This page is dedicated to long range weather forecasting using astrological maps the same way ancient people predicted weather for millennia. Although it is possible to predict for the whole world using such maps, astrologers are not paid to deliver long range forecasts therefore time is limited and allows me enough time to only forecast local weather conditions. Scroll down page to read my winter 2009/10 weather forecast and the spring 2010 forecast above it. Scroll below that to check the results of my autumn 2009 forecasts to see how accurate this kind of forecasting can be.....

SPRING Weather  2010 devised Jan/Feb 2010, posted 11 Feb.

This forecast was compiled January- February 2010. No corrections to it will be made subsequently so you can be assured that this long range forecast is not tampered with to suit last minute changes.

We can expect at least 50% weather which is bright clear and sunshiny and reasonable warmth, with some excellent visibility, but of course it is spring so there will be wet conditions to contend with. Expect dampness which stays around longer than usual, along with cooler than the average temperatures. There are some blustery conditions to deal with also, but some higher temps prevail in west Yorkshire see the predictions below for more info. We can expect some seasonal lows to suddenly arrive accompanied by chilling hail, sleet and even snow fall as late as June. So the message is 'don't cast a clout till May is out'  but don't trust early June either!
Predictions run from spring equinox 20th March until solstice 21 June

PHASE 22nd-29th March Any clear weather arrives mid night to morning generally. Some sunny days but seasonally cool temps, some unsettled days bringing blustery breezes with a gloomy/stormy outlook by end of phase. Wet and damp at the beginning and end of this phase. At the beginning I expect weather systems to come in from southern Ireland, and Wales across to NE England and E side Scotland i.e from Caenarvon to Dundee.

 22-23 very wet periods and flood warnings could be out in areas mentioned.

22 Not a pleasant start after 1 am a stormy, cloudy or gloomy outlook, though improved weather conditions could develop as the day draws on into morning.

23 Cool seasonal temps, some breeze but mists and moisture gathering also, not a bright day especially towards later in afternoon

24 Early and sometimes heavy rain creates more muggy conditions if not fog, some clearing by 9-10 am but temperatures remain seasonally cool, some sun could break through cloud by mid morning.

25th Drier day expect sunshine cloud and some NW air flow keeping things cool

26 Any showers clear by morning, some mistiness in the evening especially in low lying areas. Some sunshine by lunchtime with some seasonal warmth but NW winds can be noisy and swirling.

27 Cool but sunny, some breezes around, but drier conditions. Quick spring showers could fall early evening, but very Spartan and light, finer weather afterwards

28th Cool, some sun around with some breezes. Showers across the UK could arrive by 9 am; locally some could expect rain by mid afternoon. Outlook generally gloomy, if not stormy.

29th Any o/night storm or rain  should clear the atmosphere by late afternoon bringing clearer skies by late evening.

 

PHASE 30th March-6th April. Expect typical April weather with some short but refreshing showers to clear away any gloom and encourage spring growth. Expect some peasant evenings to enjoy outdoors gardening etc but take care on 1st when conditions are intense if not sultry and on 3rd take your brolly and wellies with you.

 30-31 More settled outlook with some pleasanter spring conditions to enjoy.

1st Will see some heavy rain if not snow, sleet hail or frost especially mid morning. By evening brighter skies, but icy temps along with very strong air flows, sharp and biting in nature.

6th A drier day some good outdoor weather but see next phase for this could become disturbed....

 

PHASE 6-14th April   Cold, dry but with blustery windy conditions. Some wet systems coming over the Atlantic around 11-12th hitting latitudes from 46 North i.e midlands and upwards along western parts of Britain and Scotland. Cornwall and SW England could also be caught by another weather system coming their way too, though for the most part the south of England gets the better weather this phase. If skies do clear it will be midnight to mid day, with afternoon and evenings being the times that any of the worst of the weather prevails-generally

 6th Weather system travelling down off NW Scotland towards N England could bring some wet and muggy conditions our way by late afternoon or evening. Cool temps and snow possible especially across higher ground.

7th Early morning short sharp showers, cloudy or muggy afternoon, rain or potential snows on high ground by early evening, but gloomy conditions begin to clear later by midnight.

8th Cool temps, but clearer atmosphere.

9th Some cloud or mists in valleys and low lying areas but rain less likely though atmosphere still damp.

10th Rain likely t/out UK and here around the middle of the day, but milder temps than previous days, with some sun attempts and unusual swirly wind activity...

11 Showers could arrive overnight but warmer temps are likely and a pleasant outlook for cleared skies and sun shine. Overnight becomes less temperate heralding rainfall and weather systems coming in from S Wales across to Dundee

13th Electrical showers, hails, sleet snow, short and sharp but clearing the air again, some sunshine with rainbows and temps varying from mild to cool with showers and icy wind chills. Some whipping winds keeping up sporadic gusts over next few days...

14th Some cloud spray type precipitation but clearer sky during daytime

 

PHASE 14-21 April     I expect the North of Britain to get the worst of the unpleasant weather with rain coming over and the south experiencing milder seasonal conditions, though heavier rain falls in their region. Some bright days are forecast in between awful gloomy days, but static conditions characterise this phase. The good thing is that clear skies occur during the day and for the most part the worst arrives through the night

 14th Appears muggy and gloomy across UK with rain expected early morning and at close of day around mid night. Some snow attempts potential for south of England. 

 15th Some cloud around with seasonal showers possible into mid morning but clearing the air to leave a refreshed atmosphere. Sunshine and warmth expected especially to northern areas.

 16th Sunshine and warmth especially to northern areas, breezy conditions but some blue skies.

 17 Sun with cloud but dry day with some short sharp showers around perhaps early evening.

18th Expect clouds to bring rain early evening. Breezes/winds SW, at times strong, sharp and gusty for next 3-4 days

19th A warmer drier day for most of us with sunshine though clouds could be around middle of the day temps below average for the season, in fact some regions could have very icy temperature.

20th Lovely day

21st Cloud around with potential for short sharp showers, especially on higher ground, but still some blue skies around

 

PHASE 21-28th April Dry weather, electrical conditions, clear but bitingly crisp air sudden hail or sleet showers, short but sharp in nature. Cold if not icy frosty conditions. Clouds generally clear mid day to midnight. We can expect a cloak of white descend in the form of hail, frost or snow for some of this period, more moderate temps for second half of this phase.

