Rest of Europe

Impressive storms blew up bang on schedule yesterday across a broad area of Western Europe from the Republic of Ireland to Germany. The strongest storms erupted over the near continent with supercells impacting Belgium. Those supercells produced large hail which interrupted the friendly between Belgium and Tunisia. Here was the scene once players were taken off […]

As you’ll be well aware, thunderstorms are now pushing northward over the UK along an active frontal zone associated with low pressure out at sea. Warm, humid air is fuelling these drenching storms, triggered by the front and cold air at 20,000ft. Nothing much else to add as I’ve posted on this a lot in […]

Conditions come together this weekend for some strong thunderstorms. Thunderstorms which are likely to produce flooding rains, frequent lightning (in places), large hail, gusty winds and perhaps a few funnels or weak tornadoes. Warm, moist air riding beneath a cold mid upper level with a strong front pushing through sets the stage up nicely. volatile […]

Sorry for no written post yesterday. Was out all day and ended up not getting a chance to post. This weekend certainly looks volatile for Ireland, UK and western flank of the European mainland. If you live in this region of the world, be aware of some rather ‘active’ weather on the way. TOP IMAGE: Courtesy/Credit: NOAA [s2If […]

We have the type of pattern right now across the continent in which low pressure sits pretty much stuck off the SW coast of Ireland and NW of Portugal, held in place by a dominant and sprawling upper level ridge sitting over most of Europe. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] While central, eastern and northern parts of the continent see much warmer, […]

The first week of June and meteorological summer is turning out to be rather unsettled in the West while hot in the East and North of Europe. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Interestingly the new run of the CFSv2 has trended wetter in the west including the UK for June. Major warmth for central and north. It remains […]

While there’s a lot of warm, humid air covering the European continent including the UK this weekend, we have a rather significant ATLANTIC influence through the upcoming 10 days. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The models are showing TWO significant lows which will not only bring wet, windy conditions to the western side of the continent but may bring a […]

The weather pattern is currently dominated by a ridge of high pressure extending from the Azores up towards Scandinavia providing a decent weekend with a mix of sun and cloud and warm temps. Expect low 20s in Madrid, Paris, London up to Stockholm. The shower and thunderstorm chances increase the further south and east you head […]

From the worst Balkans flooding in history to the hottest May weather on record for northwest Russia and eastern Scandinavia, this week looks set to bring a major flood threat. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] It looks as though a large north-south region stretching from the boot of Italy into Greece all the way north to the Baltic states look set […]

As we approach meteorological summer 2014, it appears the pattern is showing it’s hand. Where it’s driest it’s warmest and where wettest, well to an extent, it’s coolest. In terms of pattern now and through the next 2 weeks, it looks to be showing us what we can expect through the next 1-2 months. [s2If […]
