It’s getting near! Over the past few months I have spent many hours in thought, research and writing to present you my ideas and more importantly, an explaination as to where I am getting my ideas from. This will be my 3rd annual winter forecast and by a long shot, it will be my most in-depth. My […]
Well for those of you dying for some early season cold, I’m affraid your very unlikely to see it through the remainder of this month. This does coincide with my autumn ideas. Remember to keep in mind that given it’s a weak El Nino year.. In order for us to have a cold winter, we […]
There is a lot of uncertainty over mid next week but what does look certain is that we’re set for some rather stormy weather with widespread gales and for some, severe gales with damage possible. This ties in with my autumn ideas. Remember I stated the real possibility of seeing 2-3 significant storms before the cold […]
We all know how wet it’s been throughout the UK in past few days. It was of course all thanks to a slow moving frontal system associated with a low which crossed the country. Once the low reached the east coast, it more or less stalled and so too did the front, nudging further and […]
The storm system which has been discussed for days, finally made an impact yesterday bringing a wild day across California and the Desert Southwest with heavy rain as well as gusty winds, hail and even waterspouts. As much as 1-2 inches of rain fell across Las Vegas as well as many areas across the Desert Southwest and these rain produced flooding. […]
Through tomorrow we shall see a weakened version of the same front which brought the heavy rains yesterday and today head back south with the low.

There is real concern for widespread flooding due to the persistency of these rains, especially across Grampian throughout tonight. A decent 1-2 inches has already […]
With the pattern changing across North America with storms now pushing onto the West Coast and gone is the blocking high, we have a perfect setup coming up over the next couple of days for a severe weather outbreak. Friday starts things off out over Texas and Oklahoma where a dry line will slide east […]
The slow moving frontal boundary responsible for all of today and tonight’s rain across the UK will eventually reach the east coast by morning as the low pressure centre pushes out over the North Sea and then stalls and meanders around for a further 72+ hours. That is a problem! The position of the low […]
Shutterstock General Synopsis The general synoptic chart consists of a low pressure system moving slowly northeast across the UK over the next 24 to 36 hours and deepening from 1000mb to nearer 994 mb by Friday morning. An active frontal boundary producing the rains will be slow moving, presenting a flood risk for mainy but […]
