Rest of Europe
There’s no disputing the chill that’s coming down early next week. The question is how cold will it be and who and where will see snow, yes it’s that time of year again. What I will say is this, this is somewhat of a wake-up call following a tame autumn so far temperature wise. Next week’s […]
Confidence is high on Western Europe including Ireland and the UK turning considerably colder late this weekend into early next week. 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 […]
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 […]
