Rest of Europe
We’re in a stormy pattern these days with wild weather impact Northern Ireland and Scotland over the past weekend but the ECMWF is taking this current pattern even further, suggesting a potentially record breaking low right around Christmas. 960, even 950 isn’t out of the question but once you get into the 940s, well that’s […]
Hope you’ve managed to watch the video posted earlier which looks at the upcoming week with another system impacting mainly the North and Northwest of the UK today. The turbulent pattern extends not only into next week but Christmas week and beyond. Next system after today hits Wednesday and that could pack a punch, potentially across a […]
The much anticipated storminess is nearing with the first batch of gales or severe gales arriving across Northern Ireland and Scotland tomorrow but today will be no picnic as a spell of wet and windy weather crosses with rain turning to snow over the Highlands. We also loose the exceptionally mild air for a time […]
The pattern is poised to become more active late week for Western Europe with the Atlantic becoming much more turbulent once again. With the high over Europe shifting a little further east, so the door is open for frequent spells of wet and windy weather. Both NAO and AO support the return of an active Atlantic-Europe pattern through the […]
While high pressure dominates the UK and near continent this week with a stiff push of mild sub-tropical air, it appears the models shift towards more unsettled next week with some pretty intense lows showing up on the models. It’s still pretty far out yet in terms of accurately predicting intensity but when glancing at both […]
The cold air will continue to shift into eastern Europe this week as ridging builds into the west from the Atlantic. Snow and cold sinks deeper into southeastern parts tomorrow through Wednesday as the same storm which hammered the Northern UK spins over Russia to the NE of Moscow. That low will bring further snow to St Petersburg down into Moscow and Kiev and the stinging NNW flow […]
Following the destructive power of yesterday’s storm which not only brought hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, flooding, sleet and snow to the UK and western Europe but it also produced the most significant North Sea tidal storm surge for England since 1953 according to the Environment Agency. Parts of Europe was also hit very hard by the hurricane-like surge […]
As forecast, the much anticipated, rapidly intensifying storm which forecasters have been closely watching for days struck northern Britain early this morning. The storm which formed rapidly over the northeast Atlantic to the south of Iceland and close to Scotland was fuelled and energised by a large thermal gradient and supported from above by a mighty 160kt+ jet stream which a strong low […]
A rather innocuous ‘dent’ embedded within a brisk west upper flow is soon to take centre stage on our weather maps here in the UK and Western Europe over the next 72 hours. This mere dent is soon to become a major Atlantic depression with pressure expected to plunge some 20 to 40mb over a 12 to 24 hour period […]
