Icon the 1st one out of the blocks, and the first one to be flushed down the lav.. Trough City Central.

As i thought ICON has the trough dominating weather across the UK, Northern France and the Benelux!  I am sure GFS will follow (which i lost faith in about 4 years ago after numerous occasions of predicting heatwaves at +120 then changing to rain and low pressure in the next couple of runs). Why does everyone always focus on GFS? This is not the weather i want in high summer but this is the UK and we can expect cold weather over the next 5 - 6 days before temperatures recover (though remaining very unsettled as the trough - which is difficult to shift, embeds itself for the next two weeks slap bank over the UK)

Yes, troughs have nowhere to go with big blocking to the NE,

 The trough actually manages to miss the UK, goes east into mainland Europe then bounces back West to the UK. Looks a very unnatural movement. For the short term at least, Monday - Thursday is dry on the Icon apart from a decaying front on Tuesday making it cloudy for England.

It's all over by Tuesday night on the GFS.

At this exciting model watching time, we've got a new GFS parallel!!

6z rolling now out to T132:

If my French is serving me well, it is an upgrade in resolution from 13km to 10km...make of it what you will!

GFS already seems to be in a parallel world .. .. .

T120 on UKMO and it doesn't look good, question is will it drift more south with the ridge over the top?

Day 4

UKMO
UW96-21.GIF?06-17

Low pressure sinking south through the UK

 

GFS

gfs-0-96.png?12

Pretty similar, the low drops slightly further west compared to the 06z.

In the end we need the low to cleanly sink away from the UK and not become some complex area of low heights over central/southern Europe.

UKMO at 120hrs perhaps clearing that low for an improvement.. Perhaps.. @Mike Poole thanks for the heads up with that model..

144hrs looks like another Low as our name written on it. 

Edit.... Could my reverse Psychology be paying off...

Wouldn't the low heights over southern Greenland follow?

UKMO 144 is not a good chart. Negatively tilted Azores HP and Scandinavia HP too far apart. It would go quickly downhill from there.

Quite possibly - it’s just an improvement on how bad the 120 chart is. Im desperate here!

Yes I agree, NWS; a warmer easterly by next weekend? And, by then, rain will likely be  no-longer 'much-needed'!:oldgrin:

As usual, once poor charts have appeared as the lilkely solution, things go from bad to worse very quickly. A lot of rain on the GFS as this coming week as the trough hangs around. The UKMO gives a respite at T144 but the next system is heading straight for the UK off the Atlantic.

And there is no 'warmth' to be seen.

Everywhere!

Yep this isn't even just the UK at this point.  Just about everywhere in Europe  apart from Scandi and Italy maybe.

To me this isn't bad, FI yes but warm muggy, even chance of thunder, and the more humid the better for the virus

The only plus point is that it's once again synoptically different from the previous runs, offering a little hope that a better solution could occur but the key point for me is that at T144 we have the models agreeing on significant blocking across N Scandinavia and that's never going to mean settled weather here.

Not at all easy to see what's going on, is it? What with the models throwing out random Noddy runs (and the MetO updates changing daily) it's all a bit odd and hard to make much sense of?:unsure2:
