Summer 2016
Endless summer continues east of the Rockies while pulses of colder, fall-like air brings more snow and a step ever closer to winter in the West. Meanwhile both Southwest and Northeast get help from the tropics with much needed rainfall. GFS indicates 1-2 FEET of snow for parts of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming over the […]
We have an omega blocking pattern developing this week. With low pressure over the Atlantic and south/southeast Europe and high pressure centred over Scandinavia extending SSW, the majority of the British Isles is largely cloud, wind and rain free. The exception being Scotland and Northern Ireland where we’re always closest to the Atlantic lows. The Atlantic jet is […]
Often at this time of year when summer draws to a close, we look thousands of miles out across the Pacific and when there’s typhoons roaming the western basin, US meteorologists pay attention. With the help of a due west track of once Super Typhoon Meranti, summer lives on across the Eastern US and this warm pattern […]
We’re only through the first half of September 2016 and the average temperature is already running a full 3C above normal, helped greatly by the incredible warmth in the East over the last week.

Chance arrives tomorrow. On the hottest day of the year back on Tuesday, Manchester was inundated by flood waters following torrential thunderstorms. Strong thunderstorms have and are breaking […]
September 2016 has hosted two separate record breakers. To start the month, Hurricane Hermine made landfall ending a record 11 year hurricane drought for Florida. Today saw the formation of Tropical Storm Julia, the first system in recorded history to be named while over Florida. This thing will bring a multiday heavy, flooding rain and […]
With twin lows near Iberia and Ireland and a powerful upper level ridge over Europe, a steamy SE air flow means we’re drawing unusually warm air unusually far north by mid-September straight from the tropics. Temperatures will reach exceptional September levels across France into the southern, eastern British Isles. Hot today over France, tomorrow it’s England’s turn where 32C is possible. The record […]
As stated in the past week, we remain in a low pressure dominated pattern but the prevailing track (SSW) and position (generally SW of UK) continues to promote unusually warm, humid continental air in over the UK. Fronts are still bringing wet, windy (even gale force) winds to the western side of the UK but sunshine and low to mid 20s but […]
