Chris Beal has been keeping us updated through the past week on the extreme cold experienced over Greenland. Early to mid last week, an unusually cold surface high sat over the remote central Greenland research outpost of Summit Camp. As a result of the clear cold, largely windless atmosphere above the vast icecap which makes up most of […]
The current flood situation across Texas is not too dissimilar to what we saw in the Carolinas just 2 weeks ago. A separate system, this time pushing eastwards from the Four Corners, slows and draws on rich Gulf moisture which dumps 10+ inches of rain causing flash flooding. Then the beast that was Hurricane Patricia slams west coast Mexico and as the structural […]
Well it’s beginning to look like a Scandinavian block will try to rule November across Europe keeping things drier and warmer across the North while cooler and wetter from Russia through the Balkans and down across the Med to Iberia. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Snow forecasts through next 10 days. ECM GFS Snow cover is naturally expanding […]
The first of many noticeable cold fronts is currently pushing SE over the UK leading to a noteworthy dip in temperature. This active frontal boundary brought a fair amount of wind and rain overnight, fuelled by a decent air mass contrast. Ahead of it, mild, Mediterranean source air, behind it was ocean-modified Greenland air. Nothing unusual for the time […]
Hurricane Patricia has went from Category 1, 85 mph system to Category 5, 200 mph tempest within a mere 30 hours! It threatens Mexico central Pacific coast with catastrophic destruction tonight! Here’s some imagery and analysis. Eye of Patricia is within 50 miles of the coast. Patricia exploded over unusually warm, El Nino induced […]
Because of the wild variation and swings month-by-month across the Lower 48, November has been a tough call as to what we can expect. While the heart of summer was cool and wet for a large swathe of the country, both spring and fall has seen wild swings with a hot West, cool East then […]
We have a much more active westerly air flow now influencing NW Europe but the worst of the weather through the next week or so appears to hold over far western areas which includes Ireland and west or southwest parts of the British Isles, largely down to the fact that we’ve a strong high pressure system […]

Up until the 20th of the month, October has been dry across the UK and Ireland with many places receiving barely 20% of normal rainfall. As for temperatures, well after a warm start, the average is now back below normal thanks to a persistent northerly high pulling air in from Russia. Change has indeed arrived with a more typical, […]
We have a highly volatile situation unfolding over the Southern Plains through the next 5 days as an upper low swings out of the Southwest into Texas. As it moves out over the plains, it shall plug very moisture rich air from the Gulf. The connection between the two systems will present a potential major flash flood problem with a […]
