Model output discussion 9th April onwards


Recommended Posts

Ops run unfortunately and unusually (compared to recent history) near the top of the pack. Majority of ensembles unsettled and cooler. But maybe the Ops run is sniffing out the improvements many are suggesting from mid month onwards.

Aye guys, things are clearly looking up: no frost for the foreseeable, nowt cold, either. I will though, agree with @Alderc on one point: it would be even more convincing, were the operational somewhere in the middle of the ensemble:

Models and emsembles all suggest the longwave atlantic trough making a beeline for the UK for the foreseeable, outcome means often rather unsettled conditions and temps never too far away from average, cool maxima cancelled out by milder minima. Not very inspiring, but better than the cyclonic cold conditions of the past week.

Little change to the outlook, cool and showery with the exception of tomorrow in the SE nothing remotely warm to look forward too.

Would love to see the days following that - you can see how a plume could arise out of that a few days down the line...

Not entirely true, there is some warmth here and there in the GEFS 12z longer term and at least the week ahead looks milder by day, indeed warm in the sunny spells between showers, and, for a change!..no or very little in the way of overnight frosts...so it won’t feel like winter!

You do a great job in finding positives and keeping things optimistic but Im sorry I think we really need a level set here, 14-16 is not warm and in the showers it’ll be colder than that. ECM and GFS struggle to temps past 15c again for the next ten days, not even teens further north. It’s a cool outlook.

14 to 16 is pretty much average and in the sunshine will be warm, if you want 25 move to the med

I’m sure we’ll have 25c lots in the summer and as much as I’m sure many people would love to leave our dire climate behind Family, Friends and Careers are clearly more important. Still whether average or not, and I think I’d be right in saying 14c is average for pretty nowhere in the uk In May (average for Inverness is 14.6c) but still many on here intent on polishing the stinky model output for reasons I just don’t understand.

the average for much of England, particularly the south is around 16-19C so 14-16 is somewhat cool, but in sunny spells will feel fine. so, in some ways a cool week, but not to the extent which we've seen recently.

No, 16-18c is the mid May average for most of England, and seeing as we have been below average for about 45 of the last 50 days it's not too much to ask for a couple of degrees above average. So no, what we are going through is not normal and we are not spoilt or greedy for asking for 20C in the middle of May so if you want single figures in the middle of May how about YOU move to the North coast of Norway.

16 degrees is my average, early May it’s 14 which rises to 17 at the end of May, and the only place that is close to 18 as a May average is Heathrow which comes in at 17.9° according to met office but generally speaking according to the met office site 16 or 17 is average for most places in England, and looking at the temps for the next 7 days at least, things are looking at 16 or 16 degrees especially here In the south east, and as far as I’m concerned that’s good enough, I want 25 like everyone but if we have to wait until July that’s fine 17 is good enough for now

Let's please keep it friendly in here. Some recent posts belong in the spring thread, Let's not stray any further off topic and continue with Model Output Discussion.

Thanks

Strange, arguing about a degree or two. Humidity, cloud, wind, all effect the feel of the temps. Can anyone actually identify the correct temperature consistently given that? 

Next week and probably beyond is well within the average range which isnt a set figure. 

Theres no heat on offer, but its only mid may. Around average especially in a strong sun will feel very pleasant and isnt something to moan about.

ECM clusters T192-T240:

There’s a lot of them, but picking the bones out of that, seems a tendency to retrogress the trough back west of the UK.  The later 240+ chart:

…looks inconclusive so we wait a while more for the first hint of summer proper on the models…

I couldn't agree with you more, mushy: and neither could the GFS 00Z!

Pretty disappointing 00z runs again. I’m hoping that we see an abrupt change in output in the next couple of days.

image.thumb.png.0907a372bcb59211dd3e902529d20199.png

This AAM forecast doesn’t really tie in with a big trough in NW Europe. I’d expect to see something more settled appearing soon.

There’s no sugar coating it ECM is probably poorer than GFS this morning unsettled all the way with low pressure just suck over the UK, surface temps struggling with ECM having nothing above 14c for the next 10days after today.
