Looking for signs of our next bout of settled weather, I’m encouraged by the 0z ECM.
Comparing the 168hrs chart below you can see northern blocking suppressing the jet and associated trough into our area.
The next chart is the 240hrs. You can see by then the northern blocking has evaporated and been replaced by low pressure in the southern Greenland area. The trough has pulled back, getting the jet on a favourable SW-NE axis and allowing the Azores high to ridge in.
Backed up by the 240 mean
