Rest of Europe
Remembrance Day weekend presents a little of everything across Ireland and the UK with likely the coldest night of autumn tomorrow night while this may be followed by the mildest weather in a good week to 10 days. Wind and rain in between. The persistent cold westerly air flow which has been feeding frequent, blustery showers in Scotland, Northwest […]
I’ve made mention many times that I don’t think our winter will hit proper till we get into December but I also made mention of the fact that we could turn colder for a time towards late November. I am closely watching the NAO/AO index and while their ‘hinting’ at another return to negative, which would be […]
The strong westerly flow looks to continue through the next 10 days at least. As Greenland becomes fiercely cold as you would expect at this time of year with a positive NAO, there will be cold shots for Ireland, the UK and the western mainland of Europe, particularly on the rear of low pressure systems. Ahead […]
By far the coldest air mass of the season has settled over Iceland in the wake of the low which blasted the UK this past weekend. Beneath clear skies, light winds and over snow covered ground, temperatures bottomed out at -20C at two central Highland locales and tonight, temperatures are once again sinking. Upptyppingar is already shivering […]
I thought I would join up both North America and Europe posts today and take a closer look at some aspects regarding the winter forecast and my long term ideas. When it comes to winter and looking at the big global drivers, there is often a strong teleconnection between North America and Western Europe and with the right setup, there can be […]
After a major European windstorm at the close of last weekend and the start of this week, we deal with yet another major Atlantic low which, like the previous, continues to deepen as it crosses the UK. Winds have been on the increase throughout today and by 3pm this afternoon gusts have been clocking 84 mph […]
Well it’s that time of year. Time for your Europe winter forecast 2013-14. Based on multiple factors below, I have concluded that the upcoming winter should be colder and snowier than normal in Western Europe and warmer, drier in the East.

Northwest Europe was slammed by one of the strongest windstorms in recent times with record gusts experienced in Denmark while media reports stated that the Netherlands had not seen a storm like it since 1976. While 99 mph gusts hit southern Britain along with flooding rains, we also saw other aspects to this storm. After slamming […]
As expected, the storm which was anticipated before even forming struck with quite the punch across southern Britain as well as the Netherlands, Denmark up into southern Norway and Sweden. The storm continued to gather strength as the centre pushed into the Bristol Channel overnight. Winds were widely clocked at between 60-80 mph right across the South […]
The much anticipated storm system is gathering steam and is set to strike southwest Britain through the overnight tonight. Exact details remain uncertain but what appears certain is that this storm is deepening quickly and will continue to intensify as it hits tonight. A still deepening storm as it makes landfall can be much more dangerous as ‘unexpected […]
