United Kingdom & Ireland
The cold continues to deepen over the UK with models persisting in bringing in our coldest 5,000ft temperatures of the entire winter. Now that’s quite impressive given that it’s now Feb 21st. In saying that I recall seeing our second coldest night during last year (last winter), in May with a low of -6C. Stranger things […]
Scotland A cold day with a cold breeze sets the stage for what will be a very cold night in store across Scotland. The current cloudcover for many is expected to clear and with light winds temps freefall towards -2 to -4C in urban areas while -5 to -10C readings are likely outwith the urban heat island. Friday looks largely fine and dry […]
As well as the much cloudier skies, did you notice the colder feel with increase in breeze over eastern parts of the UK today? The cold front pushes through overnight but it was weak with little or no precipitation associated with it. The reason for the lack of precip with this front is simply because it’s drawing […]
Scotland The main theme over the next 72 hours is a downward trend in temperature. A cloudy day may give way to somewhat of a clearer night tonight and that means a widespread frost with lows at or below freezing. Perhaps -5C or -6C in sheltered spots which have clearest skies. Tomorrow will be brighter but highs will […]
While I am beginning to look towards spring and what are weather may have in store, there is increasing evidence to suggest a much drier pattern is setting up as we progress towards March. One key question for me is will this be a long lived shift to drier or temporary. We may also see a pattern […]
Scotland There was a distinctly spring-like feel to the air today with a nice warmth of that sun, hope you made the most of it as we won’t feel that for quite some time beyond today. Cold and frosty will be the theme during the first part of the night but clouds and a breeze picks up […]
It’s been talked about here for nearly a week now and before the previous cold ended that the return of cold would come back once again within a week and while I have ‘forecasted’ this cold, the snow aspect was more an alluding to potential and not so much a forecast. However I have been pushing the idea […]
Scotland A beautiful area of high pressure sits parked over the UK and over the past 3 days, this weather system has continued to build over our heads. This brought about a cold and frosty night and through today, a slower slower recovery meant a slightly cooler day than yesterday where it hit 13.4C in Kinlochewe. […]
This winter is not done yet Europe or the UK yet. In fact we may STILL have the worst snow event and cold to come believe it or not. The stringly negative NAO and AO, the fact that the atmosphere is nearing it’s most mature winter state and waters to the west are well above normal while the North […]
Over recent days, modeling has showed us the potential return of winter to the UK and quite possibly Ireland too from around next Wednesday onwards. The earlier indications have been there through the likely return of the negative AO and for, us.. most importantly, the NAO. Next week looks quite interesting with more oppertunity in seeing ‘disruptive […]
