39 years ago yesterday the infamous Great Storm of 1987 happened which had a wind gust equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane the term “rapidly intensifying” is a definition that was added to weather forecasts in the UK to label lows undergoing bombogenesis post the Great Storm below is a publication of the Great Storm by the United Kingdom Meteorological Office.

Cymraeg/Welsh

Ddoe, roedd hi’n 39 mlynedd ers y Storm Fawr enwog ym 1987 – digwyddiad a welodd chwythau gwynt oedd yn cyfateb i gorwynt Categori 3. Cyflwynwyd y term “dwysáu’n gyflym” i ragolygon tywydd yn y DU yn dilyn y Storm Fawr, er mwyn disgrifio systemau pwysedd isel sy’n mynd trwy broses o “fombogenesis”. Isod, ceir cyhoeddiad gan Swyddfa Meteorolegol y Deyrnas Unedig (y Met Office) sy’n ymwneud â’r Storm Fawr.

The Great Storm of 1987 affected many parts of the UK on the night of 15-16 October. Following the devastation it caused, find out how our approach has adapted and improved to give us more detail on potential future events.

13/10/2026

The remnant baroclinic circulation of Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias will begin to undergo significant rapid intensification over the open North Atlantic through the next 24-36 hours, the term bombogenesis would be appropriate as the low pressure area moves towards Iceland through Wednesday night into Thursday; bringing a sharp Cold front at surface level and wet/stormy conditions.

Cymraeg/Welsh

Bydd cylchrediad baroclinig gweddilliol y Seiclon Ôl-drofannol Isaias yn dechrau dwysáu'n sylweddol ac yn gyflym dros ddyfroedd agored Gogledd yr Iwerydd dros y 24 i 36 awr nesaf; mae'r term 'bombogenesis' yn briodol wrth i'r ardal o bwysedd isel symud tuag at Wlad yr Iâ rhwng nos Fercher a dydd Iau, gan ddod â ffrynt oer sydyn ar lefel y ddaear ynghyd ag amodau gwlyb a stormydd.

The first Atlantic hurricane of the Atlantic season is only hours away from an upgrade; this will also be the first hurricane to develop since Hurricane Melissa in late October of 2025. The ‘I’ named storm are infamous for becoming hurricanes so don’t be surprised if Isaias is a hurricane.

Cymraeg/Welsh

Dim ond oriau sydd ar ôl cyn i gorwynt cyntaf tymor yr Iwerydd gael ei uwchraddio; hwn hefyd fydd y corwynt cyntaf i ddatblygu ers Corwynt Melissa ddiwedd mis Hydref 2025. Mae stormydd sy'n dechrau gyda'r llythyren ‘I’ yn enwog am droi'n gorwyntoedd, felly peidiwch â synnu os bydd Isaias yn troi'n gorwynt.

20/09/2026

The first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season may develop closer to Europe than the Tropical Atlantic and the United States it will be the first hurricane to form outside the MDR (Main Development Region) since Melissa in October 2025 if Tropical Storm Fay becomes a Hurricane overnight then it will have taken 11 months to unleash a new hurricane in the Atlantic.

Cymraeg/Welsh

Gallai corwynt cyntaf tymor corwyntoedd yr Iwerydd yn 2026 ddatblygu yn nes at Ewrop nag at yr Iwerydd Trofannol a'r Unol Daleithiau; hwn fyddai'r corwynt cyntaf i ffurfio y tu allan i'r MDR (Prif Ranbarth Datblygu) ers Melissa ym mis Hydref 2025. Os bydd y Storm Drofannol Fay yn troi'n gorwynt dros nos, bydd wedi cymryd 11 mis i gorwynt newydd ymddangos yn yr Iwerydd.

There are currently potential signals of a possible unseasonable warm period or a heatwave, which may affect parts of the British Isles September as a Azores surface high combines with a European surface high over the UK later this weekend; it will turn warm or very warm across much of the UK with England and Wales remaining the warmest during the daytime hours this could also coincide with unseasonable mild nighttime temperatures. A change in wind flow may occur during the beginning to middle of next week as a Bermuda surface high approaches from the west-southwest moves; towards the Orkney and Shetland Islands and Northern Scotland through midweek, which may promote a slight cooling trend with chillier nights encroaching in from a easterly or northeasterly flow if heatwave thresholds are to be met it appears more probable across England and Wales through next week before temperatures trend downward by the end of the week into next weekend. Further into voodoo land a possible cooler pattern could prevail as a Scandinavian surface high builds over the Norwegian Sea and Scandinavia all in all remaining dry from next week into next weekend with signals of a unseasonably warm late September heatwave before turning cooler and milder, with some hints of chillier nights by October.

