OUTLOOK This first week of July will follow the all to familiar trend of unsettled although we may see some half decent warmth, especially in more northern areas of the British Isles thanks to warmer air flowing west off the continent. However all in all we will continue to see rain spread in from the […]
Over the next 72 hours we will see a series of pulses working across Ireland and the British Isles that will enhance the shower activity throughout while we see more organised rain spread into the southwest tonight and work north through Monday. Tuesday will see more areas of rain with showers elsewhere. As well as the rain, […]
Well we’ve just ended our first month of meteorological summer 2012 and boy has it not been a dissapointment to all you sun worshippers out there. I think we all could have done with a little more sun, warmer temps and less rain. I thought I would do a quick post this morning which takes […]
Today became Atlanta’s hottest day in recorded history as the high peaked at 106° . This surpassed the previous record of 105° set on July 17, 1980. Luckily for those out and about around the scorching city, the humidity was low (in the 50s) and so the 106° was bearable. The drier air is also allowing […]
Some initial thoughts before discussing the week ahead… Ok, I admit I too am getting a little fed up with this stubborn, boring, un-summer-like pattern. Basically since 2006 we have had poor summers, especially up here in Scotland. At least for you folks down in the South of England, you manage to live close enough to […]
A cluster of thunderstorms which started yesterday morning in Iowa just as the hot dome was beginning to heat the air to the south, started to push east bringing dramatic shelf clouds, driving rains, gusty winds and lightning through the Chicago metro. The storms intensified, stretching out as they cut through Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, […]
While yesterday’s blowtorch seemed and likely felt off the charts and for many it was, the crazy thing is, Saturday will be hotter and likely the peak of this heatwave. The 850 temps are warmer directly over the Southeast on Saturday and so such cities as Atlanta should surpass their current 105° all-time record with […]
We have seen an historic weather day across the Southeast up into the Mid-Atlantic region as a mighty 592dc high sits directly over the Tennessee Valley and breaks not only monthly all-time records but all-time records for any month. It is incredible to see 104-110° temperatures this afternoon from Arkansas to North Carolina and Virginia. Here […]
The temperature is sitting at 101° and may be on the way to 104° before the normal 5pm peak. Today marks the first 100s for the Peachtree City since the blistering August 2007 heatwave. Highs during that hot spell maxed out at 104°, just 1° shy of the all-time record. This time around they may push that […]
Well there’s no point in me telling you it’s darn HOT from the Plains to East Coast as you well know. Amazing at just how sweltering these readings are. This will be a heatwave remembered for a long time. It started last weekend when we saw Colorado tie the state all-time record high at 114°, […]
