Potential Easterly 10th March -->?

Was watching on the YT channel 'Weather Watcher' and they think that an unusual high in central Russia moving westwards could push banks of cold air down towrads us.

Dare we even mention the Beast word.......

Here's hoping for a red alert and time off work. 🤞 🙏 😀

Looked at CFS in January and March looked a lot colder than February then but haven't looked at it since. Seems likely an Easterly will be in place in a week but whether its mild or cold is open to question still.

Checked GFS though and it was that low going more North now so the milder air wins on the current run. Tweaks likely before March 10th though.

Good ecm tonight, and the mean follows suit. All to play for but chances are a little less this evening

The latest Icon has much stronger heights over Scandinavia. Certainly keeps the interest going

This overnight GEM would certainly blast the east coast with snow shower trains were it to verify

That is one Shivering direct unimpeded source of air

This is T+7 days- next Monday

Is that a long range forecast or wishful thinking?

Once it's reality over my little bit of land 😁

you wont get much done unless there is a dramatic change away from the rain

It's pretty standard March weather though, isn't it?

At this time of the year it's usually too late for proper snow and too early for proper warmth. Especially for the East.

I'd prefer for some boring weather in March (and on the other end November) if it means more seasonal weather in a few weeks' time.

Hopefully things pick up as we head a bit further into spring.

I think we may be clutching at straws now alright. ICON was the only model really calling for anything.

Uppers just aren't there now and they don't really improve after the 120hr frame.

no sign of an easterly when it looked likely a few days ago, it was also looking like a very wet March in Spain (-NAO) but that too is unlikely. Drought conditions there are going to get even more serious if they don’t get a wet spring.

Warmest Feb on record globally following on from record Jan globally. In parts of Europe Feb came in up to 7 or 8c above normal. Waiting on the first 50c recorded in Europe this coming summer........new regime.

I'm off to the canaries tomorrow, the only part of Europe with any sort of warmth. Fairly cloudy and relatively cool for the weekend but plenty of sun sheet that with temperatures nearing the mid twenties so hopefully I'll be able to swap jeans for shorts by then.

No ****, Sherlock. Just like Northern Ireland is the UK, even if it's geographically Ireland.

My apologies then but I thought that as the Canary Islands are part of the European Union, then that would automatically make them part of Europe too but perhaps they is not the case.

But to keep on topic, it was a reasonably day here today. Got cloudy for a while and it's been a breezy afternoon, the breeze been rather chilly. Thankfully it's due to be a bit warmer tomorrow.
