Sunshine, Static and Super El Nino

High pressure is bringing plenty of sunshine to the UK, but it comes with a catch - a growing lack of rainfall and some chilly nights. In this episode, we explore why this settled spell isn’t as straightforward as it seems, from dry conditions impacting gardeners and farmers to the effects of easterly winds bringing blustery weather and even static electricity. We also take a look further afield at the latest on a possible 'Super El Niño', what it is, whether the term is justified and how it could influence weather patterns around the world. A mix of sunshine, science, and a few surprises along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spring Warmth for the UK and disorganised children

Spring could finally be making itself felt across the UK! In this episode of the Square Raindrop weather podcast, Jo Wheeler and Steff Gaulter chat about the much warmer spell developing this week, with temperatures possibly reaching 20C in places by midweek. After last week’s snow and cold winds, it’s going to feel positively balmy for many of us. As high pressure stretches towards Britain and Ireland, we should see drier, brighter weather for a while, although not everyone will see the same levels of warmth and sunshine. Jo and Steff talk through what’s driving the change in the weather pattern, how long the settled spell might last, and why spring weather in the UK can change so quickly. Along the way there are stories of freezing houses that turned out to have the boiler set far too low, repair café mishaps involving flat batteries, Mother's Day chaos and the unfortunate discovery that children sometimes inherit their parents’ organisational skills… If you enjoy UK weather discussion, meteorology explained clearly, and a bit of weather-related humour, you’re in the right place. And if you happen to be Nick James...we're sorry about the rain. Honest, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's happening to the UK weather - will the rain ever stop?

After weeks of relentless rain, there are finally signs of change in the UK weather pattern, but is it a genuine shift, or just a brief pause before the next system rolls in? In this episode of Square Raindrop, we look at what’s driving the recent run of wet weather, when sunshine is likely to return and whether snow could still feature as colder air lurks nearby. We break down the atmospheric set-up, what’s changing aloft, and what it means for the days ahead. And alongside the charts and models, there’s a slightly soggy subplot involving a Year Six residential trip and the character-building properties of persistent drizzle. Clear analysis, a touch of dry humour, and the story behind the forecast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mars Bars, Ice Storms & Storm Chandra: What’s Really Happening With the Weather

In this episode of the Square Raindrop podcast, we unpack why winter isn’t quite behaving as expected. From severe ice storms across the United States to Storm Chandra affecting the UK, we explore what’s driving the current weather patterns, and why forecasts for widespread cold and snow across Britain have so far failed to deliver. We discuss how the jet stream is linking weather on both sides of the Atlantic, why ice storms are among the most dangerous winter hazards and what the latest signals suggest for the rest of winter. Along the way, there’s a bit of myth-busting, some forecast soul-searching, and the occasional diversion, because weather might be serious, but it doesn’t have to be solemn. If you enjoy clear explanations of complex weather, without the hype, this one’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This rare Weather event just flipped our forecast!

In this lively episode of Square Raindrop, Steff and Jo dive into a dramatic shift in the long-range forecast — and why December suddenly isn’t looking as cold as many predicted. They break down what’s really going on, and look at what exactly is a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) and what the difference is between an absorbing and reflecting one. From a weakening polar vortex to ocean drivers hinting at a colder second half of December, the pair unpack the science behind the forecasts in their usual friendly way. They also explore the risks of explosive cyclogenesis, why weather models don’t always agree, and how to interpret uncertainty that your phone’s weather app absolutely won’t tell you about. But it’s not all clouds and sunshine, Steff's dishwasher caught fire, prompting a public-service announcement about smoke alarms and fire extinguishers you’ll be glad you heard! Plus Jo jumps in with more tales of household mishaps, as the two swap festive-season fears, advent calendar traditions, and whether gin-filled doors count as a Christmas essential. If you’re interested in UK weather insight, storm forecasts, SSW explanations and a good laugh, this episode has a bit of everything. Settle in and enjoy Jo and Steff’s mix of expertise, chaos, and cosy pre-Christmas chat. Don’t forget to like and subscribe! #ukweather #weatherpodcast #SSW Hosted on Acast.

Snow Hysteria and Reality - The latest Square Raindrop Podcast

In this episode of Square Raindrop, meteorologists Steff and Jo break down the UK’s latest burst of dramatic weather — from incoming cold snaps to those wildly exaggerated “snow horror map” headlines popping up across social media. They explain what’s really happening with the clash between mild southern air and cold northern air, why Wales is dealing with serious flooding, and how a stalled weather front can drench the country for days. But it’s not just forecasts — Steff and Jo dive into their own travel disasters too. Steff recounts a soggy, unexpectedly chilly trip to Argentina after packing for 35C sunshine, while Jo relives freezing holidays in France thanks to her optimistic summer wardrobe. The pair also chat about terrifying roundabouts in Oxford, getting lost in central London, surprise congestion-related fines, and the challenges of driving among bikes, buses and tiny street signs. Along the way, they share winter prep tips, laugh about Christmas card chaos, passport mishaps, and the annual tradition of forgetting children’s festive photos until the last minute. If you enjoy UK weather updates, flooding and cold-snap analysis, real-life travel mishaps, and the warm, funny chemistry between two Weather fanatics who know their stuff, this is the episode for you.
