A stunning satellite photo from Himawari-8 showing Typhoon SOULIK, centred south of Japan.
High pressure magnet! The UK & Ireland still attracting the high pressure. This chart is the latest from the EC ensemble model and is valid for 7-11 July. Temperatures are likely to exceed 30 Celsius in places during this period.
June 2018 was a very warm month across most of Europe (relative to the 1981-2010 climatology). Map credit: @WorldClimateSvc
High pressure magnet! The UK & Ireland still attracting the high pressure. This chart is the latest from the EC ensemble model and is valid for 7-11 July.
The UK & Ireland continue to be a high pressure magnet this summer. This is the average weather map for 6-10 July as predicted by the EC ensemble model.
April 2018 was much warmer than the 1981-2010 average for mainland Europe. The map shows an estimate of the temperature anomalies.
Signs for a high pressure anomaly to become established somewhere over NW Europe in early May. Hopefully this will bring fine settled weather (with some exceptions). This chart is an example for 4-8 May.
The weather map over the next 5 days will look something like this. Low pressure anchored over western Europe will bring above average rain & below average sunshine levels, notably to parts of France, Portugal & Spain.
A neat set of maps showing the anomalies relative to 1981-2010 for precipitation, RH, soil moisture and air temperature for FEB 2018