 21  See above in previous phase, but with added likelihood of electrical discharge in some localities especially by 6 pm

22 Temps varying sudden lows bring cold fronts in, frosty conditions along with some breezes keeping warmth away, and veering NW by late evening. A drier day.

23rd Any swift downpours arrive late evening, drier conditions otherwise with breezes varying in speed, at tie gusty but keeping dampness away.

24th Some cloud around even mist, breezy spells but dry day generally.

25th Short showers around 7-10 am spartan in nature, then late at night more of the same. Typical spring day mostly dry with lower seasonal temps than usual though some southerlies could bring in some better promise.

26th Electrical outbursts, possibly hail or sleet, especially 25 am, temps cooler, but drier day.

27th More moderate outlook temp wise, with cloud and even mist of fog early and late evening but some sun during the day.

28th This would bring in the worst of the weather for this phase some sun but cold outlook, hail, sleet and snow again expected in some regions, with conditions getting worse as the day progresses.

 

PHASE 28th April-4th May Some intense cold and wet conditions from the outset though some sunny days likely and nice evenings. A promise of clearer weather to the south with unpleasant conditions to the north of Britain.

 28th Not a good day, very heavy rain expected drains could be on overload in some areas leading to flash flooding in some regions across roads. N E England and Scotland bear the brunt of this system, but by evening things should be clearer.

29th More showers possible 5-8 am, but lovely clear skies and clearer air by midnight till next morning....great if you are a bird watcher, but tough luck if you're not....!

30th Some coolness along with electric shower if not a t/storm before sunrise, with more showers released by midnight again. Cloud t/out winds southerly in nature.

1st very early shower 1-2 am, skies clearer by 10 pm, beautiful night sky. Some showers could affect N England and Scotland by approx 4 pm

2 Sunny clearer day, some cloud to start with around breakfast but afternoon should be lovely and some sun around, but cold temp.

3 Quick short sharp showers may affect some localities 7-10 am again 7-9 pm, but a dry day with blue skies and may be a few clouds but generally OK, though chilled.

4 Varying conditions/out cloud around with sun at start of day, some humidity creating potential for mists in low lying areas, but some finer conditions could evolve until late evening. Warmth around with cloud but cold at night.

5 Early shower suggested or cloud but sunny clear afternoon turning into a lovely day with warmth around encouraging growth and lots of outings for walks by evening. Southerly breezes

6th Warm day still? See next phase.....


PHASE 6-14 May some gloominess could prevail for half of the week with cold and damp conditions accompanying, though on some days we can expect precipitation to be lower than usual

 6th A little warmth around after early misty damp start. Could end with a stormy outburst in some regions paving way for cooler evening.

7th skies should be cleared by mid morning after a misty start, any light showers to come arrive around 9-11 pm

8th Bright sky early light showers 5-6 am some cloud during the day, but sun as well, with a quick sharp shower by evening 8-9pm

9th Dry day lovely skies early morning, some cloud by evening again short sharp shower around 8-9 pm, short and sharp. Strong westerlies heralded today and tomorrow.

10th warmer drier day

11th Shower before sunrise, bluer skies by mid morning though some mistiness or cloud mid day?

12th Occasional gusty outburst, mostly gloomy outlook early eve could see some sun around with the cloud. Especially cloudy to the south, mild evening.

13th Rain refreshes the air from 1-2 am some cloud around by mid morning but a nice spring day expected.....

 
PHASE 14-20th May More breezy/windy spells to provide some drying conditions, no fogs or mist and clouds soon blown on their way before providing any moisture. Some gloomy clouds around but will give way to clear skies during the day. A milder phase after cold conditions so far.

 14th Fine day temperature rising with promise of warmth to come as clouds come and go not staying around to spoil outdoor activity. Good day for gardeners....

15th Break of day could see some showers, but day should be fine

16th some battles between southerly, westerlies and northerlies but after a showery start will soon clear as clouds are blown on their way. Expect strong whipping wind activity.

17th Crisp morning air, frosty some cloud and continued wind conditions from yesterday.

18th Any rain arrives early morning with clouds passing over late afternoon but come clearer skies to enjoy as well. Mists in some areas towards late eve.

19th Slightly milder temps spartan electric showers by mid morning, clearer skies by afternoon, some cloud by evening and mists again till next day

20th Changeable weather today with southerlies around....continued in next phase….

 

PHASE 20-27th May Cloud or lunch before lunchtime will clear later in the day. Some rains expected, a few gloomy days also with eruptions into storms, but some sunny days also likely. 2 weather fronts passing over this week Starts fair, turns gloomy and ends with foul weather. Southern parts get the worst and 22-24 could even bring some late snow.

 20th Stormy outlook as day wears on. Brief showers around 9-11 am could just be spray, some sun with blue sky afterwards.

21 Afternoon better than the morning, but some cloud around 7-8 pm some downfall could arrive warning of more to come. Fewer breezes around today.

22 Cold day especially early morning due to showers bringing in colder temps.  Gloomier by midnight cloud, gloomy or misty conditions could prevail

23 Variable skies with cloud and potentially misty even a shower around mid morning, clearing by lunchtime. temps seasonally low.

24 Again quick early showers possible, I wouldn't discount snow or sleet, some sun by afternoon but more air currents brining in a storm from the Atlantic.

25th Quick early miring outbursts rain heavier to southern regions today or tomorrow, unsettled conditions prevail a stormy outlook

26th again outlook gloomy, damp conditions if not rain

 

PHASE 26th May-4th June Less stormy outlook but temps icy at times due to less cloud cover at night remember the saying ''don't cast a clout till May is out?'' You'd be best advised to keep winter clothes in the wardrobe.....ground frosts are expected, even though some fairer weather arrives. Lovely evening and night skies to enjoy for us stargazers. I have a weather front coming along for S Ireland, Cornwall 27th /28th May.

This phase and next phase are potentially seismic for some parts of the globe particularly along the Asiatic fault lines; also cyclonic activity could be hitting the headlines.

 

27th May Still some damp around at the start of the day with gloomy clouds until after 9 am when some sun attempts will be made. Humid or damp conditions with cooler evening temps bringing in potential for ground frosts.

