According to the latest model output, the first half of this month is particular, is forecast to be a lot more unsettled and therefore, much wetter than of late. Whilst the shorter term models are currently seeing no signs of that more unsettled weather ending any time some, there are some indications amongst a few of the longer term models that the second half of this month could then see a return to drier and more settled conditions.
Since this is one of our wettest months of the year on average, there is every chance that this could end up being our first wetter than average month for a while if the models are correct. However, it is worth noting that we have been here many times during the last several months only for the models to then back away from that more unsettled outlook with any unsettled spells which have occurred then being only brief before we have then returned to high pressure and drier weather.
As a result, my hunch is to say that it won't be as unsettled during this month as what the models are suggesting and although I think it will be wetter than anything which we saw during the winter, our rainfall totals will probably once again, end up being no more than around average in these parts.
