Rest of Europe
While western Europe deals with a second day of strong to severe thunderstorms thanks as a large low pressure complex moves in, Russia and the east deals with searing heat. Thunderstorms have and continue to spread northward from Iberia to Scotland and here was the scene on a motorway near Cork, Ireland this afternoon. While storms develop and run the north-south boundary, it’s warm […]

In today’s write-up and video I thought I would show you the past January through March precipitation distribution and well as the month of April and past 7 days. Rather interesting when you compare these charts to the CFSv2 temperatures for the fast approaching meteorological summer season.

Increasing warmth and humidity beneath a vigorous upper low, the same which produced the worst flooding in Serbia and Bosnia history, generated strong to severe thunderstorms over parts of Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Romania yesterday. Over 13,000 lightning strikes within 24 hours, 6,000 in an afternoon alone struck Ukraine. Note the large amount of strikes over […]
Here a quick glance at the latest CFSv2 precip/temp charts for Europe through the June-August period. Interestingly the latest run shows a WARMER and DRIER than normal June for the UK. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] JUNE Precip Temp As for July and August, the model has ‘equal chances’ with no colour temperaturewise, slightly above normal precip in the northern UK in […]
Sadly the concerns I raised last weekend into early this week have been confirmed. Serbia and Bosnia have experienced their worst flooding in 120 years with a women and firefighter drowning. Here was the scene in the devastated village of Topcic Polje near Zenica, 120 kms north of Sarajevo, following a major landslide following the heavy rainfall. Here’s a […]
As shown in today’s video. The ridge is establishing itself over the UK (initially), promoting temperatures into the low and mid 20s for SE England and the mainland coastal plain tomorrow and Saturday but in stark contrast and as pointed out here with a good 5 days now, flooding is grabbing the headlines over the Balkans.

The much advertised warmth is now pushing northward up the western flank of Europe and is sure to present most from Iberia to northern Scandinavia with the warmest temps of 2014 so far. In contrast to the warmth and sunshine Thursday through Saturday, a deepening cut off low diving towards the Balkans will bring a […]
As we head towards mid week we build heights throughout Western Europe and while we’re warming the mid levels, we shut down the shower and t-storm activity also. More sun, warmer 850mb temps means a widespread 20-25C from France to southern Sweden including the South and East UK. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The cooler air remains into Wednesday as pressure […]
The widespread early week shower and thunderstorm threat should give way to drier, sunnier and warmer conditions late this week over Western Europe as an Azores high pressure builds north. While the west heats up with ‘capping’, relaxing the atmosphere, low pressure will develop and push southeast over the continent bringing a potential flood threat to central and […]
