Rest of Europe
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 […]
As forecasted now for days, we have a large temperature spread setting up next week across Europe as ridging and warmth builds north from Iberia to the UK while arctic cold drops south over Scandinavia. Expect highs into the 21-27C range early next week over the UK while temperatures may struggle to get much above […]
The Europe pattern becomes highly amplified starting this weekend and as warmth lifts north a low over Iceland will slide east, riding the northerly periphery of the northern extending UK ridge. The thermal contrast will develop a storm system that will tap colder arctic origin air and pull it south across Scandinavia while warmth builds north over the UK. […]
While a lot of focus is now on the upcoming warmth which by the way could linger through the next 7-10 days, all indicators suggest colder times ahead with a significant change in the upper pattern across the northern hemisphere to end the month. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Both NAO/AO have been positive for a solid month […]
Humberto became the Atlantic Basin’s first hurricane and fell just 3 hours shy of setting the record for the latest hurricane on record. That same system is once again catching the attention of meteorologists here in the UK and it’s northward progression over the Atlantic later this week, will have significant influence this weekend into […]
