Frosty morning’s even in May? It’s actually common away from urban areas when cooler, drier ‘northerly’ highs are overhead. Average No of days with frost in May. As the sun goes down in the evening the radiational cooling process kicks in fast. But once the sun returns, the dry air, wind free air rapidly heats, […]
Following two straight days of severe thunderstorms with embedded derechos, heavy flooding rainfall is the threat throughout the Northeast. https://twitter.com/Accu_Jesse/status/996841615745527808 https://twitter.com/NWSEastern/status/996562515386564609 https://twitter.com/weatherchannel/status/996744075230539777 https://twitter.com/capitalweather/status/996784346433511425 https://twitter.com/capitalweather/status/996772103465701377 https://twitter.com/NWSEastern/status/996482434270224384 https://twitter.com/capitalweather/status/996788961279463425 It’s by no means over either… Deep tropical moisture lifting north out of the Caribbean and colliding with a stalled frontal boundary means heavy, flooding rains.

11 May 2018 Scientists in New Zealand have documented what they believe is the largest wave ever recorded in the southern hemisphere. The 23.8m (78ft) wave was measured by a buoy on New Zealand’s Campbell Island in the Southern Ocean on Tuesday, the country’s weather authority said. It eclipses a 22.03m wave that was identified […]
Since this morning’s video the CFSv2 monthlies have updated but the long term solution remains the same. A nice blocking high anchored across Northern Europe with lower heights from Iberia across the Med. This supports a warmer, drier summer overall for Ireland, UK and Scandinavia, cooler and wetter across southern France, Iberia and Med. This […]
After scorching the Southwest last week, the first major hot dome of the year slide east bringing a record hot Mother’s Day weekend from Texas to the Carolinas. The Carolinas sweated the most with a near 100-degree afternoon yesterday in Columbia, SC. https://twitter.com/NWSRaleigh/status/995788607251275776 https://twitter.com/NWSColumbia/status/995779995271335937 https://twitter.com/NWSAtlanta/status/995769089703505920 Heat Gives Way To Tropical Rains As we progress into […]
The weather may be uneventful, even boring these days over the UK and Ireland but it’s not everywhere. Thanks to a strong flexing ridge over Scandinavia, it’s looked and felt like summer with yesterday warming to 25.8C at Lahti, south-central Finland. The average for May is 16C and even for July it’s only 22C. This […]
As you can clearly see from the below temperature anomaly chart, much of the Northern Hemisphere has well and truly pulled out of winter but the interior of Greenland’s vast icecap has not. Sure, away from the coastline, it’s typically chilly during May and cold deeper inland but the chill of late has been something […]
The Desert Southwest has received a very early taste of mid summer level heat with many daily records melting. Not surprisingly, Death Valley has been the hottest spot in North America for the last 4 straight days. A high of 116 is rare for this early. A record 105 degrees set at McCarren Intl Airport, […]
