United Kingdom & Ireland
Scotland It’s a real soaker out there this afternoon with fairly strong southwest winds. Temperatures are mild thanks to the warm source region in which winds are blowing from with highs of 12 to 15C, locally 16C along the brighter and sheltered Moray Firth. Through tonight, rain continues to fall heavy for many, especially over the upslope areas of […]
Scotland A blustery night to come, as winds ease and with clear skies, it turns cooler. However winds will pick up through the second half of the night as the next front pushes in from the southwest, bringing another spell of wet and windy weather tomorrow with southerly gales. Everywhere will see a spell of heavy, […]
Two deep Atlantic lows will bring two bands of heavy rain accompanied by gale or severe gale-force winds to Northern and Western parts of Britain and across Ireland in quick sucession, tonight and tomorrow night with blustery showers following in between. Winds will widely top 50+ mph over Scotland, Northern England, Wales and right across […]
Scotland A brief break this afternoon from the strong wind and heavy showers from last night but tonight will see the arrival of the next Atlantic low, with pressure down into the 980s and it’s close approach to NW Scotland means gale-force winds tonight widely with severe gales to the NW. Those strong, potentially disruptive SW winds will […]
Although this weekend is somewhat of a wash out for many across the UK, particularly in the west, I guess the milder flow extending all the way down towards the Azores is helping raise spirts as we try to get out of what is one of our coldest spring’s on record. For the Southeastern corner of […]
Scotland It’s been a cold and damp Friday across much of Scotland although there have been breaks, particularly in the northeast but highs have been disappointing at 5-8C. Tonight will remain cloudy and damp across Central and Southern parts while clearer skies to the North will allow a colder and frosty night. Lows range between 2-4C where cloud […]
For weeks now it’s been all about the strongly negative NAO/AO which has delivered our persistent cold but finally the ensembles are showing the opposite with a fairly sharp rise into positive territory and this will support the opposite teleconnection which has setup up beautifully of late between eastern North America and western Europe. In other words, instead […]
Scotland The pattern has finally switched around with our weather now coming in from a SW direction, rather than from the east and that means much cloudier skies along with rain and a freshening breeze. With the cold air mass still trying to hang on, it’s a cold rain with snow falling over the hills. Through […]
The upcoming ‘warm spell’ which has been forecasted here since last week is now well advertised as it becomes more and more obvious on the models but while many jump on the idea that it’s going to warm up, i’ve been trying to determine the finer details of this weekend, such as timing, how much sun and just […]
Scotland Some small changes on the way over the next 24 hrs, greater change comes this weekend in the form of much milder weather. Tonight will see largely cloudy skies along with an easterly breeze. Both will keep the air temp up but it will feel colder with the wind. Chance of an odd flurry […]
