This April will be one many of us remember for a very long time, especially those living in the Northern Plains where spring has yet to arrive, although it will over the next 24 hours! This April has set astonishing all-time records for snowiest month in cities well familiar with snow, Duluth and Rapid City with over […]
Temperatures climbed to 23°C (73°F) in London today, making for the UK’s warmest day of the year so far. As you well know, colder air is coming down and will wipe out this pleasant precusor of things to come by as early as tonight. The frontal boundary which seperated two very different air masses began to dive south […]
Scotland After a rather wet start across the southern half of the country, this afternoon has seen some decent sunshine albeit a little cool in the breeze but out of that breeze and you can feel the warmth off the sun. Through tonight any showers die away and remain confined to the NW and clear skies for most […]
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any colder and more outrageous this April, we’ll it did over the central Plains yesterday as parts of Kansas didn’t even manage to reach freezing, that’s a solid 40° below normal and for April 23rd, that to me is comparable to the ‘off the scale’ records being set for heat last […]
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts because we’re about to return to a March-like chill as we head towards the weekend. The NAO has now ‘peaked’ and is now heading back towards a negative signal, promising a chilly first half to May for the UK, Ireland and western Europe while ridging will bring a nice warm-up over […]
Scotland After a wet and breezy night and start to your Tuesday, conditions have improved considerably through this afternoon with decent spells of sunshine to be enjoyed by most. Through tonight and while we see a fairly clear and calm night from the Central Lowlands northwards, it turns into another wet night across the South thanks […]
The continuation of cold records being set is quite amazing and when you see lows down to single digits in South Dakota (8° at Huron, latest single digit reading on record!), 12° in Rapid City on April 23, it’s amazing so late in the season. Lows dove back into the 20s all the way into the […]
Scotland A frontal boundary currently splits the UK in two with Scotland on the much cooler and unsettled north side. A stiff westerly wind has been blowing frequent showers across the country through today and by tonight, a more organised area of rain will sweep in from the west bringing a spell of rather wet weather tonight. Winds […]
It’s been an incredibly cold and snowy spring across the Rockies, Central and Northern Plains and we’ve seen yet another major snow dump upwards of 18 inches on the Black Hills of South Dakota Sunday into Monday while earlier today, the Braves vs Rockies game was cancelled in Denver due to snow. More cold comes down […]
The temperature climb has begun as highs reach 16C or 60F today over Northeast Scotland while it hit 17C at Murlough, Northern Ireland thanks to strong, downsloping winds. While it stays fairly unsettled across Northern Ireland and much of Scotland over the next few days, Central and Southern England, Wales and Ireland are set to warm further in coming days. Stronger heights and some sunshine […]
