Rest of Europe
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 […]
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 […]
Well it would appear we may have a much anticipated hemisphere wide pressure shift on the way as modelling, the NAO/AO and stratospheric temps all showing colder times ahead. North America has taken the brunt of the mid-latitude cold over the past month with far less over Europe but that may be about to change […]
We are of course in a very active pattern right now over Western Europe with a storm producing powerhouse jet stream tearing across the Atlantic while high pressure remains in control over eastern Europe. That setup means the wave of lows will continue with the latest pushing through tonight. This pattern as explained in previous posts is […]
The Atlantic storm as expected, struck overnight packing damaging winds with gusts exceeding 100 mph as well as producing flooding rains, even snow. Throughout today, a secondary front with reinforcing cold air brought snow to reasonably low levels as far south as Wales and the Midlands and this will continue progressing south tonight. Much of Northern Ireland […]
We’re in the midst of a very active, even hyper active pattern over Western Europe these days with +NAO/AO which is supporting a N Atlantic trough/Europe ridge with huge temperature difference which is producing a 200+mph jet stream. The atmospheric environment is perfect for extremely deep low pressure development through Christmas. Unfortunately Ireland and the UK are bearing the […]
We have some serious 30-45, 000ft winds racing across the North Atlantic now and through the coming 10 days with an atmospheric environment that’s perfect for ‘exceptionally’ deep low pressure development. The region SW of Ireland is prime for development where a semi-permanent trough is positioned ahead of a Europe high. Air that’s accelerating as it drops into the trough, creates spin and […]
