Whether this very early promise develops or not it’s certainly (on paper) not the usual zonal dross. The majority of the long range seasonal output remains on the mild and wet side for W Europe but they’ve been mugged off before and might be again.


For an excellent running analysis of the latest trends and thinking I’d recommend Gavin P’s site and his weekly round-up.

Agreed - it’s almost like the algorithms are straining every sinew to revert to a default zonal but something keeps saying ‘no we’re going full northern blocking so get lost’ ๐Ÿ˜‰


Whether it’s unusual or not I’m not sure but some of the output going towards December would tempt Gary Sarre back from retirement.

It feels like we are sort of sleep walking into a cold pattern - its nice to see a seasonal trend develop in line with the months.

The GFS is starting to come in line about that Eastern Canada and Newfoundland Low Pressure that is modelled today from ICON and UKMO- to start entering the UK at about 120, 144 hrs from today.


Crossing NW Atlantic and tracking SE, but losing the cold air as it mixes into less cold air in North Atlantic.


Blocking over SW Norwegian Sea to our North, and in Iceland and Greenland is showing up, GFS, UKMO and ICON show that cold air, but it is coldest over Central and North Greenland and Iceland and to the North and NE of the Norwegian Sea.


That Deep Low might weaken as we see more updates over next 5 days- a downgrade maybe possible.


If that cold air to our North and NE wraps in more closer around this SE Tracking PV Low that is to move SE from NE USA Newfoundland at 96-120 hours, it needs to really be strong and windy one to be able to drag colder East and NE winds if it does move SE from the UK after Tuesday next week.


The GFS, ICON and UKMO also have more Deep Low's over Eastern and Northern Canada shown in today's 12z run, moving to Eastern NE Canada and West to NW of Newfoundland at T120 - T144hrs.


With High Pressure over Greenland and Norwegian Sea and Iceland and Western N. Atlantic Eastern USA maybe there is some optimism I cannot guarantee- more updates will give accurate picture for November 10th to 12th et all.


Climate is warming up, Scotland and N Ireland and North England still often gets some Winter frost, ice and snow, November to March, but the SE and South UK including S Central England and Wales, together with the West and North through the year, they sometimes get more rain than London and S SE England, where some longer dry fine spells without much heavy rain is seen every year.

The North Atlantic Sea often gets some much Colder Wintry conditions from November to March Months, and Mild SW and South winds tend to be more frequent over the East and SE of North Atlantic Sea, as the Azores High tends to stay in charge.ย 

With this warmth and heat, the Central and South UK has become mostly free of snow and frost.

Deep Cold Pooling with Low Pressure Vortex Arctic Cold PV NE and East Canada and the whole of Greenland next week.


11th to 13th November, UK Low moving to West Europe and remain strong- weaken a little over UK, but quite wet and windy on Monday to Tuesday and even Wednesday.


Eastern US and Western North Atlantic at that time period: High Pressure.


Not much cold air in the UK for this forecast period, but cool and wet with rain and scattered showers definately possible..


Post Update. At T144 Monday 11 Nov. if the Greenland Block remains strong to Tuesday and Wednesday 12-13 Nov. and get the NE Canada PV Low to get stuck there that will allow cold air to our North to increase, to the NW and N. Atlantic as well, with cold NE Winds that could persist there from November 10th to 13th.


The ICON and UKMO look as good, but the GFS does not like it so it gives Greenland Low Pressure and cold West SW winds from NE Canada instead!!.


I wonder how this evening's ECMWF model with pan out for said period??

More temptation deep in FI, jam tomorrow for sure. Wether itโ€™s a tasty jam roly poly or just a plain jam butty remains to be seen, but I hope itโ€™s not another winter in the offing thatโ€™s only played out in the deepest of model output timeframes. Iโ€™m not sure I could take another one of those.

Didn't we have a similar sort of set-up going into a winter a number of years ago? Blocking built to the north and east as we headed towards December and people were speculating about the cold air flooding westwards. I remember thinking to myself at the time that the end result was as predictable as Ronald Koeman's famous free kick against England in 1993. Sure enough the blocking gradually slipped away eastwards and the Atlantic took over. Therefore I am holding back and waiting to see what transpires.

Interesting to see that the t850hPa GEFS mean is around or below -4 to -5ยฐC here for the next five days and as low as -7ยฐC on Friday now. Nit expecting to see anything wintry but it will certainly feel quite chilly.

Are analogous models in the throes of evolution?

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.

From what I remember, November 2010 saw synoptics during the first two-thirds of the month that were not too dissimilar to the current output. I do recall that in my neck of the woods, it was a much less wet and less mild November overall than the corresponding month a year earlier.

Temperatures during the next seven days are forecast to max at around 7-8C in London.

We can get these values sometimes on a straight northerly.

I want to see the current pattern continue and hopefully we will start to see even colder air.

There are a lot of rainfall spikes still appearing, I wonder if areas to could under the right circumstances see the odd evaporative cooling event if things are a slack.

The jet stream continues to be strong and over England or just to the S before swinging N and dissipating over N Europe, for several days to come. Consequently any blocking is well east and north, though HP appears briefly over Scandi from time to time. UK has lots of LPs moving through, though both GFS and ECM have a more 'traditional' deep LP off Scotland around the 16th, and BBC last night suggested a deep LP settling in the N Sea in a few days' time with unpleasant easterlies.


Ensembles cold and damp, perhaps more than damp in the S, but with temps slowly recovering and back to near normal around the 16th and after

Oh God, don't say that as 13/14 was an absolutely horrendous winter in every sense of the word. But I recall that November actually having been relatively dry and settled after St Jude's storm in late October and before all Hell were let loose by third week of December.

On the other hand, November 2010 was very wet and changeable and we can all remember what followed next. 

But indeed, the latest runs showing the Atlantic getting to have the upper hand by second half of November doesn't come as a surprise to me, it also ties in with the Met Office and BBC long term guessimate predictions.
