In the video below, I take a look at the remaining days of June and ALL of July via the ECMWF model and it’s interpretation of the upcoming pattern. At this time, the model shows a lack of any real warmth or settled weather for the UK and Ireland. It suggests a continuation of the fast west […]
Yesterday saw one of the greatest displays of wild weather the UK in our lifetime. What created this violent and spectacular weather display could be seen days ago. When both Cork and Belfast was under water the night before, this was the sure sign of what was to come over the mainland the next day. I […]
It has been a dramatic past 24 hours of weather over Ireland and the British Isles with the most spectacular arguably in the last 6 hours over the Midlands as severe thunderstorms (pretty rare for the UK) produced large hail, torrential downpours, damaging wind gusts and constant thunder and lightning. There have been unconfirmed reports of one […]
[warning] THE FLOODING SEEN IN BELFAST TONIGHT IS A SURE SIGN OF WHAT’S TO COME FOR MANY ACROSS THE UK DURING FRIDAY, FLASH FLOODING IS OF REAL CONCERN IN AREAS! [/warning] I have been concerned for days now about the potentially explosive weather we may face during Wednesday or Thursday of this week as low pressure and heat/humidity collide. Tonight […]
While looking at the ECMWF run for tonight, the heat wave with 95+F temps from Denver to DC looks to last through Monday of next week with little breakdown in the powerful upper ridge which covers all but the West Coast. The Mid-Atlantic and southern Northeast will return to the heat following a few cool […]
The intensity of the upper ridge over the Rockies and Plains in the last 4 or 5 days has been mighty impressive. The ECMWF had this heat wave on the table since the start of last week and by looking at this model day after day, I knew we could see some impressive numbers and […]
[error] A BAND OF RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS IRELAND TONIGHT, WESTERN AND CENTRAL UK DURING FRIDAY LIKELY BECOMING THUNDERY. EMBEDDED T-STORMS WILL DROP HIGH RAIN TOTALS IN SHORT PERIODS OF TIME CAUSING FLOODING! [/error] We continue to see an increase in warmth and humidity ahead of a front working across Ireland and into the western UK tonight through tomorrow! Over the […]
Following a significant ‘jump’ across firelines and breaks, the Waldo Canyon wildfire exploded yesterday as extreme heat and a huge tinderbox harnessed the perfect conditions for this inferno to spead fast rapidly, catching all off guard. While heat and dry weather supports the perfect conditions, it was powerful 65 mph winds which helped drive this fire […]
The ridge over the Plains states is incredible as today would mark a 4th consecutive day above 100 in Denver following a tie of the all-time record of 105 yesterday. Today could level that again and I guess there is a small chance we could even see a new all-time high for the Mile High […]
Today has been one long day with a rise of 1.45am. Once home from my daily 300 mile drive I had a brief time to start my TS Debby write-up before meeting with my web designer. I spent from 3 till 7pm this evening talking with him about various aspects of the site and […]
