Rest of Europe
When looking closely at the SSTA’s globally, it’s actually amazing to see just how alike early March this year is to last year at the same time and how similar the atmospheric setup is in response with extreme cold eastern US and continued unsettled theme over the UK, warm across much of Europe with a lack of blocking […]
It was an interesting weather day yesterday with nearly 6 inches of rain falling across the West Highlands with multiple road closures due to flooding and landslides while Northeast Ireland’s Co Down took the prize for UK warm spot so far. Here’s the scene along the closed A85 this morning following the deluge of the past […]
There’s a lot of moisture piling into the western side of Scotland today into tomorrow thanks to a near stalled front that’s being pushed back by a powerful ridge SE of the UK. The persistent and strong SSW flow is driving sub-tropical moisture into western upslopes and therefore enhancing the rainfall as well as driving the warmest […]
Stage looks set for the UK and near continent to experience some spring warmth. It’s the squeeze between deep low pressure to the NW and strong high pressure to the SE where winds will blow hard out of the SSW Saturday, driving the warmest air of the year into Ireland, UK and Low Countries.

Making the most of the above view captured this morning as snow may be about to disappear around here for good. Well for the rest of this season anyway! As you saw first hand on here yesterday, March has the ability to produce big snows but also has the ability to take away just as quick. Check […]
Precipitation (along with surrounding SST anomalies will play vital role as we head for the warm season) Temp Anomaly Hope to share some thoughts on this in tomorrow’s video!

Last night’s snowfall will go down as one of the ‘surprise March snowfalls’. By that I mean the nearly half a foot of snow we got here in Lennoxtown and across many relatively low lying parts of central Scotland. March isn’t unknown to bring the biggest snows of the year, in part down to increased moisture […]
It may be cold and snowy commencing the new work week and 2nd day of spring but this wild weather looks set to abate as we head deeper into the week. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] There’s northing spring-like about the stinging NW wind and frequent snow showers rattling in with blowing and drifting over higher road routes but […]
It’s a cold, blustery and for some, wintry open to spring 2015. We have a fairly brisk W wind going at present with origins extending all the way back to Arctic Canada so it’s a polar-maritime air mass in place. This is bringing fresh snowfall to higher elevations of Scotland, Northern Ireland and N England. […]
In today’s post I want to look at the bigger, broader picture. Look at the drivers which bring us the type of winter’s and summer’s we get. Why was winter 2011-12 and 2013-14 a no show while 2009-10 and 2010-11 brutal. Why were the last two summer’s good compared to the previous 6? [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Firstly, […]
