Rest of Europe
I saw this on AccuWeather and thought I should post on this for you to see. This amazing ‘sandstorm’ which was probably a nightmare if you were on the beach here was created by what appeared to be a thunderstorm offshore of Barcelona. According to AccuWeather, winds started out from a southwesterly direction with gusts of 17 mph before turning […]
The europe pattern at the moment consists of a western trough and an eastern ridge with a constant southwesdt flow pumping Saharan air northeast across the central and eastern Med andsoutheast Europe. There will be little change in this setup over next 7 days however while the trough intensifies in the west, the ridge will begin drawing super hot air from off […]
For those living in the eastern third of the country, this weekend is all about the return of heat following a chilly past week. In a sense, one can thank the latest storm system punching into the Pacific Northwest as this is helping push and expand the ridge east. As this system carves out a new trough […]
Tonight’s ECMWF has an exploding 592-600dc ridge expanding from the Sahara north over the Mediterranean encompassing Greece, the Balkans and Turkey. Even island resorts such as Sicily, Crete, Malta and the Greek Islands look to soar well beyond 100F from Tuesday onwards and I can only imagine what kinda temperatures we may see extend into interior Greece and especially Turkey.

Since the weekend I’ve been keeping an eye on the model predictions for the Mediterranean basin into next week as the ECMWF continues to show intensifying pressure with thickness values soaring to well beyond 588dc across a broad area encompassing the central and eastern basin. With these values, this would support intense heat which the models have expanding north through Greece, the […]
Don’t see much change in the overall setup across Europe through at least the first 16 days of the month with a negative NAO. It looks to remain cool with frequent fronts sweeping through along with a constant northwest flow keeping Northwest Europe below normal. While we see a trough drapped over the west, this pumps an eastern ridge, […]
Good Afternoon! Hope your enjoying your long Jubilee weekend. While glancing at the models, we have little to shout about this next 10 days regarding warmth over Ireland, UK and NW Europe as a whole. It’s a different story in southern and eastern parts of the continent where temperatures are rising into the […]
JUNE COULD HAVE SIMILARITIES TO MAY WITH COOL, DAMP FIRST HALF, FOLLOWED BY A WARM SECOND HALF We’ve just came off a positive NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) which followed a cold first 18 days of May on the heels of a super wet April. By glancing at the chart on the left off Policlimate.com we […]
This 500mb height anomaly chart is one of many I will be looking and sharing with you (Courtesy of Penn-State E-wall In coming weeks and months I intend on studying and showing you more and more examples of the vast array of computer forecast models we have for short, medium and long range which we have at our fingertips each day.
