Rest of Europe
Thought I would take a closer look at the timing of the cold front on this Sunday morning with a look at the latest run of the GFS. What’s interesting to me is the fact that it would appear EASTERN Ireland and the Repubic as well as central and eastern Scotland should enjoy more warmth and sunshine even on Tuesday and not […]
The heat is on from Monday through Wednesday next week as an upper level and surface ridge drives the Iberian heat pump all the way up into southern Norway, Sweden and Finland next week.Right now, the headache with next week’s forecast is the timing of an approaching cold front, however as it approaches from the west, rather than spoling the show, […]
Modeling is becoming adament about next week’s warm surge and I am feeling more confident this evening that while we’ve seen highs reach 23C in the UK so far, next week should push the 25C mark with Scotland, Denmark and even southern Scandinavia joining the 21C club for the first time this year. Like here in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Rebublic.. […]
Improving Weather Into Next Week, First Taste Of Summer For Scotland, Scandinavia? (Includes Video!)
The remainder of this week will stay on the chilly side with snow even to low levels across parts of Northern Scotland and the Northern Isles. Of course we have the news grabbing snow across many parts of Spain also. For the UK, there is no real warmth through the rest of this week despite plenty of mid week sunshine before another […]
For much of the past week, I’ve showed you the much cooler and very unsettled weather heading for Spain and Portugal while major heat builds from Italy to western Russia and the jet stream takes a major buckle once again. Last night’s post was dedicated to the very cool and unsettled weather over the Southwest […]
While the cool, northwest flow, sunshine and April showers dominate the UK and Ireland through next week, areas of surface low pressure are forming south of a trough dropping down over the UK and Ireland. These surface cut offs, divorced from the main upper flow (jet stream) can plague regions for many days,l even a week or more because […]
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts because we’re about to return to a March-like chill as we head towards the weekend. The NAO has now ‘peaked’ and is now heading back towards a negative signal, promising a chilly first half to May for the UK, Ireland and western Europe while ridging will bring a nice warm-up over […]
Following a major late winter storm which dumped 17.2 inches of snow in Duluth and as much as 22 inches in other parts of Northern Minnesota, Saturday dawned record cold beneath clear skies, light winds, fresh snow cover and arctic air in place.Temperatures Saturday morning plummeted to -14F at Embarrass in the Minnesota Arrowhead region (NE corner) […]
Thought it would be a good time to look at the global SST’s and tie in some interesting anomalies which have appeared during the cold second half to winter across the Northern Hemisphere and also look at the deep tropics and potentials with the upcoming Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season. Firstly, here’s the current global SST’s as […]
We all know this cold pattern can’t last forever but the big question has been for a while now, when will this all end. Since Mid-March it was clear the pattern would persist into April and now that we’re into April, I have been hinting at a mid-month turnaround with a potentially warmer than normal […]
