Seasonal Forecasts
With a surge of monsoonal moisture streams northward into the Southwest from Mexico, the flash flood threat is ongoing. We saw some significant flooding due to thunderstorms yesterday with even the closure of I-15 linking LA with Vegas. Great shot of a strong thunderstorm towering above Twentynine Palms, CA yesterday afternoon. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Ongoing […]
Following record cold days and sustained below normal temperatures following the initial hot surge, July will wind up cooler-than-normal across at least 90% of the UK. The only place which may be average or slightly above in the SE corner of England. Just look at how cold the last 7 day mean has been. No surprise […]
An unusually potent summer low is making for a weather map more suited to fall in the Northern Rockies where heavy snow has been falling in the mountains, records winds have blew at lower elevations and temperatures are running 10-25 below normal. That same system is acting like a wheel, drawing arctic air south on […]
Thought I would share a few pics from our family day out to Deep Sea World over in North Queensferry, Fife on Sunday. Also, this came up on my facebook page this morning. Our second baby scan exactly 2 years ago today. What a difference 2 years makes!
What a difference a year makes… especially for Glasgow. This was the frequent scene during July last year, coinciding beautifully with the biggest sporting event in Scottish history was well underway in Glasgow. Snippet from post July 27, 2014 According to the Met Office, Friday saw the high at Glasgow’s official recording station at Bishopton, near the Airport […]
While temps soar to the highest values of summer in the East, we’re talking record cold, wind and even snow in the Northern Rockies. It’s been a cooler, wetter than normal summer for the Northeast following a record cold winter but this week it’s all about the heat and humidity. Yesterday’s highs and lows. Temps […]
Yesterday was about as cold as it gets on a July afternoon. Check out these noon values against the normals from yesterday. My dash temp around 1pm in Cumbernauld yesterday.

This summer will be known as a highly transient one and because the heat and humidity comes and goes as quick as it has been and will be this week, I think 2015 for many will be quickly put to the back of minds once into the fall season. Short lived ‘hot spells’ are never […]
Long have we forgotten about the hot sunny days which started this month off. Temperatures are more reflective of October now while it is as wet and windy as October too. I’ve given my reasons as to why this is and why this was forecasted here for months. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] While it’s a wet and very […]
As we end July we have changes in the upper air pattern as the mean ridge pulls west. After a cool and at times wet past 2 weeks for the Southwest, temps are on the rise this upcoming week while a trough is set to drive a decent shot of cool into the Midwest and […]
