Rest of Europe
Yesterday saw the stormy, wicked side of Gertrude and today sees the wintry side as colder air flows across the Northern UK in it’s wake. Today will remain very windy, cold and snowy at times with frequent gusty showers rattling through. Earlier radar. Many including myself woke up to a fresh covering of snow this morning. […]
As predicted and highlighted here back at the start of the week, Scotland is getting hammered today by the strongest system yet with widespread gusts to 70 mph but we’ve even seen exposed low elevation areas such as South Uist Range and Forth Road Bridge record gusts over 90 mph. Stunning visible satellite view of the storm […]
Just when you thought we couldn’t get any more rain and flooding as well as strong wind. In all honesty the next 3-4 day stretch looks to be the stormiest of winter with a tremendously turbulent spell of weather gathering out over the Atlantic. WARNING ISSUED FOR SEVERE GALES, FLOODING RAIN, SNOW AND ICE There’s a large temperature […]
We continue with the wet and windy theme as we open Wednesday but when taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, there’s some real signs of change as we enter winter’s final month. Back to the here and now and blustery showers across Scotland will turn to snow this morning into afternoon […]
This is rather late and brief I know. Been on the road since 5.15 this morning and not had much time today. Weather is grabbing the headlines today as the 1st of 3 major lows impact us this week. I’m currently up in Dundee and boy isn’t it blustery out there. Winds have blown over two lorries […]
What do you prefer, cold and snowy for many of us enjoyed last weekend or warm and wet like this past weekend? We’re back to the more active Atlantic pattern again but before I get into the upcoming week, I want to glance back at yesterday. Temperatures last weekend failed to get above freezing in […]
Well the pattern thankfully took a turn in January following an unprecedented, highly El Nino induced warm and wet November-December. The large-scale flip came at the close of December as a storm injected warm air into the arctic which distorted the strong cold circulation and flipped both Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillations negative. In fact it’s said that we had the […]
Due to the major Northeast US snowstorm I have changed the posting schedule today as you’ll have noticed. Europe video and write-up is usually before the US. Our pattern has turned fairly monotonous once again. Back in that wet, windy and unsettled regime. The system causing all the havoc on the other side of the […]
We’re back in the wet, windy, warmer regime with high pressure dominating the mid-latitudes while heights have lowered across the Arctic though not to the same degree as before. The removal of the blocking high, the jet has flattened and strengthened and that means the westerlies are back with frequent spells of wind, rain throughout Western Europe along […]
As of 11.30am the rain has become steady here in Cumbernauld as the first of many fronts push west to east across the UK. It’s a cold rain today following a frosty start but it’s on the backside of the front where southerly winds increase and therefore warmer air takes over once again. We’re back in the […]
