Winter 2015/16
Now that is a cold wind out there this morning. The easterly blowing off Denmark will contain a mix of rain, sleet and snow with an increasingly turn over to snow as Saturday progresses. Visible satellite this morning shows the first of several lows pushing through the English Channel. Winds blow in off the Atlantic […]
We have a bitterly cold weekend coming up from DC to Bangor but does this arctic blast last? We have an interesting and potentially record breaking temperature rollercoaster coming up between Sunday and Tuesday evening. Firstly it’s all about the cold and when it’s arctic air involved, don’t you just love the clear blue skies […]
As your well aware, we have a cold and blustery weekend in store with wind, rain and snow skirting the far South but a real blasting down over France. The further north you go over the UK, the colder the air and stiffer the easterly becomes with snow showers pushing in off the North Sea. BBC […]
This weekend could see the coldest temperatures not just of winter but in years for Boston and other parts of New England and Northeast. Down comes a piece of the ‘polar vortex’. Interestingly this weekend’s arctic blast hits in the midst of New England’s warmest winter in history. February opened record mild too with a strong of 50s during […]
Some woke to a ‘surprise’ covering of snow across Scotland this morning. Expect more of this as we head into the weekend as lows slide underneath a building dome of cold air. Yellow warning out for snow across northeast Scotland tomorrow! These deflected lows are a result of the Arctic Oscillation flipping back negative, triggered by strong cross […]
4,529 people boarded Royal Caribbean’s ‘anthem of the seas’ in Bayonne, New Jersey for a luxury, once in a lifetime cruise to the Bahamas. Most passengers and remarkably even the captain was unaware of what they were facing. Must have felt like the ‘perfect storm’ as they set sail. This is what they we’re facing. As the world’s 3rd largest ocean liner departed New York […]
The pattern across Ireland and the British Isles has relaxed substantially following the recent bombardment of storms. Higher pressure and colder air filtering south will make it at least feel a bit more February-like while the storms get re-routed into France, Spain and Portugal. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Little weather to speak of today through early Friday with […]
You have to go back to January 1994 for the last time New York’s Central Park last recorded 0F. Since then, winter by winter, the models have seen NYC dipping below 0 but it’s never materialised. The closest it came was back in January 2004 when the park hit 1F twice during a particularly cold January with a high […]
With a negative Arctic Oscillation but positive North Atlantic Oscillation, we turn colder but remain unsettled. The non -NAO means the Atlantic remains our active but the strat warm induced -AO means the jet has been forced south, meaning most of the UK is in the colder air. However with a still active jet/storm track as […]
We saw a textbook example of bombogenesis off the South Atlantic coast as a system rapidly deepened bringing gale-force wind, heavy,m flooding rain, beach erosion, coastal flooding as well as some snow. That very beast is now heading NNE with a tropical look. It’s bringing blizzard conditions to the Cape today. While the Atlantic weather […]
