With twin lows near Iberia and Ireland and a powerful upper level ridge over Europe, a steamy SE air flow means we’re drawing unusually warm air unusually far north by mid-September straight from the tropics. Temperatures will reach exceptional September levels across France into the southern, eastern British Isles. Hot today over France, tomorrow it’s England’s turn where 32C is possible. The record […]
As stated in the past week, we remain in a low pressure dominated pattern but the prevailing track (SSW) and position (generally SW of UK) continues to promote unusually warm, humid continental air in over the UK.

Hurricane Newton and the remnants of Hermine off New York are both pumping tropical warmth and energy northward. By doing so, the thermal gradient increases and so does the jet stream in response. As well as that, our warmer, more humid atmosphere south of the jet stream can also warm more than normal and so […]
It’s an understatement to say it’s hot in Spain these days with a powerful upper ridge providing cloudless skies and strong sinking while an air flow blowing off a still scalding Sahara, enhances an already hot air mass. Yesterday morning started off on a balmy note at 29C in Alajar. With blazing sunshine beating down, the southern interior climbed […]
With low pressure approaching from the SW and high pressure building over the continent it means we’ve increasingly humid air drifting in from the Atlantic merging with very warm air lifting from the continent.
