Not one but two lows of polar origin (formation between Greenland and Canada) will slam Iceland, likely presenting winter extremely early. Just last year on Sept 15th, a rare, even unprecedented snowstorm struck northern parts of the Nordic Isle, killing many sheep and cutting off my northern residents and visitors. Less than a year on […]
Scotland It’s a cloudy evening but largely dry for most except for the Western Isles and eventually Northwest mainland. Through the overnight, the rain associated with a front will gradually advance south bringing a damp night to many western and central areas, perhaps holding just to the north or over Glasgow. Remaining dry to the […]
Models remain unchanged for Iceland on the Saturday slammer straight from the arctic in which icy gales combined with heavy snow is likely across at least a large swath of the higher terrain or north side of the Island but given the cold air that will be pulled from off an increasingly cold Greenland, it wouldn’t surprise me if we […]
Scotland It’s a largely quiet, cloudy end to the afternoon with some sunshine peaking through here and there, especially in the East and it’s here where we have the best of the temperatures, upwards of 20 or 21C in a few spots. Through tonight and cloud thickens and we could even see some light and […]
It’s been a splendid day across the vast majority of the UK across the North Sea to the Low Countries up into Denmark and Scandinavia and the rest of this week is looking largely fine, dry, warm and settled with the Azores high dominant but it’s the polar low which continues to be seen by the […]
Scotland After a misty murky start to your day, Scotland should largely brighten through the morning and by afternoon it’s dry, bright and warm with temperatures inland widely reaching 20-22C but locally it may approach 25C in a few spots. Light rain or drizzle affecting the Western Isles and far NW will pep up through this evening […]
While the main low weakens and lifts north of Iceland, a large piece of it’s original energy has split and is bringing heavy, flooding rains to eastern England this afternoon. This energy is diving SE and aiding in the formation of a newly forming low at the tail of the original front. This seemingly innocuous feature will intensify and push southeast into […]
The heat is well and truly on this afternoon across Southeast England as a low off Iceland and a large high centred over Scandinavia promotes warm southerly winds over the UK. Combine those warm southerly winds with some sunshine and the temperature has risen into the balmy 26-29C territory. However cloud and rain is spreading into western parts as the frontal system attached […]
Scotland It’s a mixed Friday afternoon and early evening as a weak front crosses the country bringing thickening cloud along with light and patchy rain. It’s also been warm and muggy day with temperatures generally hovering at between 20-23, locally 24C. Into tonight and the front will spark some heavier showers which will present the East with […]
As mentioned in yesterday’s post, as we push ever closer to September the west-east movement of our weather systems or progression of them is showing signs of speeding up as cold air begins to gain ground across the north. This increasing temperature imbalance is gradually accelerating the upper level winds, forcing ridges and troughs to move […]
