Rest of Europe
Wet today, Sat, Sun and Mon across many parts of the UK as Atlantic low pressure rules Latest GFS surface through the rest of this week and into early next week. GFS indicates the Icelandic low collapses but shifts to a position WNW of Portugal (similar to last week) and with a strengthening Iceland-Scandinavia blocking high, Atlantic fronts are likely […]
I’m taking to the hills this morning so no real written post but thought I’d throw up the CFSv2 weeklies for you. Cool next 5 days but notice it warms the UK week 2 but also turns wetter. Then drier week 3 Prepare for a pretty poor weekend! Quite week up here across Scotland tomorrow, […]
As highlighted in recent days, if you don’t like cool, cloudy, wet and windy, Southern and Eastern Spain is your best bet this weekend and through next week with the warmest weather of the year on the way. The last 10 days has seen a settled UK, unsettled Spain thanks to the weak Azores but strong […]
Hope you enjoyed the largely fine, dry and pleasant weekend of weather because it’s going downhill this week as the high deflates to the south opening the Atlantic up. If you happen to be heading south for an early holiday to Spain, Portugal or Western Med, the weather is finally settling down and warming up. […]
The feature image above shows the latest visible satellite image across the Atlantic. Note the large swirl of low pressure now exiting eastern Canada. That is our game changer next week. Before I get into next week, beneath clear skies, light wind and a cooler, drier air mass in place, temps widely dipped to freezing or […]
It’s interesting when looking at the latest long range model runs and the big differences in solution. Canadian and Met Office models are in the same ‘cooler, wetter’ camp which somewhat coincides with my summer forecast while the CFSv2 and Jamstec are both warm and dry. Canadian Met Office CFSv2 Jamstec See this morning’s video. Here’s what AccuWeather […]
It really has been a spectacular week of weather, particularly across Northern Ireland and Scotland, not so much further south across England and Wales. What a day to take a drive up the A9 to Inverness yesterday. Here are the views at Dalwhinnie that I captured. Dash read 24C. Yesterday’s highs. The Isle of Skye […]
A simple shift in the position of high pressure and wind shift means big changes coming late week as we loose the warm continental connection and draw in polar maritime air again. It was another glorious day up here across Scotland Tuesday but another dreary, soggy one further south. Visible satellite from yesterday shows a cloudless Scotland but […]
Thanks to cloudless skies and a stiff downslope ESE wind, Lusa, Isle of Skye was the place to be anywhere in the UK yesterday. The thermometer peaked at 26.7C which made for the warmest recorded temperature on the island in May and it was looking more like a Mediterranean island. As warm as yesterday or […]
BREAKING: 26.1C on the Isle of Skye makes today the warmest for ‘early May’ in 15 years for Scotland and warmest May day on record here! Castlederg, Northern Ireland has edged up to 24C, if it makes it to 25C, this would be the warmest for ‘early May’ since 1990! All four UK nations enjoyed their […]
