Located in the northeast Atlantic and often in the direct firing line of the jet stream and it’s storms, the UK and Ireland can be a very windy place. In particularly unsettled spells in the heart of winter, it can be the windiest place on earth. Storms can hit at any time of year with 100+ mph […]
As we close the door to autumn’s 2nd month there’s contradiction in the modelling around the end of Oct/beginning of November solution. GFS ensemble indicates a turn to much cooler around Halloween on into the opening days of November, a change from recent years while the CFSv2 weeklies hold on to the milder theme. GFS ensemble […]

Yesterday saw another deluge but thankfully not to the same extremity as 2009 and 2015. Seathwaite Farm first […]

The other three years of which this has occurred is 1878, 1886 and 1893. This is a NHC track you don’t see everyday. TD Seventeen has […]
Hurricane Nate made it’s first landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River, LA at 7pm ET Saturday night and later made a 2nd landfall near Biloxi, MS at 12.30am Sunday. Both landfalls were Category 1 with 85 mph winds. Nate weakened slightly prior to landfall due to land interaction, dry air and cooler waters from it’s peak intensity […]
The 7th hurricane of 2017 and Nate is destined to be the United States 3rd hurricane landfall of 2017. Droughts often end with a flood right?
