Watching Helene

First Update, Watching Helene

Helene is expected so far to strike the UK, as a low pressure system, windstorm. Not a Hurricane, so far looking at the GFS run it seems she could strike next week on around Tuesday, she could be bringing 60-70MPH to Western areas in particularly, and parts of the South West could see rather strong winds too, as that's where the storm is expected to come up from.

She is expected to track North East through the UK, generally missing Scotland and N.I with the strong winds, but they could be effected with some rather heavy rain in both areas, according to the GFS. So far England and Wales looks mostly unscathed by heavy rain, however that is subject to change depending on Helene's path through the UK and Ireland.

She could be bringing some rather hot weather with her too, it looks like specifically in England where temperatures in the mid twenties look likely right now.

I expect that both Met Éireann and the Met Office would release warnings for this storm, probably along the Eastern areas of Ireland and Western areas of England or Wales. However I'm not qualified to give out warnings, i'm just going off what I see from the GFS. So keep up to date with your local Met Agency.

Spring Forecast

Spring Forecast March I'm expecting an unsettled, chillier than average or average start to March but not particularly cold. But quite quickly I expect high pressure to reestablish over the UK, possibly mid-month. Which for a time could bring quite mild weather for March. I expect it to become quite a bit drier also, maybe very dry, the dry weather could be alleviated in some areas by one off downpours here and there. In my personal opinion, I do think we could see some exceptionally mild weather later in March too. That's just my opinion. April in my view I think things may switch a bit to be on the cooler side, northerly winds could become prominent in this month, I do think there could be some snowfall when we do get northerly winds but whereabouts is obviously unknown at this stage. But personally I think April will be a cooler than average or average month. Rainfall I think it could be a bit drier than average for some parts or on the average side. (Here...

Winter Forecast 2018/19

Winter Forecast 2019 Not for definite, and my personal opinion, from what I've seen. I think this Winter personally will be quite chilly, becoming colder, with a quite chilly December,  (not overly cold) with some snow, possibly similar to last year, but I think the snow in December won't come as early as 2017, probably a bit later. I don't think that December 2018, will be a severe cold month, no December 2009, 1995, or 2010 (of course) But I don't see a overly mild December like 2015, 2016 etc. I do think that December 2018 will probably be similar to 2017, in terms of temperatures possibly a bit milder. Overall quite an average month in terms of rainfall, due to a very mild and unsettled first half, we'll probably see some northerly incursions giving a few snow showers, we will probably see high pressure interludes more than usual, but at the same time I don't think this December will solely be dominated by high pressure. This December will probabl...