28th Some blustery air flows westerly in nature, early morning shower outlook for sunrise, but dome sun during the day cloud around by evening any gloom that prevailed should now disappear

29 Showers could arise around UK at break of day from 2 am approx, especially eastern half of Britain.

30th Blustery air flows could continue in some localities cloud with fairer conditions and fine trends for outdoors during the evening.

31 O/night showers could see cool temps if not icy to start the day, with temps varying t/out. A mid afternoon shower looks likely overnight, ground frosts likely.

1 Mid afternoon shower again 4-5 pm likely but some breezes to dry everything out, and I wouldn't discount an early morning snow attempt either, though it could just manifest as frosty?

2 Gently whipping breezy conditions warding off any damp conditions some sunshine but cool temps.

3 Early morning shower around 5 am sun with cloud and gusty air flows expected....strong, whipping at times.

4 Cool again similar to yesterday

5 Some gloominess weather wise, also in the news where we can be found in the middle of some sudden and unexpected economic trends, some of which can be downwards in nature. Expect news affecting bankers, the treasury and cabinet, the wealthy and the ruling class to be breaking into the headlines in a major way. Don't know when the election is but this could be a time of sudden unexpected outcomes affecting politicians. My prediction ( first published on the net in January) is Conservatives get a large percentage of votes, but Labour get more seats with fewer percentage votes.


PHASE 4th-12th June Remember this phase is still seismic so our weather could also be expected to respond in an unsettled way. I haven't time to locate the exact regions for outburst, though I have identified areas around Bermuda Triangle- E of US and Hanoi areas and around Taiwan as vulnerable, but hopefully I’m' wrong.....

Weather wise here some seasonal showers, with worst of weather to south regions, cold if not gloomy for a few of the days, and better conditions around mid night to mid day.

 

5th break of day around 13 am sees some clearer skies before sunrise some fine warmer conditions follow. Some cloud and potential for quick showers around 8 am the day should become fairer but clouds around 11-12 midnight.

6th Breezy conditions southerly in nature, but some gusty westerlies chipping in. milder temps prevail for the season, some mists or hazes can accumulate as a result.

7 N westerlies expected with strong air currents and some tornado breeders for some locality, impossible to place these due to tiny size in the UK. Cold air clashes with milder air in the south, some cloud and haze by evening along with damp air.

8th Gloomy by mid day extremely unsettle conditions after a very cold start at sunrise. Expect varying blue sky with cloudiness t/out strong air activity in many UK regions some creating headline news.

9th Winds still active in many regions, easterlies with some gloom from early morning, veering NW gusty strong in many high areas. Some regions could see hail sleet or snow showers today, ours arrive 8.30-9.30 am

10th More precipitation likely again hail sleet or snow attempts not unlikely, heavy at times about 12-1 am. Sudden lows in temperature.

11 Better conditions temp wise, after a cold start but strong winds to contend with

12 Expect southern areas to bear the worst of this weather with northern areas to have it slightly better today.

 

PHASE 12-19th June. Fairer conditions but variable, drier though, cool with only moderate precipitation if any. Better conditions during the day, any cloud and downfall expected through the night....

12 Rain t/out UK likely, here from 1 am but some finer weather expected during the day with warmer temps

13 Another dry day with some fine weather and warm seasonal temps

14 Another dry day same as yesterday any precip arrives around 4 am summery day

15 Southerlies, warm, fluffy clouds and blue skies....ice

16 Stronger breezes northerly, but southerlies still around so not too cold. A cloudy or damp start at sunrise some haziness could develop in low-lying areas but still a summery day.

17th Some showers again after a sunny afternoon

18th 8 am could see some shower, but tiny, 9. 30 another threatened, some electricity building in the atmosphere with warm fronts turning extremely cold just as suddenly as they arrived.

19th gloomy and stormy outlook.....summer is a rushing in…….

WINTER 2009/2010

For us in Yorkshire up here in the cold north, the last time Mars was in Leo
at this time of year  was !963, and Jupiter was also in Pisces then. We had
the severest winter for over 100 years and a series of blizzards to contend
with, while February, when Mars dispositor the Sun aspected it got the
lowest temps of below 9.F when the tallest waterfall at Hardrow Force froze
into one big icicle ....imagine that.....
With the Sun ruling your asc I don't think  you or we can afford to miss the
main aspect the sun will make to Mars on 29th January when other planets are
shifting in major ways as well.
Saturn retro is in our fourth but Virgo is on the cusp and so very cold and
stormy winter, but not the most freezing I don't think. There are a lot of
stormy conditions coming along this winter and I found times when easterlies
would be reigning at their onset. Saturn will bring in these gloomy and
stormy conditions, and I did find lunar charts timing where the east was
vulnerable, but I guess you have to match the lunar with the solar to find
out when this would happen for you.
I found a lot of electrical charts so perhaps the message is an
intensification  of cold at times and electrical
storms....perhaps.......destructive in nature.....in Feb 1963 water pipes
froze and communication systems were down.
I don't expect such extremes of iciness this winter, due to different
positions of other planets in the mix, but it does give some idea of how the
Sun Mars connection in winter operated at least...........well for us here
in Yorkshire it does...brrrrr
McCormack gives electrical fires starting in the southern hem for this
connection I think......so maybe there'll be more headlines about forest
fires raging down under??

The astro met community discussed the effects on this year's weather of the upcoming Saturn transit at minimum north declination at the begining of 2009 and did expect some cold temps. The Mars transit in Leo this winter is also an uncommon one at this time of year and here is a sample of a mail I share with the astro met community on the AW weather list in early Dec late Nov 09:-

ASTRO-METEOROLOGY and Winter 2009/10

Unlike meteorologists, astro meteorologists predict months even years ahead, proving that it is possible to accurately see what weather is arriving without using expensive equipment or huge salaries!! Those of you following these predictions will note that also, unlike ordinary meteorologists, we don’t change our forecast two days before the weather is due!!!

It is possible to track the exact weather changes for each hour of the day, but it does take a lot of time. This forecast alone takes one full week to prepare, so has to be kept general, but key dates are singled out for main weather conditions.

