Rest of Europe
I thought it might be interesting to dig through some of the stats from back in January and February to see how they compare to this cold March so far over Europe and what I’ve found is quite incredible. Despite longer days, stronger sun and the fact it’s outwith meteorological winter, most European cities are seeing March as […]
As posted last night, the Easter snow chances have significantly diminished across the UK and indeed Ireland and it’s now looking like a cold but largely dry upcoming weekend. In saying that, snow showers can’t be ruled out but any significant ‘system snow’ is highly unlikely now as it stays well west and south as pressures will stay too […]
The Arctic Oscillation is entering the same negative territory as the record depths seen back in 2009-10 and both the UK and USA know what kinda winter that was. The persistence in negative since early February explain why we’ve seen a much colder and snowier second half to winter but it’s the sharp tanking which is […]
The above chart pretty much sums up our upper level height fields right now. This is keeping winter going this year and may produce one of our coldest Marches in 30 years for not only the UK but Europe. With an Atlantic cold front sweeping across the UK, temperatures hold up tonight but just above […]
In the wake of the crippling blizzard which stretched from Germany to the UK with most extreme impacts seen across Northern France, major cold set in over the freshly laid snowpack to produce a mid-winter level deep freeze. Beneath clear skies and light winds, temperatures plummeted to a record -12C or 9F overnight in Brussels, Belgium. According to FlandersNews.Be, this marks the […]
A massive late season snowstorm which hammered a region stretching from Germany through the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern France and Southeast England may go down in the history books as one of the worst in March as hundreds become stranded on the roads, rail and airports. Hundreds of thousands lost power in Northern France with Paris all but grinding to a […]
Harsh winter conditions are whipping across Germany, the Low Countries, Britain, France and Ireland with biting 40-50 mph winds blowing straight from the Scandinavian ice box. Along the boundary between mild and frigid, heavy snowfall is breaking out, bringing crippling snowfall to Germany yesterday and now bringing blizzard-like conditions today to Northern France where as […]
The stormy conditions currently battering the Canary Islands and extending east into Morrocco and through Iberia, will finally manage to swing an arm of unsettled weather north into the UK by Wednesday as a blocking high finally breaks down after bringing a largely dry weather pattern over the past 2 weeks. This has in fact been Britain’s longest sustained period of dry conditions since last March despite […]

Very briefly this morning I wanted to show you what the Jamstec long range model was showing for the upcoming spring (March through May) and the summer (June through August) was saying. If you’ve been reading in recent days I think you’ll have gathered that I’m clearly linking now the current ‘dry spell’ to a potential longer term […]
