Tonight is by far the coldest night of the season both here at my house where the temperature is now down to -6C while it’s a biting -10.2C up at Loch Glascarnoch in the North Highlands. The front which pushed through, heading south last night ushered in colder air with lower thickness values and with the combination […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland Scotland faces quite the next 24 hours packed with plenty of winter weather. Through tonight, clear skies, light winds, snowcover and very cold air aloft, will drive surface temperatures below -10C for the first time this season over the Highlands and even in rural parts of the Central Lowlands, temperatures locally may hit -7 or -8C. Expect […]
Check this out at 240 hrs off the ECMWF Deterministic. The control run is much more favourable for sustained blocking north and west of the UK which would allow the cold off Europe to push west and cover the UK and Ireland and then trap it there. The ECMWF Deterministic shows a push of mild off the […]
There is no disputing the amount of warmth there is throughout the Lower 48. It has been just incredible how warm those readings have been with 70s in Chicago, DC while 60s have flooded the map. Despite all this warmth, there is plenty of cold air north of the border and boy, is it not […]
We continue to sit beneath an atmospheric battleground between Atlantic and arctic/continental air and for now, the Atlantic is winning but for how long? For the past week to 10 days I have made mention about the fact that snowcover will become extensive across Europe by the end of this week. This is important if the UK is […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland After a day of snow showers across the Highlands and Grampian, rain showers across the South and a cold but largely bright day in the Central Belt, tonight will see a weak frontal boundary push south bringing snow showers to eastern areas and behind it will be a reinforcing shot of colder […]
This afternoon’s blowtorch has many from the Plains to Mid-Atlantic scratching their heads as exceptionally warm temperatures rocketing to mid-September levels and 20-30°F above normal for Dec 3. Today’s astonishing all-time record warmth is a byproduct of the weeklong wild pattern which has hammered California and the West. As much as 23.4 inches of rain feel at Brandy Creek, […]
As forecasted, the snow arrived last night whittening many parts of Scotland and Northern England and although it’s been melting through today, a cold night tonight will help freeze the remaining snow on the ground and thus, slow warming through tomorrow will result in a slower melting process, so this snow should linger through this week. It will help keep nights […]
The models are turning increasingly colder with each run for the next 2 weeks across Europe and this week ahead looks tough for travellers across the continent as heavy snow will cause widespread disruption. The building cold will plunge millions into the deep freeze by week two and while cold this week, next week will be colder and […]
Not only has the cold been rapidly intensifying over the Northern Hemisphere’s key source region ‘Siberia’, it has been significantly expanding right across Northern Asia and now extending into Europe too. A similar rapid expanse of snow cover has been observed across Canada and Alaska with readings currently down to at least 51 below zero F in the Yukon. The […]
