United Kingdom & Ireland

The latest system to push into the cold dome sitting over the UK will bring a fresh covering of snow to southwest and parts of south-central England today. This occurs while more northern parts from northern England up into Scotland get a break following a rough past 36 to 48 hours. For you folks in the South, you […]

Many southern and central areas of the UK are dealing with yet another snow event and many northern areas will deal with nasty conditions later tonight, tomorrow and even into Tuesday. Be aware of very strong to gale-force winds blowing in off the North Sea which will bring a blizzard to parts of the North Pennines and even eastern parts. Dangerous […]

The next area of snow is now working into the Southeast of England and through today this band will slowly spread north. South-central and western areas look likely to escape much of this snow with snow showers possible but expect little in the way of accumulation.If you live anywhere from Kent up through Greater London, East […]

A large swath of Britain encountered it’s worst snowstorm since at least December 2010 yesterday with lingering heavy snow showers bringing further accumulations to eastern parts overnight thanks to that ice cold easterly. This is the very setup I thought would come in December and while colder than normal, it never really materialised, thankfully, this time around it has come […]

Well I am back home after a wonderful 2 week holiday and boy what a difference a couple of weeks make. Just a couple days after leaving for New Jersey, Cairngorm Summit which is well over 4,000ft above sea level, struck an exceptional high of 13C, the warmest on record for January and 10 days later, we are all dealing […]

An overnight front brought some snow showers across parts of England and Wales but a much more active front, associated with a deepening Atlantic low will advance across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England tonight into tomorrow. This will likely bring the biggest snowstorm since December 2010 to some, if not many parts. Right now, it […]

Disappointed that you’ve not seen then snow yet? Don’t worry, because there is a set-up coming together Friday which looks highly likely to bring a SIGNIFICANT snow event to western and central areas of Great Britain as warm, moist air collides with cold, dense air. Through Friday AM, a shield of moisture will spread into […]

The remainder of January looks cold for the UK as well as much of Europe and even looking all the way out to mid-February, this cold pattern looks to be going nowhere. Intensity of the cold will likely fluctuate but overall, there is no real return to mild weather over the next 2-3 weeks and really the […]

Snow and ice now dominates the UK pattern as forecast weeks ago but what the question remains, is there more snow on the way and particularly to areas that haven’t seen any yet, and how long will this cold spell last. In this post I’ll show you the snow potential through the rest of this week […]
