Rest of Europe

We have a rather unsettled week of weather with the Atlantic door wide open as the upper pattern flattens allowing the free flow of low pressure to sweep across the UK into mainland Europe. This pattern is quite different to the last 2 weeks as high pressure is strong further south and that means more […]

From the foggy morning and wet afternoon here in central Scotland and frost in parts of Spain to the deadly flash flooding that hit La Merche, central Italy in the last 36 hours. Our overall pattern looks more unsettled through the upcoming 7 days and rather unclear in the 7-14 day period.

Tomorrow morning’s unusually cold start will be followed by a pleasant and mild day as ridging builds into Ireland and the UK with chilly NNE shifting to a much warmer SW direction. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The cold trough currently overhead, supporting -5C 850mb temps will slide into central Europe while a cut off low continues to bring, wet, windy and unseasonably cool conditions […]

While cold air has begun it’s southward journey over the UK and Western Europe, warmer, brighter conditions are set to return immediately after. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The much anticipated chill is now pressing south along with a chilly high which will present a very cold start to the bank holiday weekend. In saying that, as the cold drives […]

Apologies for the very late post. My internet keeps going down but appears to be up at the moment. Will make this brief as I don’t know how long this will hold. As of this writing, we have plenty of wet, windy conditions affecting the UK with low pressure to our west drawing energy north. […]

The UK, Ireland and indeed much of Europe is currently enjoying a mild air mass with highs well into the 15-20C range widely. Temps have climbed to 22C this afternoon in the Scottish Highlands, making for the warmest day of 2014 UK-wide. However, significant change looms for the second half of this week. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Here’s a glance […]

It was a rather unsettled weekend across a large swath of Europe thanks largely to the sub-980mb low skirting southern Ireland and Britain. This low eventually fades as it slowly drifts south and east into the mainland continent. Cold, arctic origin air will slowly filter southward late this upcoming week, potentially bringing high elevation snow and […]

Low pressure dominates the UK pattern tonight through Sunday with a weakening phase through the second half. This low will bring not only the first gales in weeks to southern Ireland and the UK but since we’re now into late April, warm air pushing north with pulses of precipitation will trigger embedded thunderstorms. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] […]

We have a spell of more unsettled weather advancing from the southwest late week into the weekend. A fairly deep low will present rather wet and windy conditions to particularly southwestern parts of the UK and Ireland. Gales or even severe gales are expected to affect coastal areas while it will be windy widely. [s2If […]
