United Kingdom & Ireland
One very impressive June storm system continues to batter the British Isles and I think it is safe to say, it has lived up to it’s billing. After seeing wind gusts clock 70 mph along exposed coasts with one gust clocking an impressive 82 mph at Needles on the western tip of the Isles of Wight, 50-60 mph winds continue to […]
[warning]60-70MPH WIND GUSTS EXPECTED TONIGHT ALONG IRELAND’S WEST/SOUTH COAST AND SOUTHWEST ENGLAND/WALES[/warning] It’s been closely monitored throughout this week and tonight we will feel the full affects of an unusually deep Atlantic low as it sweeps northeast between Ireland and Wales tonight!

It’s been outlined to you since Sunday but I have been keeping an eye on this potentially stormy late week scenario since last week. I held off a few days before releasing this as a forecast in case it was just a blip. Now it’s reality and it could very well be an interesting day of weather tomorrow. I was starting to […]
After a pleasant and warm feeling day with decent spells of sunshine, the rains are here in Central Scotland and across many areas thanks to the arrival of the next front. The next few days will see one large low, sprawlled out over the North Atlantic become elongated underneath a powerful Greenland high. The stretching out of this huge low […]
We’ve seen a predominantly POSITIVE NAO throughout the past winter with a significant late December/early January warm spell on both sides of the Atlantic correlated well with what likely was the strongest + phase of the NAO. We saw another strong positive episode in March which brought the off-the-scale heat wave to North America and record warmth over Scotland […]
Good Afternoon! Hope your enjoying your long Jubilee weekend. While glancing at the models, we have little to shout about this next 10 days regarding warmth over Ireland, UK and NW Europe as a whole. It’s a different story in southern and eastern parts of the continent where temperatures are rising into the […]
While it’s been a grey, dissapointing later part of the Jubilee weekend for the majority of the United Kingdom with plenty of wet weather across the southern half, Monday looks to see clearance from this rain and a better day is in store. Highs will be supressed but slightly up from Sunday poor early June values of […]
JUNE COULD HAVE SIMILARITIES TO MAY WITH COOL, DAMP FIRST HALF, FOLLOWED BY A WARM SECOND HALF We’ve just came off a positive NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) which followed a cold first 18 days of May on the heels of a super wet April. By glancing at the chart on the left off Policlimate.com we […]
What a change from just 72 hours ago when large swathes of England enjoyed glorious bright sunshine and warm temperatures soaring as high as 26C. While we’re seeing a sharp temperature drop from mid 20sC down to high teens today, we’ll see a further and sharper drop tomorrow with Sunday, considered the main day of the jubilee celebrations […]
The much anticipated Jubilee weekend has arrived and and for many, the question is how’s the weather going affect our outdoor plans? In short, we have a north-south split for Saturday with decent sunshine across northern and central areas of the UK but it will be cloudier down across the midlands and south with a chance of some […]
