Pretty decent output generally this morning IMO, and certainly an improvement on what we have seen for much of this month, prior to the back end of last week anyway.
I have a feeling we had the chance of a truly memorable winter this season - most things have lined up in our favour - the fly in the ointment is the persistent westerly QBO - if our winter ends up being a disappointment, that will have been the reason.
By now the QBO should be well into its easterly phase and then we would be talking! But for the first time since the QBO has been monitored, the pattern has been broken and not in a way that favours UK winter weather.
