Harvey’s wind with gusts in excess of 130 mph has caused significant damage in a focused area around Rockport, Port Lavaca and Port Aransas where the eyewall came ashore at 10pm Thursday […]

Thanks to a southward dive or split jet west of Ireland with main low nearer Iberia, we’re stuck in a slack air flow aloft over the British Isles with a slow moving low near NW Scotland which is providing cool, frequently showery conditions.

Following it’s driest April to wettest June, Gogarbank located near Edinburgh Airport is now in the midst of it’s coolest August in 24 years. It started with an arid April. https://twitter.com/thus_spake/status/861970877835079680 After 2-3 weeks of no rain, the tap was turned back on and forgotten […]
