The good news this fine morning is that we have another Gfs run dominated by high pressure / ridging from start to finish. The 0z indicates temps being variable due to the position / orientation of the high(s) but in any sunshine it would feel pleasant enough..great to see another run with NO Atlantic dross!☀️

ps..still a showery spell for the south tomoz and weekend but looking at the bigger picture it’s nae bad at all!

After this weekends crazy weather, the GFS 12z has signs of more settled weather developing again across the majority of the UK, with temperatures perhaps 1-2c above average in the south.

And then the week after next week there are signs of something a little more chilly.

Let's just stick to the first two charts and ignore the other two ??

What is going to be ‘crazy’ about it? One day with a thundery shower risk and one day of cloud.

Well, as hoped, today was an absolute stonker! And Monday doesn't look like being too shabby either:

Looking at the Gfs 12z operational there’s certainly an increasing thunderstorm risk for the south during the next few days but most of the u k looks fine.

Well, the GEFS 12Z temperature-ensembles hold up quite well (until around the 24th) before scatter sort of takes over:

Evening all

The T+240 view tonight from the main models:

gem-0-240.png?12ECM1-240.GIF?16-0gfs-0-240.png?12gens-0-1-240.png

Respectively - GEM, ECM, GFS Op, GFS Control

You pays your money - well, you know the rest.

As always, huge differences depending on where heights are located - strong heights to the NW and the threat of that colder incursion from Scandinavia remains but nothing so stark from ECM which keeps the core of heights over or just to the NE and GFS OP which aligns the heights nearer to the British Isles so it's an E'ly but nothing very dramatic although the European trough is close.

JMA continues to keep very strong heights over Greenland and to the north so it's a robust E'ly - it looks like another of those "if it were only January" runs.

"this weekends crazy weather" ? Am i missing something? Doesn't seem particularly crazy anywhere. A few thunderstorms in the far south mebs?

Lockdownitis it happening to all of us lol.

One thing you can't lockdown is the weather! - just as well.. mind the atlantic has seemingly gone into lockdown at exact same time we all did, and must have listened to today's three week extension.. uncanny timing.

Really good run from the GFS 18Z tonight if you want the settled weather to continue.

Are the models finally beginning to back away from the idea of retrogression of the high? Certainly seems that way to me.

Looks like high pressure could be with us for a while longer and another warm up from Tuesday looks likely.

But reinforces my perception that April, May & June often bring the best of the weather overall, based on the last 10 years plus...

Yes, the idea of retrogression is not as prominent as it was a day or so ago. After the showery blip, it looks settled with temperatures slightly above average, although eastern coasts will be cooler.

The mega northern blocking that was predicted looks like not happening for now. At day 10 there isn’t a great deal of high pressure over the pole - NOAA anomalies showing this too. AO and NAO staying around neutral or slightly positive. The only trend I can maybe see is slightly cooler and a bit more unsettled by the end of April - both GFS and ECM ensembles are heading this way. Until then dry and temperatures doing pretty well on the whole.

Well this seems a decent height anomaly and an actual contour ridge, not too far  from the pole?

If I can get it to load the one several days ago showed a similar pattern.

I mentioned the longer term - if you go to the 8-14 day anomalies, that ridge is weakening. The day 10 NH profile below shows no high level blocking at all as the heights to the NW recede between day 6-10.

Given my springtime maxim of 'if it ain't cold it's okay', today's GFS 06Z looks quite spiffing::clapping::oldgood:
