Interesting chart from The Finnish Meteorological Institute....

Not what one might expect from the weather experienced over winter.

On the synoptic front, the pattern for most of the winter has been for depressions to move eastwards near the north of Scotland and then dive southwards over the Baltic; hence westerlies for the UK but northerlies for Scandinavia. We did of course get Storm Arwen back in November, when one of these depressions turned south before reaching Norway, and that was spectacular enough but a one-off. However Scandinavia had repeated events like Arwen, just not quite such high windspeeds

Another very cold weather over Cyprus with Nicosia today max was 9.2C so that 2nd time to drop below 10C after 6.8C max reached last week.  Likely to be the coldest March on record as temps are still in very low teens to mid teens when normally by now is 20C and end of the month go up to 24-25C.  Highest this month only 20.8C in early March once.  They forecast Troodos to drop to record low -13C tonight.

Last day for some very cold weather in Cyprus as in the afternoon in Nicosia was cold around 8C with cold rain showers.  Quite a margin of plus 10C colder than Uk which is unheard as it done before but just by few C but not 10C or over range.  Still lot of snow in Troodos at 60cm and at top 130cm.

Without looking at the records, the North Atlantic synoptics of last November and the present North Atlantic synoptics remind me of the 70's and early 80's when climate scientists commented that  something 'unusual' was going on in The Arctic. 

Anyone agree with this? If so, what might the weather be like this summer hereabouts? More slack low pressure nearby with more thunderstorms?

Interesting readings.

I read a couple of days ago that temperatures in one region were the lowest for 75 years.

Tornado lifts lambs into air and causes £100,000 of damage to Welsh farm (msn.com)

The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation said it had investigated the site and believed that the damage was caused by a T3 level tornado.

Investigator John Mason said he believed the twister had a strength of between 93mph-114mph.

Yes this has been a very rapid investigation indeed, helped a lot by social media but also because the site was only a mile from where I currently live so was able to map the damage before anything had been disturbed. Information is still coming in though.

These squall-line twisters need a lot more work to understand what makes them tick though! This thing came down, wiped out a load of trees then bounced off upwards again. The most remarkable one I've ever dealt with.

Tropical storm Megi has given the Phillipines a battering a fortnight ago, but passed unnoticed as there's so much else happening.
