As forecasted, the snow arrived last night whittening many parts of Scotland and Northern England and although it’s been melting through today, a cold night tonight will help freeze the remaining snow on the ground and thus, slow warming through tomorrow will result in a slower melting process, so this snow should linger through this week. It will help keep nights […]
The models are turning increasingly colder with each run for the next 2 weeks across Europe and this week ahead looks tough for travellers across the continent as heavy snow will cause widespread disruption. The building cold will plunge millions into the deep freeze by week two and while cold this week, next week will be colder and […]
Not only has the cold been rapidly intensifying over the Northern Hemisphere’s key source region ‘Siberia’, it has been significantly expanding right across Northern Asia and now extending into Europe too. A similar rapid expanse of snow cover has been observed across Canada and Alaska with readings currently down to at least 51 below zero F in the Yukon. The […]
The pattern is becoming very zonal across the country and that means mild air will dominate the Lower 48 for probably the next 7 days. However, while there will be a chance of record warmth, a system crossing the Northern Tier next week will pull down cold air out of Canada bringing chilly weather back […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland An area of rain and hill snow has been slowly working south through this afternoon and has now brought some cold, low level rain to the Central Belt. Enough warmth aloft is supporting rain despite surface temperatures around freezing. Through tonight, as the mid levels cool, the rain may turn to snow […]
First of all I want to take a look at the next 48 hours which is a real headache as it’s complicated. The complicating factor is that we have a weak Atlantic frontal system trying to make inroads into the Northern UK but the question is, how does this interact with the cold air in place. Does it warm it enough […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland It’s been a cold day with many areas holding on to the frost and ice all day as temps rise to only 1-2C. Sheltered areas failed to crack the freezing mark. This ‘cold base’ sets the stage for another very cold late November night but there are subtle changes compared to last night’s widespread […]
Over the next 7 days there are two potential systems which could present UK snowfall, the first being Friday of this week and the second being next Monday. In between, there will be plenty of bright, sunny weather but cold with daytime highs held at between 0-4C and where skies are clear by night, a frost […]
A messege to all you cold weather fans across the US. Do not start crying about the frying that starts December. Yes, it’s going to get mild, how mild? 1, 2 even 3 day departures of 10-20F ABOVE normal, ouch! The good news is however that there is a ton of frigid air over a large chunk […]
While the cold air is here, a lot of uncertainly lies in the forecast as mild Atlantic air tries to erode the cold over the UK late tomorrow and Friday. The question is, will the cold win out by either keeping the front back west or will it allow the front to penetrate inland but turn rain over the […]
