California 'bomb cyclone': Mega 75ft wave triggered off California by massive 100mph storm

Quote

 

A monster 75ft wave has been recorded off California after a so-called "bomb cyclone" pounded the US West Coast. It is the tallest documented by scientists at the University of California during the last 15 years a monitoring project has run. Over that time, the average tallest wave height has not been more than 10ft in winter.

But during the recent weather phenomenon, where hurricane-strength winds saw gusts of more than 100mph, the average height of the tallest waves was 45ft with the largest measuring 75ft. They were recorded about 20 miles off the coast of Cape Mendocino in northern California

BBC monthly outlook

Summary

Wet and windy at times but not too cold

_________________________________

Wednesday 11 December – Sunday 15 December

Wet and windy at times. Temperatures near average.

Through the remainder of this week, a strong jet stream moving over the Atlantic Ocean will help to drive further bouts of wet and windy weather across the UK. Wednesday will be bright at times but breezy and quite chilly with showers. The showers will be most frequent in the west and south, with a risk of hail-mixed in and some snow for upland parts of Scotland and northern England. On Thursday, more prolonged outbreaks of rain look set to spread north-eastwards across the UK with a risk of snow for a time over Scottish hills and the northern Pennines.

Further unsettled weather then looks likely for Friday and the weekend with showers and occasional longer spells of rain spreading from the west. It is likely to be windy at times, too, with strongest winds for the southern half of the UK on Friday and then a risk of more widespread strong winds on Saturday. Temperatures will be mostly near to the seasonal average. It will feel chilly at times in the wind and there is a risk of patchy frost under any lengthier clear spells at night.

Monday 16 December – Sunday 22 December

Calmer initially, then wet and windy again

The early part of next week is likely to be less windy than this week. There should be some bright or sunny spells, too, but with further showers in places, these perhaps most heavy and widespread over western areas. Temperatures will start the week near to the average for this time of year with a risk of night frost in places. Through the middle to latter part of next week, low pressure areas are likely to approach the UK again from the west, bringing a return to windier conditions with rain at times.

Currently the rain looks like being most frequent over western parts of the UK, with the potential for some high rainfall totals over western Scotland, Cumbria, Northern Ireland and west Wales. However, most areas are likely to have some rain and there is a risk that the heaviest of the rain could shift a little further east across the country. However, with winds expected to be mostly from the south or south-west from mid-week onwards, we should also experience a recovery in temperatures. It should become milder with temperatures rising above average. This means there should be a lack of night frosts for the second half of next week.

Monday 23 December – Sunday 5 January

Wet and breezy at times. Variable temperatures.

Through the latter part of December, further wet and breezy episodes of weather appear likely as low pressure systems continue to move in from the Atlantic. A subtle change in wind direction means that it is likely to become chillier at times with west or north-westerly winds causing temperatures to fall nearer to the average. However, there should also be some drier and brighter periods of weather, perhaps with the best of those over central and eastern England. Occasional night frosts are likely, too, within any drier, clearer periods of weather.

For Christmas, it is still too early to give any details of the forecast. However, it currently looks like the best chance of any snow would be over Scotland, with temperatures somewhere near to the seasonal average for most. Indications for the first week of the New Year are for a variable pattern of weather. Most likely, we will see wet and windy spells of weather alternating with some drier, calmer but chillier days. There are chances that high pressure could become more dominant, though, which would bring a change to more prolonged drier and calmer weather.

Further ahead

The outlook is currently mixed with wet and windy weather for many at times. We will take another look at the latest indications for the Christmas period.

Australia could face its hottest day ever - beating record of 50.7C

Quote

 

Australia is sweltering through an unprecedented heatwave - with forecasters warning temperatures could exceed an all-time high of 50.7C (123.3F). Temperatures of about 40C (104F) are expected all weekend in Perth, and the heat is expected to travel eastwards towards Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra between Tuesday and Friday. Forecasters at the Bureau of Meteorology have warned that southern inland areas could experience highs of 45C (113F).

Weather warnings have been issued for parts of Western Australia and Queensland - with the hot, dry conditions fuelling bushfires that have destroyed more than 400 homes since November. Meteorologist Diana Eadie told ABC News: "It is not out of the realms of possibility that we could break our highest-ever recorded temperature of 50.7C (123.3F) at Oodnadatta, which is in South Australia."

Summary

Wet and windy at times. Variable temperatures.

_________________________________

Saturday 14 December – Sunday 22 December

Chilly initially, then milder, wet and windy.

This weekend will be windy and chilly with showers at times. On Saturday, the showers will be focused over the northern half of the UK with snow mixed-in these over the Pennines, Peak District and Highlands of Scotland. The southern half of the UK will have the best of the drier and brighter weather. More prolonged rain and upland snow will spread eastwards on Saturday night before leaving a showery day on Sunday, with showers heaviest in the south and west. The first half of next week will become calmer than recently with winds easing as we will see the jet stream weakening for a time. However, it will stay quite chilly with showers in places. More prolonged rain and hill snow may spread north across parts of England and Wales on Tuesday.
After mid-week, winds are expected to swing around to a southerly direction, bringing milder air. However, it is likely to become wetter and windier again, with the heaviest of the rain focused over the west and south of the UK. Given the recent wet weather, localised flooding cannot be ruled out. There is a chance, though, that it stays somewhat chillier, less wet and less windy for longer next week.

