The remnant low of former Tropical Storm Henri is having far reaching influence across Western Europe with heavy rain, flooding downpours and disruptive winds which has generated heavy seas. Infrared satellite view from earlier shows the centre just of NW Iberia. While a band of heavy rain and gusty winds are found along and just ahead of […]
This article from the Express caught my eye on a shop newspaper stand this morning. Thought I would share a few thoughts on this. While I’m not saying we can’t have a winter in 2015-16, I highly doubt a repeat of 09-10 is on the way. Why? With the exceptions of El Nino, there is little […]
Despite being on holiday, my intensions have been to continue writing posts. However, there has been ongoing server issues which has prevented me from providing content.
