Useful site for European weather warnings.

First of all, I know that it is Sunday and I am meant to be enjoying a self imposed internet ban. However, a little voice in my head, after watching the Countryfile forecast today, told me to check out the Forum discussions regarding this up-coming cold Thursday (bit too short to be described as a snap me-thinks!).

I then looked at a site that I stumbled across about 1 month ago. A quick look at Hungary shows a weather warning for extreme low temperatures. My question is this:

Is this a localised cooling or is it expected to spread? As I think I saw on the Countryfile forecast, we are to start experiencing Easterly winds from the end of next week.

There is some cold air progged sinking South over Eastern Europe on the Eastern Flank of the high building over Nern Europe, probably why the temps are expected to drop below freezing later this week, particularly as Ern European countries such as Hungary are far removed from maritime influences which moderate cooling temps more in NW Europe.

Thanks Nick.

It looks like I made a mistake regarding the position of the HP on Friday. As such, there will not be much influence from continental Europe this week.
