United Kingdom & Ireland
There’s no real chance to the overall idea for the upcoming work week. We’ve went from 27C two days ago down to 18C in and around London today. Cooler, cloudier and for some, wet as winds have turned to a NW direction. By the time we reach Wednesday, we’ll be back near 26C in the Southeast […]
For much of May, the CFSv2 has had June as a drier than normal month for the UK and Ireland while wetter down into Iberia, so far, that appears to be a pretty good call based on the current setup and projected continuation of high pressure dominance. The CFSv2 weeklies show a dry 2nd half to June for […]
Tell me, where would you rather be today… London where it may top 27C or Summit Camp, Greenland where it’s currently -27C? Not a fan of the heat? Well you catch a break in the wake of today’s thunderstorms and persistent rains of tomorrow (across Wales and central swathe of England). MUCH cooler across Northern Ireland […]
Well it looks as though next week sees another spell of sustained fine, dry and settled weather throughout Ireland and the UK but there’s a temporary break on the way for this weekend. Before we get there, it’s warming up very nicely today. Highs maxed out at 23C over eastern Scotland yesterday and today we […]
Thanks to high pressure drifting west back out into the Atlantic, a plume of warmer and more humid air will make a return to the UK through the second half of this work week. Unfortunately, like recent warm spells, it’s short lived and by this weekend, we’re back in the fresher air. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The […]
Less than two months after Northern Ireland came within .5C of the all-time monthly minimum for April, Katesbridge, Co Down does it again this morning coming within .5C of the June record. Thanks to the classic setup of clear skies and light winds, temperatures fell below freezing and fell to a minimum of -1.9C. Only thing is […]
Good morning, trust you all had a great weekend. Back to the grind for another working week eh! The good news is there’s little in the way of ‘bad weather’ today through at least Wednesday with a mix of sun and cloud and a few isolated showers, however it will be windy along the coasts, […]
I’m away from computers, laptops and forecast models this weekend but here’s a few interesting charts for you to ponder over till I’m back Monday! Jan-May 500mb height anomalies. Strong positive NAO signal. UK/Ireland was cooled by a colder-than-normal Atlantic, helped by persistent westerly flow but continental Europe was warmer-than-normal thanks to a strong +NAO. As for […]
We’ve reached another weekend and it’s yet another ‘tale of two halves’ with another low heavily influencing Northern Ireland and Scotland bringing strong winds and spells of heavy rain, much drier, brighter and therefore warmer into the bulk of England and Wales. Highs will range from 11C in the rain and wind but 21C in […]
Tired of the wet weather? The good news is next week is looking good and probably will bring the most sustained spell of dry weather since April. Unfortunately if it’s summer warmth your looking for your going to be disappointed. The strong high building in off the Atlantic isn’t particularly warm by June standards and the […]
