The Pacific off South America’s west coast is typically too cool for support tropical cyclones and so the feature which has popped up in the last 36 hours off Chile could be a first. The below chart showing global tropical cyclone tracks say it all. There is no record of anything in this region of […]
Spring 2018 will go down as one of the most up and down and extreme that I can remember. Let’s start from the beginning, March hosted not one but two ‘beast from the easts’. On the 1st of the month many towns and cities observed their coldest March day on record from Shetland to Somerset. […]
Check out this amazing map below displaying the nearly 9 billion lightning strikes which have hit earth in the last 5 years. The map clearly shows where our lightning hot spots are around the world and where there’s least. Vaisala, a Finland-based maker of weather- and environmental-monitoring equipment, detected 8.76 billion lightning strikes from 2013 […]
No two springs are ever the same, especially on the Plains with one year too wet, another too dry, too hot and this year, too dry and cool. As your probably well aware, the great plains is home to some of the most dramatic, diverse and extreme weather on the planet. Geography and position within […]

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. Not only does this weekend and upcoming 7 days […]
Last weekend saw mountain snows in the interior Northeast and record lows in the Midwest/Ohio Valley. 6pm Update from the Adirondacks… Snow accumulated more since earlier this afternoon/evening of April 29, 2018. Snowing down to 1000' in some areas. I wonder if there's still skiing around in the mountains. #Whiteface pic.twitter.com/KuhFieqZbV — Ralphs Weather OBS […]
