An extreme pattern evolved this weekend just as Nate came ashore on the Gulf Coast, the 4th US hurricane landfall of 2017.

Our pattern has been pretty much unsettled since August and it doesn’t look as though that will change through the rest of October. That also suggests no return to warmth and equally no arrival of winter either. It’s a pattern which one can expect one day of wet and blustery followed by drier, brighter but […]

ARTICLE FROM MET OFFICE During the first half of the month, a succession of low-pressure systems tracking close to the UK brought rain to most places as fronts swept from west to […]
Each and every August through October period, like with hype of the ‘worst winter in 100 years coming’, we get the ‘100 mph hurricane heading for the UK’ headlines which only cause confusion and at times worry to the general public. Meteorologists seem to never stop having to say, this in non-science based nonsense and […]
