Scotland The unsettled theme continues into tonight with today’s band spreading north of the Central Lowlands up into Aberdeenshire, however further pulses of rain will work into the South, pushing north during the overnight. Lows tonight range from 5C where skies are clearest for longest, 7 or 8C for most. Friday is looking somewhat drier to […]
For the best part of a week now, I’ve been monitoring an unseasonably deep trough in which the models have been hinting at which will dive into the Eastern half of the US early next week. That trough which could deliver frost all the way to the Tennessee and Georgia mountains with all-time May record lows challenged throughout the spine […]
Scotland What a difference a day makes. Following yesterday’s glorious summer sunshine and temperatures to go with it, today has been very different with rain spreading northwards through the day. Winds too have been picking up from a southerly direction. The best of today’s sunshine has been confined to the North where highs here have been the […]
Over the next couple of days we’re going to see the Southern California system which brought record rains to such areas as Long Beach push into the Rockies and enhance the shower and thunderstorm activity there while on the backside, a ridge is set to build the heat back into the LA Basin northwards as well as out […]
A vigorous upper low will be centred near Donegal Thursday and with a surface low potentially eyeing 980mb, winds are expected to be unusually strong across a broad area of Ireland and the UK with Ireland, Wales and much of England of particular concern. We could see widespread gales with coastal and high-elevated gusts of 60-70 mph with […]
Scotland Today marked the warmest of the year so far across Scotland with highs of 18 to 22C but change is on the way through the next 12-18 hours. Low pressure will spread wind and rain across southern and central Scotland tomorrow with a fresh to strong SE wind. As for tonight, it’s a fine, dry and quiet night with […]
As expected, the cold front is hanging back but while wind and rain spreads north through Ireland and Wales tonight, the sun will be out across much of Scotland and England tomorrow. The southerly flow and sunshine along with warmer 5,000ft temps should promote surface readings of 20-21C in Glasgow, 22-23C in Manchester and possibly 24-25C from York […]
Scotland Following a dreary, damp first half to Monday in the west with brighter skies further east, it turns clear and settled through tonight across much of Scotland. Despite the clear skies, temperatures won’t drop much below 4-5C, nearer 7 or 8C in towns and cities thanks to a warmer air mass coming up from the […]
The deep low which brought all-time record May snowfall from Wisconsin to Arkansas and record cold all the way to Houston is now a ‘cut off’ upper low and presenting the Southeast with flooding rains. Eventually this thing will clear out but another system is now driving into California and has cut the heat and should bring appreciable showers and thunderstorms […]
Thought I would take a closer look at the timing of the cold front on this Sunday morning with a look at the latest run of the GFS. What’s interesting to me is the fact that it would appear EASTERN Ireland and the Repubic as well as central and eastern Scotland should enjoy more warmth and sunshine even on Tuesday and not […]