Ar hyn o bryd mae arwyddion posibl o gyfnod cynnes anhymhorol neu don wres, a allai effeithio ar rannau o Ynysoedd Prydain ym mis Medi wrth i uchafbwynt wyneb yr Azores gyfuno ag uchafbwynt wyneb Ewropeaidd dros y DU yn ddiweddarach y penwythnos hwn; bydd yn troi'n gynnes neu'n gynnes iawn ar draws llawer o'r DU gyda Chymru a Lloegr yn parhau i fod y cynhesaf yn ystod oriau'r dydd; gallai hyn hefyd gyd-daro â thymheredd nosol ysgafn anhymhorol. Gall newid yn llif y gwynt ddigwydd rhwng dechrau i ganol yr wythnos nesaf wrth i uchafbwynt wyneb Bermuda agosáu o'r gorllewin-de-orllewin symud; tuag at Ynysoedd Orkney a Shetland a Gogledd yr Alban trwy ganol yr wythnos, a allai hyrwyddo tuedd oeri bach gyda nosweithiau oerach yn dod i mewn o lif dwyreiniol neu ogledd-ddwyreiniol. Os yw trothwyon ton wres i'w cyrraedd, mae'n ymddangos yn fwy tebygol ledled Cymru a Lloegr trwy gydol yr wythnos nesaf cyn i'r tymheredd dueddu i lawr erbyn diwedd yr wythnos i mewn i'r penwythnos nesaf.

A new historical meteorological record has been broken during the modern Atlantic satellite era dating back to 1960 a new benchmark will be set when a Atlantic hurricane does manage to develop; at the moment with a Strong to Historic El Niño conditions to persist through into February before a quick transition towards ENSO neutral occurring during the Northern Hemisphere Spring/early Summer 2027. The effects of a Strong El Niño is being felt globally in different ways and effecting the Tropical Atlantic Ocean is one of the ways that Hurricane Season is being affected across the Caribbean and the Main Development Region for Hurricane activity which is likely the cause of wind shear hostilities, this would allow Tropical systems to develop more closer to the United States, Bermuda and the Azores which appear more likely for development during the remainder of hurricane season if we don’t have a Atlantic hurricane by the end of the 2026 that will be the first ever season not to have a hurricane develop since Hurricane Melissa back in mid October 2025 and that will be a record of itself. Hurricane Erin 2001 remains a latest hurricane in the Atlantic to develop outside the Greek alphabet and coincidentally occurred during a major day in history which would make the world go dark on 9/11.

Mae record hanesyddol newydd ym maes meteoroleg wedi'i thorri yn ystod cyfnod modern y lloerennau yn yr Iwerydd (sy'n ymestyn yn ôl i 1960); bydd safon newydd yn cael ei gosod pan fydd corwynt yn yr Iwerydd yn llwyddo i ddatblygu. Ar hyn o bryd, disgwylir i amodau El Niño – sy'n amrywio o gryf i hanesyddol – barhau tan fis Chwefror, cyn i gyfnod o niwtraliaeth ENSO ddechrau yn ystod gwanwyn neu ddechrau haf 2027 yn Hemisffer y Gogledd. Mae effeithiau El Niño cryf yn cael eu teimlo ledled y byd mewn ffyrdd amrywiol; un o'r effeithiau yw'r ffordd y mae'n effeithio ar Gefnfor yr Iwerydd Trofannol a'r Prif Ranbarth Datblygu ar gyfer gweithgaredd corwyntoedd. Mae'n debygol mai hyn sy'n achosi amodau anffafriol oherwydd cneifio gwynt (wind shear), gan ganiatáu i systemau trofannol ddatblygu'n agosach at yr Unol Daleithiau, Bermuda ac Ynysoedd yr Azores – lle mae mwy o debygolrwydd y bydd datblygiad yn digwydd yn ystod gweddill y tymor corwyntoedd. Os na fydd corwynt yn yr Iwerydd yn datblygu erbyn diwedd 2026, hwn fydd y tymor cyntaf erioed heb unrhyw gorwynt ers Corwynt Melissa yng nghanol mis Hydref 2025, a bydd hynny'n record ynddo'i hun. Corwynt Erin (2001) yw'r corwynt diweddaraf y tu allan i'r wyddor Groeg i ddatblygu yn yr Iwerydd ac yn gyd-ddigwyddiadol, digwyddodd ar ddiwrnod arwyddocaol yn hanes y byd – 11 Medi (9/11) – pan suddodd y byd i dywyllwch.

