United Kingdom & Ireland
For those who are struggling with this warm weather, the end is in sight and always keep in mind that it could be and has been, far worse than this! Yes it’s been warm and yes we’ve seen 3 or 4 straight days topping 30C in Greater London but in the grand scheme of things, this […]
Scotland The cloud continues to thin and break over many parts of Scotland, especially Western areas which have seen the thicker cloud in recent days. Even with clouds, temps will climb into the 21-23C range but any prolonged sunshine, expect highs up to around 26C, especially in the East. The dampness in the North and Isles […]
Once the figures come in, today will likely wind up as the UK’s warmest day of the year, beating the 31.4C recorded at Heathrow back over the weekend. While that’s hot, tomorrow may be even hotter with the ridge strengthening that bit further. I’m looking for 33 or even 34C around London after a night which struggles to get below 21C. That figures plays an […]
Scotland After a cloudy but warm and muggy afternoon across Western and Northern parts, we should see some sunshine to end the day over Glasgow while staying sunny in the East. Light and patchy rain continues into the evening over the Western and Northern Isles and Northwest Highlands. Turning cloudy again overnight for most except for the East from […]
Scotland It’s a quiet start to the new week and an improving day following a cloudy but quiet start. Light and patchy rain has dominated the NW corner through the weekend with a fresh SW breeze but all in all it’s a fine afternoon with brightening skies for many. In the sheltered, sunnier East, highs […]
Over the next 48 hours, the strong and dominant ridge bringing all the heat to much of the UK and Ireland has backed far enough to the SW to allow weak fronts to brush northern Scotland and hold all the heat over England, Wales and much of Midland and southern Ireland. Light and patchy rain, increased breeze […]
The ‘heatwave’ of 2013 began last weekend and despite little sign of real cooling and the return of rain through the next 10 days, it doesn’t mean this is a repeat of 1976 especially considering that year produced probably the most drought in living memory and the heat was far worse than what we’ve seen so […]
The heat will remain strong across the Southern half of the UK and Ireland through next week while it’s a touch cooler with spells of rain across Northern Ireland and particularly Scotland. Even across more Northern areas, rain will be mainly light rain and scattered showers along with sunshine. How far south any rain gets remains unclear and for […]
Scotland After what has been the warmest day yet for many towns and cities, this evening with remain very warm with temperatures holding at 21C will perhaps 11pm only falling to 16C for many my dawn tomorrow. Light rain or drizzle for the West Coast and far North while a mix of mist, low cloud or clear […]
Good morning to you all. We’re back to Friday and it’s nearly another weekend and boy what a weekend it’s going to be from Carlisle on southwards. We may scrape a 30C today over sheltered northern parts of England but if it doesn’t get there today, it should tomorrow somewhere within the Greater London area and down […]
