If this morning's GFS is right the south should see some decent rainfall in the next 10 days

Euro could produce several hours of heavy rainfall as well.

A typical British chart with high pressure all around and low pressure stuck over the UK with nowhere to go

What an absolutely terrible ecm this morning! Extensive northern blocking and the green circle of doom sat over the UK.

Its hard not to despair with our wretched climate it really is..

A repeat of 2012 is unlikely  imo

It's a fair comment Mokidugway... But why?

The GloSea model is going for above average heights for Summer as a whole issued on 11th May

It doesn't show much signal for precipitation but it didn't in the previous very wet summers. I remember Gavin Partridge saying, in a video, these small patches of trapped low pressure were very difficult for the long range models to pick up. Supposedly a low solar signal and low ice pattern ... we have both at the moment.

Not bad for your location, it's the days before that, Midlands could be looking at 3 days of non stop rain, mon-wed, dry at night though

Yes with the slow moving low just out west next week looks quite unsettled with most of us seeing some showers or rain.

The T84hrs fax for Tuesday and the raw UK chart for T120hrs shows the expected picture with the UK under the influence of this upper trough for the coming week.

I would think most of us will see some brighter periods but it will be a case of watching the daily forecasts to see where the best conditions may be day on day for outside activities,probably more of an April showers type feel in the coming days.

This weather type looks like prevailing into next weekend on current outputs indeed looking at the ECM mean for day 7 shows only slow signs of any improvement as the upper trough takes it's time to move east.

There are tentative signs of ridging trying to ease in from the Atlantic going into week 2 but maybe too early to say whether this could develop into a more settled period.

Here they come, the mathematical climate wizards using maths to figure out when the next poor summer will be.  

The climate isn't based on maths. It doesn't operate on 2's and 7's or any figure.  If that was possible I'm sure we could work out the next 200 years in just a few taps on a calculator.

The weather you get is not predictable but I've read plenty of science papers that show predictable cycles in climate. They're not necessarily sure of what drives them but they are visible in a variety of proxies.

Well no drought worries for a while if that 12 GFS run is close to the mark. Some nice slack LP systems in FI too which would promote some decent convection.

Very true, but looking like the next 10 days at least will be wet and unsettled. The meto have consistently called for high pressure and dry/warm weather into early June..,,I'm not seeing it myself, but hopefully they are on to something.

Quite an intriguing gfs run which is paying some homage to the recent ecm runs. . The renewed amplification now sees the upper  trough tracking south becoming a cut off low south of the UK, as, at the same time, the high pressure ridges north east. On the surface this spawns a large, slack low pressure area over western Europe.

From this area a more concentrated low develops with some quite cold air (relatively speaking) in the southern quadrant. :shok:
