Rest of Europe
It’s been an unsettled but equally, warm day across many parts of the UK thanks to brightening skies and warm SSW winds in the upper levels. We managed to get 23C over Highland Scotland while it hit close to 27C at Gravesend, Kent this afternoon. As the low which produced the overnight and morning rain clears out, […]
As the NAO flips positive, so a trough deepens over the North Atlantic while ridging builds either side as a result but pesky unpredictable lows are making the 5-7 day forecast a headache. It’s be cool and unsettled across Western Europe and very cool over the Eastern United States over the past 7 days but warmth returns to […]
Much of summer 2013 has been dominated by a POSITIVE AO and NAO which presented a warm to hot July across Europe but this setup also produced a cold summer across the pole which explains why the sea ice is more extensive this year compared to last. These results will likely support a mixed autumn season with an increased chance of an early start to […]
The UK and Ireland prepares to be impacted by a rather deep Atlantic low with pressure projected to drop into the 980-984mb range and with tightly packed isobars, expect blustery conditions everywhere, particularly around the coasts where we could see gale-force conditions. By Sunday this low pushes into Scandinavia bringing wet, windy conditions down through Denmark and […]
The unsettled, highly Atlantic influenced pattern continues across Western Europe and this cooling influence with frequent fronts is gradually erasing the major heat that’s baked Europe over recent weeks. The jet is flattening out and so rain bearing frontal systems are now pushing maritime air all the way towards eastern areas. The focus of heat […]
We are now in a very different type of pattern compared to what we were last month and the change as alluded to and expected since way back in mid-July was due to the sharp rise in water temperatures surrounding the UK along with the progression of the season and the cooling which was taking place up at 500mb just […]
It’s been a much more classic summer pattern across Western Europe over the last 10-15 days while the very air mass which baked us back in July sizzles central and eastern Europe. Much of the Med up into the Alpine region has seen blistering highs of 35-40C with an all-time high of 40.1C in Austria. The front […]
It’s back to normality over much of Western Europe after the UK endured it’s third warmest July on record. Cooler westerly winds are back in control but all the heat which baked western areas last month hasn’t disappeared but simply shifted east and the heat is ON big-time across the Mediterranean basin as well as central areas of […]
The widespread UK rains of today are finally clearing out into the North Sea this evening en-route towards Denmark and Scandinavia where a wet few days are ahead. The UK will enter into a more sunshine and showers regime over the next few days while out across Central Europe down into the Mediterranean, heat is […]
Looking across the continent at the moment we have a rather unsettled theme going with a hosepipe of moisture set to spread northeast from the Azores up through the UK today and into tomorrow. Further east and the heat has been removed from France, the Low Countries up into Denmark and western parts of Scandinavia, however, while not […]