This forecast is prepared primarily for West Yorkshire especially Leeds and Bradford region but other areas are also singled out for some weeks. Because we live in micro climates, sometimes one end of the city can experience rain while another area has uninterrupted sunshine, but in general the following interpretation will be mostly accurate in the long range.
 
 WINTER 2009/ 2010

Main body of forecast produced end of November 2009

We can expect a cold and stormy winter, but not the most cold, with some freezing over and snow at times, and some gusty squalls to contend with along with biting cold, dry, chilling winds. Get out the warmest clothes to protect yourself from some harsh extremes.

The south especially Cornwall, SW England and Southern Wales look likely to face disruptive weather and some major headline making events this winter, even as soon as the last week of December. The end of January brings headlines about disruptions to power supplies and water pipes. The North of England and Scotland, especially the SW Scotland will also encounter stormy weather to come, to add to that experienced mid November. The Severn area is cause for concern early in February, but hopefully I’m wrong…….

Tornadic winds likely around middle January and beyond, floods for our region after 27 January turbulent stormy conditions to the south of us especially the first week in February, with much snow around later that month combined with some stormy weather conditions to greet March.

An eventful time this winter weather wise so don't take anything for granted.

24th-31st December

First of all I have to say there is so much weather for this phase I cannot be totally confident that I will cover all eventualities, I single out just some events for you to consider.

This is an eventful week weather wise with high winds along with hugely disruptive blizzards likely with the south, SW England and Wales getting the worst of it, with some flash floods causing havoc for Christmas celebrations to these southern regions from 24th onwards. A stormy phase ahead......

24th Here heavy showers are likely, icy, hail sleet and short sharp cutting precipitation is likely with blustery icy winds and breezes to keep you cold.

25th icy cold and frosty conditions with snowfall on high ground again any precipitations will be icy and there is potential for short sharp electrical showers bringing hail. Looks like a gloomy day with clouds bearing snow moving over in the skies.

26th-27th A more frosty outlook and more blizzards some with hail, sleet and snow will hit the headlines in our region as well. There could be a few sunshiny spells to break up the gloom, but breezes will be blustery north westerlies chilling and strong.

28th brings more wintery precipitation, heavy at times..expect snow hail and sleet showers. I expect most snow to fall on this day

29th More heavy precipitation, blustery breezes, lessening on 30th but heavier winter showers to arrive, even snow!!!

31st brings the heaviest downfall of all with floods expected to some regions with many flood warnings in place.

31st Dec 7th Jan

1st Still some gusty winds around less strong 2-3rd but by 4th gusty again. The heaviest precipitation is to be expected during the daytime, especially 3rd Jan when some electrical conditions discharge clouds. Night skies will be clearer with invigorating air especially overnight 1-2nd January. Some light snow attempts may be around 31st-3rd but there could also be some sunny spells to brighten everyone up.

4th Any showers will be icy, short and sharp with more gusty breezes to keep you clutching hats and scarves

5th Brings in electrical conditions and older temps especially late at night with strong breezes and hail if not snow showers likely.

6th Brings variable weather icy showers some gloom to deal with along with strong winds again to blow you around.

7th Windy still with some quick showers around so take your brolly. 6-7th sees some weather reaching us that has been travelling over from the Atlantic cold in nature of course….expect the air to be crisp.

 

7-15 January

 8th Very strong nippy winds keeping fingers cold any showers including snowy ones, will be short lived and some sunshine around during the day.

9th A windy and wet day!

10th Another murky day with spurts of whipping gusty weather to contend with as well.

11th Still gloomy cloud around, cold and breezy

12th Rain with variable temps but frosty early morning and late night, sudden lows to chill the bone with north westerlies prevailing. Rainfall early morning for us, much heavier to the south by evening.

13th-14th Sudden lowering of temps after overnight winds bringing in chills, and potential tornado activity by 14th, some blizzards breeding also.

15th16th Cold temps strong windy conditions with more hail sleet and snow blizzards around. Frosty night by 16th easing mid day.

 

15-23rd January

17th-19th Strong  high speed gusty conditions southerly and easterly brining easing of some icy cold temps and any precipitation will be short and sharp some sunshine with cloud around.

19th-20th north westerlies prevail…always cold at this time of year, still milder temps for the season but some attempts at wintery showers by 19th

21st Early morning frost and snowfall, still windy but more moderate in nature.

22nd A few wintry blizzards can disrupt the day, windy again

23rd Frosty temps winds stronger and more heavy wintry showers by  middle of the day, continuing into the evening very strong winds around also.

 

23rd-30th January

A very wet phase, high precipitation expected at the beginning and the end, I expect more snowfall especially 23-24th

24th Similar to 23rd expect cold frosty mornings cold temps prevail some cloud around also.

25th-27th Still breezy but less likelihood of showers and skies should be clearer with some sunny spells but also sudden icy lows by 27th and frosts along with more gusty winds some from south possibly a tornado breeds on 27th some snow blizzards on high regions with high precipitation with flood potential in SE regions likely-Suffolk area?

28th Overnight showers start the day some attempts at thawing around mid day with wet conditions to contend with. Some sunshine but not enough to dry things out and temps will still be extra low for the next few days as well……..

29th Sudden outbreaks of icy winter showers likely, snow for some regions, especially late at night extremely icy temps but during the day the sun could break out but not enough to warm you up! A warning to make sure all water pipes are insulted from cold and power supplies could be affected at this time of the year while in Australia we could get news of spontaneous electrical combustion starting forest fires.Energy and power supplies can also be disturbed due to excess static in the atmosphere, so like boy scouts be prepared! Reminiscences about 4-5th Feb 1963 will be relayed in news items.

30th dry day sunny winds becoming stronger again later in the day some spray around mid day and last thing at night, not a good time to plan a walk in the woods! In spite of these conditions 28th- 30th should see some sun around loud and proud! Any wintry showers, especially on 29th will be short and sharp, though frequent.

 

30th Jan -5th February

Outlook windy, cold gloomy, wet with storms likely, heaviest to the south of England with winds becoming extremely strong gales, destructive in nature with the south especially vulnerable Expect strong winds to disrupt transport and travel plans.

31st Winds likely to be stronger and gustier arriving in spurts bringing in some spray mid day and last thing at night.

