Summer 2015
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 […]
While one autumnal low departs, packing damaging wind gusts along the Dutch coast and generating 12-22ft swells at sea, another is sweeping into Ireland and after a day of sun and heavy, thundery showers, expect cloud, wind and rain to increase through Saturday night over the UK. It appears this low was a record-breaker for the Netherlands. Worst for […]
The pattern remains highly transient and while there’s currently a Plains ridge with 90/100 degree heat, there’s a refreshing trough over the Northeast, expect the opposite later next week. The 594 boiler plate ridge now over Texas which is pushing the first 100 degree day for Dallas shifts WESTWARD into the Southwest later next week but before we get there, the heat in the […]
While the Northern half of the British Isles has seen it’s fair share of moisture this summer, the South on the other hand hasn’t. That’s about to change as an unusually deep July low crosses through the Channel bringing coastal gales and a widespread soaking rain. The huge SSTA gradient between central North Atlantic and off […]
Despite ‘regional’ hot spells, this July won’t be remembered so much for heat and drought but more cool and especially wet. In fact nationally it’s likely been the coolest July since 2009 with no 100-degree day as of yet in Dallas, TX and only two 90s in New York while there’s been no 90s in a few Ohio Valley […]
With the exceptions of SE England, we continue to see an increase in rainfall this July following the hot, dry start for all of the UK. The monthly average is now back around normal compared to way above average during the opening 5 days. With a particularly cool and at times wet end to July, it’s likely that the central and […]
It may have been a cool summer up until now (likely to continue too) over Northern Europe compared to points further south, but it may well be the coolest July on record for St Johns, Newfoundland after experiencing it’s warmest July just last year. How so drastically different in just 12 months? [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The […]
