UK And Ireland April-May Outlook

When the heck is it going to warm up your asking! We’re tired of all this cold weather? I hear ya. My answer is MID-April. Prepare for 15 more days of unseasonable cold, especially if your living in central Europe and we are done with this. Although there may well be cool spells into May, the real cold will be done and we […]

UK Experiences Coldest Easter Sunday On Record

As a cold surface high pressure system continued to build down from Norway and over top of a still healthy snowpack over Grampian Scotland, conditions have become more favourable for significantly cold late March nights. With snow covered ground, stopping any warmth from penetrating the ground by day and clear skies,, light winds along with a very cold, dry air mass […]

We are ending our coldest March in 51 years with some truely bitter nights and a push for not only the coldest night of March (-13C) but the coldest night in all of winter for the UK. It’s amazing to see this depth of cold so late in the year and of course we ‘spring forward’ to […]

UK Cold To Linger Into Mid-April, May End Warmer Than Normal (Includes Video)

As a cold surface high continues to build down over Scotland from Norway, this has shut down the persistent snow shower activity which has brought several fresh coverings all the way west to Glasgow. The high is also providing clearer skies and lighter winds, this promotes a slight rise in daytime temperatures but even colder nights than of […]

FRI 29 MAR: UK & IRELAND REGIONAL EASTER WEEKEND FORECAST

Scotland The pattern will remain settled right through this Easter weekend thanks to a cold high continuing to build down from Norway. This will provide plenty of sunshine and dry conditions by day and with lighter winds, temps will respond to 6 or 7C, cooler at 2 or 3C where snow remains on the ground. While daytime temps may be comfortable without the […]

March 2013 To Be UK’s Coldest Since 1962, Coldest Easter On Record On The Way?

With seemingly nonstop talk of cold, heavy snow and the fact that many areas are running colder than that of December, January and February, which amazingly were BELOW NORMAL, it’s no wonder this month is on track to be coldest since 62. Afterall, by enduring this tough past few weeks, I guess it’s somewhat of a consolation that we make the record […]

THU 28 MAR: UK & IRELAND REGIONAL FORECAST

Scotland Well I could pretty much copy and paste yesterday’s forecast and put it into today’s because there is no real change in the pattern. Conditions remain much the same with a still very cold east flow, albeit it continues to ease and night skies are becoming clearer than of late. That means nights are likely […]

March 2013 Is Turning Out COLDER Than Dec/Jan/Feb For Some In Europe!!

I thought it might be interesting to dig through some of the stats from back in January and February to see how they compare to this cold March so far over Europe and what I’ve found is quite incredible. Despite longer days, stronger sun and the fact it’s outwith meteorological winter, most European cities are seeing March as […]

Siberian Cold Flow To Continue Into UK & Ireland, Disruptive Easter Snow Unlikely!

As posted last night, the Easter snow chances have significantly diminished across the UK and indeed Ireland and it’s now looking like a cold but largely dry upcoming weekend. In saying that, snow showers can’t be ruled out but any significant ‘system snow’ is highly unlikely now as it stays well west and south as pressures will stay too […]
