United Kingdom & Ireland
UPDATE: While it’s a cold, cloudy 6C this afternoon in Aberdeen and just 4C in places, just 50 miles to the west and with sunny skies it’s an early summer-like 18.6C currently in Braemar. Today mark’s the UK’s warmest of 2016 to date! As you can see in the below visible satellite, there’s a lot […]
The North Sea is at it’s coldest of the year and when you’ve an omega blocking high centred over the Norwegian Sea, it tends to be cold, cloudy and breezy down the East Coast of the UK but opposite in the west. When wind blows off a large body of water this time of year, air temperature […]
Strong, well stacked high pressure from surface to upper atmosphere at this time of year means near perfect visibility and highly contrasting temperature fluctuation and variability. Check out these great images from space yesterday. These clear skies made for great view of the Highlands yesterday. I captured this shot yesterday evening in Fort William. Aonach […]
Change is in the wind as we progress from winter and edge ever closer to summer 2016. I doubt the second half of spring 2016 (April-May) will be anywhere near as soggy as last year given the El Nino is weakening, not strengthening.

Well my friend Petr and I took off early once again Thursday morning (March 10th) for a trip up to Glencoe. It was a very different morning to back in February when we went from pouring rain in Cumbernauld to snowy conditions over Drumochter to white out conditions on Bynack More. Thanks to high pressure, this […]
It’s an improving picture over the UK with today’s rain largely confined to NW Scotland tomorrow. It’s predominantly dry and bright for most, however the coolest air will be over London and the Southeast while the mildest air will be across Scotland thanks to high pressure centred north of Scotland which means cool easterly winds are pegging back […]
Following the patchy light rains of today and across the Northwest tomorrow, high pressure is building and becomes well established over the British Isles early next week. This blocking high positioned across the UK and really extending all the way to Siberia is splitting the east bound trans-Atlantic jet, forcing one branch north into Norway and the other south into […]
It’s been quite a different morning compared to yesterday across particularly the South of England. Clear sky and light wind started the day yesterday with Benson, Oxfordshire shivering at -7.1C. This morning, thanks to a deep low skirting the South Coast bringing coastal gales, heavy rain as well as some hill snow, it’s +7.7C at Benson. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Yesterday morning. This […]
Hope you enjoyed the crisp tranquillity of recent days over the UK because we have strong system heading southern UK/northern France bound tonight into tomorrow. This heralds change into the weekend and next week. For a while now, we’ve experienced colder air with frequent northerly flow. That however changes follow a spell of stormy weather tonight and […]
It’s classic March! The weekend just gone was a chilly one with snow showers, supressed daytime temps and icy NNE breeze coupled with cold, frosty nights. By this upcoming weekend, expect it to be near opposite with a taste of spring on the way. The ridge intensifies further into early next week and this could […]
