United Kingdom & Ireland
While the pattern remains quite benign I thought I would post a little on the pattern over the next few weeks and basically through the first half of October. Firstly here is the NAO and AO indexes and it’s clear to see where they are at right now. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] As your well aware, I […]
Scotland It’s a damp, dreary but mild afternoon across the country with the exceptions of the Northern Isles where it’s a rather cool 10 or 11C. Little if any sunshine for most but if your in the northwest corner and perhaps along the Ayrshire coast, you may have seen some sunshine this afternoon. The thick […]
Scotland It was a fairly warm, humid weekend just gone with temperatures reaching a respectable 23C in Aberdeen. Today it’s been largely cloudy but staying mild and humid with highs peaking at around 18-21C. Tonight will see the cloud and mid thicken and it will be a murky night to come with lows only dipping by […]
Through at least the first half of this week, the majority of the UK will be dealing with a mixture of low cloud, mist, fog, drizzle and for a select few, some sunshine. Everywhere except the far north of Scotland is in a warm, sub-tropical air mass and with it stemming from a maritime source […]
As forecasted now for days, we have a large temperature spread setting up next week across Europe as ridging and warmth builds north from Iberia to the UK while arctic cold drops south over Scandinavia. Expect highs into the 21-27C range early next week over the UK while temperatures may struggle to get much above […]
The Europe pattern becomes highly amplified starting this weekend and as warmth lifts north a low over Iceland will slide east, riding the northerly periphery of the northern extending UK ridge. The thermal contrast will develop a storm system that will tap colder arctic origin air and pull it south across Scandinavia while warmth builds north over the UK. […]
Scotland It’s a bright afternoon across many central, southern and eastern areas with the thickest cloud and best chance of light, patchy rain in the north. With the help of sunshine, temps will climb to a more comfortable 15-17C. Tonight will be cloudy for most with some rain developing in the NW Highlands and this may […]
In coming days, Europe will find itself in a rather wild pattern with a highly amplified jet stream pattern with a big ridge developing in the west while a deep trough sets up in the east. This wild buckling of the jet will drive a lot of heat north from Spain to the UK with […]
Scotland It’s a damp end to the day for some while others enjoy late day bright or sunny spells. Through this evening and overnight, patchy cloud will linger but where clear pockets develop, it will turn chilly once again with low single figures in some sheltered rural parts. Overall a fairly quiet night to come. Lows […]
While a lot of focus is now on the upcoming warmth which by the way could linger through the next 7-10 days, all indicators suggest colder times ahead with a significant change in the upper pattern across the northern hemisphere to end the month. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Both NAO/AO have been positive for a solid month […]
