Dominates most of continent while major storm sets sights on Iberia.
For a solid week, I’ve been studying the models closely at what could be a rare, even historic late summer snowstorm for Iceland. The models had a low forming over the Davis Straits and swinging across Greenland, picking up bitterly cold air as it did, then deepened it on approach to Iceland late this week and weekend. That […]
Scotland It’s a damp, largely cloudy afternoon but skies should brighten through this evening as a NW wind picks up. Skies turn clear overnight and with that NW wind, it will feel considerably cooler than of late so you may want to have the jacket handy if heading out first thing Saturday. Lows 3-10C. Saturday […]
The latest run of the ECMWF has very little change with the Icelandic storm this weekend. Cold air, wind and snow all remain on the table. The one slight shift is minimum pressure which is up nearer 980mb over Iceland but this is a marginal difference. The 5,000ft temps remain at 0C or lower as the storm passes and northerly winds look just […]

Wild scenario next weekend with low deepening from 990+ to 976mb directly over the UK.
Scotland It’s been a fairly cloudy day across much of Scotland with the best of any bright or sunny spells largely confined to the East, damp and dreary the further west you go. Tonight will turn cloudy even in the East but it’s not particularly damp and indeed cool with lows holding up at between […]
It may be hot now over the heart of North America with 100s showing up over parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba this week and to a lesser extent next week but there are strong indications of a significant hemispheric pattern change coming up in the next few weeks. September is sure to start off warm […]
Not one but two lows of polar origin (formation between Greenland and Canada) will slam Iceland, likely presenting winter extremely early. Just last year on Sept 15th, a rare, even unprecedented snowstorm struck northern parts of the Nordic Isle, killing many sheep and cutting off my northern residents and visitors. Less than a year on […]
