Scotland Today marked the warmest of the year so far across Scotland with highs of 18 to 22C but change is on the way through the next 12-18 hours. Low pressure will spread wind and rain across southern and central Scotland tomorrow with a fresh to strong SE wind. As for tonight, it’s a fine, dry and quiet night with […]
As expected, the cold front is hanging back but while wind and rain spreads north through Ireland and Wales tonight, the sun will be out across much of Scotland and England tomorrow. The southerly flow and sunshine along with warmer 5,000ft temps should promote surface readings of 20-21C in Glasgow, 22-23C in Manchester and possibly 24-25C from York […]
Scotland Following a dreary, damp first half to Monday in the west with brighter skies further east, it turns clear and settled through tonight across much of Scotland. Despite the clear skies, temperatures won’t drop much below 4-5C, nearer 7 or 8C in towns and cities thanks to a warmer air mass coming up from the […]
The deep low which brought all-time record May snowfall from Wisconsin to Arkansas and record cold all the way to Houston is now a ‘cut off’ upper low and presenting the Southeast with flooding rains. Eventually this thing will clear out but another system is now driving into California and has cut the heat and should bring appreciable showers and thunderstorms […]
Thought I would take a closer look at the timing of the cold front on this Sunday morning with a look at the latest run of the GFS. What’s interesting to me is the fact that it would appear EASTERN Ireland and the Repubic as well as central and eastern Scotland should enjoy more warmth and sunshine even on Tuesday and not […]
The heat is on from Monday through Wednesday next week as an upper level and surface ridge drives the Iberian heat pump all the way up into southern Norway, Sweden and Finland next week.Right now, the headache with next week’s forecast is the timing of an approaching cold front, however as it approaches from the west, rather than spoling the show, […]
A large, unusual and once-in-a-lifetime storm system that’s currently spinning over the heart of the United States and dragging arctic air all the way into Texas will continue to do so over the next few days. It has already been responsible for producing local and state all-time record snows with 28.2 inches of snow reported in Colorado, 18 […]
I see more now jumping on board the warm idea for next week as it becomes obvious but don’t be fooled, a cooldown will follow as the NAO goes back negative once again. May continues to look cool overall according to the long range models and the fact the NAO is going back negative. This has been clearly […]
Scotland Following a decent afternoon from the Central Lowlands on south, an area of rain with sleet and snow mixed in will advance south through this evening providing a damp, dreary night across much of the country with the exceptions of the East where it stays somewhat drier. Lows tonight will be much milder than […]
