A Cold, Windy & For Some Snowy Open To Spring 2015

A Cold, Windy & For Some Snowy Open To Spring 2015

It’s a cold, blustery and for some, wintry open to spring 2015. We have a fairly brisk W wind going at present with origins extending all the way back to Arctic Canada so it’s a polar-maritime air mass in place. This is bringing fresh snowfall to higher elevations of Scotland, Northern Ireland and N England. […]

Stormy Pattern Set To Return To Western Europe… Already Building My 2015 Summer Forecast…

As forecast, modelling is firmly showing a ‘stormier’ pattern for Western Europe which means the return of severe gales, temperature rollercoaster’s and backside SNOW.

In the near term, i.e. this valentine’s weekend, we do have some wet and windy weather to talk about, however, high pressure looks to remain stubborn and stronger than initially thought to our southwest over the Azores next week. A strong positive over the Azores means an increasingly active Atlantic wave train gets directed towards Iceland and therefore we’re […]

Jamstec and CFSv2 Both Show A Cold Spring For The United States

Based on current global/hemispheric/Pacific-North America pattern, current SST temp profile with central Pacific El Nino, strong east QBO and cold AMO signal, I agree with the cold outlook to spring in both the CFSv2 and Jamstec. CFSv2 remains with the extreme cold February in the Northeast. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] It stays cold into March and April. Jamstec for the […]