1st Variable temps and sudden lows, unsettled air with showers expected after mid day, winds getting troublesome now and for the next 4 days.

2nd Easing of temps still cold, some icy showers late night.

3rd Winds still howling and blustery but blowing clouds around allowing some sun to smile through.

4th Short sharp electric showers greet the day still gusty

5th A wet and oppressive day. Very heavy rain expected a stormy day cold and intense especially further south when drains come under strain from high levels of water draining of the land. Flood warnings to be expected.

 

5th-14th February

Generally turning into a drier phase cold and frosty in nature some sunshine with strong winds keeping things wintry, but some areas struggling with residual water damage at the outset.

6th Weather changeable drying out during the morning and more moderate conditions around, mostly cold frosty, some cloud but some heavy showers threaten later in the day.

7th Colder temps but everything points to this turning into a stormy kind of day with a chance of high downfall by evening. Some sun around 10-12pm mid day, gloomy late afternoon 3-7pm. expect very strong winds I expect Bristol Channel areas and Severn boundaries up to Blackpool and further north to be hit by this weather more than us….we’ll see…

8th Still breezy blue skies early morning to mid day again, any showers will arrive later an overnight.

9th-10th Still breezy, some snowy clouds in the sky and easing of temps.

11th Could see some early mist and frost any showers arrive mid eve 6-9 short sharp like hail or sleet.

12th More short sharp wintry showers heavier to the north  with snow on high ground.

13th Cloud and damp conditions and mists in some areas but high velocity whipping winds to deal with and lower temps, easterlies very  early morning veering NW by late breakfast.

14th Potential icy showers by 9 am, slightly milder temps mists or cloud around snow breeding conditions for some localities……..especially on those on high ground…Some strong N Westerlies could argue with easterly flows. Icy showers again to end the days well.

 

14th-22nd February

Generally varying weather trends with swift changes to weather conditions this week ahead. Cold conditions continue but cloudy weather develops with heralds some gloomy air but less biting temps as the cloud hovers to keep in any warmth that might be generated Any rainy spells arrive overnight thank goodness so some hope for a few sunshiny days especially late afternoon. 
15th More snow attempts combine with varying icy lows less wind.

16th some white to decorate the scenery mild to no breeze

17th Wintry showers, hail or sleet like short and sharp intermittent also.

18th White cloud around, colder but some sun during the day, unsettled conditions generally.

19th Colder temps today with breezes blowing your breath away, any showers, snow for some areas, fall late evening.

20th Cold winds keep air extra cool ….wrap up warmly…

21st Clouds and mists around along with NW, showers likely overnight especially to the south

22 Very heavy downfall with north and easterly flow, a gloomy outlook ahead especially along our eastern coastal regions and NW Scotland Pembrokeshire and Cornwall look especially gloomy disease outbreaks are likely to be dominating the headlines this week and for some weeks to come. Some snow also expected to fall.

 

22-28th February

A more cheerful phase cold but some exhilarating air and sunshine to encourage gardeners walkers and sporty types .Some electrical precipitation short sharp and sweet characterises this weeks precipitation patterns…Neptune adds dangers of mistiness, some freak weather patterns and dangers of fog with high levels of moisture to be expected for the next 26 days till mid March and beyond…..don’t say I didn’t warn you!!! Precipitation will be sudden but lower than usual.

23rd Any short sharp icy showers will stop as soon as they began around 3pm otherwise more moderate breezes some cloud and moisture around and mistiness with some sun spells.

24th Late evening shower attempts after a sunny afternoon

25th A nicer day but cold overnight snow on high ground especially, dampness could prevail

26th Any showers arrive early but some sunny conditions, cold with blue skies for next few days some sudden gusty air flows.

27th Misty start early nebulous wind or breeze conditions some cloud but still good outdoor weather eventually, gustier air later. Very cold temps

28th Early showers variable day, breezy some showers could arrive by 3pm but expect these to be short and sharp, we will see cloud but some invigorating air, and southerlies bring a less icy temp to enjoy.

 

28th Feb-7th March

Stormy outlook towards the second half, humidity and electrical conditions at the start, cold windy with some heavy downfall in some localities, Kent/Suffolk areas most likely will experience the storms more keenly, some freaky or unusual weather, blizzards if not snow storms by 7th

 1st Cold mists and frosts around NW winds, strong but clearer conditions by late afternoon with some blue sky and sunshine Any showers short sharp electrical in nature winds veer NW by midnight escalating in velocity.

2nd The promise of spring arrives today. Cold conditions to begin the day, but some more spring like conditions as the Sun gets stronger, strong wind with rain. Air sharp and clear some blue skies to enjoy by afternoon some cloud late evening and more blustery breezes.

3rd Sun with cloud a fair day generally after easterlies create a stormy start before sunrise

4th Showers may be around before sunrise sleet or snow showers likely, cold temps warn of a frosty outlook but clear skies again later

5th Brings extremely heavy downfall, cold temps snow on high ground some southerlies moderate the air, drains will be overstretched again leading to some flood conditions for some localities…..

6th Electric showers early morning by a milder though muggy spring like day with some south easterlies around, but this is a storm breeding condition which will manifest on 7th when very heavy showers are expected especially late in the day with high velocity north westerlies making things unpleasant, but clearing the gloom and static brought in by the south easterlies, though flooding could upset play in our region sadly. Hopefully some strong Jupiterian rays could also bring some spring like sunshine in the next three  days  7-10th in spite of other conditions around.

 

7th-15th March

Another electrical phase with weather turning really nasty on occasions.

8th Early morning rain along with very strong NW winds clear and sunny after mid day cloud late evening

9th Winds continue strong gale force at times; any rain arrives by late afternoon with clouds scurrying along

10th Gusty sharp winds and biting, can be destructive in nature late shower by late evening some blizzard like conditions could arrive.

11th Early showers wind noisy, drier afternoon some sun expected.

12th Fog or mists around in valleys today keeping temps more moderate

13th more electrical outbursts hail sleet along with some SW winds but not altogether unpleasant.

14th Rain by evening, strong southerlies prevailing but meeting with some icy temps which  can be a tornado breeder today but especially tomorrow 15th by 7 pm bringing an end to what could be a spring like day otherwise.

