A near stalled frontal boundary seperates the north with south. Along the slow southward moving front today, rains have been persistent and at times heavy. Here in Lennoxtown, it took till late afternoon for the rains to finally stop while temps soared to 28C at Writtle in Essex this afternoon. The front will hold over […]
In this post I shall take a look at the El Nino, it’s role and importance of strength and position over the equatorial Pacific.

It’s finally here, no not the Olympics but some decent warm weather!

Good evening, hope your enjoying your weekend so far. Certainly been nice to see dry weather across the UK along with sunnier skies and warmer air.

Tonight and through tomorrow we have another rather wet night to contend with across the Republic, Northern […]
The upcoming week will remain unsettled but warmer air will attempt to make inroads but shall be greatly tempered by low pressure spreading plenty of cloud and wet weather streaming from off the Atlantic. Although I think the remainder of this month stays with the unsettled theme, the good news is models are hinting at warmer air […]
