Rest of Europe
It’s a new week and another week down on what has been a rather disappointing winter for us here in the British Isles, Ireland and for much of Europe. The good news for our neighbours across the North Sea, it appears winter is coming and it’s already arrived across Scandinavia and Russia. The winter as a whole hasn’t really […]
As shown back on Thursday’s post, Ireland, the UK and western flank of mainland Europe stays on the unsettled side of things through next week with low pressure always close by if not overhead. Low pressure will keep the moisture on tap, accompanied by a breeze but with the jet predominantly to the south, it shall remain a […]
Looks like things may be changing with the type of warming and shift going on up in the stratosphere. The relaxation of the Atlantic jet and the position linking of not only the N Greenland-Scandinavian high but the high building over the central Atlantic. See today Europe video for details! [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Up till now the […]
The predominant westerly air flow shall continue into the first half of next week for Western Europe but it should turn noticeably colder as arctic air returns to the United States, feeding the trans-Atlantic flow. We have a long wave (full latitude) trough linking North America with Europe at the moment and with the UK above or on the […]
While the models showed cold for this week and that ended up a bust, I will remain ‘cautious’ with the upcoming 7-10 day, though I have given plenty of backup as to why a colder trend is very plausible. As stated countless times already, it’s a matter of when, not if, that we go into […]
Well it certainly doesn’t appear that cold will make it to the western flank of Europe (south of Scand) this week as Atlantic low pressure appears too dominant. I know back last week and up till Saturday, I believed the models would flip back to what they had originally with cold making it to Ireland but […]
The very air mass which dove south into the United States from the wastes of the arctic last weekend into early week, has crossed the North Atlantic and brought snow, freezing rain and ice to parts of Scotland this morning in it’s far weakened state. A direct discharge of intense Siberian/Arctic air crossed the pole and […]
It’s been a seemingly endless road of storminess for Ireland and the UK over the last 5 weeks with one flood alert and warning after another but that cycle is coming to an end and a lot of that is thanks to a shift in the upper height field and position of the cold on the other side […]
Well it’s looking more or less a lock now that winter will finally come to the UK next week! Without any stubborn ridge near the Azores, there’s nothing to stop a cold easterly flow from reaching the UK and N Atlantic ridging, as anticipated, appears to stay far enough to our west, meaning the cold reaches the UK. On […]
The most recent monster Atlantic storm has been responsible for causing a lot of damage to coastal Ireland and the UK with it’s massive swells caused by long fetch WSW gales which have ‘built up’ the spell as it approached shores. Huge waves slamming sea waves have been known to kick up spray towering over 100 feet. […]
