United Kingdom & Ireland
A massive late season snowstorm which hammered a region stretching from Germany through the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern France and Southeast England may go down in the history books as one of the worst in March as hundreds become stranded on the roads, rail and airports. Hundreds of thousands lost power in Northern France with Paris all but grinding to a […]
Scotland Today was less windy and therefore less cold than yesterday with 6C in sunnier Western areas, cooler in the East. Through this evening, while the bulk of the country should loose any cloud that’s worked down from the north, and this will allow for another cold night with a widespread frost, snow showers become frequent up and down the […]
Scotland After one of the coldest March day’s in several years, tonight may see lows widely fall to between -4 to -8C beneath clear skies and with winds falling light. Some sheltered spots of particularly the Southern Uplands may see temps dip below -10, perhaps rivalling the -13C seen last night at Aboyne and Kinbrace. Following the bitter […]
Harsh winter conditions are whipping across Germany, the Low Countries, Britain, France and Ireland with biting 40-50 mph winds blowing straight from the Scandinavian ice box. Along the boundary between mild and frigid, heavy snowfall is breaking out, bringing crippling snowfall to Germany yesterday and now bringing blizzard-like conditions today to Northern France where as […]
The coldest air we’ve seen all winter is now entering UK airspace and even here in Lennoxtown, north Glasgow the snow showers are blowing in so no matter where you are in the UK through today, you may see some snow flakes flying, even in western areas. The air blowing across the north sea is […]
It is tough to forecast snow here across the UK and Ireland at the best of times but in March it’s even more challenging as you have multiple factors to consider which perhaps you wouldn’t during mid winter including potentially warmer ground and higher sun angle which radiates more energy through clouds and down to the surface […]
The coldest air mass of winter is on the way and many of you may be wondering about snow. I have been slow to mention snow because of the uncertainty ahead, a lot has to do with the fight that goes on at this time of year but while I think many may even stuggle […]
We know it’s turning cold through this weekend but I want to break down the details and the question I ask is how cold will it get early next week across the UK and Ireland? In the post yesterday I spoke of the incredible 850mb temperatures depicted by the model with the latest run of the ECMWF perhaps even colder than last night with -10 […]
Scotland The cold theme becomes increasingly more noticable as we progress towards the weekend. Precipitation will turn to snow even to somewhat lower levels tonight across Grampian so prepare for tricky driving up over higher routes. Elsewhere tonight it’s feeling cold in the brisk east wind with off and on showers, some of which will be […]
I’ve made mention of the 2009-10 winter throughout this season and was first highlighted back in autumn as my key analog to this winter. I gave my reasons as to why I believed this winter would be like 2009-10 with mild spells but always interupted by spells of winter with the SECOND half of the season being […]
