Although +/- 0.1C is of no consequence to would-be skinny dippers, the enormous amount of energy water contains (relative to the same volume of air) might/does have considerable influence on weather patterns?

Those maps only tell you what they tell you!

Ed..

 Whilst I understand the point you are making, I feel Alexis point is valid.

Wouldn't it be better to simply have a range of +/- 0.05C as being grey either side zero, and then 0.1C differences further up (or down) the scale.?

It would then be more meaningful for everyone.

PS Being a 'coder' myself, I understand why they have taken the 'easy' approach, but they should be thinking about the 'users' requirements as well.

Deja vu anyone? Haven't we seen quite few patterns, like this one, in recent summers?

Although we're in enso neutral territory,  there is definitely a La Nina lag to the N hemisphere pattern atm with northern blocking, azores high displaced to the west and NW to SE jet flow into W Europe. 

As we get towards the end of May, the summer pattern will begin to show it's hand... if so, we better lose this signal soon, unless cool and rain is your thing!

I’ve not been around for a day - What happened to the high pressure? It’s almost gone / non-existent on GFS now and it looks like it’s trying to bring in a small little developing low pressure from the north east through the middle of this week...what a mess / disappointment!!

I can’t see any downgrade to the mid / longer term mean, to me it looks pretty much the same as recent days? which points to a gradually improving outlook in terms of drier and at least slightly warmer conditions which we should notice more by the Bank Holiday weekend and into early June?...I fully expect the Azores high / ridge to wax and wane etc but I don’t see a return to the garbage which has dominated May so far! ☀️...baby steps into summer!

The output is miles better than it was a couple of days ago to my eyes. It looks pretty much certain to warm up now next week, certainly after midweek. Nothing outstanding but a lot better than what we've had.

The latest GFS run showing the possibility of 20C before the month is out which almost seems like a miracle in this very depressing May. Could be high teens for many from Thursday onwards.

Yeah I was going to say looking at the gfs it does look warmer than it is now, any spells of sunshine and you can add a degree or 2 on it as well, could reach low 20s not going to pass that up

How did I know you'd see the glass half empty

In your absence the charts were looking  worse than they currently are for anything settled so I'm optimistic they'll continue to improve

Edited it for you, lol...

Talking of which.... they still suggest pressure on the high side, so after a messy battle, high should win out, although nothing overly strong....yet...

Could the first half of next week see some of us back in Thunderstorm Central?

A look at the Euro does highlight the risk of potential retrogression after an interim settled spell. You can see that when the blocking breaks down in a few days it leaves a block to our north which joins with the Azores High. While this can work out (blocking over Scandi was common in 2018), it can go very wrong (and I would suggest is probably more likely to) if you dont have persistent low heights around Greenland (an extreme example probably being 12 or 08). The Euro looks like it's trying to build pressure over Greenland again so the route from there would likely be in the wrong direction for summer lovers.

I don’t pretend to be an expert..but who really is an expert?..hmm....the weather does what it wants, not what we say it will do! ..anyway, on the cusp of summer..here’s some potential!

Model watching is also like a box of chocolates - mostly full of empty wrappers and sweets that nobody wants because somebody else got there first and took all the good ones.

Cherry picked GEFS in FI though, not accurate and of no interest! can be misleading to new members, they might see that chart and think that's what it will be like

surely GEFS 26 is very low res
