It’s clear to see from this latest sat image that Ernesto is becoming better organised. She’s now showing signs of stronger, wrap-around convection over the centre with overall shape much more concentric. During Friday, the rapid 20-25 mph forward speed was creating shear and made this system look less organised with a lot of it’s convection off to the east but […]
The past few days has seen some decent spells of sun with scattered, hit or miss showers. When the sun has been shinning it’s felt pretty warm and overall, the past couple of days haven’t been bad at all. Unfortunately that looks to change to a certain degree this weekend though I am optimistic we can still […]
Following the coldest July average minimum temperature in 30 years for Australia as a whole, the month of August has continued the cold trend thanks to the persistent high keeping skies clear at night which allows daytime warmth to quickly escape back to space at night. The cold in recent nights has advanced further north […]
It seems the cold has been never ending with clear skies, light wind and harsh frosts becoming the rule rather than exception this year across Australia following back to back cool, wet summers. While days are chilly but not outragous, it’s the nights which have grabbed headlines as a large chunk of interior and eastern Australia has suffered frosty, bitter […]
Well we now have Tropical Storm Ernesto on the playing field. It is nothing overly significant right now and there are a lot of Q’s as to how sustainable the environment in it’s path actually is. The general thinking right now is that this system will slowly intensify and with most models pointing this in […]
Today was a much improved day up here across Scotland as compared to yesterday as the front pushed through. The beautiful low spinning to the west of Ireland has been deepening over the past 36 hours as all the energy flowing in aboard an unseasonably strong summer jet slams up against the big high over […]
It’s early days yet and with not the most perfect environment for any real intensification ramp up, it could be a slow process but newly formed tropical depression 5 is born! Within the next few days, TD 5 should be a storm and looks to impact the Lesser Antilles by Friday, quite likely as a […]
The warm, juicy atmosphere over the Northeast combined with a frontal boundary has allowed strong thunderstorm to blowup and cross the Greater New York City area. During the early afternoon today, heavy storms dropped a rapid 2 inch plus rain which caused significant flooding over Queens and other parts of Long Island. There are also […]
With a large low with deep central pressure spinning away off Ireland, rains will continue feeing in tonight. Thankfully we will see widespread improvment tomorrow with a more sunshine and shower regime kicking in and this looks likely to become the theme over the next 5-7 days at least. While eastern Europe remains dominated by high pressure and hot, mostly […]
