Awful wintry weather in central Italy, with temperatures well below average and heavy rain.
Here it's the second coldest Easter on record after that of 1996.
Meanwhile the temperature has bust 20°C (68°F) in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. But it will be 11°C and raining every day there in summer so never mind.
Seems like the polar vortex / western ridge is mostly gone.
Yes sir. A more typical Spring pattern/flow set up. We don't typically see the amplified pattern March to September. (Ridge/Trough) And exactly why is once the PV left the building, the flow is a bit more relaxed and more West-East now without the PV pushing the Jet Stream down in the East.
However, doesn't mean consistently warm. Doesnt mean there can't be Canadian Highs coming in with a NW wind. We still need a heat source, a mid level push of warmer air, and heights to build, but at least the chances are higher now for warmth to come in.
Long Range still looking below normal for here. Thinking April will end up normal +/- 0.5° with only 7 days in the 70s (normal is 11)
