As expected, as we progress through the afternoon hours, temperatures continue rising as the hot air continues to build in across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic from the Midwest. With dew points into the low 70s for many, real feel temps are at or above 100°, especially over the Mid-Atlantic where there are heat indexes of 115° in parts […]
Hope you enjoyed that tame glimpse of summer yesterday and today. We’re now seeing the rains spread into Devon, Cornwall and South Wales as well as of course, Ireland, setting the scene for yet more unsettled weather for Britain. The leading edge of the next Atlantic storm is now pushing in and will spread a […]
Following highs only in the 70s yesterday, today is going to be a shock to the system throughout the Northeast as temperatures soar well into the 90s.

While 109 degrees was hot in McCook, Neb yesterday, Death Valley, CA topped out at 121 degrees making this both the hottest high of the season for the site as well as for the nation.

Guchol, once a 150-mph super typhoon, made landfall today on the Kii Peninsula south of Osaka as a 65 mph tropical storm. Though significantly weakened due to cooler waters, dry air and increased wind shear, Guchol still packed quite a punch delivering strong, gusty winds throughout Japan.

While looking at both the GFS surface and ECMWF upper charts this evening I see no hint of change over the next 10 days. While I felt a glimmer of optimism yesterday with the model transfering the heat from Ukraine to Spain and even the signs of a trough dipping into the east, there isn’t any northward expanding ridge I was […]
You could be forgiven for thinking it is almost summer-like again across the UK as we shrugged off those heavy morning showers which caused nasty surface spray and flooding which made way for a very pleasant June day. Once those showers cleared into eastern Scotland, skies turned sunny and it has remained that way for the majority. […]
From California to Maine, the heat is on.. If you think it’s hot today across the Midwest and Ohio Valley think again, the ridge will not only intensify with it will pump those 100s sizzingly western high plains this afternoon on eastwards during Tuesday with highs likely to approach 100 in Chicago thanks to a jet blowing […]
Following a wet day across many parts of the Ireland, NI with some thunderstorms popping up, these rains spread across the Channel and into western Scotland tonight but this weather eases and weakens through tomorrow morning allowing for another decent and mostly dry day with only an odd shower here and there. Much of the UK looks fine, […]

This area of disturbed weather has lingered and grown in coverage over recent days and it’s stuff like this with a large envelop of energy which must be watched when you see pressures fall and you have a favourable […]
