Rest of Europe
Change is in the wind as we progress from winter and edge ever closer to summer 2016. I doubt the second half of spring 2016 (April-May) will be anywhere near as soggy as last year given the El Nino is weakening, not strengthening. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] We’re seeing the other side to this El Nino now with a drier, […]
Well my friend Petr and I took off early once again Thursday morning (March 10th) for a trip up to Glencoe. It was a very different morning to back in February when we went from pouring rain in Cumbernauld to snowy conditions over Drumochter to white out conditions on Bynack More. Thanks to high pressure, this […]
It’s an improving picture over the UK with today’s rain largely confined to NW Scotland tomorrow. It’s predominantly dry and bright for most, however the coolest air will be over London and the Southeast while the mildest air will be across Scotland thanks to high pressure centred north of Scotland which means cool easterly winds are pegging back […]
Following the patchy light rains of today and across the Northwest tomorrow, high pressure is building and becomes well established over the British Isles early next week. This blocking high positioned across the UK and really extending all the way to Siberia is splitting the east bound trans-Atlantic jet, forcing one branch north into Norway and the other south into […]
It’s been quite a different morning compared to yesterday across particularly the South of England. Clear sky and light wind started the day yesterday with Benson, Oxfordshire shivering at -7.1C. This morning, thanks to a deep low skirting the South Coast bringing coastal gales, heavy rain as well as some hill snow, it’s +7.7C at Benson. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Yesterday morning. This […]
Hope you enjoyed the crisp tranquillity of recent days over the UK because we have strong system heading southern UK/northern France bound tonight into tomorrow. This heralds change into the weekend and next week. For a while now, we’ve experienced colder air with frequent northerly flow. That however changes follow a spell of stormy weather tonight and […]
It’s classic March! The weekend just gone was a chilly one with snow showers, supressed daytime temps and icy NNE breeze coupled with cold, frosty nights. By this upcoming weekend, expect it to be near opposite with a taste of spring on the way. The ridge intensifies further into early next week and this could […]
Many across the central swathe of Ireland, England and Wales are waking to snow this morning. Thanks to an injection of polar air being drawn in and wrapped around the centre of a low over the UK. Snow depth forecast from yesterday. Nice scene from Dublin this morning. Near whiteout over Saddleworth Moor in the South Pennines. Loveclough Rossendale, […]
When cold meets warm you gets storms and extremes. There’s been a lot of extreme weather affecting Europe over the past week with arctic air diving south over the Western side of the continent while it’s been like summer in Greece and Turkey. A storm crossing Iberia producing hurricane-force wind, heavy rain and disruptive snow along […]
