Hard to predict what will transpire over the coming weekend. Looks like a typical broad long fetch west/south westerly. So probably a lot of cloud for western areas with drizzle at times. Further east and particularly to the east of high ground there is the chance of conditions turning very warm and humid. 

UKMO/ECM/GFS 18z

The UKMO looking the slowest at this point, possibly offering the highest temperatures due to lighter winds and a sniff of a more southerly component to the winds 

Beyond that, probably more of the same, kind of typical that at this point we are looking at the most westerly dominated period of weather for quite some time. However it just looks like pretty normal conditions (albeit quite windy at times), some fairly dry and often warm in the south, cooler and more unsettled generally to the north. There are signs that high pressure to push further north, but it remains at a point where I would like to see some easing down of the jetstream to actually see this being achieved.

The cfs v2 model (9 month run) is still showing an cool and unsettled picture for July. 

Buy shares in Hawaiian Tropic.

The CFS must be the most unreliable model out there.

Decent ridge building on the pub run, T180, likely we will have to wait not more than an week for summer to be back where we left off:

Hmm i wouldnt be so sure about that this model was correct in predicting the tragic winter when Gav Partridge used it for his Christmas updates.  Not one of the updates last November showed anything else but Low pressure barging through off the Atlantic from December right until March.  Lets hope its wrong in what its showing now.

That's quite a big shift in the clusters for D8 - a couple of days ago most of the clusters had strong ridges over the UK. Clearly underestimated the strength of the Atlantic. Or is it just a one-off?

D11-D15, no signal strong enough to report on yet.

Is it a bit early to be sure it’s down to La Niña?

Directly, yes. However the argument in favour tends to be that as a would be event tries to imprint on the atmosphere it drags down GLAAM and keeps the MJO bottled up near Indonesia. 

The Euro and GFS currently suggest a sustained negative bias to angular momentum (not the best for the European summer).

I've noticed a lot recently that modelling initially goes gung ho for Azores HP ridging only for blocking to the N being underestimated and ultimately the jet being further S than first modelled.

To me this is a typical trait of a solar min summer- and I was suspecting that this would be the case a while back.

Looks like a shunt northward for the upcoming weekend's warm snap, according to this morning's GFS 00Z. And the entire run is nowhere near as bad as feared...It doesn't take much 'divine tinkering' for typical 'La Nina' or typical 'low solar' (or whatever) seasons to evolve into something altogether less typical:

GEFS 18Z ens look fairly run-of-the-mill to me; so, no reason to write off summer just yet!:gathering:

Again this morning the ECM has quite high temperatures for Sunday in Central / Eastern England, with temperatures in the mid to high 20s.

Far cooler on the south coast, in the west and in Scotland. 

Quickly cooling down again in the new week but with high pressure poised to return quickly in the south.

I’m not so sure - this 192 chart doesn’t look great:

Greenland high, and that low will likely track straight over the UK

Lo and behold, low moving in. I’m really struggling to see how we get to that week 3 anomaly by the 13th. Even the week 2 looks wrong with those dark blues over Greenland when the GFS, GEM and ECM all show the opposite.

Not a brilliant ECM but I’ve seen worse interesting there is not much change from present to day 10 you have the combination of Scandi trough and Greenland blocking.

AO forecast looking well, negative.

NAO currently most negative it has been seen since early April.

We have been largely free of this northern blocking this warm season so far, so it is a bit of a concern to me not only to sea ice.

First week of July set to see below average conditions everywhere..

Quickly turning into a wet summer for NW parts.

That's one big straw clutch Zak! 

Not really a great deal to get excited about at the moment! Just plodding along with nothingness. Probably explains why it’s so quiet on here today!

Yep, very fair analysis. A one day wonder, maybe two if we're lucky, and of course maybe none if the pattern flattens further.

Weak high pressure does return in the south for a few days the following week but it has dragged in cold air for the north, so not enough time to heat up before the Atlantic moves in again.

Looking pretty flat now until mid-month, and even a tendency to a Scandi trough re-emerging which will make it harder to achieve hot weather.

Clusters seem to have misread the signals a few days ago. Generally, the clusters have picked up the major signals in the 11-15 day period all year long - it's not often they miss something big, but at the moment, this appears to be one of those times. 

However - a little reminder - both May and June had considerably below average starts, and hot spells at the end which the ensembles gave no sign of at the start of each month. I'm not suggesting this month will go the same way at all, but just a reminder that the pattern we see now is not necessarily the pattern for the rest of the summer!