Both days cold and icy temps overnight difficult to locate the tornado on 15th could even be in our region. Snow and frost on high ground especially 14th-15th and continuing in some cold conditions for the next six days and more.

 

 15-20th March

This phase shows the birth pangs of spring with some stormy outbreaks to accompany the equinoctial shift as the sun rises above the equator. Thundertorms are guaranteed 16-17th with winds and electrical outbursts expected in the days ahead. Temperatures can be very icy even though the birth of spring is in the air.

16th Should be a clear start, cold with developing static and overcast by mid day heavy showers likely. Changeable conditions t/out strong winds liven up the outlook by evening if not before. 17th Thunder and lightening expected  with powerful SW winds to add excitement to the mix, some tornado type breeders expected.

18th Heavy showers early but blue skies, cold with some cloud as the day progresses some very strong SE winds around to  warm up some chilly temps as well

19th Early overnight showers but some sun in the morning but an unsettled day, gloomy  by evening when  winds get stronger gale force velocity likely by 20th to greet the equinoctial shift.

Autumn Weather  2009

The Equinox chart heralds an autumn which is mostly dry in our region, with some bright sunshiny days to enjoy when even snow and frost soon gives way to mellowness; watch out for this type of condition late November and December.

It will be very cold with some blustery windy weather keeping temperatures chilly on occasions, with some strong easterlies arriving at times to increase cloudiness, damp, static and chilly conditions with very icy precipitation expected.  I've paid more attention to wind conditions this forecast, but no guarantees at this stage of my forecasting in this area!!! However, I do expect some very strong gale force winds towards the end of October and beginning of November with news of isolated tornadoes in some localities being featured in Regional newspapers at this time.

 

Static conditions combined with humidity will cause sea frets and sailors, divers and potholers will need to take extra care to consult local conditions for tides before planning events to avoid disasters, particularly 28th October -8th November, when intense and sometimes oppressive weather conditions arrive throughout the UK. With more time it would be possible to be more specific about which areas are most affected, but sadly this isn’t at my disposal… suffice it to say some coastal, sea, lake, marsh, pothole and sailing events are likely to cause concern this autumn, some of them especially around these dates, unless extra vigilance and expertise to avoid danger is used.

 

26th Sept-4th Oct

27th Milder temps but breezes keeping things cool with erratic bursts of wind ........high velocity in some parts..Northeasterlies expected in some areas of the UK this could lead to high winds if not isolated and localised tornados activity.

28th Short sharp showers passing over before drier weather arrives

29th Winds turning more easterly

30th temperatures cooling but variable with sun brightening up the day

1-3rd Oct can see breeziness around cloudy mornings with some sun still trying to brighten the day, but very cool nights. Temperatures will be seasonally autumnal at this stage so wrap up warmly. Static can prevail and atmospheric disturbances which can impact on the immune system and there can be a rise in seasonal viruses and others thriving as bodily temperatures are lowered for the next 2-3 weeks....

RESULT Mostly accurate including reports by Friday 2nd that swine flu had suddenly started to rapidly increase outbreaks by as much as 50 per cent. The breeziness forecast for 1-3rd escalated into very strong blustery winds by Saturday 3rd. I didn’t find a report of a tornado anywhere in the UK for 27th, though high velocity winds were on course for Scotland before reaching us by 3rd and very wet conditions for the southern regions

 

4th-11th Oct

4th NE and SE could encounter some rainy outbursts and there will be spurts of strong north westerlies prevailing setting the tone of the weather for cold and damp conditions with the sun finding it difficult to chase away clouds.

5th Brings more windy conditions into play with erratic current often high speed especially to the south and N.E. We can expect some easterlies bringing in chilly temperature mostly dry.

6-7th we can expect easterlies bringing in cloudiness again along with wet spells including cooling the air but skies should clear later in the evening as winds veer to NW.

8-9 Bluer skies could prevail but any showers could arrive during the day times with less erratic wind conditions

10th Should be a pleasant day with some fine blue skies and strong ozone invigorating the air......any icy showers will be short-lived.

RESULT. The strong north westerlies arrived as predicted and Saturday was blustery with clouds, Sunday was lovely if  still slightly windswept  with another breezy and slightly cloudier day on Monday with temps lowering further. Monday was mostly dry but some scattered showers. Rain arrived quite heavily on 6th with scattered showers and heavy clouds  …….even the wind direction curved  easterly ENE by early Tuesday turning NW by Wednesday 7th bringing less cloud.The 8th brought blue skies as predicted with winds disappearing, and temps were down then 10th brought lovely sunshine mid day but cloud by evening with icy showers by 8pm……a pretty accurate forecast for this period.

 
11-18th Oct

Expect a lot of atmospheric disturbance between 13-15th Oct and NW Scotland is the worst hit as this phase begins with more intense weather conditions arriving along with misty and muggy weather. Breezes wringing in rain from 11th building to quite strong windy conditions by 12th but some warmth by the middle of the day keeping things reasonably pleasant though humidity levels can be quite high.

13th is wind and rain especially overnight but the day should see some variable sun and variable temperature with cloud, rain expected from afternoon onwards

14th More rain to southern regions, lower temperatures here, and dullness and some easterlies prevailing continuing into 15th as north westerlies arrive with cloudiness and chilly conditions. Some storms coming in from the sea could arrive at Dundee/Blackpool and regions to the west of us by the 15th

16th a clearer day with some static which could release overnight combining with strong westerlies that gain in strength becoming north westerlies from 17th-18th

RESULT:- 11th cloudy as showers greeted the early morning here, 12th brought some lovely sunny weather, icy temps to start with, but warnings of rain threatening Scotland…13th was very icy until the sun was high amongst the cloud, and by 14th early drizzly showers left a damp and muggy feel until the sun shone by 10 am with central and southern areas and Wales picking up some drizzly weather t/out the morning. Easterlies reported for 14th/Cookridge but only mild breeze conditions, by mid day mostly westerlies were being reported around Leeds while temps were chilly. 15th began overcast, gloomy and drizzly in these parts….while Friday was clearer and Saturday brought some sunny spells combined with some sporadic brisk breezy conditions


18-26th Oct

This phase promises some fairer days with humidity and coldness continuing, but some blue skies to enjoy and cheer up parts of the day till 21st

18-21 Expect strong westerly air flow and some blue skies to cheer up the day and by 20th we can expect some pleasanter weather ''north winds drive away rain leaving a mild and wholesome air and a slight rise in temperature 10-22. Less windy from 21-23 but by late 24th and on 25th some sharp breezes will be whipping off the remaining leaves from trees with more cloudiness to the north by 25th. Very heavy rain looks likely to fall over us by late morning 24th coming in from the west and travelling across Wales up to Scotland where high levels could cause some flooding.

