Hard to believe we were dealing with snow and January level wind chills barely a week ago.

We saw rare (even for winter) sea level snow on the Isles of Coll, Tiree and Iona while subfreezing wind chills shivered the North Sea Coast from Caithness to Kent even during the afternoon hours.

Marham, Norfolk was the UK warm spot Saturday with 25C but parts of Scotland failed to even reach 10C and it felt cold in the stiff east wind.
Chilly start for Altnaharra where here, there was clear sky within a cool maritime air mass verses the warm continent air holding night mins in the 11-13C range between Bristol and London.

Monday through Wednesday will see the warmest conditions focused across the Northern UK and Scandinavia as more unstable air in association with the low west of Iberia, spreads north bringing more shower and thunderstorms activity.
ECMWF surface shows the more unsettled weather lifting north with Scotland/Northern Ireland and Scandinavia holding on to sunny high pressure.

By mid week to late week, the high pressure core retrogrades back towards Iceland and Greenland and UK winds veer from easterly to northeasterly and eventually northerly. So, we loose the subtropical air and in comes the arctic air yet again by next weekend.
850mb temps today.
Late week/next weekend
More on late next week and beyond tomorrow!
See today’s video.
