Seasonal Forecasts
For a third and last time this summer, we’ve a distinct NW/SE contrast over the UK both today and tomorrow with cloud, rain and cool dominating Scotland while hot sunshine sweats the Southeast. The reason for the contrast is simple, low pressure near Iceland and high pressure over the Low Countries has a seperating fontal system sliding through N […]
For the Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, August 2016 and I suppose the summer of 2016 overall will stand out as warm and very humid. A lot of this can be attributed to drought, a strong Bermuda high and unusually warm waters helping drive rainforest level humidity all the way to New England. Two other areas which stand out as very warm this […]
We’re fast approaching the end of August and like June and July, it’s been a month of contrasts across Europe with record warmth in the far east while this could be one of the coolest on record for west-central. Europe 2m temperature anomaly for August to date. Overall, summer 2016’s been a mixed bag across Northern […]
It’s a rather autumnal open to the weekend across Ireland and the UK with gusts south of the low pressure centre widely in the 30-50 mph range and up to 63 mph on the Welsh Irish Sea coast. Wave heights of nearly 20ft have been recorded on the K2 buoy off Ireland. This highly Atlantic driven pattern has two moods and […]
So, we have a strong upper ridge centred over the interior Pacific NW providing record warmth all the way to the WA-OR coast while a trough is deepening southward over the N Rockies/Plains. A strengthening storm marking the separation will track NE through the Great Lakes with warm, humid, juicy air ahead, cool and dry […]
On two separate occasions I set aside a day to drive up to Fort William and climb The Ben, however the weather was poor with frequent low cloud and rain. A waste of time! Then towards the end of last week I saw a break in the weather for this week and Tuesday was free and set aside straight […]
It’s a windy day across Ireland and the UK all courtesy of this beautiful, textbook quality low pressure swirl SW of Ireland. Wind warnings are in place for parts of England and Wales. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Coastal gusts of 50-70 mph, inland 30-50 mph is expected Saturday. The weekend low is slow to clear east and so it shall remain […]
While we’re talking fall-like temps in the 50s and 60s over the Northern Plains, we’re talking record 90s and 100s for the Pacific Northwest. The extremity of the ridge and 10-15 above normal is contributing to the 10-20 below normal east of the Rockies. Severe Weather Returns to the Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes Through Saturday […]
The past few days has been spectacular with cloud free skies and warm sunshine courtesy of high pressure. Today’s not a bad day either with plenty of warm sunshine on offer but an abrupt change arrives through tomorrow. Current temps. The high pressure zone responsible for this fine settled spell peaked in strength yesterday hence the […]
There’s been little talk of cool in recent weeks but the trough set to drop over the Plains and slide east will bring the greatest negative anomalies in weeks with record lows possible. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] This is brief I know but I’ll have more for you tomorrow. See today’s video.