RESULT: The strength of westerly airflow was breezy with some blue sky spells around 18-19, but interspersed with cloudy spells, while rain greeted us around 5am on Monday 19th, but cleared quickly leaving cloud but some sun and blue sky occasionally, temps cold.
20th BRRrrrr very icy temps 8* C with cloud creating a gloomy outlook to start the day…..a lot of stronger ENE blowing even more cold then heavy rain for us by 14:00 coming in from the west.
Reports for potential flood levels were coming in as early as 20th for central and eastern England and all except west areas of Scotland, with even higher levels predicted over next two days…a little earlier than I predicted, but I did correctly predict flooding for this phase for Wales and Scotland…and we can expect more rain later in the week….whoops definitely got no blue skies today, so got that wrong!!!
21st began gloomy and cloudy with less icy temps, and slightly warmer, still some mild ENE breezes and ground still wet from rain yesterday which continued to fall overnight till early this morning. Flood warnings were still operative today for Brid and Scarborough..with 8 warnings in force in Scotland for Tay and Grampian areas.Cloudy and overcast for us t/out
22nd cloudy, gloomy with lots of static around occasional breeziness.with 23rd similar but a few sunny spells in the afternoon.. 24th – 25 really lived up to my prediction for strong winds and high levels of precipitation on 24th, and of course flood warnings were out in force in Scotland especially.


26th Oct-2nd Nov

26th Some strong winds can still be blowing along with damp conditions but a promise of fairer weather arrives---enjoy the promise! Sunshine with clouds today after lunch especially

27th Similar to yesterday but NW Scotland looks beaten by strong winds while here we get strong winds with rain amidst a stormy atmosphere with lots of static around.

28th Should be more moderate by the afternoon after morning showers, with clouds coming over from the wet coast

29th More storms hitting the rest of Great Britain overnight with rain locally early morning.

30th Expect early morning rain followed by sun with cloud as day progresses.

31st Clearer weather and skies with some sunshine around, but news of some destructive winds activity possible tornado type

1st  Calmer more moderate wind flow with outbreaks of showers but much stronger winds by 2nd when rain affects mostly southern regions and again tornado type winds localised to some southern area. Rain will refresh the air relieving static conditions.RESULT:-This prediction worked out well from 26-28th, including a promise of fairer weather by some mets expecting an Indian summer  this week…well not up here, as I said enjoy the promise! Yes temps were mild, breezes not as wild as I expected, but still a little blustery.

My prediction for 29th was inaccurate for Britain, but correct locally. The wettest places were in Scotland some precip moving into Ireland as well. 30th..very cloudy damp conditions reigned with mild breezes, but 31st prediction very good as a beautiful morning dawned in our locality, and yes,  strong winds began later at night bringing rain here and for northern Scotland/ Isles, and the Celtic Sea area which greeted a glum 1st Nov. when flood watches were issued for west and southern regions.

 I looked in vain this week to try and find those areas which the met said would enjoy an Indian summer…….it wasn’t here needless to say!….

My prediction for 1st  2nd for stronger winds and tornado activity to the south came true 3rd when a mini tornado hit the Hampshire area around lunchtime……….
 

2nd-9th Nov

Some electrical conditions relieved around the 2nd with variable temperatures and cooling winds, strong at times Showers will be short-lived from mid afternoon on 2nd while 3rd should remain dry

4-6th More settled weather some cloud with showery outbreaks on 4th but pleasant later in the day and bonfire night should see a fine evening here so enjoy spectacular firework displays. 6th could see some northerlies around with blue skies, some cloud and showers mid afternoon

7th Sunny clear skies and westerlies.

8th More northerlies but moderate keeping off the rain and promising bluer skies

9th Breezy but fine day.

RESULT:-2-3rd saw some afternoon sunny spells, cool temps wind still blustery, but 3rd was dry during daytime with showers by late evening….4th -6th very accurate, more settled weather with 5th great for firework events during the evening when it stopped raining to allow for no damp squibs! 7-9 saw some general  improvements as predicted above.

 

9-16th November

A half wet half dry phase but we can expect any precipitation to be shorter but quite intense......

9th-10th static builds and high humidity with breezes prevails temperatures will build as the day progresses 9th should stay dry

11th Occasional wind, gusty breezes keeping the air fresh but exhilarating with sunny skies and moderate autumn temperatures.

12th Variable unsettled winds and breezes continue with misty conditions near water and lowlands with some sun and cloud around 12-13th overnight, heavy at times....

14th More moderate temperatures with whipping breezes to play with skirts, hats and scarves and autumnal debris again a tornado could breed in some locality in England......

16th is stormy with heavy rain interrupting outdoor plans the east of us could see the heaviest precipitation, stormy with whipping gusty winds.....

RESULT:-9th lovely sunny day with frost decorating the ground early morning, but temps rising as day progressed as predicted, with 9th dry but 10th brought some early morning showers.

11th…accurate prediction 12-13th fairly accurate prediction except the word ‘’rain’’ should have followed the word ‘overnight’ …. Rain was heavy at times from late afternoon 12th till early am 13th.

14th saw weather headlines for storms across the UK ,as well as tornado likely, while locally we had gusty breezes from late Friday, some rain by evening and later at night but, Saturday was dry with occ rain attempts that fizzled out.

My tornado prediction for 14th was accurate:- one at Evesham Worcs, Suffolk, 30 second event blowing down a 160 yr old Yew tree, when 100mph tornadic winds ripped through the county, three chimneys also demolished. Another tornado in Benfleet Essex took to the headlines damaging 60 properties. Not bad considering this was forecast six months before it happened…..

16th was as predicted also…

 
17-24th November

Much pleasanter4 weather to the south of England but hopefully some should arrive up here after the stormy weather in previous days. It will still be windy with cloud and easterlies prevailing with lower temps, but 18-19 sees better days with some sunshine.

