Well did you manage to see the supermoon eclipse last night? Though not the best of quality, these were the images I managed to capture. As for the weather, well we’re firmly under the influence of a strong upper ridge, shielding us from any disturbed weather through the rest of this week. A perfect ending […]
Be sure to set your alarms for the rare supermoon lunar eclipse tonight. Said to peak around 3.11am, I’ll be setting my alarm probably around 2.15/2.30am to view this. Why? because the last time this occurred was the year before I was born and the next time, well it’ll be 2033. During the peak, the […]
A glorious September weekend is on tap throughout the UK extending into west-central Europe as heights build but what about next week? If you happen to be off, your in luck if staying in the UK but if you happen to be taking an end of season trip down to the Med, you may be sorely disappointed. […]
We’re stuck in a chilly, showery NW flow here across the UK but this setup is soon to change come the weekend as heights builds in from the Atlantic. As for mainland Europe, it’s been anything but benign, while the Spanish Costas continue to sweat in mid-summer heat (37C in Malaga), flooding rains too cause issues around around Alicante […]
Overall, September has proven pretty successful in terms of drier and more settled across much of the UK and as pointed out back in late August, there will be spells of unsettled but the emphasis should be largely on higher heights than that of the June-August period. Brief Ocean-Atmosphere Overview Interestingly the cool theme continues from […]
An autumnal trough currently over Northwest Europe brought an interesting contrast this morning across Spain in particular with cooler than normal extending from Scotland down through France into northern/central Spain. Clear sky and light winds meant a chilly night with mist, fog and patchy frost but Spain is separated by two very different air masses.

After a lengthy spell of fine, dry and settled weather across Northern Ireland and Scotland, this week will be quite different thanks to a reversal in upper pattern with low over high. That means Atlantic fronts will frequently drop into Scotland from the northwest bringing cool, wet and at times quite windy conditions. However, give it […]
Thought I would show you the September version of the December-February period off both the Met Office and Jamstec models. Rather interesting to say the least.

Well we arrived home around teatime yesterday and this morning it’s cool and foggy, big difference to yesterday morning when we walked over to breakfast in shorts and 22C early AM sunshine. All good things must come to an end right? Looks like my overall Sept idea is playing out pretty well. A decent first 10-15 […]
Late I know but as promised, here’s some thoughts on next week and through the rest of the month. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Little change overall with a northerly blocking high set to re-establish. The brunt of the unsettled weather has been over Iberia into France, Low Countries, England and Wales with Scotland and Northern Ireland let off lightly. A […]
