Rest of Europe
While one autumnal low departs, packing damaging wind gusts along the Dutch coast and generating 12-22ft swells at sea, another is sweeping into Ireland and after a day of sun and heavy, thundery showers, expect cloud, wind and rain to increase through Saturday night over the UK. It appears this low was a record-breaker for the Netherlands. Worst for […]
While the Northern half of the British Isles has seen it’s fair share of moisture this summer, the South on the other hand hasn’t. That’s about to change as an unusually deep July low crosses through the Channel bringing coastal gales and a widespread soaking rain. The huge SSTA gradient between central North Atlantic and off […]
With the exceptions of SE England, we continue to see an increase in rainfall this July following the hot, dry start for all of the UK. The monthly average is now back around normal compared to way above average during the opening 5 days. With a particularly cool and at times wet end to July, it’s likely that the central and […]
While there’s a LOT of hysteria about 2015’s opening 6 months being the warmest on record, you can clearly see the influence of the cold North Atlantic’s cooling influence on the atmosphere above and downwind over Ireland and the British Isles. Sure enough, once inland over continental Europe it’s warmer than normal. The strengthening El Nino […]
We have at least less potency in Atlantic lows this week but their presence is still being felt as they may be responsible for flipping the North and Northwest UK into ‘below normal territory’ for July, erasing the incredibly warm start. We started the month like this… We’re now at this… With the last 10 […]

Bare with me… my internet remains down at the house but I am able to at least post from wifi access outwith. Hope to have an engineer out in a day or so but until then, there will be no videos I’m afraid but plenty of written material. As for the weather, well we finally […]
This very unsettled and unseasonable weather for mid-July ain’t going anywhere fast I’m afraid. After a very wet and windy night across Northern Ireland and Scotland with significant flooding in areas, today will be showery with a continued stiff breeze. We had a terrific lightning display overnight across parts of Southeast and Northwest England as well as […]
This latest northward warm surge from Iberia through France into the southern UK comes and goes almost immediately. Triggered and brought to an abrupt end by an unusually deep approaching Atlantic low which arrives tonight. Latest visible satellite imagery shows the low gathering and approaching Ireland while out ahead, cloudless skies and SSE winds push heat and humidity north up through France into […]
Today Marks Summer 2015’s Half Way Point And Atlantic Is Very Much Driving Europe’s Summer (& Year)!
Today marks the mid way point of summer 2015 and it’s very apparent that the ocean and it’s cold and warm anomalies are reflecting the land temperature and precipitation distribution anomalies this year. Where surrounding waters are cold and the ground is wet, it’s cool overall and where waters are warm and ground is dry, it’s warmer than normal, […]
