United Kingdom & Ireland
The unusually cold air predicted to sweep into eastern Europe as the UK ridge builds northeast into Scandinavia is doing so and we’re already seeing rather winter-like conditions with cold and SNOW across portions of Romania. This push of unseasonable cold will continue through the rest of the week. Here was a picture sent to me […]
The pattern is slowly changing over Europe as the upper low which brought Scandinavia it’s first taste of winter exits allowing the UK ridge to finally start shifting northeast, centring itself over Scandinavia. By doing so, it allows the sprawling and rather strong low SW of the UK to lift northeast replacing high pressure with low pressure and […]
Scotland It’s a fine, dry and pleasant start to the week and end to September with temperatures slightly above average at 17-19, locally 20C in the Northwest Highlands. Considerably cooler along the east coast with a strong SE wind keeping temperatures close to 12 or 13C. Windy for most. Tonight is dry, mild and windy but […]
We remain in a rather amplified or ‘blocky’ pattern right now across Europe with two main drivers controlling the movement of air around the continent. Through the second half of this past week, TWO upper lows have played a key role with one to the SW of the UK and the other slowly drifting east across Scandinavia. […]
The cold is well and truly in place across Scandinavia but while it eases in coming days across the North of the continent as ridging builds in, setting up a classic ‘Scandi block’, even colder air looks set to get drafted in from Asia into western Russia and perhaps into the Ukraine and SE Europe […]
Scotland After a fairly dull, cloudy but mainly dry afternoon for most, skies will tend to clear like last night, making way for a cool night beneath the stars. Overnight lows dip to between 3-6C in rural areas to nearer 8-10C in the major towns and cities. Look out for dense fog patches in parts of […]
There is a large temperature spread across Europe these days with a highly amplified pattern bringing unusual late season warmth to Iberia with highs reaching the low 30s across northern parts of Spain but in stark contrast we’re seeing the first snows fall across Scandinavia as well as in cities such as Helsinki, Riga, Tallinn […]
Scotland It’s been a largely fine and dry day across much of Scotland but thicker cloud has lingered from Dumfries up into Glasgow and through tonight, while sunshine gives way to starry skies, light and patchy rain will fall through the night across the Southwest up the western flank of the country, always drier, clearer […]
Scotland After a fairly cloudy afternoon, skies will turn clear through tonight and since the front is to the south, introducing a cooler air mass, it will turn quite chilly overnight with lows widely down to 3 or 4C in rural areas, nearer 5 to 7C in towns and cities. Thursday looks fine, dry and sunny […]
