Rest of Europe
Well it looks as though next week sees another spell of sustained fine, dry and settled weather throughout Ireland and the UK but there’s a temporary break on the way for this weekend. Before we get there, it’s warming up very nicely today. Highs maxed out at 23C over eastern Scotland yesterday and today we […]
Here’s a selection of photo’s from my wife, Karen and I’s visit to Paris last weekend. As you can see the weather was beautiful with cloud free skies which allowed us to observe a stunning sunset from atop of the Eiffel Tower.

Thanks to high pressure drifting west back out into the Atlantic, a plume of warmer and more humid air will make a return to the UK through the second half of this work week. Unfortunately, like recent warm spells, it’s short lived and by this weekend, we’re back in the fresher air. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The […]
Less than two months after Northern Ireland came within .5C of the all-time monthly minimum for April, Katesbridge, Co Down does it again this morning coming within .5C of the June record. Thanks to the classic setup of clear skies and light winds, temperatures fell below freezing and fell to a minimum of -1.9C. Only thing is […]
Good morning, trust you all had a great weekend. Back to the grind for another working week eh! The good news is there’s little in the way of ‘bad weather’ today through at least Wednesday with a mix of sun and cloud and a few isolated showers, however it will be windy along the coasts, […]
I’m away from computers, laptops and forecast models this weekend but here’s a few interesting charts for you to ponder over till I’m back Monday! Jan-May 500mb height anomalies. Strong positive NAO signal. UK/Ireland was cooled by a colder-than-normal Atlantic, helped by persistent westerly flow but continental Europe was warmer-than-normal thanks to a strong +NAO. As for […]
We’ve reached another weekend and it’s yet another ‘tale of two halves’ with another low heavily influencing Northern Ireland and Scotland bringing strong winds and spells of heavy rain, much drier, brighter and therefore warmer into the bulk of England and Wales. Highs will range from 11C in the rain and wind but 21C in […]
Tired of the wet weather? The good news is next week is looking good and probably will bring the most sustained spell of dry weather since April. Unfortunately if it’s summer warmth your looking for your going to be disappointed. The strong high building in off the Atlantic isn’t particularly warm by June standards and the […]
Well the much anticipated and well earned surge of summer late this week appears to be shorter and less intense than first seen by the models. We saw this in May and it’s happening again in June. Why might that be? WET GROUND and COLD NORTH ATLANTIC. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Just look at how much that cold water is […]
There’s no question, it looked and felt more like late November or early December out there yesterday with a howling, cold wind along with heavy and persistent rain. Thank or blame an unusually deep, sub-980mb low which originated over Greenland days earlier. An abnormally cold Atlantic between Greenland and the UK likely helped maintain some of the low’s […]
