Rest of Europe
This stormy pattern has been quite incredible with the latest 952mb system causing significant disruption and damage overnight across Devon, Cornwall and South Wales. 80+mph winds drove battering waves up against the fragile, venerable Cornish and Devonshire coasts causing sea walls and piers to collapse and railway lines to dangle over choppy seas. Here was the scene at Dawlish […]
As we gaze over the charts now through next week, there’s striking similarity every 3 to 4 days. It’s every 3 to 4 days that we see a system hit while another is born, one pushes out while another quickly fills the void. Blame the abnormally strong/persistent zonal jet stream crossing the Atlantic which has in part been fuelled […]
We’ve entered a more positive NAO phase rather than neutral and this means the jet is taking more of a dip out over the Atlantic and heights build over Europe, the North Atlantic trough has deepened and what we’re finding is a stuck pattern in which multiple low pressure systems form and spiral around a trough […]
As explained about 5 days ago that we need to pay attention to what’s coming in from the west rather than the east and sure enough, I looked out my window at 3.30 this morning only to find it was snowing. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The very system which formed along an arctic boundary over the US Gulf coast and […]
It has been an active weather pattern over Europe with major cold pushing into eastern and central areas. The collision of moisture streaming north from the Med and incoming cold over the Alps, major snowfall has been a result, especially over the Italian and Austrian Alps. While a mammoth high steers Siberian air across Russian […]
The relentless Atlantic storm train continues with another exceptionally deep low set to hammer Ireland and the UK Friday into Saturday. Models have pressure falling into the 946-948mb territory which is very low but by this winter’s standards, pretty typical. Today marks brief respite before the next round of pelting rain and concern over nearby […]
Much colder air now resides across eastern and central Europe with some of this bleeding west into the Low Countries and the UK in modified fashion. Highs in Moscow and Kiev are struggling to get much above -17 and -10C respectively while overnight lows are diving below -20C and while seasonably bitter in the north, […]
Here’s the GFS Northern Hemisphere temp anomalies for tomorrow. It’s clear to see where the major cold is right now. Though not extreme in the west, Europe is a good deal colder now than this time a month ago when it showed red over us! SEE TODAY’S VIDEO! [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] As your well aware, winds are beginning […]
We continue to watch the unfolding cool down this week that should present at least some with snow, especially eastern parts later Wednesday and Thursday. The trouble we have currently is the moisture rich west and east wind that has both Southwest and Northeast Britain nervous about additional flooding. Strong west winds are blowing across […]
Old man winter sure is catching up for lost time across Europe following a slow start to this winter. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] We’re in a very different setup now compared to just 2 weeks ago following the warm-up on the North American side of the hemisphere which allowed arctic-siberian air FINALLY into Europe. Ever since, it’s been gaining ground […]
