Seasonal Forecasts
It’s a tail of two halves for Western Europe these days, all thanks to the positioning of high pressure. As stated previous, when you’ve a northerly positioned high, it’s often unsettled underneath and when it’s unsettled across the north like it will be next week, it’s typically more settled underneath. Yesterday infrared satellite view shows […]
Not one, not two but THREE systems are setting the stage for a potentially devastating flood situation over the Eastern Seaboard through the next 5-7 days. We had the initial system which came out of the Gulf and is now pouring rain over the Northeast, then secondly we’ve got a frontal system pushing down from the Great […]
UPDATED: Temperatures reached 23.3C today at Braemar. The UK’s highest reading. Also, it was a well below normal September for rainfall across the UK with just 55% of normal. A good forecast for the month put out on Aug 24! We remain beneath the powerful influence of high pressure spanning some 1500-2000 miles and providing near cloudless […]
Since the last US post yesterday, we now have Tropical Storm Joaquin spinning east of the Bahamas. This looks to support a secondary tropical invasion into the East Coast following the first soaking through the next 24-36 hrs. The first system lifts up through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast but another southeastbound cold front looks set to lift out over the […]
I would be lying if I said there was no similarity between this year’s pattern and SSTA (sea surface temperature anomaly) to 2009. Like summer 2009, we have endured a cool, wet, -NAO/AO warm season and even the Sep/projected Oct pattern looks similar. An incredible similarity in the 500mb geopotential height field between summer 2009 and 2015. Summer 2009 […]
As forecast back on August 24th, this September has been a May repeat for the Upper Midwest and Northeast and not just here but all the way back into the Desert Southwest. September 2015 will be long remembered as a warm month. In fact cities stretching from Las Vegas in the Southeast to New York in the […]
Well did you manage to see the supermoon eclipse last night? Though not the best of quality, these were the images I managed to capture. As for the weather, well we’re firmly under the influence of a strong upper ridge, shielding us from any disturbed weather through the rest of this week. A perfect ending […]
Be sure to set your alarms for the rare supermoon lunar eclipse tonight. Said to peak around 3.11am, I’ll be setting my alarm probably around 2.15/2.30am to view this. Why? because the last time this occurred was the year before I was born and the next time, well it’ll be 2033. During the peak, the […]
We’ve two areas of concern through the next 5+ days, the first is the system gathering force off the Carolinas bringing flooding rain, gusty winds and beach erosion to the Mid-Atlantic. This will move into the Northeast through the weekend on into early next week. Big rains yesterday for the Carolinas. The other area of […]
A glorious September weekend is on tap throughout the UK extending into west-central Europe as heights build but what about next week? If you happen to be off, your in luck if staying in the UK but if you happen to be taking an end of season trip down to the Med, you may be sorely disappointed. […]
