To get people in the mood for autumn, here are some charts from more recent years:

As requested, here is a closer look at this coming autumn from the Canadian Cansips model.
Lets start off with September...

Ok... The 500mb flow does look a tad unsettled for next month, but the precipitation chart shows that it really isn't as bad as it looks, likewise (especially for the south east) it looks like it could well be a bit on the warm side. So on the whole, certainly not a bad month. :)

October...

Now then, this does look like its gonna be an unsettled month, with low pressure, above average rainfall, and average temperatures... Hey, it's October. :pardon:

And finally November...

Again, November has a deep area of low pressure over most of Europe, and we are on the north western edge of it, as a result it doesn't look too wet at this stage, and again average temperatures.
So make of this what you will, but remember, average temperature in November will be (or hopefully should be) much cooler than they are now.
So on the whole, I've seen a lot worse, and for what its worth, with regards to looking for trends, I really do rate this model from Canada. :D

Not to take too seriously but the long rangers do seem to be hinting at some pretty rough autumn weather at times, especially the second half where I wouldn't be too surprised to see some proper autumn storms, the anomaly would suggest that these could track through the south of the UK and into central Europe rather than a typical Scotland/Scandinavia track.

I guess we have rode our luck in recent years with a lack of particularly stormy conditions since that infamous winter of 2013/14.

2015/2016 was the next stormy one, particularly November and December.

I'm betting on similar to last year.

More of the current dross until the very end of August when 'Summer' will finally arrive to all of the UK.

Pleasantly warm and dry September with maybe some unseasonably late thunderstorms again.

Average October, both temperatures and rainfall.

Calm November with a tantalising tease of winter at the end for about a week before it all goes wrong and December decides that temperatures should really be higher than in July, even with constant cloud cover.

December and January reasonably storm free but then a pile of storms from late January-early March and no prolonged cold spells.

Absolutely no evidence to back this up but it does seem like our seasons have been dispaced by a couple of months for some reason.

We've skipped autumn here and gone straight to winter. Had many a warmer and more pleasant day in that season than today.

An autumnal feel first thing this morning but warming up nicely now. Yesterday definitely felt more like late September though.

Very Autumnal this morning :)

Low of 7c here on the hillside but down to 5c in the valleys where mist had formed overnight.

It has felt chilly at night times here for a while now, very autumnal. Maybe we will have a cold, stormy autumn this year with early snow?

How awful...

My mum wants that low to head to Greece and give her a break from the non-stop heat but it doesn't look likely.

GloSea5 update is out for Sep/Oct/Nov and beyond.

Not that you can glean much detail from a mean over a 3 month period, but presumably more stormy than recent years with the North faring the worst.

It looks to me that September is likely to be the most unsettled month. If you check the Oct/Nov/Dec and Nov/Dec/Jan it has a large postive anomaly over Europe (including the UK) - continental drought and above average temperatures!

The pressure chart for Nov/Dec/Jan could not look any worse for early winter!  Not a good trend emerging as the CFSv2 is also pretty atrocious for that period.

If it's of any comfort you can view their forecasts for this summer. Needless to say that bar about two weeks, they got that one wrong.

True, but the model does have some support from others.  However, while it's a long way off, the run of mild winters resumed with a vengeance in 2013 and my hunch is that winter 2017/18 will not be the one to break us out of this mild pattern.
