United Kingdom & Ireland
Scotland Following a decent afternoon from the Central Lowlands on south, an area of rain with sleet and snow mixed in will advance south through this evening providing a damp, dreary night across much of the country with the exceptions of the East where it stays somewhat drier. Lows tonight will be much milder than […]
STV’s Sean Batty released a graphic today which shows multiple locations across Scotland which saw the coldest April on record. Is this a surprise given what we’ve seen? No. When data gets released by the Met Office with time, my hunch is more locations across the UK will have seen one of, if not thee coldest April too. […]
Scotland Following a cloudy and damp morning in places, the sunshine has broken through for most areas this afternoon but staying cooler than average. Speaking of cool, beneath clear skies and light winds expect a widespread rural ground frost with towns and cities holding above freezing. Lows in some spots may dip towards -5 or […]
Modeling is becoming adament about next week’s warm surge and I am feeling more confident this evening that while we’ve seen highs reach 23C in the UK so far, next week should push the 25C mark with Scotland, Denmark and even southern Scandinavia joining the 21C club for the first time this year. Like here in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Rebublic.. […]
Scotland Today’s glorious sunshine will make way for a cloudier, wetter and windier night, starting off in the North and spreading south by dawn Wednesday. The worst of the wind and rain should be across the far North and Highlands with the rain becoming pathier as it pushes south towards the Central Lowlands, pepping up over the upslope […]
Improving Weather Into Next Week, First Taste Of Summer For Scotland, Scandinavia? (Includes Video!)
The remainder of this week will stay on the chilly side with snow even to low levels across parts of Northern Scotland and the Northern Isles. Of course we have the news grabbing snow across many parts of Spain also. For the UK, there is no real warmth through the rest of this week despite plenty of mid week sunshine before another […]
Scotland The chilly theme with sunshine and heavy, blustery showers will continue through the next few hours before conditions improve once the sun sets and the atmosphere looses instability. Skies clear tonight from the central Highlands down through the Central Lowlands and the South. With light enough winds beneath those clear skies, temps should drop away towards 2-3C in towns and cities, nearer 0C in […]
While the cool, northwest flow, sunshine and April showers dominate the UK and Ireland through next week, areas of surface low pressure are forming south of a trough dropping down over the UK and Ireland. These surface cut offs, divorced from the main upper flow (jet stream) can plague regions for many days,l even a week or more because […]
Scotland The heavy, thundery showers of today packing gusty winds and hail, should die away through this evening. Beneath clear skies and fairly light winds thanks to a building high, it’s another cold late April night for all with patchy rural frost. Lows down to 2-3C in towns and cities, 1 to -2C in rural areas. Saturday is looking good […]
Temperatures climbed to 23°C (73°F) in London today, making for the UK’s warmest day of the year so far. As you well know, colder air is coming down and will wipe out this pleasant precusor of things to come by as early as tonight. The frontal boundary which seperated two very different air masses began to dive south […]
