Greenland witnessed its highest June temperature ever recorded on Thursday By Jason Samenow and Angela Fritz Capital Weather Gang June 10 Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, soared to 75 degrees (24 Celsius) Thursday, marking the warmest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic country during June. Nuuk sits on Greenland’s southwest coast, where the country’s warmest […]
2012 and to an extent 2015 is a classic example of how a warm, dry spring does not necessarily signify a warm, dry summer. Record warmth in March and May of 2012 when Scotland witnessed an all-time monthly record high both months was followed by a cold, washout summer and I believe stated from the get go that summer 2016 is […]
It’s been a dry spring for the interior Southeast and Northeast and with evaporation rates high at this time of year, drought conditions can quickly worsen. With dry ground, strong incoming solar energy goes into heating but wet ground, evaporation hence why Texas is finding it hard to get to normal or above.

An epic trip to bring in my 10th and friend and climbing partner, Petr’s 163rd munro and 17th in the last 30 days. In short, up at 10pm Saturday June 4th, met Petr at his house at 11.15pm and departed Cumbernauld at 11.30pm for the near 5 hour, 239 mile overnight drive to the Northwest Highlands and specifically the beautiful settlement of […]
With the strongest upper ridge continuing to build over the Central US and troughs either side, we have a significant temperature contrast in the Northwest and Northeast with autumnal air of 50s and 60s, dew points 20s and 30s while we’re talking full blown summer heat of 90s, even 100s and heat indexes of 100-110. This temperature […]
High pressure brought another warm day to the UK and hot day to Spain with the southern interior, AKA the ‘oven of Spain’ reaching it’s first 40C of the year. Glasgow enjoyed another 21C+ day with 24.1C yesterday.

Flooding in France FROM NASA EARTH OBSERVATORY In June 2016, a slow-moving weather system unleashed several days of heavy downpours on western Europe, pushing the Seine River to heights not seen in 34 years. With the Seine’s water levels 6.1 meters (20 feet) above normal in Paris, flood waters knocked out electricity for thousands of […]
In this morning’s video I showed how the heat crosses the Rockies into the Plains presenting the first widespread upper 90s and low 100s from Minot to Wichita. Further south the wet ground sure does take the sting out of the heat for Texas. With a trough pushing into the West this weekend on into next […]
After a few weeks of northerly high pressure domination with Spanish weather over Scotland and Scottish weather down in Spain, we’re about to turn this upper pattern on it’s head reverting to a more typical setup. The past 7 and 14 days has sure been summer-like away from the UK East Coast as well as the Low Countries, Denmark, […]
Several things going on at the moment, 1) Colin is leaving the playing field, 2) record heat continues Out West but will moves east in coming days 3) in response to the strong western ridge we have unusually chilly June air moving through the Great Lakes and will eventually make it’s presence felt over the Northeast, 4) the […]
