Weather is set fair and warm for the whole of the country for the next ten days at least. Enjoy.

Weather is a bit disappointing at the moment. Yesterdays the models were showing wall to wall sunshine but unfortunately it's cloudy and cool presently.

Agree on that, with the pressure not being massively high, there's a lot more cloud around than I expected holding the temperatures lower.

My general interpretation of the model output during this more settled spell is that the models having been trying to break it down and the only to backtrack nearer the time. The key drivers all seem a bit benign at the moment and I see no reason as to how the jet will suddenly start moving through the UK. I think it will continue to deflect to the NE, Not wall to wall sunshine as fronts will occasionally attack the North West and pressure could be low enough for showers to develop.

Was just about to post the same. Looks at odds to the output at the moment.

The GFS was excellent too. High pressure dominating from start to finish.

The runs are not too bad at all. May shaping up very nicely. With such a weak jet stream, hopefully we can continue to see the Azores and Euro Highs dominating with only brief Atlantic incursions into the North West.

Not too bad at all. The model output does show that either the Azores High or Euro High are always in play so no wash out and hopefully a signal for more settled weather will continue.

There have been a few false dawns on the Ops runs of late. Here's hoping it's right this time.

When does the heatwave arrive?

Agreed, thought it would have warmed up by now. When for a walk at lunchtime at the wind was still going right through you. Looks like this 'heatwave' is not going to give us much before the rain and cold returns.

Aye, enjoy this week, as it's back to crap thereafter.

Here's hoping Summer, been a long Winter. Let's hope this is the pattern for the next four months.

Monday looks friggin awful. 18 hours of persistent rain, sleet and wet snow. Need some Spring warmth soon

It's snowing here now...unbelievable
