Rest of Europe
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 […]

GFS brings rain and unsettled weather back into UK by as early as Thursday while the more reliable ECMWF keeps things settled through the weekend.
It’s all thanks to a large upper low diving south into Iberia which will be responsible for bringing the first hot surge into the Northern European Coastal Plain or Lowlands. However, the combination of hot, very humid air and a warm front associated with the southward departing low will create a highly unstable atmosphere and likely to spark powerful thunderstorms […]
It’s long been known than an increase in high latitude volcanic activity has been linked to an increase in winter blocking and colder winters in the mid-latitude world. We saw an increase in volcanic activity prior to the bitter cold winter of 2009-10 which shivered much of the Northern world including the United States and Great Britain. We are currently and have for […]
The week ahead looks rather different to this past week with a lot of heat spreading north into Europe from Africa. While it looks highly likely we’ll see the first 37C (100F) readings over parts of France and Germany, there’s a lot of uncertainty over exactly how far west that Saharan heat will spread due to the position and […]
