Storm Darragh

Added : Thursday at 13:30

We end the working week with Storm Darragh moving in from the Atlantic and we did mention earlier this week that this was the low pressure system we were keeping a close eye on.

At the momen Storm Darragh is developing out in the mid Atlantic and you can see it to the East of Newfoundland :-



Into tomorrow afternoon and the system moves in across Ireland. Should also be noted that the GFS ► handled the system best out of the global models and kept Darragh to the North.



Storm Darragh brings a multitude of things we are keeping an eye on. First of all it's the heavy rain from the system which will move East across the UK and this will fall on already saturated soil due to the recent rainfall.

The second is the strong winds from the system which will be on the rear of the system :-



This is important, as you may initially think Darragh was a bit wet and windy, but the main winds come in after the centre has passed across your location. Some very strong winds across Western areas later on Friday and these move East into the Irish Sea and Wales early Saturday :-



Also of note is the snow on the Northern edge of the system across Southern Uplands, Cumbria and the Scottish Mountains with heavy snow and drifting in the strong winds across higher routes.

Still some uncertainty over the position of Storm Darragh on Saturday with most models further East than the GFS ► :-



The ECMWF ► also nudging Darragh a little further East with some very strong winds across Northeast and Eastern areas of England on Saturday :-



We are closely monitoring this period as strong North or Northeast winds can be more damaging than Southwesterly winds due to the fact that our prevailing winds are from the Southwest. Also, given the rainfall over the last few days, any tidal rivers could see tidal locking develop if Storm Darragh does move further East in line with the ECMWF.

So, an active system with plenty going on in terms of the weather to end the week and start the weekend.

The GFS continues to bring a cyclonic picture to the UK this weekend as Storm Eowyn moves away from the UK, but these vortices are puzzling us...

Added : 9 hours ago

Santa Ana winds yesterday brought further wildfires across parts of Baja California, the Alps in the sunshine and Storm Eowyn across the UK...

Added : 6 hours ago

Storm Eowyn now just to the North of Scotland and strong winds continue across the Borders, but this afternoon and into this evening they move up the Western side of Scotland as Eowyn moves away...

Whoah! How clever is this? The Metcheck Thunderstorm Tracker Satellite allows you to see the developing storms across Western Europe and tells you whether they are growing or decaying. Every 15 minutes we take a snapshot of the cloud cover then measure the temperature and height of the clouds and show you whether the area of clouds are developing into thunderstorms and what direction they are moving in.

You probably hear a lot about the Jet Stream in the news. It's either too far North or too far South. The jet stream is identified as winds at 300mb (during Winter) and 200mb (during Summer). It is these winds which are responsible for driving and developing weather systems across the Atlantic.