Good morning all there is a risk of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to develop across much of Wales and Northern England today; before tracking into Central and Eastern England through the mid to late afternoon hours, the main hazards from the strongest storms will be marginally large hail, strong thunderstorm wind gusts, funnel cloud/Brief Tornado alongside occasional to frequent lightning and heavy rain showers; the main area of focus appears to be across Northern England and Wales and thunderstorm activity should wane through early to mid evening.

The United Kingdom Meteorological Office has issued a yellow Thunderstorm warning for much of Wales and Northern, Central and Eastern England from noon till 9:00pm BST (21:00).

Cymraeg/Welsh

Bore da i bawb. Mae risg y bydd stormydd mellt a tharanau cryf neu ddifrifol – rhai yn ynysig ac eraill yn wasgaredig – yn datblygu ar draws llawer o Gymru a Gogledd Lloegr heddiw. Cyn iddynt symud i gyfeiriad Canolbarth a Dwyrain Lloegr yn ystod canol a diwedd y prynhawn, y prif beryglon yn sgil y stormydd cryfaf fydd cenllysg sy'n eithaf mawr, gwyntoedd cryfion yn gysylltiedig â'r stormydd, cymylau twndis neu tornado byr, ynghyd â mellt achlysurol neu aml a chawodydd trwm o law. Y prif ardal dan sylw ymddengys yw Gogledd Lloegr a Chymru, a dylai gweithgaredd y stormydd leihau wrth i'r nos gyrraedd, rhwng dechrau a chanol y noson.

Mae Swyddfa Meteorolegol y Deyrnas Unedig wedi cyhoeddi rhybudd melyn am stormydd mellt a tharannau ar gyfer rhan helaeth o Gymru a gogledd, canolbarth a dwyrain Lloegr, o hanner dydd tan 9:00yh BST (21:00).

27/08/2026

Good morning all here is the latest radar update from Netweather Radar indicating a line of showers including multicellular strong thunderstorms along and ahead of a Occluded surface front; there is a possibility of embedded supercells that could grow in upscale within this line and pose the potential for large hail and gusty thunderstorm winds. Further developments are underway across portions of East Anglia and the East Midlands along a Stationary Boundary/Pseudo-Warm front early this morning. Finally further strong to severe thunderstorm activity is still possible throughout this morning into this afternoon through Wales. Thunderstorms will be capable of frequent to intense cloud to ground lightning and Extreme Rainfall potential.

Cymraeg/Welsh

Bore da bawb, dyma'r diweddariad radar diweddaraf gan Netweather Radar sy'n nodi llinell o gawodydd gan gynnwys stormydd mellt a tharanau cryf amlgellog ar hyd ac o'i flaen; mae'n bosibl y bydd uwchgelloedd wedi'u hymgorffori a allai dyfu i fyny o fewn y llinell hon a chreu'r potensial am genllysg mawr a gwyntoedd mellt a tharanau cryfion. Mae datblygiadau pellach ar y gweill ar draws rhannau o Ddwyrain Anglia a Dwyrain Canolbarth Lloegr ar hyd Ffin Sefydlog/Ffrynt Ffug-Gynnes yn gynnar y bore yma. Yn olaf, mae gweithgaredd stormydd mellt a tharanau cryf i ddifrifol pellach yn dal yn bosibl drwy gydol y bore yma i'r prynhawn yma ledled Cymru. Bydd stormydd mellt a tharanau yn gallu achosi mellt o gymylau i dir yn aml i ddwys a photensial o law eithafol.
