Michael Fish over at Netweather (yes, that is the same Michael Fish who we all remember from his time with the BBC all of those years ago) isn't even offering the same optimism for high pressure building from the west towards the latter part of next week for any length of time, that is being seen at the moment by the shorter term GFS and ECM models which are both predicting that to happen, even here in Scotland.
According to that forecast, this coming weekend and the beginning of next week is still unsettled. This forecast suggests that we might get a very brief window of better weather during the latter part of next week, but only before it all goes downhill again by the following weekend.
In any case, I am always very cautious of what the models are saying anyway, and that includes the so-called more reliable shorter term models especially since it wasn't that long ago that all of the models were predicting a spell of really good weather during the second half of July at around the time when I went on my own break down in the Scottish Borders.
Of course, we all know what actually ended up happening and in fact, that same period which was supposed to give us that really good weather, ended up giving us that washout weekend which was the worst weekend of the entire month in terms of our weather.
That means that for me, summer is well and truly over despite what the models might be saying, not that it ever really got going in this part of the world this year, anyway.
