The other concern apart from what Chris said is the continual lack of rainfall over areas that need it. Looks like another below average month on the cards over much of central and southern England.


Indeed.

It looks like some 'maybe rain' Weds and then I can't see any rain in prospect for the south for the foreseeable future...

Not been particularly dry in southeast Essex. So fed up with the dull, drearyness of it so far this month. But with the models now in much agreement for a spell of much sunnier weather on the way things can only get better! :-)

Very dry and settled after todays rain clears, maybe a slight hiccup on Saturday with a decaying front and drizzle over more western regions other than GFS 06Z is very settled and warm right throughout next week and beyond with temps 5-7C above average at 14-17c. Infact some of the charts this morning are nearly worthy a 'if only it were July' comment.

Have to say you dont see an ensemble run as dry as this very often! (this is for the London area)

Its looking remarkably warm this coming week, I'm looking forward to it :) Very HP dominated and GFS keeps postponing the cooler conditions - and even then there isn't much rain on it...

Looking cooler around the 16th for a few days.

18Z GFS Shows a slack low positioning itself over England for the weekend - looks like being a damp one for most of England and Wales. ECM 12Z in agreement. All models show a trough covering the whole UK so fresher conditions expected for a couple of days thereafter.

Well, if this is high pressure I don't want it. Maxed out at 10 degrees yesterday and today isn't looking any better

Quite possibly the best agreement I've ever seen from the London GFS ensembles. Looks like things will be warm and settled across Europe following this weekend slight disturbance.

Well warmth may well depend on insolation now that we near the equinox. That said this week's HP hasn't exactly delivered consistent clear skies for everyone.

It's been dull here too. Sun came out at 3-30. Nice clear skies now.

I have just looked at GFS too and there is no sign of even positive 850 temps in the near future. Sticking around zero or below for a good while

I was looking at the GFS charts on Netweather Dave. They don't show anything warm at all.

I suppose the chart you posted is more reliable as it shows all the runs and the average of them. :)
