Autumn 2016
After weeks of seemingly never ending summer, we have our first true refreshing air making it all the way to the Southeast thanks to a cut off upper low drifting down over the Ohio Valley eventually make it into the Southeast. This will make for the coolest air since May for many. The upper low cut […]
Not much snow to talk about through the next 10 days across Europe. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Super El Nino powered warmth typically takes time to weaken and shrink and so the warm open to meteorological autumn is likely to continue for much of North America and Europe. Both GFS ensemble and CFSv2 indicate the continuation of an unsettled […]
In July I summited Ben Macdui (2nd highest). In August, Ben Nevis (highest). Just two weeks after on August 30, 2016 I’m heading back up the A9 in the dark hours of night aiming to summit Britain’s 3rd, 4th and 5th highest, Braeriach, Cairn Toul and Sgor an Lochain Uaine respectively. With the ascent of Cairngorm on the same day of climbing […]
This is a very interesting pattern we’re in with a boiling Gulf and Atlantic, active tropics and increasingly favourable US pattern that could attract storms and or hurricanes to the coast. In the past week, waters in the Gulf and up the Atlantic seaboard have warmed and widely running 2-4F above normal. The pattern and warm water makes […]

The one factor I would say that isn’t so autumnal just yet is the temperature. The active storm track continues to favour warmer than normal but the […]
A great read!

It may be a thoroughly miserable start to the weekend over Western Scotland but we remain on the warm side of an increasingly active autumn jet stream. The slow moving cold front attached to the latest Atlantic low has brought a soggy night and start to the weekend across western Scotland, especially the West Highlands and that continues through the […]
Summer is well in our rear view mirror with Meteorological Autumn beginning at the start of September and Astronomical Autumn occurring yesterday. Day and night will be exactly equal as of Sunday the 25th (equilux) meaning equal and from there on, night is longer than day. Wish to know more about our seasons? VIDEO: Mechanism […]
