The 4wk JMA update is following the UKMO script anyway. High slap bang over us week two and then signal for negative mslp in the Med with positive heights over Greenland to see out the month.

Week 4 shows higher than normal heights over Greenland and the North Atlantic

Tamara, can I just take this moment to say how outstanding your input is on here (even though I can't pretend to understand half of it)! Kol ha'kvod - as they say :) 

I second that Lady Tolstoy. Excellent post.

The output at the moment is certainly a disappointment - no getting away from that. I had looked for a retrogression rather than a flattening of the high. However my computer screen reads 1st December. So - 1 down, about 89 to go not counting March. Background signals are still very good and the frost down here over the last 3 days has been great to see. Proper winter landscape. Still much to be enthusiastic about...

Perfect, lets keep that vibe going...BIG EC46 tonight, if this sticks too its guns this place will stop with so much negativity I'm sure.

Sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but what time is the EC46 tonight?

2200, it's not guaranteed we see the results however, we rely on someone posting it who has access.

Some excellent posts in the last few hours.

Good point @Banbury about some pinning hopes on 15th in response to hearing 'mid-month'; its not that precise a term and typical leeway with weather pattern signals is in the order of a week or even ten days later in time.

@nick sussex I too am not entirely convinced about the flattening of our ridge... even if the Atlantic clears the first hurdle, if there's too much signal for flattening the jet being derived from the tropics then there could be enough impact even in the 6-8 day range to tip the balance back in favour of the ridge making steps to the northwest.

Something to watch out for while we wait for the longer term to settle down.

Just one of those statistical quirks that Nov. '62 was also 5.5 for the CET. :closedeyes:

And that's where any similarities will end:)

With vast amounts of explanations going on and what could or should happen, its really only any good if the atmosphere responds to the proposed effects?

It seems that something can happen to quickly override these factors.  Hence when / ifs / nots creeping into posts.  

The signal for significant northern blocking in near to mid term for me is not there.....so most of Dec  at least.  Potential of better last third/ week imo

One of the good aspects of the JMA forecast is that they show their forecast for the tropics: I cannot understand it but you'll be able to see what goes with the NH forecast I posted up the page.

Just being realistic / cautious..I would settle for a colder December than last year but that wouldn't be difficult would it:D

It's actually 5.6°C this year, I know as I won it. :-) 

It would be nice  if it was a portent, but unfortunately  The similarity probably doesn't mean anything.

Power cuts at the ECMWF this afternoon may mean this evening's 12z will be delayed. They are in the process of restarting the super computers which may take up to 2 hours.

Will it make any difference to the EC46?

The GEFS 6z mean shows a milder swly flow eventually  setting in next week with quite a mobile / changeable pattern which has positive NAO stamped all over it. Towards mid Dec shows less mild air sourced more from the north atlantic than mid with temps returning closer to average but no hints in the extended range of anything wintry.

Good hopefully a good old reset will bring back the blocking confidence :D

It definitely needs a reboot, the outlook is more autumnal than wintry with mild / average temps indicated.

I'd have thought so.
