The weather remains active across the continent with an unusually deep and cold trough swinging through. A boundary draped N-S over eastern Europe triggered severe and damaging thunderstorms over western Russia, the Baltics and Ukraine yesterday. All the while low pressure and unusually cold air for July brought snowfall to the Alps while the UK catches a break of the heavy downpours of late.

This was the scene from Moscow, Russia yesterday.

This morning, parts of the Italian and Austrian Alps woke to this.

Those storms are now south of Moscow.

July Gale

As for the UK, low pressure is approaching the Northwest of Scotland and will bring a wet and increasingly windy overnight and strong to gale-force winds shall continue through Friday.

50-70 mph gusts on exposed NW coasts/high ground is expected tomorrow!

A distinct N-W split during Saturday and Sunday with continued cool, breezy and some showers across NI and Scotland while it’s sunnier, less windy and warmer across bulk of England and Wales.

That N-S split appears to continue through early next week but by Wednesday, the model shows a low crossing the South of the UK/N France and this disturbed weather lifts north.

See this morning’s video.
