It’s been a winter which will likely become known as one of the worst in many years from Alice Springs to the East Coast. Persistent high pressure systems and southerly air flows supported frequent spells of ‘worst cold nights’ in 20, 30, 40, 50+ years from southern Queensland all the way to Tasmania. We even saw record cold […]
For several days now the ECMWF, GFS and other models have been persistent in jumping on the idea of a good spell of weather for pretty much all of the UK from Wednesday onwards. Even over Northern Ireland and across to Scotland where we naturally have fronts swinging through or nearby enough to provide cloudy, cool and […]
Tropical Storm Leslie is being closely watched by the US East Coast residents, especially after what we’ve seen with Hurricane Isaac. There remains a lot of uncertaintly with Leslie , same old story right? but as of now, I do believe there is probably no more than a 30% chance that Leslie will impact the US. […]
With the exceptions of Scotland, Northern Ireland and perhaps northern England where the next batch of weather has moved in, further south, thanks to building heights and warmth from the Azores, it’s a generally decent day with plenty of warm, hazy sunshine to be had. This decent weather marks a trend to better weather overall in 7-10 […]
Over the next few days we should see Isaac begin to dissipate but it’s been a long ride with this system dumping 10-20 inches of rain over LA, MS, AL and this is extending northwards into the areas which need the rain badly. The next 2-3 days will see some decent rains push into the Midwest and […]
For those in search of seeing some wild weather from Hurricane Kirk here across the British Isles and Ireland next week, well you’ll be sorely dissapointed I’m afraid as models continue to show this feature disappear off the map by day 5 as it’s absorbed within the Azores high. Saturday-Sunday pose opposites from north to […]
Yes, you weren’t imagining it, it was cold for a late August morning throughout the UK and yes for some, you had to scrape frost off the car windscreen this morning. It was all thanks to the departure of the latest low pressure system which crossed the UK bringing the usual wind and rain and […]
Earlier today, people in the Philippines ran to higher ground as a major undersea earthquake measuring 7.6 magnitude struck, causing strong shaking which lasted a long time according to one person. The epicentre of this earthquake was located roughly 91 miles east of Guiuan in Samar province of Philippines within the Philippine Trench at a depth of 20 miles […]
The timing of a storm intensifying into a fully fledged hurricane can mean the difference between a hit on the US or it remaining a fish storm with a recurve over the western or even central Atlantic depending on positioning and weaknesses within the Mid-Atlantic ridge. As with Isaac, I believed this thing would remain weak […]
This summer, like recent ones have been somewhat of a dissapointment which extend all the way back to the soaker of 2007 where this ‘wet cycle’ appears to have began. You have you go back to 2006 to find the last truely warm and dry summer here for all of the UK. Summers before 2007 appeared to […]
