Scotland After several days under brilliant sunshine, skies clouded over this afternoon thanks to the presence of a weak front, this will keep the cloud over most areas tonight into tomorrow and so overnight lows should hold slightly above freezing. During Friday, the best of the bright or sunny skies will be largely confined to […]
Very briefly this morning I wanted to show you what the Jamstec long range model was showing for the upcoming spring (March through May) and the summer (June through August) was saying. If you’ve been reading in recent days I think you’ll have gathered that I’m clearly linking now the current ‘dry spell’ to a potential longer term […]
The dry, stable air mass continues to sit over British air space and in fact with pressures rising across England, the sunshine has extended further south today bringing not only much needed sunshine but also warmer temperatures. The persistently clear skies, light winds and dry air has allowed for another day with large diurnal temperature swings, particularly over sheltered […]
Scotland Enjoy this final day of near wall to wall sunshine as the upper ridge overhead backs west just enough to allow a weak front to slide south over the country tonight through Thurs. While little precipitation falls, an increase in cloud will be the noticable feature and with more cloud, night temps will be up […]
High pressure stands firm over Scotland, which is ‘capping’ of the atmosphere bringing near cloud free skies, while positioned far enough to the north that England and Wales are under the cold, cloudy northeast flow around this high, the UK is very much split right now with heavy cloudy, drizzle and a cold breeze which […]
Scotland High pressure remains firmly established over Scotland with a ‘capped’ atmosphere keeping most areas cloud-free. The dryness of this air is allowing large diurnal temp fluctuations (temp between night and day) with cold, frosty nights and very low readings esp over the Highlands but by day, temps quickly warm once the sun comes up to between […]
Scotland The glorious fine, dry and settled conditions covering Scotland looks to continue through much of this week with abundant sunshine lasting through at least Wednesday. The dry conditions look to last throughout the week with just a small threat of shower activity, mainly confined to the far north. Enjoy highs of 6-8C by day but […]
Happy Monday to you all. Hope your weekend was a great one. I am a happy man this morning given the fact that this is another dry week for the UK and perhaps a good sign for later down the road. As expected the air mass is warming as the cold vortex devorces from the […]
It’s been one of those winter’s where we’ve had the snow and had the cold, the whole thing I would say I’ve been disappointed with is, if only we could have gotten both together. The air mass sitting over the UK this weekend is the coldest of winter, certainly when you factor in the 850mb temperatures. […]
Scotland The cold high remains holds firm over Scottish air space and so the cold theme continues right through the weekend. Cloud will be stubborn and while this may in fact hold daytime temps down with a lack of sunshine, it will significantly hold temps up by night. This air mass would have the ability in producing the […]
