United Kingdom & Ireland
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Based on current circumstances both in atmosphere, ocean and soil, it would appear that we’re going into a ‘changeable weather pattern’ for the spring. In other words, we could go back and forth between ridge and trough but the overall theme is likely to sway more towards low pressure in the means over […]
A strong anticyclone dominates not just the UK and Ireland but pretty much the whole of Europe these days with most areas void of cloud cover. Here’s is that anomalous positive gracing our skies and helping raise our spirits. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Interestingly when looking at the initial ECMWF sea level pressure field, there’s nowhere over our continent (except the […]
There’s little ‘weather’ to speak of across most of Europe thanks to a strong positive height field. Temps managed to reach 16C in the Scottish Highlands this afternoon thanks to abundant sun, dry air and light winds. The ridge appears to peak in strength tomorrow over the North Sea before a gradual decline in heights […]
Mild Pacific air has flooded the nation with the warmest air since last October and November. In fact temps ran a solid 10 to as much as 30 above normal today from California to New York but old man winter is ready to show that he’s not done yet. Not by a long shot. The […]

The spring forecast will be released in the coming days but I have deliberately held back on putting a forecast out. The reason is that we’re talking about a cold AMO signal along with a potential El Nino forming this summer. These factors along with the wet soils across Ireland and the UK will have impact […]
While wintry showers rattled in on a stinging, gale-force west wind across Scotland while temps soared to 16.8C in central London, Friday. That was the warmest day of 2014 in the UK. Yesterday was much milder across Scotland. Thanks to the approach of a front associated with a sub-955mb low near Iceland, accelerating SSW winds and sunny skies may […]
Not surprisingly, all the stormy weather we’ve endured over the last 3 months has meant that we’ve endured the ‘windiest’ winter (Dec-Feb) [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] As for the global temperature anomaly for February, the US is coldest while Europe is warmest but notice the warmest values are over eastern Europe. A large chunk of Asia has […]
Before we get to the high pressure and milder weather set to dominate our region this upcoming weekend, this was the scene at the Nevis Range in the Scottish Highlands this past weekend (below). Yes, just another huge dump of snow which forces resort crews to dig chair lifts out. WHAT A SEASON despite the UK […]
I have good news for the storm weary! Models continue to turn towards a warmer and drier solution later this upcoming week into next weekend. This may be a trend rather than blip and thus we may well be turning towards a drier and warmer pattern. Hopefully! [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] First we must get through another 3 […]
