Metdesk forecasts a cold end of November in NW Europe

Forecaster Metdesk expects a cold snap with little wind in northwest Europe at the end of November after a mild and windy start to the month.

"A cold and low wind episode" is likely to take place in northwest Europe in the final third of the month, according to the most recent update provided by Metdesk today. This could boost heating and gas-fired demand in the region.

The forecaster does not expect temperatures as cold as in December 2022 however, when overnight lows fell 2.7°C below the norm in London and 1.5ºC in Essen.

The first half of November is nevertheless expected to be "mild" or even "very mild" in Europe, the forecaster added. The remnants of Hurricane Melissa are likely to pass eastwards between Scotland and Iceland and lead to mild weather at the beginning of November, with strong winds affecting the UK and Norway in particular, Metdesk specified.

And "some signs of a large high pressure area expanding over northwest and central Europe" could cause Dunkelflaute events — when weather conditions are both overcast and still — more likely in the next two weeks, the forecaster said.

Some dunkelflaute events took place in November and December last year, caused by intense areas of high pressure formed over northwest Europe. These events lasted at least a week, the firm said.
