Rest of Europe
The science and even meteorological community are watching Bárðarbunga very carefully these days as stirrings from deep below the surface of Iceland are occurring. Yet another small earthquake occurred beneath the volcano just this morning but technically, there’s no real eruption. It’s more of a simmer. The question however is, is there one true eruption building? […]
While the UK ‘should’ enjoy sharply warming temperatures Sunday, Monday, it’s Iceland and mariners of the North Atlantic which should worry about what the models are printing out. Currently Hurricane Christobal is a 985mb, 80 mph Cat 1 Hurricane but while she weakens as a TROPICAL entity, she will undergo the transition to extra tropical […]
We’re currently in a north-south split with high pressure dominating Scotland while low pressure has been very influential across more Southern parts. As we enter the late week into weekend period, another low pushes in from the Atlantic bringing a much more uniform sun and shower regime across the board including Scotland but what’s more eye […]
Since the videos are FINALLY back up and running, I’m not going to do much of a write-up. I’m currently in Bathgate and a little tied for time. While I like to link the write-ups with videos, in today’s written post I want to briefly show you some of the model solutions on the upcoming weekend […]
After a mainly dry, bright and settled weekend, it’s all change to start the new working week as a rather soggy low pushes into southern and central parts of the UK as well as Ireland. In contrast the southern parts of the UK, it’s bright and breezy across Scotland thanks to high pressure over the Norwegian Sea extending south. […]
We knew it would be a cold night by August standards but I must say I was impressed by just how cold it got in Northern Ireland overnight. Famed NI chilly spot, Katesbridge rewrote the national record books this morning when the thermometer dove to new depths for August with a low of -1.9C or 28F. Impressive given […]
We’re catching a break from the wet weather in the Friday through Sunday time frame as ridging between two lows builds into the UK. However, as skies clear tonight, so we can expect the coldest night since spring with a rural frost possible. Come late Sunday into Monday that high shifts into the North Sea and eventually near continent […]
After a wet, breezy and cool day, especially wet across northern parts of the UK, the showers thankfully ease as we head into the weekend. Low pressure gives way to high pressure. It’s been a very persistent negative NAO pattern this week with a high west, northwest of the UK while a large low complex spins over Scandinavia. Chilly […]
I am growing particularly interested in the behaviour and trend we’re seeing with the NAO. Although still a long way off, the type of upcoming winter may already be shown and following the disappointment and bust of last year, I am wanting to look closely and show you what I’m seeing. For EUROPE that is since the US […]
If only it were winter, THIS pattern would be perfect for cold and snow lovers. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Nice strong blocking high over southern Greenland which the core of this pretty deep trough is centred over the North Sea! The blocky nature of the current pattern means a slow eastward progression with N Atlantic ridging building in mid […]
