Two deep Atlantic lows will bring two bands of heavy rain accompanied by gale or severe gale-force winds to Northern and Western parts of Britain and across Ireland in quick sucession, tonight and tomorrow night with blustery showers following in between. Winds will widely top 50+ mph over Scotland, Northern England, Wales and right across […]
Scotland A brief break this afternoon from the strong wind and heavy showers from last night but tonight will see the arrival of the next Atlantic low, with pressure down into the 980s and it’s close approach to NW Scotland means gale-force winds tonight widely with severe gales to the NW. Those strong, potentially disruptive SW winds will […]
We remember well the wild storm of last week with major snows, blizzard conditions, severe weather, heat and a massive temperature contrast along with 50-60 degree 24-hour temperature drop through the Rockies and Plains. At one point, temperatures were some 40-50 below normal in the West while in the East, they were 30 above normal in places. Thankfully the weather has settled down this […]
Although this weekend is somewhat of a wash out for many across the UK, particularly in the west, I guess the milder flow extending all the way down towards the Azores is helping raise spirts as we try to get out of what is one of our coldest spring’s on record. For the Southeastern corner of […]
We had one heck of a wild week and incredibly, it most certainly appears that more of that comes back next week. Absolutely amazing for this late to see this amount of cold coming down out of Canada and with another strong Pacific system rolling through, you’ve got yet another major snow situation from the Colorado […]
Scotland It’s been a cold and damp Friday across much of Scotland although there have been breaks, particularly in the northeast but highs have been disappointing at 5-8C. Tonight will remain cloudy and damp across Central and Southern parts while clearer skies to the North will allow a colder and frosty night. Lows range between 2-4C where cloud […]
Parts of the West are recovering after experiencing some exceptional April cold and believe it or not, this is not done despite the warm up taking place now. I know it’s frustrating, I hear ya, but this is one of those years where old man winter just does not want to make way for summer. […]
For weeks now it’s been all about the strongly negative NAO/AO which has delivered our persistent cold but finally the ensembles are showing the opposite with a fairly sharp rise into positive territory and this will support the opposite teleconnection which has setup up beautifully of late between eastern North America and western Europe. In other words, instead […]
Scotland The pattern has finally switched around with our weather now coming in from a SW direction, rather than from the east and that means much cloudier skies along with rain and a freshening breeze. With the cold air mass still trying to hang on, it’s a cold rain with snow falling over the hills. Through […]
The warmup in the East was a reminder of what season we’re heading into but for some, it may have been a little warm, too fast as parts of the NYC Tri-State got up close to 90 while the DC-Baltimore area did reach 90 for the first time this year. Keep in mind that it […]
