Scotland After a rough overnight and first part of today, conditions have greatly improved across Scotland with even some glimmers of brightness appearing this afternoon. Winds remain fresh to strong with coastal gales but all in all it should be a dry night with temperatures holding up near at near 10C. The next batch of wind […]
As predicted from early last week, the UK and Ireland has entered the most active weather period of the month with a string of Atlantic depressions lining up to sweep their vigorous fronts (slowly from west to east) across the country. As many as three systems will swing a heavy, persistent band of rain across Ireland and the UK along with strong, gusty winds this week […]
The pattern has flipped around across the hemisphere with mid-latitude amplification flattening out with the NAO/AO going positive but as a result, rather than dealing with unseasonable cold and snow, the storm train off the Pacific has cranked into high gear for the Pacific Northwest following a record dry spell. If you live in the […]
Check out these 500 mb geopotential height charts off the GFS ensemble. More food for thought and something to wet the taste buds! Chese charts again reiterate what has been said time and time again but when I look at these and see them starting to show the ideas I’ve had since September, I admit I am getting excited. This also […]
Rather than presenting you with a load of written content tonight, I want you to watch the video (sorry about the length but lots to look at). Think it and the maps I’ve included speak for themselves!. As per usual, people are jumping to all sorts of non-justifiable conclusions. I posted on facebook during the night, that the US […]
Here are a bunch of GFS surface charts which show low pressure as the dominant feature of the UK and Ireland weather map over the next 10 days. The charts below extend out through mid next week but what’s interesting is the amount of individual low pressure centres spinning within one huge low pressure trough. […]
The Pacific jet has significantly strenghened over the past few days and over the next 7 days, we will see one storm after the other slam the Pacific Northwest but this unsettled weather with wind, rain, surf and mountain snows, extends down the coast. Expect soaking rains down through San Francisco and likely even Los Angeles. As […]
I’m still working on a post regarding the stratosphere but while that’s being written up, I want to show you what the models are cooking for the beginning of December! Check out the above GFS ensemble for 384 hours. Note the blocking high positioned over Greenland, this will deliver parcels of arctic air into both […]
Haven’t looked at the Jamstec model in a while and thought i would put this up for you to see. Interesting to see it warm for much of Europe while the west and northwest remain colder than normal. This coincides nicely with my winter idea. The last time I looked at this, all of Europe was cold […]
Scotland It’s been a poor day for Central and southern areas with heavy cloudcover, mist and fog as well as a persistent rain or drizzle. Further north it’s been a much better day with sunshine but winds have been fresh to strong. Through tonight a front advances south but it’s associated rain band weakens as […]
