GFS 168. Cut off low out west screams heatwave potential.

By the weekend we're looking at high 20s/low 30s widely for England, and that's with the GFS's famous underestimation of max temps

Unfortunately it does indeed look like we will see another hot spell around next weekend with both the Euro and GFS advertising this albeit in different ways. 

Euro is essentially from day 7 a plumy pressure build (important because the plume at the start means high uppers in the high rather than spending days waiting on them).

GFS is essentially a bit more like the spell in the second half of June in that the trough is more dominant and so its much less stable.

It’s the way all computer models work. The temperature they give is the maximum for the preceding interval rather than for that precise period of time. I think it’s for the preceding 6 hours but could be 3 hours. Either way, it only showed a high of 32’C today, and widely lower than that. About 6 degrees off across the board.

Thanks for that

I’ve had little time for watching the models in any detail in the last few days, but impressed by the hot day today, temperatures exceeded my expectation of about max 36C.  But on to the future, and here are the main models at T144:

GFS less keen on the plume, GEM and UKMO more keen and a hot start to August looking the form horse.  ECM maybe in between re amplification where it is needed.  Let’s see how this one develops...

ECM T192, another good dose of heat from the southeast.

Interesting to compare 850s with GEM at same time:

Here high temperatures much further west, so influencing for longer.  ECM looks another short sharp shock.

Yes, well, as one short-lived heatwave moves off, we start looking at the next one.

GFS 12Z is a case of "close but no cigar" - warm yes but the 20c 850hpa line stays just to the south. GEM is much the same.

ECM 12Z is rolling out and, as is often the case, more of a friend for the fans of heat. Even so, it looks as though, for now, and I'm sure it will change a lot in the coming days, the heat may not quite be as extensive as it has been today.

I don’t agree re the GEM, I think it is the better run. Some seem to be getting overexcited by the +20C isotherm, it is a recent visitor only in recent years, previously once a decade, and in those days the best heatwaves generally started further west, as per the GEM.

Not worth worrying about at this stage, but the ECM 240 chart looks like it would lead to a trough splitting the high pressure and heading over the UK. No way we could be that unlucky again!

The output of the past 48 hours has been overwhelming, and I'm fairly confident we will get that heatwave next weekend (one that will include more of the country, too), but with the yellows not too far off the Irish coast, I'd still like a couple more days before considering this to be "in the bag". 

ECM raw maximums from Friday 7th to Monday 10th are around the 28C mark each day - which we know will be an underestimate of between 2C and 4C, or even 5C like today though that's unusual - I'll leave others to do the maths

Definately got the looks of a possible heatwave, though caution should be had that this whole set-up is still a ways away in the grand scheme of things and it wouldn't require too much of a shift SE to put the UK back into the cooler set-up around the south-east side of the upper low.

Also, hurricane Isaias may well prove to be a wildcard here depending on the exact track and how much land interaction it ends up having....both in a good or  a bad way in terms of any heatwave in the 5-10 day range,

I think we now have a good idea of the form horse for next weekend and beyond.  It is hot and sunny, this ECM mean is sensational:

With longevity in that in my view.  What has changed?  Well AAM for one thing, here CFS take:

Yes, I know CFS is like a yearly stopped clock, right twice a year.  It has been forecasting this for two months and no show, but it is showing now and promotes a great start to August.  It’s been a while since we said that.  In fact, given it was 2003, it was ten years before I joined Netweather!

Any updates gfs 18z? Still flat or more amplified?

Day 6 charts

GFS

gfs-0-144.png

Now the thing that bugs me is the area around Greenland and the model's persistence at placing some very low heights over the region, which doesn't appear as influential on any of the other runs. It would certainly produce a flatter solution.This run sees a brief plume at the end of next week before high pressure builds more strongly across the UK.

UKMO

UW144-21.GIF?01-06

Best chart of the entire summer. the Atlantic trough has dug as far south as the Azores with high pressure over most of Europe. The day 7/8 could be spectacular with heat pumped directly northwards.

GEM

gem-0-144.png?00

Between the two options above, looks like a southerly plume setting up, Friday and Saturday are very hot with the 20C isotherm getting into the UK again before a cold front struggles through.
