The Eurasia snow cover is rather bleak this year. Barely any snow for Eurasia as of Oct 13 but North America's making up for that with most in at least 14 years! pic.twitter.com/1sXAqXFgWI — MarkVoganWeather.com (@MarkVogan) October 18, 2018 This year is the polar opposite of 2016.

With the development of Vicente and Willa, the eastern Pacific hurricane season of 2018 has entered the record books as busiest ever following a very busy season last year. Like we’ve seen all too often this year, newly formed Willa has rapidly intensified off Mexico, gaining 60 mph and gaining ‘major’ status within 24 hours. […]
Firstly, here’s two interesting article titles produced by the same journalist 8 months apart! After ‘years’ of poor rainy seasons and worsening drought, 2017 has started like a dream for California, if not a little too much too quick. While low elevations over parts of Northern/Central California has seen up to a foot of rain, […]
A good start to the rainy season in November-December gave way to a disappointing heart of the rainy season in January-February with drier and warmer than normal conditions. However, the latest series of March storms to slam California has meant San Francisco’s rainy season has went from below to above normal and snowfall in the Sierra is above normal unlike the previous 4 […]

It would appear drought stricken California and the West is reaping the benefits but as per usual in classic powerful El Nino’s, rains and storms come in hard. This is the 5 freeway in north LA this morning. Visible satellite shows […]
The cold and snow of this past weekend across Highland Scotland is history mid and particularly late this week as a surge of exceptionally warm air lifts north via a series of NNE moving occluded fronts. As well as bringing further spells of heavy rain and abundant cloud, these waves of downright warm December air may threaten December records dating back many decades. […]
US: ‘Strong El Nino Pattern’ Very Evident Into December But More Northern Blocking January/February?
Now and on into next week, the strongly +AO/NAO will continue to drive a powerful and very zonal upper flow pattern around the mid-latitudes with an El Nino enhanced, hose-like southern branch that’s essentially pumping tropical energy northward into the middle latitudes. This means a continued active but largely mild pattern across North America. The GFS […]
