Heat wave conditions are currently baking Alaska and the upper level ridge responsible continues to strengthen, meaning the past weekend’s record, even new all-time monthly records could be beaten today. Yesterday saw the temperature soar to 91 degrees at Talkeetna which is a tie for the hottest reading ever recorded here, McGrath reached 90 while Fairbanks soared to 88, 2 shy of the […]

The video is fairly lengthy but there’s a lot to look at..
Scotland This week is looking rather different compared to last week with much more settled, drier weather with more sunshine and warmer temperatures. Through this evening it’s quiet pretty much everywhere with temperatures staying mild, only dropping to around 12 or 13C in towns and cities, a touch cooler in rural areas. Patchy mist and fog is likely in some sheltered areas. Tomorrow, like today […]
It’s all thanks to a large upper low diving south into Iberia which will be responsible for bringing the first hot surge into the Northern European Coastal Plain or Lowlands. However, the combination of hot, very humid air and a warm front associated with the southward departing low will create a highly unstable atmosphere and likely to spark powerful thunderstorms […]
It’s long been known than an increase in high latitude volcanic activity has been linked to an increase in winter blocking and colder winters in the mid-latitude world. We saw an increase in volcanic activity prior to the bitter cold winter of 2009-10 which shivered much of the Northern world including the United States and Great Britain. We are currently and have for […]
The week ahead looks rather different to this past week with a lot of heat spreading north into Europe from Africa. While it looks highly likely we’ll see the first 37C (100F) readings over parts of France and Germany, there’s a lot of uncertainty over exactly how far west that Saharan heat will spread due to the position and […]

That means the core of the heat gets shifted east over the Plains through next week. While there’s wet and windy weather set to push into the Pacific Northwest, a […]
