Summer 2015
While there’s a LOT of hysteria about 2015’s opening 6 months being the warmest on record, you can clearly see the influence of the cold North Atlantic’s cooling influence on the atmosphere above and downwind over Ireland and the British Isles. Sure enough, once inland over continental Europe it’s warmer than normal. The strengthening El Nino […]
This visible satellite view is one to put in the archives. Thank El Nino for not only supporting unusually warm waters from the tropics to shores of California and producing Dolores, a once major east Pacific Hurricane but this potentially ‘strongest El Nino in 50 years’ has allowed the remains of this hurricane to take an unusual NNE path, […]
We have at least less potency in Atlantic lows this week but their presence is still being felt as they may be responsible for flipping the North and Northwest UK into ‘below normal territory’ for July, erasing the incredibly warm start. We started the month like this… We’re now at this… With the last 10 […]
While it was indeed the hottest day of summer yesterday from DC to Boston, it was an entirely different day up in Newfoundland. Just look at these anomalies between the Northeast and Newfoundland yesterday. Lows/highs from yesterday across North America. Northeast highs Mid-90s for the Major Cities with realfeels in the 100s while we saw a record low […]
In a struggling Iraq where thousands live in make shift refugee camps and electricity is intermittent or not an option, summertime is a particularly difficult time for locals. Especially during a heat wave. 100-degree heat is common place throughout the Middle East during July and August but when temperatures creep above 120 degrees, it becomes a greater challenge to […]
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 average compared to way above average during the opening 5 days. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] With a cool, wet pattern likely through the remaining 11 days […]
Article from Hawaii News Now MAUNA KEA, HAWAII (HawaiiNewsNow) – While most of Hawaii experiences sweltering conditions this July, part of the Big Island might seem like winter after Mauna Kea got some snow overnight. Officials have closed the road to the summit of Mauna Kea Friday after snow fell and caused icy road conditions. The […]
Bare with me… my internet remains down at the house (reason for no US post at all yesterday). However, I am able to at least post from wifi access outwith. Hope to have an engineer out in a day or so but until then, there will be no videos I’m afraid but plenty of written material […]

For many across the Northern UK overnight probably thought it was a January night and not a July night. Heavy and at times torrential rainfall was accompanied by gale-force gusts of wind from an unusually deep and tightly wound 990mb low skirting Scotland’s North Coast. Persistent gusts to 49 mph have caused havoc at the Open Championship in St Andrews, […]
