Rest of Europe
Well both GFS and ECMWF unsurprisingly have turned warmer for next week with the cold and trough shifting east as the NAO/AO look set to bounce back in a positive direction. This week was never going to hold. We turn windy tomorrow as a deep low slides over top of Scotland’s north coast before dropping south […]
A frontal system is progressing south over the UK, pushing out the mild and pulling in the coldest air mass of the season so far. Scotland turned very bright and sunny this afternoon as cold air flows south. Here’s a late afternoon view from space showing the cold NW flow progressing south over Scotland, blowing in from a […]
Today a frontal system will bring rain to parts of Ireland, England, Wales and Southwest Scotland but it’s another front edging into NW Scotland which is the door to the coldest air of the season. As high pressure builds north over the Atlantic, so that front will push south during tomorrow, pulling the first arctic […]
Make the most of this weekend’s push of milder air from the southwest ahead of the front because temperatures will crash from 11 or 12C over Scotland down to just 2 or 3C by Wednesday as the first blast from the arctic drops south. Take a look at the GFS projected temperatures mid afternoon Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and look […]

Modelling has been consistent at building high pressure northwards east and west of the UK which will turn winds due north. First of all we must contend with a rather windy spell over the next 36 to 48 hours as another Icelandic […]
The mild air currently northeast from the Azores across Ireland and the UK will be quickly followed by chilly air from Iceland by Wednesday as a series of lows swing into Iceland. We have one deep low impacting Iceland at the moment and another impacts Wednesday. That storm system is expected to bring a band of rain along with gale-force […]
Tonight will easily be the coldest thus far across a wide swath of the UK thanks to clear skies, light winds and a chilly air mass which originated in Iceland just two days ago. Expect overnight lows to widely drop to between -1 in the North of Ireland, Scotland and Northern England and +4C in the South within major […]
It’s been a cold autumn across Iceland with many snowfalls and blasts of bitterly cold air from nearby Greenland. Iceland can endure truly arctic conditions while they can also receive mild and stormy conditions just like we get here in the UK, depending upon the pattern. Right now they are enduring arctic conditions. There is an expansive snowpack over the Central Highland region […]
