Taken from the Icelandic Met Office: "The eruption in Grímsvötn began after 17:30 on Saturday May 21st (see photos). The altitude of the plume is monitored by two weather radars, one located in Keflavík International Airport 220 km from the volcano, and a mobile one currently situated approx. 80 km away from the volcano. Innitially the plume reached approx. 20 km altitude but during the night it fell to 15 km, occasionally rising to 20 km. During the morning of the 22nd the plume was lower still, or at around 10 km in altitude, rising occasionally to 15 km. Lightning is monitored using the British Met. Office lightning detection system. Lightning activity follows a similar pattern as the plume altitude with intermittent periods of strong lightning activity. During the most intense lightning period the number of lightnings per hour were 1000 times more than during the Eyjafjallajokull Eruption". Source: http://en.vedur.is/about-imo/news/2011/nr/2177 |

http://www.irishweatheronline.com/forecast/heavy-thundery-showers-in-store-this-week/24458.html This week looks like bringing us a return to the showery and thundery setup we endured through much of June, with low pressure settling in over the country from Tuesday. Showers will be the order of the day well into next weekend, with some heavy and thundery downpours of rain and hail likely in many areas. This weekend’s slack area of high pressure, that’s been bringing a welcome hint of seasonal weather, will be brushed aside late Monday night as a frontal system introduces a band of rain from the west. This rain should be heaviest in western areas, breaking up as it moves further east early Tuesday, but a polar maritime airmass moving in behind it will set the stage for the next four or five days. The combination of strong solar heating and cold upper temperatures (-25 °C at 500 hPa) will generate good instability, and with sea surface temperatures now ranging from 12 – 15 °C around our coasts, showers will get an early start in the west and expand eastwards troughout each day. Some will start producing lightning from around midday, and will become heavier and more extensive throughout the afternoon and early evening. It looks like just about anywhere could get these showers on Wednesday, but increasing southwesterly winds should mean that areas further east and north may be most affected through Thursday and Friday (Oxegen-goers, take note). Such fine details are tentative at this early stage, so watch our Daily and Oxegen Forecasts for updates nearer the time. Incidentally, conditions look good for more lenticular clouds on Monday, as humidity, winds and stability increase with the approach of the warm front. While they may not be as spectacular as those witnessed over Leinster last Sunday (see Article), areas north of high terrain should see some of these rare clouds form. |
