Spring 2016
Conditions improve through today across Spain but they go downhill over southern France while up here in Scotland, it’s less wet than yesterday with brightness returning later in the day from the west. Yesterday’s highs across Europe. Cool across Scotland and central Spain where heavy rain clouds lingered, positively summer-like further east. This morning’s infrared. Coolest beneath the rain […]
The true spring-like warmth of late last week was dramatically erased from Midwest to Northeast this past weekend as a powerhouse cold front with vort max packing gale-force gusts swept through Sat into Sun. This forced the rapid development of low pressure on exiting New England. The result was widespread wind gusts of 30-60 mph which tore down trees and power lines from Maine […]
It’s been an unsettled, cool pattern across Iberia in recent days and things will get worse before better as a deep, cold low sweeps in during Monday bringing windy as well as very wet conditions. Local flooding is inevitable for many central and southern parts of Spain. Snow has been significant in the northwest of Spain […]
Models are often far apart in their solutions, especially the further out you go. However, both EPS Control and GFS ensemble remain adamant on a textbook Greenland blocking pattern developing and entering a mature state within 6-10 days. This supports a more persistent or stubborn trough connecting the north shore of Hudson Bay to Florida. Hope you’ve enjoyed […]
We have a large and powerful storm system continuing it eastward journey through the Lakes and eventually up into Canada. It’s brought all weather types with heavy snow and blizzard conditions across parts of Wyoming, Nebraska and into Colorado, summer-like warmth up the East Coast while there’s been devastating tornadoes over parts of Oklahoma and the South. Note in the […]
Expect a cooler west, warmer east pattern through the first 15 days of April but troughiness doesn’t mean wet, expect spells of wet and dry, especially later next week as heights look to rise across the Northern UK and Scandinavia, lower down into Iberia day 6 onwards. Pattern looks very blocking April 10 on which could support […]
From Met Office Provisional figures up until 28 March show that most of England has had a wetter than average March but parts of Scotland have been much drier than average. In this topsy-turvy set up, figures also show that the north of the UK enjoyed warmer than average conditions for the first month of […]
While there may be a major shot of late season arctic air heading south into the Northeast, there is however a sign of the fast approaching summer season in South Texas today. McAllen topped out at 100 degrees, a full 6 degrees over the previous record and I believe this may well be the first […]
Very brief write-up this evening. Had a puncture on my travels today and set me back 2 hours. If you live in the Northeast, don’t be fooled by the nice warm southwest winds of the next few days, your about to nose dive back into February following a taste of late May/early June. Quite an […]
We have a classic late March/early April temperature rollercoaster. With a still active and progressive upper air flow crossing the Atlantic and Europe and with warmth building over Africa/Med but cold holding strong across Greenland and northern Scandinavia, we have a fight. With lows remaining active from Atlantic into the Western side of Europe, you can […]
