I think the 12 UTC anomaly chart is much more informative than the 12 UTC wind chill chart. There were negative wind chill values down the east coast and on any high ground. I notice as the axis of the ridge from the intense anticyclone Keywan slipped south...
The BBC weathercasters are already making a play about how high the windchill factor will be across England and Wales on Sunday, so I thought I’d just make a point in saying that there’s also a strong wind chill across Scotland today. But of course that’s not very...
There seems to be no respite in the exceptional warmth that we have seen across much of Europe, Scandinavia and western Russia this winter. Mean temperature anomalies for the first thirteen days of March are close to +10°C across the Ukraine, it’s no wonder that the SST’s in...
It’s a very mild afternoon across much of England, that’s thanks to the disintegrating remains of a warm sector that most of the area is still sat in. Temperature anomalies at 12 UTC were widely between 5 and 7°C above the long-term average, and at Weybourne in North...
I normally watch the weather spot at 2.30 PM each day on the BBC News channel on most days, it’s a real education, but why has it taken the BBC weathercasters so long to cotton on to the fact that it’s been so very mild across Europe, particularly...
It’s no wonder that Europe has ended up with the mildest winter on records with February returning another startlingly high +6.4°C anomaly. I notice that the media have suddenly woken up to just how exceptionally mild this winter has been across Europe, particularly in the east and northeast....
Man goes berserk with marker pen and ruins chart of mean temperature anomalies for February
A look at temperature anomalies over Europe so far this February
This could well be the mildest winter on record in Europe. If I am correct, there’s not been a single day this winter in Helsinki when the mean temperature has been below average.
Massive positive temperature anomalies of +8°C across Finland and western Russia in January.
A massive range of anomalies at 12 UTC today from -5°C in the northeast of Scotland to +7°C in Devon.
The highest anomaly today in IONA today was the 8.8°C above the LTA for that day at Aboyne, and the lowest -2.0°C at Thorney Island.
You don’t need to be a genius to realise the weather around the world is seriously out of kilter, and abnormal degrees of warmth like this are the reason behind most of it.
Experts say this has nothing to do with AGW of course, and is quite normal for January typically the coldest month of the year in IONA, but they do hint that it’s somehow connected to the jetstream, as most things are these days.
Mean temperatures across Russia have continued to be well above average so far this January as they were in December.
A large range in temperature anomalies today across the UK, from -4°C in the north where temperatures are close to freezing to +7°C in the southeast
This chart of maximum temperature anomalies for the 29th of December unfortunately doesn’t include any of the WOW station values. If it did you might find there were some values of 12°C or more above the LTA along the northwest coast of Scotland.
