Steering low pressure continues to be present over the northern Atlantic near Iceland this week, associated troughs and disturbances affect the North Sea from time to time. Ex-hurricane Ernesto makes the move across the northern Atlantic and the remnants will most likely move across Ireland, Scotland and the northern North Sea on Thursday.
Just like last week, a west-southwesterly flow with unsettled weather conditions will dominate the weather over the North Sea, while high pressure can be found predominantly over the European mainland this week. Former hurricane Ernesto, currently located east of Newfoundland, is downgraded into a tropical storm and will rapidly move ENE across the Atlantic the coming days. It will further loose intensity as it follows a track across the cooler waters of the northern Atlantic. The remnants of Ernesto are expected to move NE across Ireland, Scotland and the northern North Sea on Thursday.
