There was talk recently of the usefulness of continuity analysis and this is one of those very good opportunities to put it into practice to measure progress.

NWP is back on the trail of suggesting an eastward adjustment of the pattern, the interpretation of that being that the troublesome low frequency tropical signal that roots the unfavourable downstream pattern of Atlantic ridge and overspreading trough is being, at least temporarily, masked by  some influence from the cyclical high frequency MJO signal. . Still room for this to muddy the water a little, but a reasonable chance now of at least a break in the tedium that has been evident since the end of June

Overall, the message is still the same one as before:   Better to not expect long settled spells, but reasonable to continue to expect interruptions to tedium, and within the much more restrictive (to NW Europe fine weather spells) macro hemisphere scale wind-flow regime that has taken over since the Spring

The QBO database has been updated and shows that June continued the stuttering evolution of the easterly downwelling phase. 

Worth repeating yet again, that whilst this summer is not proving a classic, the eccentric nature of the QBO has saved NW European weather from a worse fate such as seen in 2007. The QBO database has updated and shows that June continued, and even reversed further slightly the stuttering evolution of the easterly downwelling phase.

 2020 Jan -2.51 Feb  -3.20 Mar -4.36 Apr -5.03  May -4.86 June -2.78  (to date)

 

QBO Calculated at NOAA PSL 30mb zonal wind at the equator, zonal average For info https://psl.noaa.gov/data/climateindices/list/ units=ms-1

https://psl.noaa.gov/data/correlation/qbo.data

 

Compare that to 2007

2007 Jan +2.61  Feb +2.43  Mar + 1.24   Apr -5.18  May -14.06  June -21.33  > (July -24.92  Aug-27.41  Sept-28.13  Oct -29.05  Nov-27.61  Dec-19.48)

Very robust and rapid downwelling of -ve zonal easterly winds stratospherically generating the anomalous strong heights across the arctic that summer, at the same time as augmenting the strong La Nina influence on the tropospheric pattern

The nature of this relationship will be important for the remainder of the summer, and also have implications for the season(s) to follow in terms of how the weather patterns play out - bearing in mind the longer term continued likelihood of a La Nina-esque circulation adopted to the atmosphere, and relating to how the downstream wavelength is configured accordingly

 

I've seen a few recent tweets about the QBO and the lower bunch of easterlies. Was wondering what your thoughts are since the normal values are 10-50hpa.

Am I correct in saying these - AAM sequences lead to amplified ridge and trough patterns around the Globe. I think we had such an event around Summer 2018..and did we not see ridging become more prevalent as the summer progressed.

Decent Icon at least for the Weekend and early next week, also warming up slowly but surely.

Sunday looking like the first properly decent day for quite a while.

Gfs looks okay too at 144 before a slightly breezy low brews in the Atlantic later on .

GFS 12z unfolding right now and looks like high pressure will this weekend give us a break in this current unsettled pattern but enjoy it while it lasts as it looks like a blip with another huge dose of Autumn on its way in off the Atlantic for about two weeks at max.

Seems a positive sets of output this evening, most importantly I think the UKMO at T+144 looks much stronger than this mornings output. ICON, GEM, GFS and OKMO all have a solid looking High at 1025-27mb over the UK by Sunday lunchtime. As others have said looks as though we'll probably have four decent days and even the usually under-egging of GFS suggesting temps of 24-25C in the south east by the end of the weekend despite less than impressive uppers (25C is decent going from 6/7C 850s). All sorts of possibilities from midweek onwards but let hope we can cling on to something similar to the GFS Ops run which introduces temps back up into the 30's in two weeks time. Surely the GFS Ops run will be an outlier towards the end.....

Let's get the HP in first - no idea what will happen next week, and I suspect nobody else does!

And as we all know, the output for one run from one model two weeks ahead is always 100% accurate ........

GFS 12Z looks really good...So, will it verify, or has it simply 'gone off on one'? I'm guessing, the latter!:oldlaugh:

And the Mighty Navgem has woken from its hibernation of the past few days and delivered a beauty of a run too .  Good set of 12z runs this afternoon / evening.

Sunday's not looking too shoddy at this point.  Although on the face of it the uppers aren't that impressive, it should be feeling plenty warm enough in any sunshine with the slack winds.

The 168 keeps things settled and warm, certainly the further south you are:

ECM drops that pesky upper trough in at day 7 and 8 turning it cooler and showery once more.

Upper trough dropping down to Iberia much like GEM which reinflates the high. Could be good ??

At 240 (just for fun of course), not bad at all.
