A variable month which started with mild west, cold in east along with Storm Amy slamming the UK/Ireland while record early snowfalls affected the Balkans. Into mid month and the ridge/trough pattern flipped around with colder east, warmer east and high variation in rainfall distribution. Global temp & precip anomaly for October 2025 Europe UK […]
October ends and November begins with a deep Icelandic trough/Euro high with a predominantly mild, moist WSW flow as per week 1 of the CFSv2. The below total accumulated rainfall displays the above nicely with wettest where exposed to the Atlantic rainbands. A windy period too. With possible strengthening of the Euro ridge, I suspect […]
In this 2nd winter update, I wish to make this more thoughts based on what was discussed in the 1st update. Basing the latest drivers into potential outcomes. DRIVERS: LA NINA / EASTERLY QBO / WARM OVER COLD NORTH PACIFIC & FADING -IOD Some important considerations for Winter 25-26 We’re firmly in at least weak […]
From deep cyclonic to anticyclonic, the wild swings of autumn! Storm Amy and her record low pressure and wind speeds seem like a distant memory since a powerful area of high pressure steadily built in and anchored itself over the UK. As is often the case during autumn, we’ve found ourselves parked beneath a strong, […]
It was another healthy Southwest Monsoon season for India and Asia as a whole but not without large regional variation.

Devastating flooding and landslides affected millions of people and led to widespread casualties, […]
September 2025 will go down as a tail of two halves. A highly zonal, Atlantic low pressure dominated first half followed by cooler, drier, higher pressure dominated 2nd half. As predicted, a wet month with average to below average temps for much of UK/Ireland. Global temp & precip anomaly for September 2025 Europe UK Highlights/Stats […]
Following a September of two halves with low pressure dominance replaced by high, October’s opening days shall grow increasingly unsettled, even stormy. Thanks to a series of lows and dangling fronts separating low pressure to NW and high pressure SE, significant rain (warnings issued) is expected in Western Scotland over the next week or so […]
Latest Key Factors We’re increasingly likely to observe at least WEAK La Nina conditions through late autumn and early winter. 3 KEY DRIVERS: La Nina, Easterly QBO, -IOD Latest equatorial Pacific SSTA’s show La Nina conditions developing. The important region to watch is for ENSO status is 3.4 Model Projection Examples of Easterly QBO years: […]
Below information/statistics from Wikipedia The list of weather records includes the most extreme occurrences of weather phenomena for various categories. Many weather records are measured under specific conditions—such as surface temperature and wind speed—to keep consistency among measurements around the Earth. Each of these records is understood to be the record value officially observed, as these records may have […]
August 2025 was another warm month for UK, Ireland W Europe as well as many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Not everywhere was warm, however, it was cool in places such as the Baltic states, parts of Kazakhstan, Mongolia as well as Eastern US. 3rd warmest August on record globally behind 2023 and 2024 with […]
