Good morning Gang ,i havent posted much lately but been Lurking , great to see some summery weather forecasted by the charts .I do have a hunch that the next month or so will see big swings ,but lets hope the summer overall is one of BBQS ,Thunderstorms , and STELLA on ice , followed by a nice Autumn then the Winter from Hell ,i usually pop in here for a read most days , Thanks for all the great posts , cheers Legritter .

So the ECM ensemble mean close to the GEFS mean at T240: GEFS at same time: Jet going north, opportunities for high pressure to build across the UK, late May looking good to me.

There's good news from the GEFS 12z mean in the mid / longer term (as per the 6z mean) with a blocked pattern returning following a more changeable / unsettled atlantic blip..the mean shows the azores high and scandi high teaming up with the jet pushed well to the n / nw and predominantly settled and warm weather for the uk...fingers crossed!

Today A dry sunny start to the holiday weekend for most areas but with fronts lingering to the west so more cloud is possible with patchy rain in the northwest. Mist and low cloud quite likely in western and coastal areas as well so temps depressed somewhat. Overnight a similar scenario with patchy rain persisting in western Scotland and mist and low cloud around western coasts with clear skies elsewhere. . Sunday The wave that can be seen away to the south west on the 00 fax chart tracks north east to be just west of the Hebrides at midday so again patchy rain and cooler conditions for the north west of Scotland whilst elsewhere plenty of warm sunshine apart from some coastal areas where mist and fog may well persist Monday Still a very slack gradient over most of the UK under the influence of the ridge so another sunny and very warm day for most areas, particularly the south east (I take no responsibility for model temps which are I suspect under cooked by two or three degrees in places) the exception once again being Scotland where a front is lingering. But changes are afoot with an upper low ejected from the Canada/Greenland trough complex into the Atlantic with the associated surface low in mid Atlantic on it's travels east. Overnight and through Tuesday the low tracks quite sharply NE/N courtesy of the block to the east but the associated fronts do partly traverse the UK bringing patchy rain and cooler conditions to the west with the east and southeast remaining very warm and sunny. But the aforementioned trough factory is in full production now and another intense upper low is on it's way east and this has spawned an nasty surface low of 965mb by 00 Wednesday. This is of course according to the gfs. On Wednesday this low also curves north east, albeit slightly further east than the previous one, but the associated fronts also partly cross the country bringing rain, sometimes heavy along with strengthening winds, and cooler conditions to the west and inland as they progress east. This could well initiate some thundery activity in the east.

GFS longer term similar to the 6z, jet steam to the north, decent weather to us, here from T192: All good after the unsettled blip mid next week, according to GFS of course. This mean chart at T360 is also sending a pretty strong signal in my view:

GEM shows the unsettled weather not last overly long

Glorious weather today!! Interesting GFS 6z today post T192, starting to show northerly jet stream and anticyclonic dominated weather. I really think this summer has a chance of being a memorable one, well the early part of it anyway! GEM 0z headed towards a good place too. ECM good too at T240

Looking at ECM this morning next week it looks like the bulk of the rain will be the further west you are ROI, Northern Ireland and NW Scotland, for example, look like prime spots the further south and east you are the less rain you'll see

South Coast and East Coast done really well with no mist or low cloud blowing in off the sea what a gawjus day!

That's not the case, we're in the east and it has been as sunny as the already high 1981-2010 mean. So much so that the 1991-2020 mean will likely be higher still. Last 11 summers here compared to the 1981-2010 average of 567hrs: 2007: 550hrs (97%) 2008: 517hrs (91%) 2009: 602hrs (106%) 2010: 573hrs (101%) 2011: 552hrs (97%) 2012: 444hrs (78%) 2013: 640hrs (113%) 2014: 619hrs (109%) 2015: 589hrs (104%) 2016: 556hrs (98%) 2017: 599hrs (106%) All pretty close to average apart from the dire 2012. They average out at 100.1% of normal over the 11 years exactly. Only 5 of those summers were wetter than average and 3 were cooler than average (and even then by no more than 0.3C below average). We really haven't done too badly at all, locally at least.

Stunning day with unbroken sunshine. Unbelievable that we are seeing this on a bank holiday weekend.

