Rest of Europe
A lot can be said for the bitter cold shivering North America while Britain suffers it’s worst spell of storminess since the 1800s, is there a link? Yes. Blame the vast thermal gradient over North America for sending a 190-230 mph jet stream across the Atlantic and with a ridge bringing mild to much of […]
The latest Atlantic low brought a fresh wave of trouble with yet more damaging winds, flooding rains, hail as well as thunder and lightning. Unfortunately this system as it pushed in from the southwest, drove a tidal storm surge which flooded many promenade’s from Devon to Ayrshire. Here’s a stunning high res satellite image captured by […]
We have endured one heck of a battering over the past 3-5 weeks with simply one storm after another and now, the land is struggling to cope with the amount of water. Unfortunately more nasty weather is looming night, tomorrow and through the weekend with more deep, sprawling lows sweeping more flooding rains and gales […]
It may seen like a long time coming but right on schedule, the operational models are now picking up on what the CFSv2 has shown since before Christmas, a Greenland to Scandinavia block by the end of day 10 or around Jan 10th. This would coincide nicely with the 10mb strat warming over Asia and the stretching and […]
Christmas Eve was a wet and rather stormy affair and now, for some, New Year is too with significant flooding in between. This pattern is so strong, it will take longer than expected to break down but I remain optimistic that we will get out of this as we start to reverse the height field […]
In the last couple of days I’ve shown examples of where I’m getting the cold January idea for Western Europe and how it appears to be going to my long term mid winter forecast, first issued back in late summer but I want to take it further. The examples where first given in Friday’s written post […]
The latest storm hit overnight packing wind gusts of 137 mph over Highland Scotland, 113 mph over the Cumbrian Fells and 109 mph along the Welsh coast while pressure fell to 944mb here at my house. Rather impressive. This latest system is adding nothing but more misery to an already bad situation. The second sub-945mb […]
Yet another intense low sweeps into Ireland and the UK from the southwest later today and is set to bring yet more flooding and wind damage. The good news is, this should be the last of the VERY deep lows. The concern spots for wind damage look to be focused over Ireland, Wales and Northwest […]
The next deep low sweeps in hot on the heels of the Christmas Eve system late Thursday into Friday with pressure expected to drop into the low 940s (mb). Current track, wind projections suggest that this could have significant impacts and across a broader area of the UK with the centre sweeping across Ireland into central and […]
The storm that continues to intensity on approach to the NW UK, could end up in the top 10 list of strongest North Atlantic storms on record with pressure rapidly falling at an astonishing rate of 2-4mb per hour. This storm system is so gigantic, that while it poured over many parts of the UK […]
