United Kingdom & Ireland
Well we’ve just ended our first month of meteorological summer 2012 and boy has it not been a dissapointment to all you sun worshippers out there. I think we all could have done with a little more sun, warmer temps and less rain. I thought I would do a quick post this morning which takes […]
Some initial thoughts before discussing the week ahead… Ok, I admit I too am getting a little fed up with this stubborn, boring, un-summer-like pattern. Basically since 2006 we have had poor summers, especially up here in Scotland. At least for you folks down in the South of England, you manage to live close enough to […]
In the video below, I take a look at the remaining days of June and ALL of July via the ECMWF model and it’s interpretation of the upcoming pattern. At this time, the model shows a lack of any real warmth or settled weather for the UK and Ireland. It suggests a continuation of the fast west […]
Yesterday saw one of the greatest displays of wild weather the UK in our lifetime. What created this violent and spectacular weather display could be seen days ago. When both Cork and Belfast was under water the night before, this was the sure sign of what was to come over the mainland the next day. I […]
It has been a dramatic past 24 hours of weather over Ireland and the British Isles with the most spectacular arguably in the last 6 hours over the Midlands as severe thunderstorms (pretty rare for the UK) produced large hail, torrential downpours, damaging wind gusts and constant thunder and lightning. There have been unconfirmed reports of one […]
[warning] THE FLOODING SEEN IN BELFAST TONIGHT IS A SURE SIGN OF WHAT’S TO COME FOR MANY ACROSS THE UK DURING FRIDAY, FLASH FLOODING IS OF REAL CONCERN IN AREAS! [/warning] I have been concerned for days now about the potentially explosive weather we may face during Wednesday or Thursday of this week as low pressure and heat/humidity collide. Tonight […]
[error] A BAND OF RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS IRELAND TONIGHT, WESTERN AND CENTRAL UK DURING FRIDAY LIKELY BECOMING THUNDERY. EMBEDDED T-STORMS WILL DROP HIGH RAIN TOTALS IN SHORT PERIODS OF TIME CAUSING FLOODING! [/error] We continue to see an increase in warmth and humidity ahead of a front working across Ireland and into the western UK tonight through tomorrow! Over the […]
Today has been one long day with a rise of 1.45am. Once home from my daily 300 mile drive I had a brief time to start my TS Debby write-up before meeting with my web designer. I spent from 3 till 7pm this evening talking with him about various aspects of the site and […]
The next few days will be interesting as we see the warmth and humidity surge north over the UK from Iberia. It will become muggy but what I’m toiling with tonight is just how much of a likihood we see of big storms developing. While the warmest air will be over England and Wales where by […]
Over the next few days we’ll see temps and humidity continue rising over the UK and Ireland as a ridge lifts north from an increasingly HOT Spain and Portugal where highs away from the coast should easily top 100, some central and southern interior locales may near 110F. I’ve been onto this warming idea since the start […]
