United Kingdom & Ireland
Days ago I made a statement which gave a 90F for London and 80F for Scotland and I am going to continue holding to that idea just now. As it stands, heights build to strongest levels Friday through Sunday but Sunday perhaps sees a front work in from the west which could bring some interesting […]
Following a wild weekend of weather for many throughout the UK with thunderstorms producing funnel clouds and flash flooding, things are set to turn increasingly more settled as high pressure begins to build in from the southwest towards the mid to later part of this week. The stubborn low which deepened and stalled off Ireland and […]
Dramatic Past 36 Hours of Funnel Clouds and Flood Rains Over The UK (Includes Amazing Photos/Video!)
It’s safe to say that the weather in the past 36 hours has been rather wild for some while for others it’s been quiet, sunny and warm. With a significant spin of energy off the Southwest of Britain, cold air aloft and warmth at the surface with sun boiling the pot. Today and even yesterday […]
Well it looks as though Sunday will follow in Saturday’s footsteps of a tame, quiet start BUT with that low over SW England which has a nice cold layer over mild and as the sun begins to heat the surface, so that contrast between warm surface and cold aloft grows larger. The larger the contrast and greater the vertical motion and with […]
The ECMWF is looking interesting from mid to late next week with potential for another mini warm surge. As it stands just now and with the current model run, mid to upper 80s for Southern England, mid-70s for Scotland is possible by the close of next week but I will be curious to see what the new model […]
The past few days has seen some decent spells of sun with scattered, hit or miss showers. When the sun has been shinning it’s felt pretty warm and overall, the past couple of days haven’t been bad at all. Unfortunately that looks to change to a certain degree this weekend though I am optimistic we can still […]
Today was a much improved day up here across Scotland as compared to yesterday as the front pushed through. The beautiful low spinning to the west of Ireland has been deepening over the past 36 hours as all the energy flowing in aboard an unseasonably strong summer jet slams up against the big high over […]
With a large low with deep central pressure spinning away off Ireland, rains will continue feeing in tonight. Thankfully we will see widespread improvment tomorrow with a more sunshine and shower regime kicking in and this looks likely to become the theme over the next 5-7 days at least. While eastern Europe remains dominated by high pressure and hot, mostly […]
Although there is nothing official, it appears as though, up here in Scotland (likely other parts of UK/Ireland too), we’ve just had our COOLEST, WETTEST, CLOUDIEST JULY ON RECORD depending upon where you are. According to a tweet this afternoon by STV’s Sean Batty, Glasgow and Salsburgh, N Lanarkshire had their wettest July while Eskdalemuir, Dumfries and Galloway, which […]
We’re all now beginning to cast our eyes out and towards the autumn and eventually winter season as summer 2012 enters it’s final meteorological month. I intend to keep checking back with the model long range runs and show you and explain what’s going on and where I am going with my forecast which will be […]
