TODAY'S WEATHER ACROSS SCOTLAND, UK & EUROPE

HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES UK WEATHER THIS WEEK, COOLER TEMPS!
IT WAS EXTREMELY ICY IN AREAS THIS MORNING OVER SCOTLAND
After overnight rains which came in between dropping temps and frost and ice formation, this created a morning where it was deceaving. I personally didn't think it was too bad. Sure, it was frosty, clear and cool and I understood that rains had came and went during the overnight, however, it wasn't until I drove northwards from Dumfries on the A76 where I realised the danger. Cars and trucks travelled at 10 mph and I wondered why, only to see a vehicle on it's roof. I felt the truck slidding, and yes I was travelling at only 10 mph!. Only a few miles further on and another vehicle on it's roof... another in a ditch and then once up by Thornhill, there was another on it's roof..
Indeed, this busy trunk road linking Dumfries and Kilmarnock was NOT salted, why I will never know and it was clear that temps were to drop towards or slightly beyond freezing! I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW SLIPPERY THE ROAD WAS AND APPARENTLY, THERE WERE OTHER ROADS IN PERTHSHIRE, ANGUS AND OTHER DISTRICTS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH ICING... Tonight may see similar issues, so please take care!

Mumbai Forecast:
The current range in Mumbai is between 31c in the day and 18c (Colaba) and 14c at S’Cruz in the night.
From 20th. Jan, I expect the day time winds in the city to turn E. This would increase the day temperatures a bit.
Hence, Vagaries expects the days to be a bit warmer at 33c for a couple of days from the 20th.
The nights would also be easing getting warmer) a bit on these days, say by about 2c.
Anticipitating a fall in temperatures again after the 21st.
A cold spell, always welcome in Mumbai, is likely from the 22nd.

WILD WEATHER ON A WILD WORLD
MEXICO WEATHER

Tranquil weather ahead...for now
LOCAL UPDATE
After an extremely cold week with temperature departures averaging -24°F throughout the city, finally the sun came out on Sunday and tranquil weather rules the region as of now. Even though temperatures at the morning remain at a chilly 8-10°C, afternoons are milder with highs around 25°C. However cold and dampness looms next weekend. A powerful cold front moving southward from Northern Canada will bring down the temps again yet it is to see if it will challenge last week's cold.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Expect nice conditions, partially sunny skies with chilly nights and milder afternoons throughout the region until Friday when the cold front will arrive. Temps should be around 5°C and no higher than 12°C during the last days of this week. Also rain and drizzle are likely for those days. Throughout the region expect cold conditions in the latter part of this week with lows ranging near freezing for most of Coahuila and high terrains of Nuevo León, while milder conditions will be present at southern Tamaulipas.

TODAY'S CONDITIONS (LOCALLY)
A cooler morning which saw the off and on formation of frost with clear skies and then showers which progressed through the area, this created a dangerous glaze of ice over wet roads as temps dropped below freezing. In areas of Perth and Kinross and Dumfries and Galloway, this was particularly bad with countless accidents. The day was generally sunny and showers off and on. A good bit cooler than over the past weekend and nearly 10 days lower on daytime highs. The low of 27 was also 20 degrees cooler than two mornings ago.
Thanks for reading.
