United Kingdom & Ireland
It seems the ground has been saturated across much of Britain since April. I believe the trigger for this wild turn from drought to flood was the transition from a back to back La Nina to El Nino. A possible contributor to the ‘excessive’ rainfall this year may be the cold PDO vs unusually warm AMO, the same warm AMO which produced a record arctic […]
If I had much in the way of hair, I would be pulling it out right now as I glance at some of these models. While the NAO is seen to go positive again, the GFS and even the ECMWF has a much milder look than what I would like for the UK and a large part of Europe […]
The new run of the ECMWF has come out and I really wanted to wait till this came out before posting on next week. Firstly, it’s worth pointing out that while an Iberian high tries to pump warmth into the UK this weekend and likely will produce 14, maybe 15C by Sunday along with heavy, flooding rains, models […]
Scotland While one system clears away, another quickly follows and just in time for the weekend. A fairly dry first half of the night but beyond midnight and into early Saturday, the next batch of very wet and windy weather advances north into Dumfries and Galloway. This organised and large area of heavy rain will envelop all parts by […]
While we know the weekend will be rather wet and windy, many of you are wondering what next week may have in store. If I am being honest, next week is giving me a headache, there is so much on the table with very mild air and super cold air running close to each other […]
If you think it’s wild now, we may not have seen anything yet as more wet and windy weather is in store for this weekend. We find ourselves underneath a an atmospheric crossroads. A real battle between and warm and cold air masses come together right above our heads. Often, deep plumes of moisture will ride […]
Scotland It’s a very wet evening after a wet and windy day across much of the country but beyond 11pm or Midnight rains should ease from the southwest, eventually easing across Glasgow and into the west Highlands and by dawn Friday, rain and hill snow should be confined to the northeast. However, much of this evening will continue to be a very wet […]
Scotland After a largely dry but cloudy day, the much awaited heavy rains have now arrived and are pushing up through the Central Lowlands making for a poor evening commute. The rain will be a noteworthy feature for much of the next 24 hours so no surprise that there is an AMBER warning out by the Met […]
As we progress towards Christmas, for many, perhaps most, the thought of a mild spell will be good news, especially if your heading to the High Street to grab last minute gifts before the big day. A warm run up to Christmas this year will also be great news for travellers. But for those in search […]
Scotland It’s been a fairly decent mid-December day across Scotland with an odd mist or fog patch the exception which likely kept your temperature nearer freezing today. A mix of sun and cloud dominated with just an odd shower idown the east coast. Tonight will turn cool with rural lows near to 2-3C early but through the night, […]
