Today was a much improved day up here across Scotland as compared to yesterday as the front pushed through. The beautiful low spinning to the west of Ireland has been deepening over the past 36 hours as all the energy flowing in aboard an unseasonably strong summer jet slams up against the big high over […]
It’s early days yet and with not the most perfect environment for any real intensification ramp up, it could be a slow process but newly formed tropical depression 5 is born! Within the next few days, TD 5 should be a storm and looks to impact the Lesser Antilles by Friday, quite likely as a […]
The warm, juicy atmosphere over the Northeast combined with a frontal boundary has allowed strong thunderstorm to blowup and cross the Greater New York City area. During the early afternoon today, heavy storms dropped a rapid 2 inch plus rain which caused significant flooding over Queens and other parts of Long Island. There are also […]
With a large low with deep central pressure spinning away off Ireland, rains will continue feeing in tonight. Thankfully we will see widespread improvment tomorrow with a more sunshine and shower regime kicking in and this looks likely to become the theme over the next 5-7 days at least. While eastern Europe remains dominated by high pressure and hot, mostly […]
Up until now, the tropical Atlantic has been dead, although waves have been travelling the usual west-east journey but they’ve been killed by choking Saharan dust and intense easterly trade winds. Two factors which are never good for tropical development. In the past couple of days, there are TWO waves which have caught attention of the meteorological community […]
Although there is nothing official, it appears as though, up here in Scotland (likely other parts of UK/Ireland too), we’ve just had our COOLEST, WETTEST, CLOUDIEST JULY ON RECORD depending upon where you are. According to a tweet this afternoon by STV’s Sean Batty, Glasgow and Salsburgh, N Lanarkshire had their wettest July while Eskdalemuir, Dumfries and Galloway, which […]
We’re all now beginning to cast our eyes out and towards the autumn and eventually winter season as summer 2012 enters it’s final meteorological month. I intend to keep checking back with the model long range runs and show you and explain what’s going on and where I am going with my forecast which will be […]
The UK will see opposites on weather over the next 12 hours following a wet and dreary day across the South, though it’s an improving picture down along southernmost counties up into the London area this afternoon. While rather cloud and wet across the South, it’s been glorious and warm feeling in the sun up across Scotland following […]
Each of the next at least 5 days will see temperatures from Wichita Falls, Texas to Wichita, Kansas top 110° thanks to a very powerful upper level ridge which has been intensifying in recent days but has really brutalised the Plains all summer long. The stronger the upper ridge, the greater the depth of sinking […]
With the big dome of high pressure parked directly over the Southern Plains states, there’s a pinwheel of deep, tropical moisture cycling around the ridge and up into the Southwest. As the strong late July sun does it’s work and strongly heats the lower atmosphere over the Deserts and Great Basin and with all the moisture streaming […]
