UPDATE: SPC has issued a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Original Post We have a dangerous setup on the Plains today! Juicy air already in place as southerly flow and increases along with daytime heating. Projected highs this afternoon. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Cold air sliding over very warm, moist air leads to incredible CAPE values. Another system follows […]
High anchored to the west and low to the east has the UK, along with France, Low Countries and Germany at the mercy of a cold draft from the north that’s more suited to winter rather than late spring. 5,000ft level temps are unusually cold at between -5 to -10C throughout the entire UK atmosphere. This arctic air stream […]
A deep upper low and trough sliding east through the Four Corners will set the stage for one of the bigger severe weather outbreaks of this sleepy 2016 season as warm, humid air lifts north ahead of the front. SPC have issued a ‘moderate risk’ for Tuesday. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Severe weather on the Plains but […]
Though not unprecedented, this week will be one of the colder endings to an April you’ll see.

Under brilliantly clear blue sky, the thermometer climbed to 19.2C yesterday and so far today, 19.5C at Porthmadog, Wales, making it the UK’s warmest day of 2016. However, this time just 5 years ago, we we’re in the midst of an unusually warm spell which sent temperatures widely into the high teens and low 20s […]
The cool pattern isn’t giving up without a fight and with the continuation of a firmly negative AO/NAO, summer warmth is being beaten back. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Until we can get the positive to drop down from the Arctic and Greenland, this is more wet than warm and sure, the cold shots are weakening but I’ll […]
High pressure continues to promote beautiful clear skies for much of the British Isles. Great weather if you happen to be off this week. Satellite picture from yesterday. Last night’s sky was just beautiful here. This morning’s satellite view is even better. Barely a whisp of cloud from southern Highlands to South Coast. Here’s the evidence down […]
