Salt Lake City Experiences Hottest Night In Midst Of A Hot Summer 2016

Another weekend and another trip to the mountains! It’s Saturday, July 16, 2016 01.00am, not quite the journey by road we faced with Liatach or Conival, Ben More Assynt but what we lost in road miles we most certainly gained on foot with this trip. I met up with my good friend Petr in Cumbernauld at the unearthly hour […]

WESTERN EUROPE: Another Mild, Wet & Stormy Winter Ahead For 2016-17?

[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] High solar, warm ocean and westerly QBO favours wet, windy and often stormy neutral to +NAO winters for Western Europe.
