United Kingdom & Ireland
There is a lot of rain to come through the rest of this week and weekend but all signs now firmly point to a substantial warm, settled spell mid next week on into the weekend and the good news I have for you this evening is that it appears ALL areas including Ireland and Scotland will enjoy warm sunshine too as the […]
Scotland It’s a cloudy, drizzly evening to come across Western and Central areas while bright or even sunny skies end the day along the North Sea coast. Overnight tonight sees a band of organised and quite heavy rain push in from the Channel and this will bring a wet night from the Central Highlands on […]
The unsettled, highly Atlantic influenced pattern continues across Western Europe and this cooling influence with frequent fronts is gradually erasing the major heat that’s baked Europe over recent weeks. The jet is flattening out and so rain bearing frontal systems are now pushing maritime air all the way towards eastern areas. The focus of heat […]
Scotland It’s a fine end to your Tuesday right across Scotland with all but coastal areas enjoying plenty of sunshine and it may feel comfortably warm in that sunshine. Through the overnight and cloud increases from the West but it stays largely dry, clearer and cooler in the East. Lows dip to between 6C in rural […]
We are now in a very different type of pattern compared to what we were last month and the change as alluded to and expected since way back in mid-July was due to the sharp rise in water temperatures surrounding the UK along with the progression of the season and the cooling which was taking place up at 500mb just […]
I’m seeing a few interesting comments surfacing on Facebook about the increase in arctic and northern hemisphere sea ice extent compared to recent years which they claim may lead to little or no blocking and a mild winter for Europe and I guess they mean North America too. This prompted me to have a look at […]
Scotland After a rather mixed weekend with a cool feel thanks to the breeze, the new workweek kicks off in a similar vane with plenty of sunshine, a cool breeze but those showers will pep up through the morning and especially into the afternoon. The heaviest and most persistent looks to be in the East but your […]
It’s been a much more classic summer pattern across Western Europe over the last 10-15 days while the very air mass which baked us back in July sizzles central and eastern Europe. Much of the Med up into the Alpine region has seen blistering highs of 35-40C with an all-time high of 40.1C in Austria. The front […]
It’s back to normality over much of Western Europe after the UK endured it’s third warmest July on record. Cooler westerly winds are back in control but all the heat which baked western areas last month hasn’t disappeared but simply shifted east and the heat is ON big-time across the Mediterranean basin as well as central areas of […]
Scotland The sunshine and showers of today should largely die away overnight tonight with clear spells developing. While many areas turn chilly with rural areas again dipping to between 3-6C, towns and cities nearer 9 or 10C, expect some showers to push into Western areas, possibly reaching Glasgow. Saturday looks similar to today with a […]
