Hopefully we will see a better spell of weather as GFS op depicts.

Goodness knows we could do with it up here,it's been thoroughly horrible this last 10 days or so..

The GFS 12Z Ops run is a bit of warm outlier at times but within the pack, after the lows this week its takes an absolute age to get the mean 850s back to average. Could really do with an extended period of them being above average, still that sort of thing is a long way off.

The high is starting to budge in on the 12z ECM

This ECM 240 chart has caught my eye...

ECM only goes to 240 so we can't see beyond that, but that looks like a cut-off low developing.

If so, this would act as a trigger for bringing up very warm or even hot air from Spain.

It probably won't happen but it's quite interesting nonetheless...

Always worth looking for these things and the Atlantic low following behind may help! 

Despite very fine weather on yet another op run, unusually for July the models aren't warming things up that quickly. Starting low 20s next weekend, slowly picking up to mid 20s at the start of the following week, I'm guessing perhaps a 27C by Tuesday / Wednesday. Usually with a static high in July you'd be thinking of 30C within a few days.

Models showing high pressure back on the scene by this time next week, as a ridge develops and creates a cell over the UK. No heatwave as the ridge is building in relatively cool air, no injection of any warm uppers.

Into mid July, possibility we may hold onto fine warmer conditions, much dependent on how strong any heights over the UK become and where they end up.

Clusters D8 - ridging tendency over UK, little Atlantic threat at this point

By D10 the Atlantic is trying to build back but far from clear if this will be successful

This morning's GFS 00Z isn't too bad, and really hits the spot at T+168; thereafter, however, things don't look very straightforward at all:

Even before we get to the weekend there's considerable differences in how GFS & ECM handle the back end of this week. GFS keeps a tighter, deeper low and the associated frontal activity stays further north while ECM goes with an open wave that brining more precipitation into the south, to make it more complicated ICON backs ECM and the open wave while GEM seems to go with GFS and the tighter, deeper low option. 

Positively though they all seems to end up in the same situation with a 1025mb high plonked over the top of the UK by Saturday. UKMO seems to be the odd one out and fails to build high pressure as strongly which could clearly lead to trouble further down the line. The GFS Ops run quickly becomes unsettled by day 8/9 as high pressure east and west regress away from the UK, this would be desperately bad luck and leave a trough forming in situ over head, fortunately only a couple of the ensembles go for this option and the control run and most of the ensembles are much, much warmer and more settled. Have say though having just seem the full ECM run it quickly becomes very disappointing as pressure fades away very quickly and lets the door open to the Atlantic. 

All in all a very mixed bag this morning with the only consensus being high pressure over the UK for days 6 & 7 with uncertainty both before and afterwards.....

In this sequence from the GFS the pesky jet stream seems to give the UK a break around the 11th July:

.....but then it’s back again with a vengeance for the following week....

Not favourable for settled weather, I’d guess.   There needs to be something of a change in this pattern in the next couple of weeks to bring us a really warm, dry and settled two or three week spell of proper mid-summer weather before we begin talking about Autumn...

Update with the 500 mb anomaly charts. No real help from them at all in my view.

Monday 7 July

Less confidence this morning again, ec-gfs have differing looking charts from one another and no consistency from day to day. However gfs does keep height rises ne of uk and across towards Iceland/Greenland.

Much the same can be said of noaa as it has in 24 hours developed a ridge and considerable +ve heights just wnw of the uk.

In these situations the 500 mb charts offer no forecast skill so a waiting game. If anything the idea of European heights seems less likely than heights/ridging wnw/nw or even over the uk! It will be ironic if gfs ends up being closest to what the actual charts show 6-10 day ahead.

Disappointing ECM op.

Brief ridge for the weekend then the Atlantic back in control. Hopefully an outlier.

A little bit at the end, but on the whole it's a good ensemble match. Bit worrying, looks like it could collapse away very quickly!

The Euro and GFS both demonstrate different ways of doing it (the Euro just dissolves the high while the GFS has it absorbed by one over north west Russia) but the net result is the same with our settled spell essentially reduced to a 3 day affair at days 5-8.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick though, eh?

Be grateful for whatever fine weather we can get.

I didn't get too much sleep last night so I'm not surprised I made that mistake 

But yeah, the GFS is looking good, on day 11 especially. Hopefully it will be a sign of things to come...
