ANYWEATHER

Bright but cold airmass by day ten , from ecm ,much different from the gfs version ,and ecm evolution I much prefer, although a few Wintry April showers can't be ruled out especially for northeastern areas of Britain. As it's day ten ,a huge pinch of salt as it won't verify like that, but please ,please ,please let's have some sunshine and no rain, surely not a lot to ask for after 9 months of rain even for our 0.01% corner of the Globe!☺

bluearmy 14 days!!! it's been saying that for the last 9 months

Gfs ,really shows how difficult it is to develop a foothold of high pressure across southern Britain ,let alone northern parts ! Big downgrades in the last 24 hrs and I'm not liking the look of where things are going.! The jet stream is way too strong coming across the Atlantic and supresses any kind of development of high pressure across the uk ,apart from some brief ridges from time to time across southern Britain. Not happy at all with the outlook from the gfs , hope ecm can help us out...

Unprecedented, nothing is that when it comes to Planet Earth, third rock from the sun! The only thing that you could call unprecedented is the vast population of humans living on this rock, apart from that there is nothing new under the sun….

Roll on.....☺

At last it looks like the Atlantic is going to slow right down ,both gfs and ecm show a pattern change in the later stages of about a weeks time ,halting the rain train. This chart although a very cold airmass for the time of year would probably be bone dry for most of southern Britain, although any precipitation would be wintry. Plenty of sunshine away from the far northwest of Britain. Anyway some good news at least on the rainfall aspect, but still need to be careful of Jack Frost sniffing about the gardens with charts like thus one!

*Stormforce~beka* there's been sun here at times !☺

20c/68f , max temp today , surprised it didn't get any higher. .....☺

Models firming up on a semi high pressure scenario,next week, firstly for southern Britain and toying with an Atlantic Ridge later ,so the rain train slowing down ,although far from countrywide settled conditions look unlikely for now ,but certainly stepping in the right direction. ...☺

Fully expecting 21c/70f to be breached tomorrow in Eastern England. Todays temperature has reached 19c/66f ,and the plume hasn't reached us yet!

If we did have enough reservoirs etc we would have enough capacity to go without rain for a long time without the need to restrict water supply’s . The fact is there is not enough being done with our water supply infrastructure, and there is all the age old excuses , not enough rain , rain in the wrong place and the wrong type of rain , lame excuses that the general public have become deaf too, and rightly so! Anyway tentative signs of the rain train slowing down as ridges of high pressure become more frequent as we move ahead ….

donnerundblitzer basically the difference in sea level pressure between the Azores high and the Icelandic lows. The difference tightens up the pressure in the Winter due to a strong thermal difference between the poles and the Azores high. Less so in the summer months where there is a much less differential temperature between Pole and the sub -tropical high.....☺

CryoraptorA303 Sounds like you have been on the lash with predictions like that

LightningLover thanks for the info about that . Was going to post this but too tired last night and couldn’t find it. This weekend’s plume is not extraordinary by any means …..

Penrith Snow And ,looks like we are back to square one again after Gfs phantom promise of high pressure.

Looking at the charts for Saturday, that plume of warmth could get temperatures in southern ,especially southeastern parts of Britain up to 21c/70 f ,if the ecm verifies , gfs not so keen as it brings the fragmented cold front in sooner ,any way one to watch ,could be a day for t,shirt and shorts albeit a very quick affair!☺let's hope the ecm is right ....! ☺

After a fine day , some boring old rain showers…….

Lovely Spring day and it’s no April fools joke! Considering it was supposed to be a bit of a washout today , I’m so glad the forecast was wrong!!!

The Potato famine in Ireland was also in part due to excessive moisture and rainfall during the mid-1800s. It wasn't only Ireland that had the potato famine effects. Not sure if there are any comparable and reliable rainfall records from back then ,but it was excessively wet from reports at that time ,rather like we are in today.....

SunSean At last ,we can ramp up good weather for a change, feel like I have been let out of a long dark tunnel today! ☺

Rush2019 same here!☺

sundog fiddled data.....

Beautiful drops of Vitamin D right now. Just wonder if we can manage a day without water falling from the sky

The Ecms charts look about the same now as they do in ten days time! Hope the ten day chart is wrong!

Gfs paints a poor outlook for Iberia and North Africa , in the next ten days ....
