GFS 12z shifts towards the Euros with a correction west of the cold upper air about 500 miles

UKMO looks like a Bhol weekend of 2 halves !

Fri / Sat ( SE especially ) could be nice

Talk over here of a dramatic drop in temperature over Northern Britain by next Sunday. However, not sure how far south the Arctic front travels. We in the Eastern Alps have been put on snow warning alert at day 10 ( but presently on a fairly low percentage)  The Icon model has performed well over the past few weeks in the medium range 120-180 t and seems to be the model to follow at the moment. Much of Western Europe in a no mans zone with the Azores upper low persistent  in tandem with the White Sea low pressure system and  blocking in force over the North Atlantic.

Looks great. Can’t wait for some 9-10c days! Just what people want in May...

Interesting observations. The models somehow find a way to keep directing that impending cold air over to us, despite now collapsing the high that was supposed to migrate up to Greenland. 

It is May after all. One month that always seems to get us caught short into thinking it’s summer, only to then deliver a low blow and sometimes even threaten snow! 

Hoping by post mid month, we can feast our eyes onto some plume activity. Something similar to late May 2017 or 18 would do just nice!

It isn’t looking great for mid month onwards at the moment sadly. Global circulations and teleconnections look poor for settled and warm weather for the UK. Met office update also reflects this and goes for unsettled weather to dominate, which is what you’d expect. Let’s see how things pan out though. They’ve been wrong before!

Must say the GEFS 12z mean looks preety good for high pressure / strong ridging so a predominantly settled outlook across most of the u k would seem the logical conclusion based on this run!☀️

Most definitely... There forecasts have been well off the pace for the last few days here, so I'm certainly not gonna hold my breath on there several week forecast being much better.. Perhaps its a lack of data.. Who knows.. But at present it looks to me like anything beyond 5 days may as well be binned.

You're right, it doesn't look great from next Sunday/Monday onwards and the teleconnections I believe, aren't promising (still beyond my skill set I'm afraid but I have read the views of others). However, I have seen a fair few horrible, cold, dull and wet looking charts beyond the reliable (and even in the semi-reliable) this spring and, apart from the wash-out Tuesday just gone, I've seen hardly any poor weather here in tropical Bedfordshire for about 6 or 7 weeks

That's not to say it won't turn this time round but the cold charts have substantially downgraded nearer the time this spring (as well as winter and autumn!!)

Teleconnections - winter 18/19. All that needs to be said in terms of their ability to be wide of the mark.

Cannot believe some are ramping up cold charts. Hopefully, they will soon remember it’s May.

Mid-night last night our forecast 850mb temp was 2c. The village height is 1650m asl. Snow settled for a short time. Min air temp was 1c. At the same time -2c air temp was being recorded at 2200m on surrounding peaks. I think convective showers at this time of year can produce snow down to fairly low levels and not necessary of  Arctic origin. Looking at the longer term charts at day 10 , all gets a bit messy over Euroland. Austria could easily get into a warm sector as the UK  goes into May chill.  All interesting weather watching.

According to the 12Z ensembles, temps stay well-up for around seven days before taking a tumble; the extent of which remains uncertain...

Check this out for a temperature drop! From 25C* in the south on Saturday to perhaps less than 10C* on Sunday?

Quite a drop in temperature being shown by ECM. Quite a long way off though, and it will more than likely be moderated. GFS showing a different scenario too.

Must not RAMP..oh what the hell, Really impressive virtual cold plunge from the Arctic for the time of year again from the ECM..it really is a dog with a bone regarding this idea..!

Evening all, the GFS is still swinging wildly as most other models are so it's still uncertain about what will happen longer term. If you saw my post in this thread earlier the GFS 06z was showing a plume just scraping us. The GFS 12z still shows us drawing in some warmer weather the week after next week but it has the plume directly hitting E Europe, and as always it is uncertain what will happen as it is not in a reliable time frame. In the short term though, it will definitely start to warm up a bit next week, with the low twenties likely in the south, and the high teens likely elsewhere. It could turn unsettled after the warm spell next weekend with rain or showers possible on Friday. And, before you, ask... my barbecue will be out next week! Hope everyone on here had a good weekend, stay safe ☀️❤️

It’s been stuck further South all day! Persistent drizzle, sometimes rain in Wiltshire except for a few hours around the middle of the day.