20th is gloomy again with some humidity creating an uncomfortable climate and a warning of more rainy weather comes over from the west.

21-23rd breezes around getting strong by 22nd and stormier with strong wind brining in rain with thunder and precipitation can be quite heavy at times. Expect some sunny outbreaks late afternoon onwards.....

RESULT:-Certainly the south had fairer weather than we had, it was very windy here with cloud and easterlies bringing in some foul conditions with 17th bringing in the worst by evening till the skies cleared by evening on the 18th, bringing a much brighter day by 19th, but still very windy with southerlies and easterlies blowing gales at times. Of course sadly, Cumbria up to Scotland had the most terrible floods 19th, but we managed to avoid them on this occasion. 20th was gloomy, with some sun attempts creating humidity, with more spray attempts by evening. 21st still breezy, heavy mist greeting the morning and the weather did get stormier later as it rained constantly here till late evening and t/storms dominated Wales and East Devon and other areas at the turn of 21-22nd as predicted. Lightening was seen some areas such as Stoke on Trent and Stockport regions overnight on 21-22 also, with precipitation heavy at times but for brief spells between occasional sun spells for Sunday, and very heavy breezes as predicted for 22nd. 23rd was drier but still breezy, but the sun managed to break through briefly around mid day. 
 
24th Nov-2nd Dec

Sunshiny days to start with some winds to contend with but these prevent clouds staying around and blow gloominess away eventually...whipping winds icy breezes bringing in frosty conditions at night  24-26th.

Expect some icy showers hail with sleet by 26th additional coolness prevailing and again on 27th possibly even some snow showers....the first sign of winter arrives.....

27th-29th northerlies prevail and they will be very biting, with 28th breezy and icily cold sometimes strong wind conditions along with icy showers. By 29th mid morning could see electrical conditions arising brining more hail sleet and snow and 30th brings in more blizzard like conditions....a warning of winter weather. Late November to early December sees more wintery temperatures arriving with overnight frosts to decorate trees and shrubs and some snow coverings providing pretty scenery but many travel hazards......Expect extremely heavy precipitation by 2nd December in many parts of the UK.......

RESULT: 24th mainly dry with some short sunny spells and windy at times, some rain attempts by evening. 25th cloudy start and gloomy, colder temps.sun spells mid-day, torrential icy rain by 10:20pm, winds whipping up stronger activity. 26th beautiful blue sky to greet the day, still strong gusty weather, icy temps, but no frost, just icy cold temps.

27th SPOT ON PREDICTION at 13:10 the precipitation was the first snow warning as snow with rain showers began to fall.THE FIRST SIGN OF WINTER ARRIVES!!!

28th and 29th was exactly as predicted, though on Sunday snow arrived on higher ground than our locality, along with heavy rain which brought a closure of roads at Armley gyratory where roads flooded by mid day. 1st started sunny with blue skies but very cold with a small short snow shower mid day which never settled, and by evening icy temps reigned.
 
2-9th Dec

Some flood potential likely from last phase and later this phase by 4th due to heavy precipitation levels

This phase is characterised by variable winds sometimes cutting and chilling but often invigorating with extremes of activity to the west and especially coming over from off  the SW coastal regions by 1st Dec with exceedingly low temperatures expected but variable and erratic in nature with some below normal precipitation with the wind currents bringing in descending cold air....

Similar weather to beginning of October but with a wintry feel temperature wise. Winds variable, sometimes cutting, often invigorating and more winds driving up the west coast of the UK, with high velocity at times bringing in erratic weather conditions over the coming days.

Residual floods will still be seen after the heavy precipitation witnessed at the turn of the month and by 4th December we will again see sleet snow, hail showers as more static builds and thunderstorms look likely by 4th.

Bluer skies follow the storm, but still some winds around drying things out, some gloomy days 7-8th along with easterly airflow

Evenings should be pleasanter parts of the day but cold and chilly but northerly wind arrives by 8-9th clearing the skies...thank goodness


9-16th December

Wet weather continues but sunshine between cloudy spells with winds whipping up speed by 10th, static build by 11-12th another thunderstorm likely by 13th  with more precipitation.....hope I'm wrong!!!!

Winds and breezes 13-14th but clearer skies and sharper air for days that follow, expect icy cold with 14th a better day than 15th when some clouds gather.

 
16th- 22nd December

16th should be fair, breezy but brighter some clouds around with winter temperatures.

17-18th more moderate temps for the season with mild breezes on 18th

19th fair day sunny

20th Cold-icy but sunny with some showers threatening to turn into isolated torrential downpours with potential fro flash flooding in some areas, with hail sleet wind and even snow storms especially in high areas throughout the UK -21st December in time to greet the winter solstice.......... watch this spot to find out what Christmas day will be like.........well here in West Yorks at least!!!

EARTHQUAKES in Great Britain

There are 200-300 earthquakes in the UK every year so it's a hard task for one single astrologer to track every one of them due to the amount of work involved. However we can single out some dates when seismic activity can be expected to herald news of an earthquake especially in Great Britain. Here are some of the likely dates when a high percentage of such activity can be expected to occur in 2009. Earthquakes can happen on the dates or one day before or after dates mentioned:------   9, 16th, 17,  23,  29, 30, 31 January;  28 April;  12, 26 May;  8, 22 June; 5,20 July;  2, 16, 29 August;  12, 25 Sept;  9, 23, Oct;19th November

RESULTS  earthquakes so far this year  with Bullseye written besides those accurately predicted..2009:-BULLSEYE 15th Jan Shetland Isles; 3rd March Folkestone; 24th March Argyll and Bute; 11th April Hull. and Swanland and Goxhill/Lancashire; BULLSEYE 28th April Ulvertson, Cumbria; BULLSEYE 11 May Bournemouth/Berwickshire; BULLSEYE 5th June Maesteg Bridgend; (2-3 days out) 26th July Anglesey North Wales; 15th Sept Southern North Sea..sadly I missed the Octboer record on the official EQ website but here are the latest ones for Nov/Dec2/12/2009 BARGOED,CAERPHILLY
25/11/2009  ISLES OF SCILLY 70KM S OF ST ANGUS
