Rest of Europe
For some time now I’ve been making mention about high pressure building later next week. This still looks likely, however, modelling is shifting the position of this high and this could significantly change the outcome of our weather and temperature profile. Loyal subscriber, Duncan tweeted me yesterday, pointing this out. I thought I better check this out […]
It’s been rather stormy well to our south in recent days. Check out these incredible images of 7 metre waves battering the North Coast of Spain near Santander yesterday. We have a very active, highly UP and DOWN temp regime through the next couple of days alone. Mild tonight as the warm front sweeps across […]
My drive up to Fort William was relatively uneventful until I past by the Bridge of Orchy and took the climb up into Rannoch Moor. The A82 quickly become snow covered and with the exposure to wind, blowing and some minor drifting brought the traffic flow to a crawl and even stand still over Rannoch […]
I am out all day today so today’s write-up was in fact put together late last night but I would rather have something rather than nothing. Here was the snowy scene on the A82 and A9 last night. Not very pleasant. Glen Ogle Tyndrum Drumnochter If you’ve been watching and reading, you’ll be well aware of […]
After a cold, frosty overnight, the next front is now pushing in. As the moisture bumps up against the cold air, so snowfall is occurring above 150-200 metres with mixing down to lower levels. It’s sleeting here in Lennoxtown with snow falling in the hills to my north as I write. If your travelling the higher road […]
You may have woken this morning to a hard, ‘icy’ frost or even at light dusting of snow. That’s because we’re on the backside (cold side) of a frontal system associated with the latest low. Over the next week or more, we have a series of lows heading our way and these will bring the return to […]
The extreme cold covering eastern North America is fuelling an exceptionally powerful jet stream over the Atlantic and in turn, storms are frequent and strong. This sets up a fairly wild setup for Ireland and the UK. Check out the initial (oohr) 850mb temp gradient. As a result the jet rounds the bend of the eastern US […]
As forecast, modelling is firmly showing a ‘stormier’ pattern for Western Europe which means the return of severe gales, temperature rollercoaster’s and backside SNOW. Skinny ridges behind these lows will produce some pretty cold, frosty nights with the potential comeback of -10 nights over Highland snow fields. The early part of Sun night is seen to be one […]
We may not be heading into a significant winter pattern by any means by the collapse of the southern ridge will at least bring spells of cold on the backside of a much more active Atlantic pattern fuelled by extreme cold on the other side of the Atlantic. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] These lows will transport North […]
We know the Atlantic is set to fire on all cylinders this week, fuelled by an extreme cold pool developing over North America. The trouble for us was that last week, the models had a stronger than normal Azores high. A strength and position which would direct Atlantic lows predominantly to our north thus keeping us mild.
