United Kingdom & Ireland
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland Scotland faces quite the next 24 hours packed with plenty of winter weather. Through tonight, clear skies, light winds, snowcover and very cold air aloft, will drive surface temperatures below -10C for the first time this season over the Highlands and even in rural parts of the Central Lowlands, temperatures locally may hit -7 or -8C. Expect […]
Check this out at 240 hrs off the ECMWF Deterministic. The control run is much more favourable for sustained blocking north and west of the UK which would allow the cold off Europe to push west and cover the UK and Ireland and then trap it there. The ECMWF Deterministic shows a push of mild off the […]
We continue to sit beneath an atmospheric battleground between Atlantic and arctic/continental air and for now, the Atlantic is winning but for how long? For the past week to 10 days I have made mention about the fact that snowcover will become extensive across Europe by the end of this week. This is important if the UK is […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland After a day of snow showers across the Highlands and Grampian, rain showers across the South and a cold but largely bright day in the Central Belt, tonight will see a weak frontal boundary push south bringing snow showers to eastern areas and behind it will be a reinforcing shot of colder […]
As forecasted, the snow arrived last night whittening many parts of Scotland and Northern England and although it’s been melting through today, a cold night tonight will help freeze the remaining snow on the ground and thus, slow warming through tomorrow will result in a slower melting process, so this snow should linger through this week. It will help keep nights […]
The models are turning increasingly colder with each run for the next 2 weeks across Europe and this week ahead looks tough for travellers across the continent as heavy snow will cause widespread disruption. The building cold will plunge millions into the deep freeze by week two and while cold this week, next week will be colder and […]
First of all I want to take a look at the next 48 hours which is a real headache as it’s complicated. The complicating factor is that we have a weak Atlantic frontal system trying to make inroads into the Northern UK but the question is, how does this interact with the cold air in place. Does it warm it enough […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Scotland It’s been a cold day with many areas holding on to the frost and ice all day as temps rise to only 1-2C. Sheltered areas failed to crack the freezing mark. This ‘cold base’ sets the stage for another very cold late November night but there are subtle changes compared to last night’s widespread […]
Over the next 7 days there are two potential systems which could present UK snowfall, the first being Friday of this week and the second being next Monday. In between, there will be plenty of bright, sunny weather but cold with daytime highs held at between 0-4C and where skies are clear by night, a frost […]
While the cold air is here, a lot of uncertainly lies in the forecast as mild Atlantic air tries to erode the cold over the UK late tomorrow and Friday. The question is, will the cold win out by either keeping the front back west or will it allow the front to penetrate inland but turn rain over the […]
