Rest of Europe
While wintry showers rattled in on a stinging, gale-force west wind across Scotland while temps soared to 16.8C in central London, Friday. That was the warmest day of 2014 in the UK. Yesterday was much milder across Scotland. Thanks to the approach of a front associated with a sub-955mb low near Iceland, accelerating SSW winds and sunny skies may […]
The general theme in the next 7 days is for high pressure to become established over Western Europe. Something not seen since really the end of last summer. High pressure already dominates much of Europe with SE England now feeling the effects. The frontal boundary separating low pressure over the Atlantic and high pressure Germany is weakening as it sinks […]
Not surprisingly, all the stormy weather we’ve endured over the last 3 months has meant that we’ve endured the ‘windiest’ winter (Dec-Feb) [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] As for the global temperature anomaly for February, the US is coldest while Europe is warmest but notice the warmest values are over eastern Europe. A large chunk of Asia has […]
Before we get to the high pressure and milder weather set to dominate our region this upcoming weekend, this was the scene at the Nevis Range in the Scottish Highlands this past weekend (below). Yes, just another huge dump of snow which forces resort crews to dig chair lifts out. WHAT A SEASON despite the UK […]
I have good news for the storm weary! Models continue to turn towards a warmer and drier solution later this upcoming week into next weekend. This may be a trend rather than blip and thus we may well be turning towards a drier and warmer pattern. Hopefully! [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] First we must get through another 3 […]
Meteorological winter 2013-14 draws to a close tomorrow and it ends as the UK’s wettest in 250 years, 7th warmest and warmest since 2007. Thank in part, the brutal US winter and for them, they have endured one of the coldest winter’s on record. Here’s the official rainfall anomaly chart for this winter from the […]
Just when you thought winter was a no show this year, the models bring hope… It may well warm the hearts of southern UK, E, SE Ireland snow lovers late this week as a low slides in from the WSW and is likely to bring snow, yes snow! Woohoo! [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] I was eyeing this particular […]
It’s been a long, stormy winter with a hyper active Atlantic storm train which doesn’t appear to be tiring any time soon. There are striking similarities appearing between this year and 1994 when the US was also cold while the UK was stormy. Like this year, it was a bumper ski season in the Scottish Highlands. Unfortunately the latest run of the ECMWF suggests […]
As highlighted over the last few days, we have a pretty wet upcoming 48 to 72 hour period as a corridor of heavy precipitation with sub-tropical origin funnels it’s way NE across Ireland and Scotland. The below visible satellite image shows the mass of cloud creeping towards us. That’s likely to drop 1-2, maybe 3 inches of […]
