Rest of Europe
A wild situation is evolving right now between Greenland and Scotland with winds now increasing here and are set to blow an all-out and ‘biting’, NW gale overnight into tomorrow. An elongated or stretched out 1034-1036mb high extending from Iberia to near North America, with a deep low centred near Iceland, not only stretches out the pressure field but tightens it. This means a gale with hurricane-force […]
I often show you the NAO and AO status, the daily model runs and every so often the stratospheric temps but now and again I try to show you something a little different. For about 10-14 days now I have given my own personal reasoning and showed you evidence to support my belief that we have plenty […]
A somewhat unimpressive system which brought a few inches of snow to the US Mid-Atlantic and ice to parts of the South is now pushing out into the North Atlantic like most do but what the models are picking up on is what is capturing the attention of the meteorological community. The models for days now have shown this low ‘bombing out’ […]
While it got down to -13.4C over Norfolk last week, the low dropped to -12.2C this morning in Cambridge and these values may not be the lowest we see before all this is said and down. Anytime you get clearing skies, along with light winds over a snow pack, the temperature falls towards and below -10C with ease […]
Old man winter is biting Europe hard these days with the coldest air of the season sweeping east to west across the continent and while much of the UK escaped last winter, we haven’t been quite so lucky this year as moisture laden Atlantic systems clash with cold, Siberian air which has got as far as Ireland […]
While many of you living particularly in the Northeast have been asking, where’s winter? Your about to get it. The next 5 days promises not only the coldest weather in a few years from the Upper Midwest to Mid-Atlantic but snow will also be thrown in for good measure. More arctic shots will follow this week’s […]
The cold is still on track for Europe with a ‘cooling trend’ over the next 8 days but the following 8 continues to show very cold or even brutal for some parts. I still believe that a much colder regime is coming to the UK as the AO tanks and more importantly (for UK) the NAO goes negative […]
I’ve showed you the evolution of the colder pattern. Now check out the GFS snow charts. If this is right then plenty should at least see it snow, if not whiten the landscape this weekend. The cold air will keep any snow on the ground through next week. Next week sure will be interesting.. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] […]
Well well well, as I expected and hoped, the GFS is now seeing the cold not just for Europe but for the UK too in the 8-16 day. The front running 8, while staying mild, should begin cooling and later next week we should start to loose this warmth. Eastern Europe will turn significantly colder within the next 5-7 […]
When the North Atlantic Oscillation is negative, Greenland is mild with an upper level ridge of high pressure overhead. Temperatures are often at or above -18C or 0F, which is warm compared to normal here during winter. This pattern tends to promote colder weather for eastern North America and western Europe, but when there is a positive NAO, it’s the […]
