Rest of Europe
It was a cold Fathers Day over Central Europe. Last 7 days not much better… The water temperature anomaly over the Atlantic and Mediterranean has a lot to say for the type of pattern we’ve had across Europe. Temp anomaly for last 30-days. Things may be about to flip around BIG TIME as we head […]
Tomorrow is not only Father’s Day but our longest day of the year and no it won’t be a scorcher by any means. In fact it may feel more like autumn across parts of Scotland… For the SOUTHERN half of England and Wales dad’s day is looking decent with some sun and bright spells, temps […]
Believe it or not but the summer solstice is a mere two days away. I know many will ask, what summer? The good thing is that the warmest period of the year comes AFTER the solstice despite the fact that nights ‘technically’ shorten again. Just like the coldest period of the year follows the winter […]
More often than you’d think, when tropical heat gets lifted north into the mid-latitudes, a ripple effect is created and quite often, this signals a large-scale pattern shift. Up till now and really since the beginning of 2015, there’s been a fight between the Azores high and Iceland low. The weather has always been that […]
Up till now, we’ve experienced a very mixed weather pattern with fight between the Azores high and Icelandic low. The cold waters of the Atlantic is most certainly suppressing the atmosphere’s ability to heat the UK lower atmosphere and with a mean ridge position to the SW of Ireland, the flow has been northwesterly.

In just the last 20 or so years, we have experienced some of the UK’s warmest, coolest, driest and wettest summers in recorded history. Here’s a look back at some of the most memorable summers since 1990. Information provided is from the Met Office. Hot spell August 1990 At the beginning of August 1990 there […]
Quick look back at last week’s anomalies across Europe. Cooler and drier than normal across the north but warmer than normal across the south, wetter, stormier from N Iberia into the Alps… This morning’s infrared satellite view which I explain more in the video! Check this out… the cold North Atlantic and therefore colder air […]
There’s no real chance to the overall idea for the upcoming work week. We’ve went from 27C two days ago down to 18C in and around London today. Cooler, cloudier and for some, wet as winds have turned to a NW direction. By the time we reach Wednesday, we’ll be back near 26C in the Southeast […]
For much of May, the CFSv2 has had June as a drier than normal month for the UK and Ireland while wetter down into Iberia, so far, that appears to be a pretty good call based on the current setup and projected continuation of high pressure dominance. The CFSv2 weeklies show a dry 2nd half to June for […]
Tell me, where would you rather be today… London where it may top 27C or Summit Camp, Greenland where it’s currently -27C? Not a fan of the heat? Well you catch a break in the wake of today’s thunderstorms and persistent rains of tomorrow (across Wales and central swathe of England). MUCH cooler across Northern Ireland […]