A few days after that low the jet stream moves north allowing pressure to build

Interestingly April was an above average month in terms of temperature overall. That said a lot of the cooler spells during that month also came with a lot of cloud so when we saw temperatres of 6/7C by day the night time temperatures were not really any lower than this, then add a couple of very warm days and we got an overall above average month (skew likely by well above average minima). So after some more settled and warmer weather this weekend it looks like we will see a battle develop between a rdige building to our east and a trough trying to push eastwards through the UK. A set up like this to me usually points to towards temperatures being on the warm side of average as cooler air from the north west really struggles to push towards us, you can also see the real possibility of developing drier and potential very warm weather if that ridge gains more influence on our weather.

Yes indeed,plus they know its pretty for them easy to forecast.

Here's the ECM 12z in full, showing the unsettled period earlier next week, followed by a resurgence of high pressure, this run maybe getting a touch far north, meaning the potential for thunder in the south, the detail will change but the consistent signal from all models to push the jet stream north is what gives optimism that this may be a different sort of summer than recent years. Very interesting model watching, has been all spring if I'm honest. Edit, this was supposed to be an animated GIF, thwarted by software, here's the final frame although I expect it won't enlarge if you click it. Hmmmm. Further edit: confused reaction justified, I would like the Software sorted out, please. Thanks.

Stunning day here, crystal clear skies, a very gentle breeze, and invitingly warm. Temp. 18.6C, dew point 8.8C. The high today was 20.7C.

summer is blowing hot and cold so far, will it get cold again after this

Was only just yesterday the Met Office were predicting UV levels to hit 6 and now they predict UV levels of 7 for Sunday and Monday. Gonna have a cracking tan by the time Bank Holiday finishes!

Silence re the 12s, let's put that right. Well it looks like the bank holiday heat will give way to less settled conditions for a while, but what next, a look at T240: ECM bullish about another warm settled spell: Maybe thunder chance in the south on this one. GEM: Maybe the high a little too east but I think the important thing is the amplified pattern. GFS: This one looking less settled. So the picture continues: warm periods, less settled periods, but no really nasty weather. All good and power to build. Edit, charts still won't enlarge when clicked on after software update, irritating, hope you can read them anyway.

Cracking day yesterday cracking day today.. Absolutely stunning evening for late spring. Summer is still 4 weeks away yet people! Anything now in my eyes is early bonus before the "real heat" chance begins and we hunt the 30+ days... But we are talking about the now and it's pretty good for the start of May if you ask me! 3-4 days ahead of very warm sunshine and clear skies.. For most.. We must remember that this time of year and more so this year thanks to a cooler winter the sea is still cold so immediate coasts much cooler and misty/foggy

London is forecast to have just over 45 hours of sunshine from Saturday to Monday that in its self might be close to a record for the early May bank holiday weekend

Anyone else lost the button in the bottom right which took you back to the top of the page?

Downton Cuckoo fair pulls in the crowds all right,chaos on even the lanes though,with people finding ways to try and avoid it lol

such a lovely and warm day. without being oppressive... I hope we get ;loads of days like this

Another lovely day today.

Interesting high res. MODIS at 1200 UTC ( courtesy DSRS) showing the frontal cloud over NW Scotland, sea fog around the coasts and the cloud and fog along the north Cornwall and Devon coasts which so far has failed to lift here despite a couple of promising attempts.

10.2 to the 4th 0.5 above the 61 to 90 average 0.3 below the 81 to 10 average ______________________________________ Current high this month 10.2 to the 4th

This hottest ever May Day bank holiday mantra is misplaced I think. The bank holiday was only instigated in 1978 so there's much less data to go on than for the individual daily temperature records, which go back much further. I'd bet the daily temperature records for all of May 1 to May 7 are all higher than the 23.6C for the bank holiday.