Monday 23 December – Sunday 29 December

An unsettled Christmas week. Chillier later.

Low pressure areas moving in from the Atlantic are likely to bring further wet and windy weather at times across the UK. Showers and bands of rain will spread from the west, interspersed by some drier and brighter interludes. Mildest conditions are likely to be early in the week. There are indications of chillier north-westerly winds later in the week, probably just after Christmas. Therefore, some of the showers could become wintry for a time, particularly over hills and in the north of the UK. Frosts are likely where any lengthier clear periods develop during the nights. There is a slight risk that high pressure builds more widely over northern Europe in the second half the week, which would bring much drier and calmer but colder weather.

Monday 30 December – Sunday 12 January

Wet and breezy at times. Variable temperatures.

The end of December and opening days of January are likely to see further wet and windy weather conditions at times with low pressure tracking close to the UK. Winds may be from a chilly north or north-westerly direction at times. Therefore, wintry showers could be expected at times, most widely over hills and in the north of the UK. By the second week of January, there are indications of the jet stream strengthening, perhaps bringing stronger westerly winds across the UK at times. It could become quite stormy at times with outbreaks of rain becoming heavier and accompanied by one or two strong wind events. However, it should not be particularly cold with temperatures mostly near to the seasonal average. There is some uncertainty over the details of the forecast, though, with a chance that the jet stream dives further south than expected, which would result in a colder and less windy period of weather.

Further ahead

The outlook remains mixed with wet and windy weather for many at times. We will take another look at the latest indications for Christmas and the New Year.

An unusual very warm period develops across east-central Europe through the remainder of December

Quote

The first 2019/20 winter month in Europe will be just another one in the line with above normal average monthly temperature! While it has been dynamic over the North Atlantic and western Europe lately, similar pattern will likely continue for another week or possibly even two.

Such pattern means deep trough over the North Atlantic with numerous storms into western Europe and ridging further east – in other words, unusually warm weather for east-central and southern Europe is expected. Models are trending into an incredible warmth developing this week!

Summary

A changeable outlook. Wet and windy at times

_________________________________

Wednesday 18 December – Sunday 22 December

Breezy with showers and rain

The remainder of this week will be often unsettled but a little milder than recently. After a cold start, Wednesday will see fronts approaching from the west, bringing outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds to western parts of the UK. Many central and eastern areas of the UK will be dry and bright although fog and low cloud could be slow to clear from central areas. Rain and brisk winds will then spread further north and east across the country on Wednesday night.


Thursday will be a milder day for much of the UK with showers or longer outbreaks of rain. However, northern and eastern Scotland should stay dry until evening. A milder night than recently on Thursday night. Through Friday and the weekend, the weather will remain changeable with a mixture of bright spells and showers. The showers are likely to be heavy at times over southern and western parts of the UK, perhaps with occasional thunder mixed-in. Temperatures will remain near to a little above the seasonal average. Any overnight frosts will be localised and mainly confined to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Monday 23 December – Sunday 29 December

Unsettled initially, then drier for a time

An unsettled but rather mild start to next week with areas of low pressure bringing showers or longer outbreaks of rain. Potentially windy for a time too. However, we expect a brief change in the weather around and just after Christmas Day. Low pressure looks like moving away to the east for a time, bringing somewhat chillier winds from the north or west. Most places look like becoming drier too, perhaps with one or two night frosts.

However, there could still be some showers over northern and western areas, these potentially wintry over Scotland. The snow risk currently looks rather low further south across the UK for Christmas. Late next week, somewhat milder air should return from the south. However, high pressure is likely to stay near enough to keep many southern and eastern areas fairly dry. Northwestern parts of the UK have the highest chance of wetter weather returning later in the week.

Sunday 29 December – Sunday 12 January

Turning wetter and windier again.

The end of December and start of the New Year are favoured to have a relatively dry and calm spell of weather. However, this will bring a risk of fog at times. Current indications are that it will not be particularly cold but patchy night frosts would be expected. However, after a relatively calm start to the New Year, we see an increasing likelihood of a strengthening jet stream bringing wetter and windier conditions to the UK in early January.

Much of the UK should see showers and lengthier outbreaks of rain spreading from west to east, perhaps accompanied by one or two strong wind events by the second week of January. There is a chance that the jet stream does not strengthen as much as expected, which would lead to the persistence of somewhat drier and calmer weather.

Further ahead

Heavy rain ahead of Christmas week

Quote

 

It’s going to turn less cold and more unsettled this week as a low-pressure system moves across the UK, bringing spells of wet and windy weather to many. The Met Office has issued several warnings for strong winds and heavy rain through the rest of this week, in what is expected be one of the busiest travel periods ahead of Christmas. Met Office Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: “Today (Wednesday) we’ll see a spell of some very strong winds across western parts of the UK, with gusts of up to 70mph around some coastal locations.

“Heavy rain will push into parts of Northern Ireland, western Scotland and southwest England and Wales today too, turning heavy in southern parts overnight.  Further bands of heavy rain are expected across southern parts of the UK on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  With the potential for 60-90mm of rain falling over the course of a few days, it’s quite likely we’ll see some impacts such as flooding and tricky driving conditions."

Looking further ahead to Christmas week, Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen continued: “At the moment there are signs for a drier, quieter spell of weather just in time for the Christmas period, with the potential for colder temperatures making things feel a little more festive.”
