Rest of Europe
An interesting weekend in what’s been an interesting and devastating week of weather for the central Med and particularly Greece and Balkan region. A full fledged medicane with warm core, clear eye is set to make landfall in southern Greece later Saturday packing sustained winds of around 60 mph with higher gusts. This system is already responsible for […]
I guess you could say I’ve got Friday frustration as you’ll be aware if you watched the video from earlier. It’s dark and wet here in Ft William just now and I guess this sums up how I feel when it comes to computer forecast models. It seems for the last 5 years we time […]
Torrential rains associated with a cut off low over the central Med Sea has produced devastating flash floods to parts of Greece and with this very feature expected to become a warm core medicane in the same area late this week, more devastating floods is expected. The setup is such that a low to mid level cut off low is strengthening […]
No it’s not something from the chemist but a consolidating storm system which forms over the Mediterranean and takes on some tropical characteristics including a warm core and a clear eye. The last medicane we had was back last Halloween. The models have showed a medicane forming late this week for some time. Small chance […]
As the next frontal system pushed into the cold air, parts of lower elevation Highland Scotland woke to the first blanket of fresh snow. The first appreciable snow fell in places such as Aviemore.

Simon Cardy today shared the latest run of the MO model for mean sea level pressure January through March and it screams a mild, Atlantic driven winter with stronger than normal Azores high and Icelandic low which would strengthen a predominantly zonal jet stream into the UK and W Europe. 500mb anomaly and 2 metre temp also mirrors the […]
It’s been a fairly grey, damp sort of day across the southern half of Ireland and the UK albeit mild. Tonight sees a more substantial area of rain spreading across the southern UK and this is the remains of once tropical storm Rina. Further north and the northerly flow continued to support sun and showers. It’s […]
With an easterly QBO and consistent day by day model support, it’s looking increasingly likely that a -NAO with classic Greenland block shall setup later next week on into the following week bringing a cold final 10 days to November here in Western Europe as well as the Eastern US/Canada. This is just PERFECT, let’s hope it […]
ARTICLE FROM SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN A new effort aims to recover meteorology data collected by a group of hardy Victorian Scottish scientists By Andrea Thompson on November 7, 2017 On the evening of February 21, 1885, two Scottish meteorologists living atop Ben Nevis—the highest peak in the U.K. at some 4,400 feet—attempted to make their appointed hourly measurements. But […]
It’s a firmly ‘no two days are the same’ weather pattern. We still hold onto the Atlantic pattern hence the highly changeable night of the weather but colder air is now involved unlike last month. One night features mild, wet and windy, the next it’s clear, cold and frosty like this morning. https://twitter.com/metoffice/status/928162499647754240 Last night […]
