United Kingdom & Ireland
The UK will see opposites on weather over the next 12 hours following a wet and dreary day across the South, though it’s an improving picture down along southernmost counties up into the London area this afternoon. While rather cloud and wet across the South, it’s been glorious and warm feeling in the sun up across Scotland following […]
Today has been a much improved day across London and the Southeast compared to yesterday where heavy showers and thunderstorms roamed the region, impacting and disrupting some events including the cycling and tennis to name just two. As I glance at the current models, the outlook doesn’t give an overly warm picture nor a particularly […]
Olympic Weather: Thunderstorms Struck Today But A Brighter Monday Is On Tap Before More Rain Tuesday
As expected, the rains arrived across the Southeast with some decent thunderstorms producing local downpours, gusty winds and decent lightning displays. The good news is that Monday looks drier, brighter and a little warmer as there is a break between systems tomorrow. The bad news is that this dry, sunny slot is short lived as more rain […]
I guess a good reason behind the well above normal precipitation which set in back in April and continued ever since across the UK and Scandinavia is thanks, in part to the flip from back to back La Ninas to an El Nino, helped by the still warm North Atlantic Oscillation and prodominantly -NAO. The big question is what […]
Good afternoon and hope your all enjoying your weekend so far. Did you enjoy the opening ceremony? It certainly was quite the specticle and certainly makes one proud to be British. Hope you enjoyed the warm sunshine last week because we’re set for a reality check which will take us through the next 7 days on […]
Any showers which affected parts of the Southeast today into tonight will clear and this should leave a fine, dry and fairly bright Saturday though considerably cooler and less humid than today has been. It was yet another 80+F day in London with high humidity but tomorrow expect highs to struggle reaching 70F and by […]
The trough plunging into the UK behind tomorrow’s front is deep with thicknesses down to 546 over Scotland, sub 560 over London which supports very cold air aloft. An associated cut off low within the trough will keep an unsettled as well as chilly theme throughout this weekend with daytime temps holding at only 14-16C in Scotland, northern England and […]
I stand by my original forecast for tomorrow in which I believe thunderstorms WILL pep up during the mid to late morning hours onwards as the core of hottest, most humid air over France will get pushed north with mini fronts enhancing the steamy air mass firmly established over the Southeast of England. It’s not only the southbound cold front as […]
It’s been another hot day across the southern half of the British Isles, a phrase I rarely use but it pops up a couple of times a year when the temperature surpasses 30C (86F). Though we await the official high from the Met Office, the temperature has topped at least 31C (88F) today around London making this the […]
We’ve made it! summer is here.. well for the southern half of the UK that is. While temps soared to a balmy 86°F or 30°C this afternoon over Great London, temps only got to between 16-17°C over a cloudy, damp Northern Ireland, northern England and southern Scotland. This corridor of dreary weather marked a boundary seperating the very […]
