A cold spell coming, for the time of year, in early May for large parts of Europe. Colours show the departures from average for the period 2-6 May.
love this timeline showing some important headlines in our learning of climate - from @MccipOrgUK
Satellite estimates of rapidly falling cloud top temperatures suggest plenty of thunderstorm activity over Portugal & Spain. #cumulonimbus #Iberia @eumetsat_users
A very large high pressure anomaly, centred over Scandinavia and impacting most of Europe will erode as a low pressure anomaly develops near Iceland and the British Isles. Weather patterns will turn unsettled after a warm, pleasant spell in NW Europe.
Some winners, some losers in the sunshine stakes, but mainly winners! Satellite imagery from @DundeeSat
Thunderstorm clouds are developing over SE Spain. These will move inland during the day. Satellite estimates from @eumetsat @eumetsat_users
Latest (night time) satellite imagery from Himawari-8 showing tropical cyclones Veronica and Trevor impacting the NW and NE coasts of Australia.
Tropical Storms Veronica and Trevor are expected to significantly strengthen over the next few days. #Australia
Fairly strong signals for a high pressure anomaly over the next 15 days, which suggests below average precipitation for large parts of Europe
The Met Office seasonal model predicts a high pressure anomaly over NW Europe during Spring & early Summer, which would favour drier & warmer than average weather overall.
