Your week ahead forecast.

Im fed up with showing you pictures of rain clouds so here we go for something a little bit more cheerfull a Sunflower! This picture is misleading though as sunshine this week will still be at a premium! Good news though it will start to feel warmer from Tuesday onwards and becoming muggy as well. Temperatures could well touch 23c/73f during midweek in any sunshine. Now the bad news if you dont like rain is that there is an increasing chance of thundery rain developing during Tuesday to Thursday. Then a band of rain looks like moving through during early Friday morning to bring fresher and cooler conditions and yes you know by now, showers to follow. All in all a once again very mixed up summer week but it will at least feel somewhat warmer.!  Have a great week .Ian.

The Reasons Behind.......The Flooding In Wales.

The dramatic flooding around the Aberystwyth in West Wales was one of the worst floods in at least 100 years. Around six inches of rain fell with-in 36hrs. The process which help cause this is known as "Orographic Lifting" The topography around this area is very Hilly and with low Mountains know as the "Cambrian Mountains"  From the top map you will see that the Cambrian Mountains rise abruptly just to the East of the coastline. The moisture coming off "Cardigan Bay" via the Atlantic often produces heavy rains for the area over the high ground hence the many dams which are in this area. From the arrow on the top map weather systems often move in from this direction and provide heavy rainfall for the high ground. The map above shows the disturbed weather on Friday and Saturday had a persistent moist airmass pushing in from the Atlantic. Orographic lifting is the process where moist air pushes up the sides of hills/mountains and the air quickly cools to form  clouds and then in turn clouds grow, and then the rain begins to fall. This is basically what happened in this location in West Wales.

Your Week Ahead Forecast!

The Summer weather is making the news headlines for the wrong reasons as the tragic flooding in West Wales as a result of 6 inches of rain fell in 24-36hrs! The weather this week really adds insult to injury as torrential rain will be a feature across our area on Monday with a possible 2-3 inches of persistent rain is possible locally and at least an inch generally.River levels are expected to rise in the next 36hrs so if you are concerned go to  http://www.enviromentagency.co.uk/   Tuesday to Thursday will see somewhat better conditions although there is likely to be some slow moving Thundery showers especially during the afternoon and evening.Friday, is likely to start off dry but rain will filter in during the day with increasing winds and low pressure once again dominates the weekend! Cool throughout the week with highs of Just 16c/61f. See Yer  Ian.

A deep area of low pressure will develop during Thursday into Friday. This system will produce heavy rain at times ,but more importantly strong winds will develop during late Thursday and last well into Friday.Current model ouput shows a swathe of winds strongest during daytime Friday which could well cause some travel disruption, along with a distinct possibility of branches from trees falling and even trees coming down due to full leaf foilage and saturated ground. Winds are expected to ease later on Friday.
