Rest of Europe
Following the passage of today’s cold front, temps dropped from a balmy 10-12C early this AM to a much fresher 6 or 7C this afternoon. If you live in higher parts of Wales and Scotland you may encounter snowfall this evening, driven in by a strong WSW wind.

Granted the pattern is not looking anywhere near as extreme as what we’ve seen in recent weeks, there is unfortunately NO END IN SIGHT to this Atlantic driven pattern over the West of Europe. Head across the mainland however and high pressure is building and locks set to provide a rather benign setup. It’s looking […]
Make the most of this week’s return to ‘normal unsettled’ and by that I mean Atlantic lows creep in from the west with pressure barely below 1000mb rather than a tightly wound wind machine with pressure into the depths of 940 to 950mb range. These weaker systems pile in less wind and moisture so hardest hit areas […]
Britain and Ireland has had a very testing week with today sealing the deal on a triple whammy punch from the Atlantic. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any wetter or stormier, it has. Man and structure is becoming tired from the constant, seemingly unprecedented, cruel hammering from the relentless Atlantic. Today, like every other day, […]
The latest in the LONG series of Atlantic storms really packed a punch today across Ireland and Southwest Britain. Here’s a look at the latest beast from space. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] 90-100 mph winds screamed over the southern Republic causing 260, 000 in the Cork area along to loose power while on the other side of […]
As expected, the much colder flow on the backside of this morning’s frontal system has lead to fairly widespread and low level snowfall across parts of Northern Ireland, Northern England and particularly Scotland. Bright, sunny skies followed this morning rain and snow but through the second half of the afternoon, the air turned colder and with […]
Some interest stats, charts have been released on twitter by meteorologist Simon Cardy (follow him @weather_king) on how mild the Europe winter has been. Yes, there’s no getting around the fact this winter has been mild when you look at this chart. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] A large part of the reason for this mild winter has been the incredible […]
A lot of attention has been on Ireland and the UK of late but the focus of bad weather in Europe last night into today is further south over Iberia. Those wishing for a little milder, more settled weather than over the UK and Ireland will be disappointed to find conditions strikingly similar. TOP IMAGE: Courtesy of magicseaweed.com [s2If […]
Back to back STORMY weekend’s for the UK! This was the breath taking satellite presentations we were treated to last weekend as wind, rain and snow hit the UK, just the latest in what has been a constant parade of unusually strong Atlantic depressions which have stun up over North America and crossed the Atlantic, […]
Throughout the course of today I have watched the visible satellite images come in with an increasingly spectacular depression forming off Ireland. This thing is poised to deepen into a 940 to 944mb monster. This is one of several this winter to have deepened below 950, literally unheard of in our lifetime and the hits […]
