United Kingdom & Ireland
Over the next 24-36 hours we’re are going to see the little blip in the road I alluded to a few days ago in the post which stated the South of England should be mostly dry, sunny and warm for the next 10 days. After tomorrow I could see mostly sunny skies, no rain and above normal temps through at […]
A very steep pressure field is setting up over the Atlantic between deepening Icelandic low and strong Azores high. Bteween the expected bombing out at 965mb tomorrow am and the 1030 ridge, very strong upper level winds are likely to mix down the the surface thanks to alignment with good vertically ‘stacked’ winds from jet stream level […]
For several days now the ECMWF, GFS and other models have been persistent in jumping on the idea of a good spell of weather for pretty much all of the UK from Wednesday onwards. Even over Northern Ireland and across to Scotland where we naturally have fronts swinging through or nearby enough to provide cloudy, cool and […]
With the exceptions of Scotland, Northern Ireland and perhaps northern England where the next batch of weather has moved in, further south, thanks to building heights and warmth from the Azores, it’s a generally decent day with plenty of warm, hazy sunshine to be had. This decent weather marks a trend to better weather overall in 7-10 […]
For those in search of seeing some wild weather from Hurricane Kirk here across the British Isles and Ireland next week, well you’ll be sorely dissapointed I’m afraid as models continue to show this feature disappear off the map by day 5 as it’s absorbed within the Azores high. Saturday-Sunday pose opposites from north to […]
This summer, like recent ones have been somewhat of a dissapointment which extend all the way back to the soaker of 2007 where this ‘wet cycle’ appears to have began. You have you go back to 2006 to find the last truely warm and dry summer here for all of the UK. Summers before 2007 appeared to […]
Now that we have Hurricane Kirk out over the central Atlantic and the fact that it’s intensified, that will help Kirk feel those upper level steering winds and the weakness in the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Certainly looking 4-5 days out it could appear as though Kirk could take a run at the UK by riding over top of […]
Unfortunately I have nothing particularly positive to say about our forthcoming 5-7 day period as we are firmly in the firing line of a strong and zonal jet stream which will continue to throw low pressure our way for the forseeable future. However things are going to settle down somewhat over the southern half of Britain from […]
Tired of all this wet weather? Yes, I know I certainly am. Ireland and Northern Ireland as well as the Northwest and far north of Scotland has seen a very windy spell over the past 12 to 18 hours thanks to a deep low nearest you. Elsewhere, while breezy, the main story has really been […]
Following a wet and very showery day for many yesterday., today was much better with less wind in the south and less showers thanks to a small bubble of high pressure which seperates the lows. While yesterday low pushes across the North Sea towards southern Scandi, another low which is much stronger will spread our […]
