It’s been outlined to you since Sunday but I have been keeping an eye on this potentially stormy late week scenario since last week. I held off a few days before releasing this as a forecast in case it was just a blip. Now it’s reality and it could very well be an interesting day of weather tomorrow. I was starting to […]
Since the weekend I’ve been keeping an eye on the model predictions for the Mediterranean basin into next week as the ECMWF continues to show intensifying pressure with thickness values soaring to well beyond 588dc across a broad area encompassing the central and eastern basin. With these values, this would support intense heat which the models have expanding north through Greece, the […]
Over the next 3-5 days we will continue to see a rather blocked, congested weather pattern over North America with a trough over the Northwest and a large trough which extends from the Great Lakes all the way down to the Carolinas. A high over Hudson Bay will keep the cool flow going with highs again […]
After a pleasant and warm feeling day with decent spells of sunshine, the rains are here in Central Scotland and across many areas thanks to the arrival of the next front. The next few days will see one large low, sprawlled out over the North Atlantic become elongated underneath a powerful Greenland high. The stretching out of this huge low […]
We’ve seen a predominantly POSITIVE NAO throughout the past winter with a significant late December/early January warm spell on both sides of the Atlantic correlated well with what likely was the strongest + phase of the NAO. We saw another strong positive episode in March which brought the off-the-scale heat wave to North America and record warmth over Scotland […]
The overall US pattern has a Great Basin ridge pumping 90s all the way to Montana this afternoon, a new trough and storm pushing into the Pacific Northwest will setup a severe weather risk area over the Northern Rockies. A trough will deepen over the Great Lakes and extend all the way down into the Tennessee Valley […]
Don’t see much change in the overall setup across Europe through at least the first 16 days of the month with a negative NAO. It looks to remain cool with frequent fronts sweeping through along with a constant northwest flow keeping Northwest Europe below normal. While we see a trough drapped over the west, this pumps an eastern ridge, […]
Good Afternoon! Hope your enjoying your long Jubilee weekend. While glancing at the models, we have little to shout about this next 10 days regarding warmth over Ireland, UK and NW Europe as a whole. It’s a different story in southern and eastern parts of the continent where temperatures are rising into the […]
While it’s been a grey, dissapointing later part of the Jubilee weekend for the majority of the United Kingdom with plenty of wet weather across the southern half, Monday looks to see clearance from this rain and a better day is in store. Highs will be supressed but slightly up from Sunday poor early June values of […]
