As alluded to since Sunday, a significant ridge is building over Europe supporting temperatures 4-8C above normal and it’s looking more likely that after a messy next few days over Northwest Europe, this warmer air will reach the UK early next week. What’s interesting is that while we have warmer air over Europe and indeed North […]

There is a lot of uncertainty over mid next week but what does look certain is that we’re set for some rather stormy weather with widespread gales and for some, severe gales with damage possible. This ties in with my autumn ideas. Remember I stated the real possibility of seeing 2-3 significant storms before the cold […]
