Rest of Europe
I can’t deny that yesterday’s snow forecast for overnight and this morning was a complete bust at low levels. There was nothing when I had thought there would be a lot. Certainly further north and higher roads further south didn’t escape. Snow disrupts flights at #Inverness Airport, travel on #A9 and #A82 and also shuts […]
It’s been another snowy night/morning across much of Scotland including the Central Belt thanks to hefty snow showers blowing in on a cold WNW wind. Milton of Campsie last night. Kilsyth around 5.45am this morning. Lengthy clear spells in between the showers mean icy conditions and a freeze of the snow on the ground with […]
It’s been a wintry week in the French capital with not one but two snowstorms inside a matter of days. The first system dropped 4.7 inches at the official Paris weather station Montsouris. This was the biggest snowfall since 8 December 2010 which also saw 4.7″. The last time Paris received a bigger accumulation than 2010 […]
Blog post by Stu Ostro Is the relatively recent attention warranted? Is this meteorological term becoming part of the vernacular a good thing or not? Is it always the culprit of frigid arctic outbreaks? For that matter, what the actual heck is the polar vortex? The answer? Like many things in our world, #ItsComplicated. The […]
The next Atlantic front is pushing across the UK over the next 24 hours and guess what, there’s polar maritime air in it’s wake so the 7-10C of today will be more like 2-7C tomorrow with any snow to all levels across Scotland. Note the difference in 850 temp between 12 noon today and tomorrow! […]
After what’s been a pretty mild season across Europe, winter weather continues to dominate much of Europe so far this February. That’s despite a +NAO. The GFS 850mb chart says it all, note the coverage of arctic air stretching from Russia all the way to Morocco. The biggest deal for the current cold isn’t so […]
Whether you love weather, cold weather or both, we all get excited at the thought of a sudden stratospheric warming event. No question it’s a truly spectacular event and awesome to watch on the many incredible graphics we have at our finger tips these days. While they only occur every so many years, there is […]
As we leave the weekend and enter a new working week, bitter cold shall spill out of Scandinavia drifting southwestwards across Germany, Low Countries, SE UK, France and Spain where snow and cold shall dominate. It’ll be cold across the rest of the UK too with widespread snow likely but the core of continental cold […]
Back at the beginning of last month we had a few folks screaming ‘beast from the east’ but without a cold source for that ENE to blow from, it’s nothing more than a cool easterly wind. However, the setup appears good for a true biting easterly to develop early next week as cold air builds […]
From Met Office 1 February 2018 Provisional statistics for January 2018 show it was slightly sunnier and colder than average in the north, but a somewhat different story for the south. The month got off to a wet and windy start when Storm Eleanor moved across the UK on 2 and 3 January, and this […]
