Here is my prediction for the rest of this year.
January - The mild weather which we finished the 2010s with will continue throughout this month with more long-fetched SW winds from the Tropical Atlantic Ocean. I don't think that we will get our mildest January on record, but this month will be very mild nevertheless. With the model output now looking slightly more unsettled than what it did a few days ago, I am anticipating that this month will provide us with average to slightly above average rainfall, with most of the rainfall being to our west and not all that much of it getting through to the east of Scotland.
February - A continuation of the same old mild and zonal theme, although we probably won't see those exceptionally high temperatures which were recorded during February 2019 on this occasion. Nevertheless, it will be another milder month which is more substantially wetter than average month in this part of the world, although this is due to the fact that February is our driest winter month on average according to the 1981-2010 averages.
March - The unsettled weather continues in Scotland, but becomes more confined to NW Scotland over time as high pressure to our south becomes more influential. For here, it will be our first drier than average month for some time, though still with a lot of cloud around as the driest and sunniest weather will still be down south at this stage. Overall though, it will be a mild or even a warm month right across the UK with SE England already starting to get well into the 20s.
April - An anticyclonic month which is warm and sunny right across the board, although there might still be a few frosty mornings. It will be much drier than average overall, much warmer than average and also much sunnier than average.
May - By now, the switch to an easterly QBO is starting to take effect, along with a very late SSW event. This will cause the high pressure which is sitting right over the UK in April, to drift to our north and start to feed in easterly winds. This will frustrate a of people on the MO thread who will now being seeing a lot of "if only it were winter" synoptics which they could have done with seeing right now. From that, the weather will be hot and sunny here in Scotland away from the east coast which will continued to plagued by cooler temperatures along with low and east coast haar being bought in by those easterly winds from off the North Sea.
June - The blocking high to our north remains in place for the first half of the month, oscillating in its position between Scandinavia, Iceland and Greenland. That will continue to feed in easterly winds which bring hot and sunny weather to our west, but with the east coast continued to be plagued my much cooler temperatures, low cloud and that east coast haar. Over time though, low pressure will slowly edge in with the weather becoming more unsettled as a result. That could bring a thundery breakdown to begin with before it then becomes generally more unsettled and cooler during the second half of the month.
July - A rather unsettled month although the odd Spanish Plume can't be ruled out. Low pressure becomes centred over or just to the north of the UK. If the low pressure is centred right over the UK, it will be very wet right across the UK, otherwise the wettest weather will be here in Scotland with SE England escaping reasonably OK. For here in Scotland in particular, it will probably be rather a cool month.
August - A typically zonal month with the wettest weather being here across Scotland, but with England and Wales being that bit drier. Temperatures will be close to average here in Scotland although England and Wales will be a bit warmer.
September - A more gently unsettled month here in Scotland with the Azores High ridging more into England and Wales to give some drier weather down there. For here in Scotland, rainfall will be around average with slightly above average temperatures.
October - High pressure builds more strongly to our east to possibly give us a bit of an Indian Summer with warm winds wafting up from the south at times. It will be a dry month which will be both warmer and sunnier than average.
November - High pressure remains close by and continues to give us another drier than average, but an increasingly strong jet is already putting that ridge under a lot of pressure and pushing it further south. That results in the UK being on the mild side of that block, so that ends up being a dry and rather mild month with the wettest places being in NW Scotland.
December - Back to square one with a return to more zonal and unsettled conditions with a lot of mild weather. However, the effects of the easterly QBO will be to result in more of a NW-SE aligned jet which gives us a greater chance of any showers in between those weather systems turning to sleet or snow, especially over high ground though not exclusively so.
