Rest of Europe
We’re stuck in a chilly, showery NW flow here across the UK but this setup is soon to change come the weekend as heights builds in from the Atlantic. As for mainland Europe, it’s been anything but benign, while the Spanish Costas continue to sweat in mid-summer heat (37C in Malaga), flooding rains too cause issues around around Alicante […]
Overall, September has proven pretty successful in terms of drier and more settled across much of the UK and as pointed out back in late August, there will be spells of unsettled but the emphasis should be largely on higher heights than that of the June-August period. Brief Ocean-Atmosphere Overview Interestingly the cool theme continues from […]
An autumnal trough currently over Northwest Europe brought an interesting contrast this morning across Spain in particular with cooler than normal extending from Scotland down through France into northern/central Spain. Clear sky and light winds meant a chilly night with mist, fog and patchy frost but Spain is separated by two very different air masses.

After a lengthy spell of fine, dry and settled weather across Northern Ireland and Scotland, this week will be quite different thanks to a reversal in upper pattern with low over high. That means Atlantic fronts will frequently drop into Scotland from the northwest bringing cool, wet and at times quite windy conditions. However, give it […]
Thought I would show you the September version of the December-February period off both the Met Office and Jamstec models. Rather interesting to say the least. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] 500mb heights Mean sea level pressure 2m temperature Precipitation Jamstec While at this time I don’t believe another 09-10 style winter is ahead and by that I mean LONGEVITY combined with intensity of snow and […]
Well we arrived home around teatime yesterday and this morning it’s cool and foggy, big difference to yesterday morning when we walked over to breakfast in shorts and 22C early AM sunshine. All good things must come to an end right? Looks like my overall Sept idea is playing out pretty well. A decent first 10-15 […]
Late I know but as promised, here’s some thoughts on next week and through the rest of the month. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Little change overall with a northerly blocking high set to re-establish. The brunt of the unsettled weather has been over Iberia into France, Low Countries, England and Wales with Scotland and Northern Ireland let off lightly. A […]
The remnant low of former Tropical Storm Henri is having far reaching influence across Western Europe with heavy rain, flooding downpours and disruptive winds which has generated heavy seas. Infrared satellite view from earlier shows the centre just of NW Iberia. While a band of heavy rain and gusty winds are found along and just ahead of […]
This article from the Express caught my eye on a shop newspaper stand this morning. Thought I would share a few thoughts on this. While I’m not saying we can’t have a winter in 2015-16, I highly doubt a repeat of 09-10 is on the way. Why? With the exceptions of El Nino, there is little […]
Despite being on holiday, my intensions have been to continue writing posts. However, there has been ongoing server issues which has prevented me from providing content. This is why there was no posts yesterday but it appears to be back up again today. It seems every time I go abroad, the website plays up. Is it me? […]
