United Kingdom & Ireland
Happy Valentines Day! Hope you all have a good one. Today is certainly a much improved day compared to yesterday with just some passing showers but notice the sunnier skies, oh and yes.. the much milder breeze? This my friends is a sign of things to come with an even better day coming up for your […]
It has been a wild day of weather across many parts of the UK as the latest in a series of active weather fronts swept in which bumped up against cold air firmly in place. While rain fell along the coast, heavy snow quickly broke out over most inland areas. For central parts of Scotland where we […]
From New England to Old England, the very same storm system which brought havoc to the Northeast US Friday into Saturday has been making it’s way across the North Atlantic over the past 72 hours and will be making it’s presence felt on the other side of the pond tonight into Wednesday morning. After departing US shores Saturday, […]
A few Monday morning thoughts. 1) Snow still on for Wed over a good part of Scotland/England with possible disruption. 2) Rain wipes out any snow later Wed into Thurs as warmer comes in on backside. 3) Warming kicks on Thurs onwards. 4) Latest CFSv2 holds cold over UK/western Europe through Feb 20th despite coming warmth.

Although many, particularly across Ireland may be dissapointed with this winter, I would ask you to look at things from the bigger picture.

However, things will go down hill through tonight into tomorrow as a more active front advances towards the UK from the west, […]
While my recent posts have been focusing on the US with all the snow now settling into the Northeast, back here in the UK and we too have snow on the way with disruption likely during Sunday into Monday morning’s rushhour. The current cold pattern which has been pretty moderate over the past day or so will deepen […]
Due to the time of night I’m only going to put up today’s edition of ‘Vogan’s Views On Europe’ but will get more LONG RANGE thoughts and charts up for you tomorrow. Cold dominates the UK as well as all of western and central Europe for at least the next 7 days with potentially 2 […]
I’m sure you’ll have noticed that wind out there today, feeling particularly raw that’s for sure. Although the air temperatures wasn’t that bad, it was the sting in the north wind which made it feel quite bitter. We have a direct discharge straight from the arctic. This flow tends to be fairly moisture starved and so […]
I showed you last night the ECMWF upper charts and 850 temps, here’s what the latest GFS snow charts show for snow cover over Europe by Thursday AFTER a system pushes through. What I am fighting with here is how much snow do we get. I do believe there is enough cold air in place for […]