Hi Knocks! This seems to have crept up on many ice watchers. With min ice looking to have 'stabilised' folk had backed off in interest but then the 2015 Christmas pole melt woke people back up to what was going on with interest being shown to the rapid drop off in Freezing Degree Days ( FDD's) illustrating the lack of cold ice was being treated to over winter. No deep cold = thinner,warmer ice. It makes you wonder just what the min figure would have been had we seen an 07'/2012 melt season? We should also not be lulled into a false sense of security with recent cloudy ,cool melt seasons. With final figures not being that dissimilar from what it took a 'perfect melt season' to give us only a decade ago we should all be aware of just the scale of losses any repeat of that synoptic would bring. We are in Low Solar and this year is still being dominated by HP and warmer temps beyond 80N that the long term average ( already 2017 had dropped below the long term average by now?) so did low solar play a part in the sea ice lows of 07'/2012? We are about to find out!

00z GFS shows the split for rain

Just planted my runner beans and french beans - taking a chance but they were getting really huge in growhouse! It's a fine line this time of the year - all that hard work producing the plants and jack frost undoes it all! Next few days looking good though - hopefully give the plants a chance to acclimatise.

The ecm is broadly similar to the gfs

Satellite at 0530 UTC, Thick fog down here at the moment

why mention 2012? one of the poorest summers on record. I have not suggested its going to be 2006 summer. Just seems people look for extremes..Anyway I said I was hoping it would follow the pattern of summers in the past.. didn't say it was going to happen that way.. I also mentioned once the Atlantic gears up. It usually means summers are poor.Anyhow for the record. I think 2018 will be one of the better summers in recent years.

It's been windy here throughout April. Normally the winds are calm or light. I do hope the jet returns to it's normal position this summer (north of Scotland), instead of it sitting directly over southern England ruining everything like it's done for the past few years.

not really so unusual back in the 70's

One thing ive noticed is the lack of wind this year so far . Bodes well for unsettled periods to be fleeting..Ie if we get an active Atlantic season. everything moves through quickly and we don't get chance for longer settled periods and for the weather to settle down and warm up.. The Jet maybe further north this summer.. Of course if the Atlantic stirs up. our summer will go down the drain quickly.

Just watched an article on Flat Eathers apparently the world is flat

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm very interested in the potential for real summery weather in June, with the models, and Met Office update suggesting warm spells interspersed with unsettled spells in May - hot weather with thundery outbreaks looks a natural evolution of this pattern if the average jet stream position moves north. So I'm looking for model evidence of this, and as it's beyond the main models, the CFS into June is relevant. So I'm keeping my eye on this, looking at evidence of this sort of weather, not at any particular date, that can't be predicted this far out, but is the model showing this at any point in the next month or so. Here from the 9 month 6z for the beginning of June: Will provide updates on this if there's interest, as my expectations for summer are very much on the up as things stand.

It's also been one of coldest April's too overall, I don't think I've ever had heating on as much for time of year. I know we had that mini heatwave but it was very short lived.

I would suggest that Antarctica is a very large cog , and one of the first places you would expect to witness warming on a planetary scale , given that it is the coldest place on this particular planet , I see the quote from the excellent Professor Hawking at the bottom of your post Mr Stone , a wise man indeed , my favourite quote , and the reason ( probably ) why I question all the science I see , "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

1) Hottest April day for 70 years 2) Hottest London marathon on record 3) Models showing possibility of hottest ever May Day bank holiday..... ECM for 07/05/2018 UKMO for 07/05/2018 Am I sensing a trend here, or is it wishful thinking? Could even more temperature records be broken this summer? Maybe we could even coin a name for this phenomenon - something like 'world heating' perhaps. Or is there already a name for it?

First 5 days of May 1990 saw temps hit 26c everyday somewhere in the UK but it cooled a bit for the Bank Holiday Monday which like this year was on the 7th so its not impossible for warmth around the Bank Holiday w/e.The models are coming on leaps and bounds having so far this year shown early, two cold spells,one heatwave and im sure this weekend will be another correct outcome

Surprised how flat it is in here considering the great bank holiday weekend weather that's on the way, at least for england and wales..tonight's Ecm 12z ensemble mean looks an absolute peach in the reliable timeframe..looking forward to another early taste of summer!

After the rain cleared this afternoon, a visit to SWT Balgavies to suss out the Osprey pair. The loch was quiet. Eventually the male returned looking quite bedraggled and fish-less. After drying out he hopped onto the nest where the female is now incubating. In the meantime, treated to a trio of Red Squirrels. This little female was hogging the feeders. Apart from the above, there were a few Swallows, House and Sand Martins feeding over the loch.
