Although this weekend is somewhat of a wash out for many across the UK, particularly in the west, I guess the milder flow extending all the way down towards the Azores is helping raise spirts as we try to get out of what is one of our coldest spring’s on record. For the Southeastern corner of […]
We had one heck of a wild week and incredibly, it most certainly appears that more of that comes back next week. Absolutely amazing for this late to see this amount of cold coming down out of Canada and with another strong Pacific system rolling through, you’ve got yet another major snow situation from the Colorado […]
Scotland It’s been a cold and damp Friday across much of Scotland although there have been breaks, particularly in the northeast but highs have been disappointing at 5-8C. Tonight will remain cloudy and damp across Central and Southern parts while clearer skies to the North will allow a colder and frosty night. Lows range between 2-4C where cloud […]
Parts of the West are recovering after experiencing some exceptional April cold and believe it or not, this is not done despite the warm up taking place now. I know it’s frustrating, I hear ya, but this is one of those years where old man winter just does not want to make way for summer. […]
For weeks now it’s been all about the strongly negative NAO/AO which has delivered our persistent cold but finally the ensembles are showing the opposite with a fairly sharp rise into positive territory and this will support the opposite teleconnection which has setup up beautifully of late between eastern North America and western Europe. In other words, instead […]
Scotland The pattern has finally switched around with our weather now coming in from a SW direction, rather than from the east and that means much cloudier skies along with rain and a freshening breeze. With the cold air mass still trying to hang on, it’s a cold rain with snow falling over the hills. Through […]
The warmup in the East was a reminder of what season we’re heading into but for some, it may have been a little warm, too fast as parts of the NYC Tri-State got up close to 90 while the DC-Baltimore area did reach 90 for the first time this year. Keep in mind that it […]
The upcoming ‘warm spell’ which has been forecasted here since last week is now well advertised as it becomes more and more obvious on the models but while many jump on the idea that it’s going to warm up, i’ve been trying to determine the finer details of this weekend, such as timing, how much sun and just […]
Scotland Some small changes on the way over the next 24 hrs, greater change comes this weekend in the form of much milder weather. Tonight will see largely cloudy skies along with an easterly breeze. Both will keep the air temp up but it will feel colder with the wind. Chance of an odd flurry […]
The storm barrelling across the heart of the United States right now is producing about as wild of as you’ll ever get at this time of year with mid-winter arctic air trailing behind a potent frontal system while summer-like air spreads out ahead. The system is drawing copious amounts of Gulf moisture and as this swings […]
