It's been suggesting warm and sunny by day 10 for the last 3 or 4 weeks. Hasn't happened.

Don’t even know where to start with that comment, so I won’t even bother. Just your usual casual and lazy model observation we get on here sometimes

Have models not consistently shown a return to normal conditions at about day 10, only to backtrack as we get nearer the time?

Well that is a twist. GFS, GEM and Euro all build pressure from day 9.

No? Couple of day 10 ecm charts there from the last 10 days that don’t show anything settled long term at all. We’ve had few  runs the last 3 days or so that have hinted at improvements that have been pushed back, but it’s been quite widely posted on here than any improvements weren’t likely in May until the last 10 days at least until -ve AAM etc was removed. It looks like taking a bit longer than we’d hoped....but weather never works to a set time does it. It’s just slowly slowly, but hopefully we will be done with this shocking weather soon enough.

In a word, no. There has been very little in the ten day range to be positive about.

Looking promising for some high pressure moving in through the middle of next week on tonight's ECM & GFS. Would settle things down and become much milder than of recent. Still a way off yet but one to watch!

Yes there does seem to be some general theme in the models now for end of may/beginning of June regarding rise in pressure and drier weather.

Indeed I think that given the strength of the sun it would feel very pleasant under these conditions, with the flora romping away after the previous rains...

Just have to get this out of the way first...

As @Uncertainysays what we need now is consistency going forward.....

Having another look at that low pressure system for later this week, coastal gales do continue to look likely, very windy for the south and west inland, winds gusting 50+mph along some coastal parts on Friday, then very showery after the initial frontal band of rain later thursday.

Gfs..

More low pressure probably moving through on sunday and monday so showery weather continuing with longer spells of rain in a few areas..

1923208261_EUROPE_OVERVIEW_150(1).thumb.jpg.335021f1a91bc49ec619cbef26a87ceb.jpg

Tuesday next week high pressure probably moving in from the southwest into many areas with the weather becoming settled and drier especially in the west and southwest..  

1520284969_EUROPE_OVERVIEW_186(2).thumb.jpg.ff1b227ba875ee68e0d47f58b7fd1204.jpg

further ahead to the end of the working week so uncertainty at the moment, but high pressure more likely than not will remain over atleast some parts of the uk until next weekend at least, with the Gfs as an example.

Probably in a position that keeps temperatures average to slightly below average for much of the week but feeling warm enough in sunshine..

Evening all...I'm back early- couldn't resist a cheeky look at the latest runs.

I'm actually feeling very positive by what I've seen today, and it seems the pub run is continuing the positive developments with high pressure building in as early as day 8. 

I really get the sense that a big change is in the offing now as this has been shown for several runs now. The models have toyed with keeping the high to our west but seem to settling on moving it further east now and over the UK. The GFS 18Z looks excellent towards the end of the run.

It’s incorrect to say there hasn’t been suggestions of a return to normality GFS in particular has teased a few times in last few weeks.  There’s now good agreement for a large pressure rise to W/NW of British Isles, it doesn’t appear to be positioning right for warmth at least early days especially in east which could be subject to cool E/NE winds on periphery of where high centres. A little more patience I think needed, probably more likely into June early indications look pleasant for early summer.

Are we finally heading towards a drier, perhaps even warmer spell of weather?

We’ve had a number of false dawns in the modelling, especially in the day 8+ range wherein recently the modelling has been utterly abysmal...

Here’s last Friday’s ECM effort at 192

image.thumb.gif.b5e5b2451105b1f01bf42f58bca8d00c.gif
A major ridge building in the wake of this week’s low

Now today’s 120

image.thumb.png.70e84aed934cd4c5eb760f315b93ce2f.png

The ridge merely a stopgap before the next major unseasonable low barrels in.

The GEFS as ever, have been particularly guilty of signposting a U.K. high when In reality the true signal was a U.K low. 

So how can we trust that there is a real pattern change on the way?

Well, you’ve got to look for consistency across models and runs + supportive background signals. Recent phantom Pressure rises were not supported across all models. Earlier in May the tropics, stuck around the Indian Ocean, were not supportive of U.K. heights either.

Here’s the neutral enso phase 3 composite for May:

image.thumb.png.fa3128adea20ef4518e0df0e7213b539.png
 

But now we have a much more consistent signal for heights near the U.K. and drier, perhaps even relatively warmer weather:

ECM day 10

image.thumb.png.80f700fa0eded1223d74119d1bddaccd.png

GEM day 10

image.thumb.png.4d7400c1d02e0cabda0ffb28576c8b89.png

GFS day 10

image.thumb.png.a9871b649ed59768c4c6c4e9c777d77c.png

Beyond this, the EC clusters very supportive of HP near the U.K. 

image.thumb.png.c2d92508784ce25a5e667ba0fc105e52.png

Some warm, some cool, the vast majority of members would be dry.

image.thumb.png.4be3ec3d7120634c1c9dabf9baad4d51.png

The GEFS in broad agreement.

Even the lesser models are in agreement vis U.K. heights...

The last piece of the puzzle is consistency, at this range plenty of things can go wrong. The pattern change still isn’t really in range of the UKMO. If the charts above stick around for another 48hrs then we can start looking at the orientation and longevity of the high. For now, it’s mere existence is still questionable so we watch and wait as ever.

Josh

Early summer certainly has the best potential for the driest weather of the season this year, IMO. 
 

Personally not expecting any longevity nor any notable protracted spells of heat however. Can’t help but feel the HP will want to draw W and/or N at any given opportunity. 
 

Still, we should tap into something a little more reminiscent of the season we’re in going forward.

GEM 00z is keen for a big UK high and some very warm air by day 9/10. Temps into the mid to upper twenties by Friday there.

GFS goes off the rails a bit and drops an upper trough down over the UK which gets stuck. One to be resolved no doubt.

Going to ignore the GFS run this morning it’s a major cold outlier with the upper trough and 850s nearly 10c below average at times. Hopefully ECM is more like Gem.

Im not buying those charts suggesting a strong high pressure... Whilst the anomalies do have a slight high over us, its still centred to our near west.

Id suggest this GFS 18z chart is more likely as its closest to the NOAA 8-14 day mean. Heat is possible, but not until we enter June. imho.

ECM is sadly very similar. Cold air hangs around as an upper trough lingers to the E/SE of the UK.

I'd expect this is an extreme solution (much like the GEM is on the warm side) and will be a cold ensemble outlier when they appear. Reality probably somewhere in-between the two.

Yup almost identical which isn’t good. Will be interesting to see where ECM sits in its ensembles. GFS is clearly a massive outlier, although not entirely on its own.
