Rest of Europe
HIGH PRESSURE rules the remainder of this week with very little rain except for isolated, heat-induced thunderstorms. If there’s a week to take your summer holidays and stay in the UK, this is it! The models are adamant at holding back a front that’s off the West Coast till at least LATE Saturday into Sunday. Expect widespread inland […]
While there’s some very interesting developments in the current phase of solar cycle 24 which this post is based on, I also want to show the striking similarity between current global sea surface temps and El Nino to back at the same time in 2009. Summer is warmer than 2009 in the UK while it’s chilly […]
It’s been a wild weekend and close to last week across Western Europe thanks to low and high pressure funnelling north the warmest weather of the summer. The energy built as the mid and upper atmosphere cooked on top of the hot, humid low levels which forced a sharp thermal gradient, a setup which significantly accelerated the rate […]

The warmth is building over Ireland and the British Isles as the so called ‘Spanish plume’ get’s going. As explained in recent days, a Spanish plume or heat surge from Spain is created by the squeezing and forcing of air between a low off Ireland and high over Germany or the near continent. That’s what we’re […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Today’s written post is based around today’s video so be sure to watch it. Here are the upper level charts related to today’s video. Notice the surge of heat rounding the base of the trough and driving due north into the UK and Low Countries! Today’s highs according to the GFS. Noticeably warmer […]
Bang on schedule, the warmest air of summer so far is lifting north out of Africa right on the nose of the warmest time of the calendar year. The combination of low pressure west of Ireland and high pressure over Germany sets the stage but it’s waves of energy riding the boundary in between that will help […]
This will likely be a top 5 warmest year for Europe but in relation to the post a few days ago, the CFSv2 may be hinting at a big flip towards late autumn into winter. Rubber band ready to snap? Notice the warm end to summer and autumn then flip in December and particularly January! Be sure to […]
We have a NW to SE divide across the UK this week thanks to a ridge over the continent and trough west of Ireland. It’s a classic summertime setup with moist systems crossing northern Ireland and Scotland while head further south and you get into the sunshine and warmer, more humid air. Here’s how the […]
What a difference a day makes. The new air mass is in and I expect to see rain spread across Scotland during the course of today. This morning’s view! Yesterday morning! Quite a change particularly in the north this weekend. FOR DETAILS ON THE UPCOMING WEEK. SEE YESTERDAY’S WRITE-UP AND VIDEO! I want to take […]
