Seasonal Forecasts
As your well aware, we have a cold and blustery weekend in store with wind, rain and snow skirting the far South but a real blasting down over France. The further north you go over the UK, the colder the air and stiffer the easterly becomes with snow showers pushing in off the North Sea. BBC […]
This weekend could see the coldest temperatures not just of winter but in years for Boston and other parts of New England and Northeast. Down comes a piece of the ‘polar vortex’. Interestingly this weekend’s arctic blast hits in the midst of New England’s warmest winter in history. February opened record mild too with a strong of 50s during […]
Some woke to a ‘surprise’ covering of snow across Scotland this morning. Expect more of this as we head into the weekend as lows slide underneath a building dome of cold air. Yellow warning out for snow across northeast Scotland tomorrow! These deflected lows are a result of the Arctic Oscillation flipping back negative, triggered by strong cross […]
4,529 people boarded Royal Caribbean’s ‘anthem of the seas’ in Bayonne, New Jersey for a luxury, once in a lifetime cruise to the Bahamas. Most passengers and remarkably even the captain was unaware of what they were facing. Must have felt like the ‘perfect storm’ as they set sail. This is what they we’re facing. As the world’s 3rd largest ocean liner departed New York […]
The pattern across Ireland and the British Isles has relaxed substantially following the recent bombardment of storms. Higher pressure and colder air filtering south will make it at least feel a bit more February-like while the storms get re-routed into France, Spain and Portugal. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Little weather to speak of today through early Friday with […]
You have to go back to January 1994 for the last time New York’s Central Park last recorded 0F. Since then, winter by winter, the models have seen NYC dipping below 0 but it’s never materialised. The closest it came was back in January 2004 when the park hit 1F twice during a particularly cold January with a high […]
With a negative Arctic Oscillation but positive North Atlantic Oscillation, we turn colder but remain unsettled. The non -NAO means the Atlantic remains our active but the strat warm induced -AO means the jet has been forced south, meaning most of the UK is in the colder air. However with a still active jet/storm track as […]
We saw a textbook example of bombogenesis off the South Atlantic coast as a system rapidly deepened bringing gale-force wind, heavy,m flooding rain, beach erosion, coastal flooding as well as some snow. That very beast is now heading NNE with a tropical look. It’s bringing blizzard conditions to the Cape today. While the Atlantic weather […]
This year’s highly active storm pattern continues to role with Imogen, the 9th named storm of the season slamming southern Ireland and Britain. The more southerly track is thanks to a more southerly jet stream providing a break for Northern Ireland and Scotland. Tremendous wind energy associated with Imogen crossing hundreds of miles of Atlantic has generated phenomenal […]
The weird and wacky, tough to forecast ups and downs of winter 2015-16 continues with January turning out slightly colder than normal following a record warm December. Now that we’ve opened February, like December, it’s exceptionally mild in the East but the difference is that there’s plenty of winter all around rather than a sea of warmth. After all the […]
