Summer 2015
As expected, the UK is sandwiched between fronts with clear, settled conditions in between. While the Atlantic tries to throw the next low our way, the expanding Scandinavian high with wind and rain along it’s western flank is attempting to push in from the North Sea and will do tonight and tomorrow. This is an […]
The ridge that has been baking Texas has shifted west allowing showers and storms as far south as Houston. As well as building the heat west, it’s drove north, forcing highs to 107 degrees in Montana, 104 in North Dakota yesterday. Hot day yesterday was followed by a warm night in Montana. It was another hot day for Texas as […]
It seems every month according to NOAA and NASA are the warmest EVER. May was warmest, June was warmest and now July is warmest. That’s globally of course! With the strong El Nino well underway, let’s face it. Those on the global warming side of the argument need to push the warmth since this is […]
After a prolonged and persistent pattern in which low pressure with frequent spells of cool, wet and at times windy conditions dominated Northwest Europe and high pressure with dry, hot conditions over much of the continent, we appear to have a change in the upper air pattern as we approach autumn 2015’s first month.

As we head for the fall, the influence of El Nino (already a big player) will only grow stronger.

The US has already experienced significant […]
It’s been a wet open to Friday, stormy for some but there’s rarely a west to east split in precipitation than this morning. While bone dry in Glasgow, it was pouring it down 35 miles east in Edinburgh. Of course heavy rainfall has made for travel issues through the heart of England too. The GFS […]

It was another hot day under a blazing August sun yesterday. Paris topped 33C while it soared to 38C in Bucharest. However, it’s all eyes on what’s lifting out of the Bay of Biscay, a system born over the warm waters, fuelled by Mediterranean warmth and humidity shall lift north over northern France into the southern […]
Here’s the CFSv2 precipitation and temperature for Sep/Oct. Interesting to see how the CFSv2 takes the wetter than normal east into the Southeast as we enter the heart of fall. Temperature wise, I think there’s a good deal of warm, settled and tranquil weather for a large portion of the country, possibly remaining on the […]
With the undisputed help of a cold Atlantic has supported a cool summer for Ireland and UK while the strong El Nino and warm Mediterranean has led to a hot, dry summer for much of the continental mainland. A persistent trough extending from Iceland to UK has forced a cooler than normal June, July and likely August period and with […]
