With dominant high pressure continuing over the heart of Australia, so the chill continues also. Alice Springs in the red centre has witnessed their coldest spell of weather in 15 years but a low of -0.8C or lower on Monday morning would bag the coldest spell for the city in 35 years.

As of 2am today, Beijing time, as many as 10 people have died following the heaviest rains in the Chinese capital in 61 years.

Good evening, hope your enjoying your weekend so far. Certainly been nice to see dry weather across the UK along with sunnier skies and warmer air.

I alluded on my Facebook page yesterday morning about the potential for all-time records falling from North Kansas to North Dakota over the next 7 days with even a state record threatened.

I’m sure every one of us is ready for a taste of summer once again and yes, it’s coming though it’s duration will be brief in the North while from Sunday through next Wednesday, the Midlands down to Kent should enjoy mid to upper 20s for highs.

While temperatures peg back across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic following yet another 100-degree day from DC to New York yesterday, the core of the heat shifts back west and will punish the very heart of the drought region. From this afternoon through to early next week, expect highs well into the 100s with some, perhaps many from […]
For over a week now, the UK has had the return of the Azores High in it’s sights and yes, it’s coming for real this weekend, finally! Showers, while heavy and fairly widespread over England and Wales tonight and during Friday, should ease with much more sunshine and with a southwest flow, temperatures should rise everywhere Saturday. Sunday […]
