  1. Miserable today, like most days this winter. The theme continues. Its been very wet with overcast skies rain most of the day, with further wet weather forecast tonight, a weather warning has been issued with 20-30 mm and possibly 40-50 mm in a few places. Truly miserable.
  2. Looks like a evaporative cooling event could take place...heavier precipitation will lower snow level. Higher elevations likely to get a dusting.
  3. Plenty of heavy showers today and some containing hail. Feels alot colder too at around 5 degree's
  4. 40°C Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt...Hot but didnt feel too bad due to low dew point and humidity. 35°C Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico... Felt unbearable walking around the pyramid...The humidity was pushing 70% so it felt more like 50°C
  5. malby Thank you! It was funny, because passport control are getting a little concerned about my full page on my passport of in and out to the country, they joked on our exit and we talked about other places to visit in finland. I'm interested in helsinki i said, he recommended it and said to come in the summer, i said no chance not with our weather! I love SNOW! It was a great little finish to the holiday.
  6. A little delayed but just got back from Rovaniemi, Finland. Stayed for one week in a hostel so the trip was quite affordable. Finland is such a beautiful country. I stayed about half a mile from the city centre so walking around was very easy and everthing was in walkable distance. This is my third time to Rovaniemi so i know the area very well now. Theres not much to do in the city, a small shopping centre and a few restaurants (mostly burgers and burger king!). We did a 6 mile husky ride, ice dip, sauna and outdoor jacuzzi. Onto the most important part, the Weather! Staying for a week i was hoping i had a chance to see some heavy snowfall, the whole week was very sunny and very cold. It was quite rare to see the bright sunshine and blue skies for a whole week, there was wall to wall sunshine most days (amazing sunsets), with the occasional partly cloudy day and also freezing fog which came in most nights. The northern lights struggled to come out most nights, we had 2 or 3 nights of clear skies but no northern lights. We would walk about 6 miles into the forest and to a camp fire every night, one night we got back to the hostel and the northern lights came out, we were too tired to go back outside and get all the gear back on. Thankfully i took many photos of the beautiful northern lights last year when i was staying here. Temperatures for the whole week were very cold, and at times, Bitter. The average day temperature was around -19°C and average overnight lows were around -25°C. There were two nights when the overnight temperatures plummeted to -31°C. It was interesting to note that this minimum temperature wasnt getting reached untill around 6am, slowly warming up to around -20°C by noon. On the last day the morning started sunny with temperatures around -20°C. It warmed up on the last day with increasing cloud cover to around -13°C which felt much warmer. You could walk around with nothing covered on the head or face which was a nice break from wearing everything. Light snow began to spread in from the west from noon, with a slight dusting on all surfaces so it was nice to see some falling snow at least. Snow depth was around 65cm at the Airport, while surrounding areas of the forests the snow depths were around 75cm. Back home now to rain, wind and our outstanding beaches and green countryside!
  7. I'll be in finnish lapland this week looking out for the aurora borealis. I think ive got a pretty good chance at the moment, the weather looks quite settled, with decent chance of clearing in the evenings. Temperatures however, look very cold with the possibly of -30°C by night and nothing much above -20°C by day.
  8. Hopefully Wales will see some snow over the next few days. I'm off to finnish lapland for a week, where temperatures could possibly fall to -30°C on wednesday, thursday and friday night, theres no snow forecast however ive got a good chance of capturing the aurora borealis over the next week. Good luck with the snow guys!
  9. Big warm up for Finland next few days. Up to 3C in Finnish lapland Monday. Drops back down next weekend with sub zero temperatures returning
  10. A fresh covering of snow for lapland last night , it turned much warmer in southern Finland overnight with rain and sleet and temperatures above freezing, it looks set to turn colder tommorow as colder air floods south again.
  11. Probably the strongest gusts of the storm so far here right now, after the squall
