Building UK Ridge Drives Turkey To 35C But One Of The Colder Ends To April Coming?

You know that what happens within one area of our atmosphere, there’s often a ripple effect downstream. As high pressure continues to build in over the UK, so southwest winds have picked up ahead of an Alpine low and that means a surge of summer into Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania into Ukraine.

As the high continues to build in over the UK, the system currently over the Alps progresses east, weakening the SE ridge and therefore the heat gets slashed by mid week as a trough drives significantly cooler air in.

Then down comes the next shot of arctic air into the UK, Low Countries, France this weekend, this will drive significant late season chill including snow while the ridge and summer warmth resurges over southeast Europe. Looks like the chill holds firm through next week.
