Some serious heat on offer for the SE crew now beginning of next week, thereafter a cool down to lower to mid 20’s. No sign of a prolonged hot spell as this summer ticks on by

Just another good day with the models, if you like summer weather. To be absolutely honest, posts from Ian Brown are just downright misleading. I have no idea why he does it. 30-35c widely Mon-Thu. 22-26c Fri-Mon is what the models show, in the SE quadrant at least.

From recollection in my lifetime (I was born in 76) I think it’s happened 10 times: 1983, 1989, 1990, 1994(?), 1995, 1997, 2003, 2006, 2013, 2018. Roughly once every 4 years on average. Actually not dissimilar to the return period of a prolonged snowy spell of several days with snow on the ground in the South.

Morning all. A quick glance at the GEFS shows that the cluster giving a prolonged hot spell has all but disappeared, however we still have a very potent blast of heat coming up in the next few days. 🙂

Models now in agreement on a cool and unsettled spell from late next week. 


From December 27th 2020, zonality will be banned from mixing with the UK. We appreciate that this may come as a shock to younger people and old Uncle Barty. This ban will last for a minimum of ten days.

For the level of heat forecast for next week, the breakdown, now looking most likely on Thursday, appears to be a relatively quiet affair with the hot air withdrawing gracefully eastwards -though BBC WftWA was hedging its bets, offering a second and  less likely alternative model output of a significant heat low over Biscay of the sort which would really deliver thunderstorms

Temperatures return to normal or even slightly above e.g Always at least 20c here on the latest GFS run after the hot spell, typical summer weather.


Yesterday  was a cool and unsettled day here at 17c max and there are no days in the output as cool as that for here. 


 


ECM  out up to 168hours , hardly cool and unsettled either.

Well it was fun watching those extreme record model runs while they lasted. We seem to have some form of consensus now on duration and intensity. There’s no real theme or pattern for the week after the heatwave. Will be interesting to see what evolve, as it’s into the core school holiday period. Stays above average on the near continent.

ECM brings the front across on Wednesday so cooler air into Western and Central areas earlier than the UKMO and GFS.

Gotta love the ECM keeps it hot in the SE out to day 10. Hopefully it's playing a blinder here as its different to most other output.

ECM means would suggest many of the ensembles back a similar evolution to the op. Heat hangs on in the SE +15c 850s, until Friday.  then remains very warm in the south with high pressure building in.  Basically very good.

Still uncertainty for the end of next week. A cluster of runs going for cooler conditions from Friday. Control run very cool on Saturday but Op run stays very hot until Saturday.


Beyond that a general trend to cooler conditions (but probably still close to average) by the start of August.

Looking at UKMO the start of next week looks increasingly hot and dry away from west

By mid-week we start to see showers breaking out with the heat around these are likely to be torrential and thundery where they do develop

Towards the end of the week we continue to see some rain/showers but with fresher air from the west

Shame, I'd rather have seen a continuation of the pleasantly warm, dry conditions but it's not to be.

06z GFS evolves in a similar way to 00z next week. Thursday hot but cold front Thurs pm into Friday and fresh thereafter.

Slight improvement in the GFS Ens: quick look at the 2m T postage stamps gives a mean on Wed a degree up on the earlier run. Thursday still best bet as the transition day. But that's 5 days away- could shift a day either way; the enhancing low that spoils the show hasn't formed yet, and might be more or less intense & extensive than modelled.

 Of course it might all change again in the next day or two.
