United Kingdom & Ireland

Shutterstock General Synopsis In today’s UK & Ireland Regional Forecast I shall be looking at expected weather conditions right through till Saturday. I highlight expected daytime and nighttime tempeartures as well as factors such as wind chills and possible snow shower chances. A mild, stable air mass with embedded low low, mist and drizzle will quickly get replaced […]

While we have endured gloomy, grey and laden skies but nothing that could be considered cold or October-like unless your in the NW Highlands where it’s been frosty, I’ll tell ya where it has been cold and growing colder and colder by the day.. Greenland… The cold has been building over Greenland thanks to a […]

Shutterstock Scotland The bulk of the country has be stuck beneath a thick blanket of cloud which is trapped beneath an upper level ridge. These setups at this time of year can support mild temperatures, low cloud, mist and fog for days. Classic October gloom when a stable air mass is in place. Noticed it fairly mild both […]

The next few days will see an increase in dense mist, fog and cloud across particularly England and Wales with a ridge drawing mild and moist from off the near continent. It’s acting like a lid on top of a moist low level atmosphere. This supports the formation of widespread mist and fog and that lid, stops it […]

This will be the theme through tonight and while temperatures by day are cool beneath all the cloud and dampness, this has the opposite effect by night, helping hold temperatures up. The clouds act like a blanket […]

I’ve been banging on about next week’s warmth since last Sunday and certainly that appears highly likely now but the question for next week is how much sunshine do we get because that will make all the difference as to how warm we get. If there is decent sunshine then I think 21C for London is very possible […]

Shutterstock Scotland The unsettled theme continues through this afternoon after a wet morning although we have seen some break in the rain during the early afternoon. Unfortunately that won’t last as we push towards the evening commute. The heavy and persistent rains which affected eastern Northern Ireland through much of today extends across the Channel and into […]
