Rest of Europe
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 […]
Yesterday saw temperatures climb to 34.1C (93F) at Heathrow Airport to the west of London which not only made for the hottest day in the UK this year but the hottest August day in a decade. Not everywhere enjoyed hot sunshine of course as a frontal boundary kept conditions unsettled across Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Today […]
As the warm front continues to lift north over the UK this evening bringing a thorough soaking to Northern England, Scotland and Ireland, the warm and humid air continues to gain ground over England and Wales, setting the stage for a downright hot day tomorrow. That very warm front will keep Ireland, Northern Ireland and […]
Despite a lot of hot air pushing north over the western side of the continent the next 5 days, it remains very unsettled over Britain and Ireland. In the last 48 to 72 hours, a strong cold front has swept east across France, the Low Countries and into Germany as cooler maritime air slams up against a wall of heat over […]
We remain in a very active weather pattern across the UK and Ireland while it’s hot and sunny across much of Europe. Atlantic lows are riding the rim of the hot dome currently centred over central Europe. The UK and Ireland remains beneath the summer storm track and we will remain beneath the active corridor this upcoming week […]
The squeeze play between low pressure to our west and high pressure to our east continues. Embedded lows look set to bring us a series of pulses containing heavy rain and thunderstorms. The warm, juicy source crossing warmer than normal waters means the torrential downpour and flood risk remains high throughout the UK and Ireland. This very setup was highlighted throughout July […]
