to the interior Northeast. While the arctic hound comes acalling next week down the spine of the continent, often during October cold blasts, a strong ridge […]
The arctic has seen the greatest loss of sea ice on record this summer, beating the previous record minimum set back in 2007. In stark contrast and despite all the hysteria about global warming, what you’ll perhaps struggle to see in the news is the fact that the Antarctic has seen a near record extent of sea ice. […]
I have stated multiple times already about the fact that the UK/Ireland autumn should be warmer/wetter than usual when all is said and done at the close of November but that does not mean we can’t see cold spells nor accompanied by snow. Like in 2009, I think we should see wet and stormy conditions with BACKSIDE cold coming down […]
Thought I would touch on a few points regarding the pattern into NEXT WEEK for both the United States and Canada. Noticed me talking about Typhoon Jelawat? Well this system is going to recurve but unfortunately it won’t miss land. The southern Japanese island of Okinawa looks to be yet again a target and powerful Typhoon […]
