Messy T192, should recover though, and we do need the rain, so I'm told.  Here, we had enough in the winter, thanks!

It's May, I'm using a well, a submersible pump, a 1000 litre storage tank (filled weekly, since the downpipe is doing sod all to help) and a hose with a pump for pressure. Just to water a small veg patch and a couple of borders. The grass on the lawn is turning yellow and brown, already! 

Some kind of change, ideally towards exciting and perhaps torrential convective downpours would be greatly appreciated... 

... I suspect this pattern might hold on longer than an unelected official in high-office!

Yeah, maybe, I knew there was a reason I gave up the frame by frame ECM commentary, it is because I'm crap at it.  24hrs between frames is often too difficult to predict.  So why am I doing it again, simple, boredom, it is something to do at 7pm every night, so expect more rubbish commentary from me, as it is part of my lockdown day now, maybe I'll try and do it in the style of a celebrity sports commentator tomorrow...

I wasn’t having a pop or anything, just my twopence worth! You can see if you follow the 850 charts from day 6-10 how as that upper trough and low moves into Western Europe, the heat gets squashed right back down to the southern edges of Europe.

Fair point, I hadn't checked the 850s and you are of course right.  I definitely got that one wrong.

Surprised to see ECM moving toward GFS - well, up to a point. Nowhere near as extreme a solution as the 12Z OP but a clear indication of what I said earlier. As the first HP retreats further east and the British Isles falls out of its influence we need the Azores HP to be ridging in as quickly as possible to maintain a settled picture.

If not, as we see on the ECM 12Z at T+192, the trough fills the gap from the south and we get a breakdown to a more unsettled weather type. The HP tries to build in again by T+240 but is further NW with the trough's influence closer to the SE. This is how wet Junes can occur - the "European Monsoon" as someone called it and there's a hint of the Indian Sub-Continent about how the heat builds up and then pressure drops and the rains come.

As we saw in 2007 and 2012, if you get warm water over the North Atlantic that can encourage blocking scenarios to the north and allow trough formation and development over western Europe with large amounts of rain.

I'm not saying June 2020 will go the same way at all this time but I'd be looking at the European trough and hoping the Azores HP doesn't ridge too far north and north west.

JMA at T192, well it is almost getting towards the scenario that the ECM threatened to and didn't:

ECM mean:

Well while there may be a window for something untoward to happen around T168, we're left at T240 with an Azores ridge heading for Scandi, what's not to like?

The warmth for the coming week has been moderated by high pressure being ever so slightly west of the UK, particularly in the east after midweek. Not done and dusted in my book though - still potential for the high to be pushed easy a little earlier - which would add several degrees to the east coast on Thursday / Friday, although possibly a faster breakdown next weekend. 

Generally nationwide daily maximums look like being 25-28C after Monday, fluctuating as little injections of North Sea get into the system - generally in the low to mid twenties for all.

Good lord you guys are like Greace lightning.. I've only been away a few hours, and it's taken me half an hour just to catch up with your posts.. The ECM mean I feel is better than the op.. We are almost seeing an Azores.. Scandy High link up! I think we all new deep down the mean would be better.. Enjoy your evenings..

Good evening gang .I have been lurking around .its now 10 weeks of isolation for me being vulnerable ,but great that my lady friend as been here with me .well todays weather as blown my runner beans over ,they are in pots .well looking at current charts no heatwave, and in the further outlook medium some heat generated rain  .Do i want a long hot summer !! ,No Thanks ,that in itself will give all of us Grief on top of grief . Thanks for all of those posters who have kept this forum going ,Clap Clap , take care all ,cheers .

10 weeks of isolation is not so bad... 10 weeks of isolation with your new lady friend.. Is Heaven. I wish I had your obvious charm with the ladies mate... Brill stuff though, I'm aware you've had some ruff times of late... And you deserve some good fortune. Its good to see you dropping in occasionally though, all the best my man and stay safe..

ECM op out of the ensemble pack, but a definite trend to lower pressure to end the month. How and what that will bring is still up for debate!

Yes it’s just trended west enough in the last couple of days to probably knock temperatures down a few degrees. At one point 30c looked on. Maybe 26/27/28c tops, but still to be determined.

Which isn't too shabby in May!

Absolutely not. Fantastic for May....I’d take that in June, July and August too! The big heat can be a bit soupy. This is just fine!

ICON 18z at T120 compared with T126 on 12z

More amplification (follow the green yellow transition), trough deeper in region of cool SSTs, edging towards a summer spell to remember,

Exactly, above average temps for all three summer months!  I too prefer pleasantly warm to exceptional heat.

Zoom run T240, we don't really need to see this, to be honest:

image.thumb.jpg.0a96e16ab4a2b46e0c9c50d4849438c1.jpg

I can't see anything close to this happening, of course it is well into FI, anyway.  Form horse is hot dry settled weather into summer, punctuated by unsettled, possibly thundery blips,  for me anyway, we will see....
