For many across the Northern UK overnight probably thought it was a January night and not a July night. Heavy and at times torrential rainfall was accompanied by gale-force gusts of wind from an unusually deep and tightly wound 990mb low skirting Scotland’s North Coast. Persistent gusts to 49 mph have caused havoc at the Open Championship in St Andrews, […]

We’re now into summer’s second half and there appears to be some pretty significant flips on the way. Since the heavy rains have eased in the last couple of weeks across Texas and Oklahoma and with very high evaporation rates at this time of year, soils are drying out and by doing so, along with […]

This very unsettled and unseasonable weather for mid-July ain’t going anywhere fast I’m afraid. After a very wet and windy night across Northern Ireland and Scotland with significant flooding in areas, today will be showery with a continued stiff breeze. We had a terrific lightning display overnight across parts of Southeast and Northwest England as well as […]
Persistent heavy rains, thunderstorms and of course wet ground as a result has led to an unusually cool open to July for Chicago and surrounding Midwest locales. In fact July 2015’s opening 8 days has been coolest in 31 years with 3 highs no better than 67 degrees. That’s the ‘average’ for May 5 and October […]
This latest northward warm surge from Iberia through France into the southern UK comes and goes almost immediately. Triggered and brought to an abrupt end by an unusually deep approaching Atlantic low which arrives tonight. Latest visible satellite imagery shows the low gathering and approaching Ireland while out ahead, cloudless skies and SSE winds push heat and humidity north up through France into […]

The main weather system on the US maps these days is probably the Lower Mississippi Valley to Southeast ridge because it’s this that’s helping start the Southwest monsoon season and it’s this that’s also contributing to the severe thunderstorms firing on the Northern Plains into the Lower Midwest today. The position of the ridge is […]
