Rest of Europe
Well we appear to be on our way to normality with the first trough driving colder air south in the Wednesday through Friday period. This shot of chill is by no means out of the ordinary but it will ‘feel’ cold given the out of the ordinary warmth we’ve had of late. How warm has it been? […]
For those living here on the western side of Europe you may be asking where the heck is autumn or the cooler weather you would expect at this time of year, well you only have to look at the other side of the continent where it’s looking and feeling more like early winter rather than early […]
While we have very much a west-east split in the temperature profile across Europe right now with temperatures still at 17 or 18C over parts of England despite it being dark, temperatures in Moscow are now dropping below freezing for the first time this autumn. In the last 2-4 days, warm, moist southerly winds have driven […]
The unusually cold air predicted to sweep into eastern Europe as the UK ridge builds northeast into Scandinavia is doing so and we’re already seeing rather winter-like conditions with cold and SNOW across portions of Romania. This push of unseasonable cold will continue through the rest of the week. Here was a picture sent to me […]
The pattern is slowly changing over Europe as the upper low which brought Scandinavia it’s first taste of winter exits allowing the UK ridge to finally start shifting northeast, centring itself over Scandinavia. By doing so, it allows the sprawling and rather strong low SW of the UK to lift northeast replacing high pressure with low pressure and […]
We remain in a rather amplified or ‘blocky’ pattern right now across Europe with two main drivers controlling the movement of air around the continent. Through the second half of this past week, TWO upper lows have played a key role with one to the SW of the UK and the other slowly drifting east across Scandinavia. […]
The cold is well and truly in place across Scandinavia but while it eases in coming days across the North of the continent as ridging builds in, setting up a classic ‘Scandi block’, even colder air looks set to get drafted in from Asia into western Russia and perhaps into the Ukraine and SE Europe […]
There is a large temperature spread across Europe these days with a highly amplified pattern bringing unusual late season warmth to Iberia with highs reaching the low 30s across northern parts of Spain but in stark contrast we’re seeing the first snows fall across Scandinavia as well as in cities such as Helsinki, Riga, Tallinn […]
While the pattern remains quite benign I thought I would post a little on the pattern over the next few weeks and basically through the first half of October. Firstly here is the NAO and AO indexes and it’s clear to see where they are at right now. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] As your well aware, I […]
Through at least the first half of this week, the majority of the UK will be dealing with a mixture of low cloud, mist, fog, drizzle and for a select few, some sunshine. Everywhere except the far north of Scotland is in a warm, sub-tropical air mass and with it stemming from a maritime source […]
