The Russian capital of Moscow has now been locked in a classic winter deep freeze for 9 days now with the temperature not getting above 16F (-9C) since December 14th or 9F (-13C) since the 15th. Each night since the 16th has fallen below 0F (-18C) and this morning marked the coldest so far with a low near […]
It seems the ground has been saturated across much of Britain since April. I believe the trigger for this wild turn from drought to flood was the transition from a back to back La Nina to El Nino. A possible contributor to the ‘excessive’ rainfall this year may be the cold PDO vs unusually warm AMO, the same warm AMO which produced a record arctic […]
My dear American subscriber, while you may have been mild so far this month, you have a heck of a 3-week period of winter coming up which should wipe out those warm memories and fears of a winter 2011-12 repeat. There is the perfect setup both over the continent and globally which supports an impressive cold period from now through at […]
If I had much in the way of hair, I would be pulling it out right now as I glance at some of these models. While the NAO is seen to go positive again, the GFS and even the ECMWF has a much milder look than what I would like for the UK and a large part of Europe […]
We’ve just saw many Midwest cities break their snow drought following the recent first Big Winter Storm. Many Midwest cities saw anywhere from an inch to 20″ of snow. The focus now shifts to a system that is set to barrel into the Pacific Northwest this weekend into early next week and then drop into the Southern Plains around […]
The new run of the ECMWF has come out and I really wanted to wait till this came out before posting on next week. Firstly, it’s worth pointing out that while an Iberian high tries to pump warmth into the UK this weekend and likely will produce 14, maybe 15C by Sunday along with heavy, flooding rains, models […]
Scotland While one system clears away, another quickly follows and just in time for the weekend. A fairly dry first half of the night but beyond midnight and into early Saturday, the next batch of very wet and windy weather advances north into Dumfries and Galloway. This organised and large area of heavy rain will envelop all parts by […]
In recent days, we have started to see more and more reports come out of Asia about how cold it has been. I have tried to show you what’s been going on there so you grasp what is going on globally and not just locally. The core of cold has been centred over the heart […]
Just want to show you quickly how over the next 16 days the warmth will get erased right across the Lower 48. The blizzard which has all but shut down parts of the Midwest is the first in a series of storms from now through early January that will lay down that carpet of white. […]
While we know the weekend will be rather wet and windy, many of you are wondering what next week may have in store. If I am being honest, next week is giving me a headache, there is so much on the table with very mild air and super cold air running close to each other […]
