The heat has been relentless and often unbearable throughout the Middle East. Temperatures are surpassed 120 degrees across the majority of Iraq with AccuWeather claiming that Baghdad has tied it’s all-time record of 124 degrees (51C) yesterday afternoon. However, there is worse down along the coast! Scalding hot, desert air combined with onshore winds blowing off the hottest body of water […]
Within the past 10 days, I posted an article on the gruelling heat wave torturing Iraq. As expected, yet another surge of extreme heat is bringing temperatures widely above 120F, forcing the government to issue it’s second ‘heat holiday’. These were the values reached during the last heat wave. This holiday, like the last is due to the combination […]

This has been a disappointing summer for many, particularly for western and northern parts of the British Isles and Ireland. However, from a meteorological standpoint, it’s been fascinating, quite extreme and probably has been one of the weirdest and most extreme that I can remember. We started with the UK’s hottest July reading of 36.7C […]

With a surge of monsoonal moisture streams northward into the Southwest from Mexico, the flash flood threat is ongoing. We saw some significant flooding due to thunderstorms yesterday with even the closure of I-15 linking LA with Vegas. Great shot of a strong thunderstorm towering above Twentynine Palms, CA yesterday afternoon. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Ongoing […]
Following record cold days and sustained below normal temperatures following the initial hot surge, July will wind up cooler-than-normal across at least 90% of the UK. The only place which may be average or slightly above in the SE corner of England. Just look at how cold the last 7 day mean has been. No surprise […]

An unusually potent summer low is making for a weather map more suited to fall in the Northern Rockies where heavy snow has been falling in the mountains, records winds have blew at lower elevations and temperatures are running 10-25 below normal. That same system is acting like a wheel, drawing arctic air south on […]
