After what has been an unprecedented warm and dry summer for most of western and northwestern Europe, there is considerable consensus among the weather models that we are settled into a period of seasonal weather for the time of year. That will mean, cooler than of late temperatures...

Most of western Europe is starting to cool down after the recent high temperatures of the last week. A cooler zonal flow is pushing into northwestern Europe sparking off some intense thunderstorms and downpours through Belgium, eastern Netherlands and Germany. It looks like the UK, the low...

Some of the models are projecting close to hitting 40C across interior southern Spain on Thursday through Saturday. The usual hotspots such as Sevilla and Cordoba are the ones to watch, it's possible a few locations might even exceed that by late afternoon. The overnights don't look like...

Yikes!! This one escaped me but there is some serious heat over Uzbekistan at the moment. Bukhar is currently at 44.6C, but I would be confident some of the desert regions to the south went to 45C+ which would break all time records for May. The attached chart clearly shows the hot plume...

There's been reports of a very strong earthquake near the islands of Kasos. USGS reporting a magnitude 6.0 quake. The tsunami warnings that followed were quickly dropped, but tremors were felt over much of the eastern Med. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000pz2p/executive

I would not be surprised if several countries in northwestern Europe announce drought conditions soon. The UK and the Netherlands have both declared spring 2025 to be the driest on record (so far), and we still have two more weeks of spring to go before we officially hit summer. Here in the...

An upper level trough is nicely situated over the Bay of Biscay, there are some key ingredients coming together that could produce some large hail and slow moving heavy precipitation storm cells over Catalonia and into Southern France. In weather patterns, with an upper level trough, nearly...

Due to the orientation of the blocking pattern over north western Europe, a late and very cold plunge of air is descending down through eastern Europe bringing some very cold temperatures (for the time of year) as far south as Greece and parts of Italy. For those taking a vacation to the...

Probably a common theme for the low countries and UK these last few days, there have been some large diurnal variations being recorded. Not very often we see this, but the time of year and low humidity with this warm airmass has helped create these values. Rotterdam airport recorded -2 to 18.3C...

Or rather it's now ex-tropical cyclone Alfred as it has been rapidly weakening - still a lot of rain associated with the storm however... Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred 22U

Missed this one, but wow.... Poland recorded what could be it's coldest night on record a few nights ago. Tatra mountains are in the south, close to Slovakia. -41.13c is just below the previous record way back in 1929 of -40.6c. Not sure if this report has to be validated first before it...

Some of the media outlets are as always over cooking the weather forecast for the next dew days, favouring dramatic headlines rather than fact!! Spring heatwave and all that baloney! However, it's looking like an early dose of spring weather for Thursday afternoon and Friday, with Friday being...

We've got some new charts online in the last day, and hopefully any bugs that there are have been ironed out!! 4 times a day fronts and surface plots Hourly temperature and dewpoint contours 4 times a day relative humidity 4 times a day sea surface temperature contours...

Forecast to make landfall at the end of the week, Zelia is expected to bring destructive winds in the 120 to 130 mph (200 kph) range upon landfall before quickly weakening as the cyclone tracks south into western Australia.

Well potentially, it's looking like from this weekend temperatures start to take a tumble across northern Europe with slightly colder than average values as we head toward the middle of the month and likely rather quiet too, with the pattern taking an anti-cyclonic pattern across the north...

Apparantly Rollingstone in Queensland, Australia has seen over 1200mm of totalled rainfall the last five days. Other areas of Queensland have been inundated with historic rainfall quantities adding to the major and deadly floods in northeast Australia.
