For those of us living particularly in the North and Central parts of the British Isles, we’ll need to get ready to batten down the hatches come tomorrow as we are set to experience the remnants of Leslie as it meets a strong Azores ridge to the south, these two systems will squeeze the pressure field […]
Yes, on this day last year, we had an intense low sweep across Scotland packing 80-90 mph winds which caused damage, disruption. What’s significant about this system is that it was once once Hurricane Katia and this storm in particular I find is of particular interest because this is the name which replaced Katrina following the devastation caused […]
It was on this day a year ago that Ex-Hurricane Katia slammed Scottish shores producing damaging 70-80 mph winds and huge swells. A year on and we’ve another once-tropical cyclone set to impact our lives here in the Northern UK. For many days now, the charts have shown once Hurricane Leslie, taking the recurve path […]
It’s been a pretty remarkable hurricane season this year when you think that there’s been a significant struggle for any tropical storm to organise and become a hurricane within the traditional breeding grounds. Joe Bastardi has alluded to this frequently on this. Each system has fought near constant dry air and or shear and Leslie has been no […]
[important] London’s Temperature Is Set To Drop 13 or 14C From Today’s 28/29C To Tuesday or Wednesday’s 15/16C [/important] Yesterday saw a respectable 28.2C in London and with a reading of 25.3C at barely 11.30am this morning, readings are well on their way to 29C somewhere in Greater London or the Southeast. The east of England should see the 26C line reach Yorkshire […]

Well for some, we may well see snow across several regions of the Northern Hemisphere next week thanks to several lobes of modified early season cold pools sink south into the mid-latitudes. What first caught my attention was […]
[warning] LONDON & SE FORECAST: Temperatures rise near 27C today, 28 or 29C Saturday, Sunday, Significant cooldown arrives next week! [/warning] Unfortunately for Scotland and Northern Ireland it looks to be somewhat of a dissapointing weekend with lower heights supporting cloud, showers and a west breeze which will make for a very contrasting weather map compared to further south. […]
The pattern across the hemisphere is rather interesting these days when you take a step back and look at the broader picture. We’ve just seen two unusually deep lows form in the high latitudes at roughly the same time. One over the Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska which bombed out at around 974mb, the […]
Got outdoor plans for this weekend? BBQ perhaps? Go on… why not, cause it’s going to look and feel like summer, not autumn! It was last weekend I started alluded to the fact that beyond the first half off this week, the second half is going to be picture of building sun, sand, sea and warmth once the Icelandic […]
