Cracking ECM....by 240 we are nearly in June and still having 850s of 0 to -2c across the UK. Depressing.

Fear not, I found some summery charts from the GEFS 12z into early June!

This weekend sees the energy flows from the west and north combining to flatten the subtropical high and resulting in the upper trough becoming the dominant feature which leads to this surface analysis next Tuesday. But of course the detail will change

Here's the ECM, GEM, GFS and FV3 at T240:

Forget the UK for a mo, ECM alone maintaining heights over Greenland, I hope this is a signal that is on the way out, but not quite extinguished yet it seems.

I feel the Ecm 12z @ T+240 screams potential..bare with me..  once the trough swings southeast across the uk the azores high which is waiting patiently in the azores for its opportunity will then build strongly NE across the uk.. nae problem!! :shok::crazy:

The dreaded summer green blobs are a complete lottery. Sometimes they produce days of endless rain but this time it hasnt been too bad. Sunny spells and warm today and that looks set to continue until Friday. One of those where the weather is nowhere near as bad as the charts look.

You may laugh, you may not but bare with me..  The Gem 12z follows a similar route to the Ecm run but a bit faster and you can see what I meant by my earlier comments regarding the azores high waiting for the trough to clear east for it to then build in behind it!:oldgood:

Comparing the Ecm 12z ensemble mean to the operational @ T+240 hours, the mean gets my vote!!!!

The ext EPS has been reasonable consistent over the last three days with the pattern and has in fact 'sharpened' it up a tad which is not totally surprising. The main players upstream are the trough/ridge in the SW/SE united States and the vortex lobe in the Hudson Bay area. This combination results in a strong westerly upper flow exiting the north east seaboard under the continuing Greenland ridge to the now established trough over the UK. This would portend unsettled weather, perhaps trending towards a N/S split, and temps a tad below average.

I get that you like HLB and record cold snaps, perhaps one of these days we will get one, but hopefully at the appropriate time of year! And I think we are highly honoured you have at least promised us a Spanish plume or 2...thankyou kind sir not sure about the really cold Arctic though, below is a map of temperatures there last month, and tbh, things haven't changed much since...

More hyperbole yet again, the arctic has actually been much warmer average. Where is the record cold coming from? and before you say the below anomaly chart is fake, why is arctic sea ice extent so depleted?

Besides... a northerly hardly represents thunderstorm potential at its best! A variable outlook ahead and a cool end to May is a possibility but that depends on whether we get a northerly or the low pressure next week gets stuck out west. A cool NW/N wind looks the more likely for now.

The NH 500mb profile and the North Atlantic surface analysis for midnight

gfs-nhemi-z500_anom-8396800.thumb.png.b78ff3a276408d4b2be726a2b93a99d8.pngPPVA89.thumb.gif.ba27704f5df6efec2019b06f6a277925.gif

Once early morning stratus/mist has cleared the east coast it should be a sunny and warm day in the light airs for N.Ireland, Wales and England with just a slight risk of an isolated shower. A tad cooler along the coasts as sea breezes kick in.  Not so Scotland where currently there is some persistent rain across the north east, courtesy of the occlusion, but this should cease as the front drifts away. But only to be replaced by the development of heavy, and perhaps thundery, showers through the day which will spread down through central and southern areas, They could well coalesce along the trough. The temp variation reflects all of this

PPVE89.thumb.gif.b494aba37b6a6bc951ac59c982d9574c.gif809479335_maxtu.thumb.png.028bae3224057a85e8156e4842775120.pngps_reflec_d02_15.thumb.png.c2a771223de6ac53b5ce295c263dc515.pngps_reflec_d02_18.thumb.png.e0f02823beaf0f5ef48c3993f2e988e2.pngps_reflec_d02_21.thumb.png.30ff5578e480c7c9848ab12f273a09ad.pngps_reflec_d02_24.thumb.png.74c048cf31c659496cdebd2fa07158b4.png

The showers will eventually die out this evening leaving a clear night for all with the odd fog patch by morning. But some rain will sneak into the north of Scotland again by morning as the occlusion moves a tad south.

PPVG89.thumb.gif.0fa50d887f97f952dfb5df1cf1a32209.gif1655099951_r21.thumb.png.fe339366edb422fd05f55f981e468834.png1583263346_r06.thumb.png.a0e8dd7517e64d497651b305707be1f3.png

Apart from some brief showery rain across N. Ireland and northern England for a time in the morning it will be another warm and sunny day in most places on Wednesday with the usual caveats. But the front will continue to bring persistent rain to northern Scotland throughout the day

PPVI89.thumb.gif.18eaa5a9260d35bd86ca857ffd76d646.gif1023863260_maxwed.thumb.png.987806085b4515f18857d28dcd7b8b92.pngp09.thumb.png.bdf65355c090d0cab85dcf434b88a236.pngp12.thumb.png.c305d2917e45dd085caa17f440d9d00e.pngp15.thumb.png.0023fce819404df92ae11478402446c4.pngp18.thumb.png.3cbfa65e2c686cdac58c298e8720832a.png

Over Wednesday night and into Thursday the slow change is underway that has been mentioned in previous posts and the troughs to the NE and in the Atlantic are taking closer order. At the moment this just results in an occlusion edging in to Ireland and the south west which  will bring patchy rain to western regions through Thursday, Elsewhere still dry and quite warm

The waving, and weakening, occlusion tracks slowly across the country on Friday thus a sunshine and showers day. But another frontal system is approaching west of Ireland

PPVM89.thumb.gif.4af6e6b7908c7fd17affde9d1d075ded.gif959132396_rainfr.thumb.png.55826c77e464ac4bb5999c511705ec13.png1770281640_maxfr.thumb.png.4573c679275479ac9eb08cd2203fd85b.png

Much of the country will be dry with the odd shower as the occlusion is still hanging about, but during the day more cloud and patchy rain will arrive in the west and south,courtesy of the warm front which is part of the elongated trough across the Atlantic.

The  detail over Sunday and Monday is still tricky as frontal systems slide east so as a general overview we are looking at sunshine and showers with some longer periods of rain and also quite breezy at first.

After that we are looking at trough domination and unsettled but best left I feel. Obviously all of this is according to the gfs

Ensembles are not too bad either, and still suggest a pressure-rise, come June:

The ecm has the wave tracking across northern Scotland on Sunday with the associated front moving south east. So quite wet in the north. and another front associated with the main trough bringing rain the north west on Monday. As mentioned earlier a fair mix of weather,

From this point the trough taking charge and the detail best left a while

GFS also shows it gradually turning more unsettled as we end May and move into June with some rain for all parts northern Scotland could see close to 100mm in some parts

Seems like not too bad of a week settled weather-wise for Southern UK in general (apart from a few odd showers at times), and feeling reasonable in the sunny spells. Probably not as disturbed as I previously thought a few days ago. And good weather for the Boov’s from Home to have an outdoor disco party!

Though as you say, with what the charts show, generally more changeable over Northern and North-Eastern areas of the U.K with more in the way of lower pressure. Though I guess even these areas could see some brighter weather at times.
