While April 2018 was one of the coldest on record for the United States and quite possibly North America as a whole… in the starkest of contrasts, on the other side of the pond, it wasn’t just the warmest April on record for many central countries including Germany but it was the continent’s warmest on […]
For the last 8 years, April and May’s have been dominated by extreme, off-the-scale heat waves over the sub-continent region of Asia in particular. On the 19th April last year, Larkana, Pakistan soared to 50C (122F) which was a new Asia heat record for April. It was also Asia’s first 50C in April. This April […]
Most bank holiday weekend’s are associated with dull, dreary, cool and wet but not this early May bank holiday. It’s looking unlikely to be a blip too thanks to a near record strong positive NAO which is deepening an Atlantic trough but powerful downstream Europe ridge.

After a cold March and even colder April, there is confliction between the modelling and my thinking as we go forward. I believe April 2018 was 3rd coldest for the US since the beginning of the satellite era. 1983 remains coldest because it was colder in the Southwest compared to this year. Confliction between man […]

As always, there are several global, regional and local factors which have been taken into consideration when putting together this forecast including the type of winter we’ve just observed. Neutral to slight positive ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) We currently have a slight negative but neutral […]
