United Kingdom & Ireland
Long have we forgotten about the hot sunny days which started this month off. Temperatures are more reflective of October now while it is as wet and windy as October too. I’ve given my reasons as to why this is and why this was forecasted here for months. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] While it’s a wet and very […]
While one autumnal low departs, packing damaging wind gusts along the Dutch coast and generating 12-22ft swells at sea, another is sweeping into Ireland and after a day of sun and heavy, thundery showers, expect cloud, wind and rain to increase through Saturday night over the UK. It appears this low was a record-breaker for the Netherlands. Worst for […]
While the Northern half of the British Isles has seen it’s fair share of moisture this summer, the South on the other hand hasn’t. That’s about to change as an unusually deep July low crosses through the Channel bringing coastal gales and a widespread soaking rain. The huge SSTA gradient between central North Atlantic and off […]
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 normal compared to way above average during the opening 5 days. With a particularly cool and at times wet end to July, it’s likely that the central and […]
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 […]
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 […]

Bare with me… my internet remains down at the house but 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. As for the weather, well we finally […]
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, […]

The River Bann flows by the hamlet. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 135 people. It lies within the Banbridge District. […]
