Scotland The rest of today and right through the weekend looks largely fine, dry and settled with the exceptions of the far north where there’s a weak boundary bringing rain, sleet, snow and hail to the Northern Isles and far northern mainland. Tonight will be mainly dry with clear spells, lows of 1-2C where cloud prevails, […]
Thought it would be a good time to look at the global SST’s and tie in some interesting anomalies which have appeared during the cold second half to winter across the Northern Hemisphere and also look at the deep tropics and potentials with the upcoming Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season. Firstly, here’s the current global SST’s as […]
Although we have more cold nights to come through the rest of this week into the weekend and perhaps even extending into early next week, the emphesis now turns to next week’s return to a much more typical Atlantic driven pattern for the UK and Ireland with rain bearing, much milder southwest winds as we loose the persistent block to our […]
Scotland With light winds and plenty of PM sunshine on offer, it feels quite pleasant out there and not as cold as we’ve seen. Nights have remained cold though with a widespread, penetrating frost. After enjoying highs of up to 8-10C today, tonight makes way for another cool night but perhaps less cold with cloudier skies. […]
There is most certainly light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the breakdown of this stubborn cold pattern which still dominates the Northern Plains down to the Mid-Atlantic. Through next week we will see a significant, 180-degree turnaround in temperature from 30s and 40s this week from North Dakota to West Virginia to […]
We all know this cold pattern can’t last forever but the big question has been for a while now, when will this all end. Since Mid-March it was clear the pattern would persist into April and now that we’re into April, I have been hinting at a mid-month turnaround with a potentially warmer than normal […]
The website went down briefly this morning and when doing so, it unfortunately wiped out both yesterday’s UK and Ireland Regional Forecast and the post I did overnight on the US pattern through next week, so, here’s a fresh and updated post for you and additionally, a video to go with it… Folks, we have a 180-degree pattern flip coming […]
When the heck is it going to warm up your asking! We’re tired of all this cold weather? I hear ya. My answer is MID-April. Prepare for 15 more days of unseasonable cold, especially if your living in central Europe and we are done with this. Although there may well be cool spells into May, the real cold will be done and we […]
As a cold surface high pressure system continued to build down from Norway and over top of a still healthy snowpack over Grampian Scotland, conditions have become more favourable for significantly cold late March nights. With snow covered ground, stopping any warmth from penetrating the ground by day and clear skies,, light winds along with a very cold, dry air mass […]
While April may bring one of the coldest openings in 20 years for parts of the Canadian Prairies and US, spring DOES appear to be on the horizon according to the models but it’s going to get colder before it get’s warmer. Patience has been key throughout March and in fact winter this year never really got going until February. What […]
