Jetstream running westerly and quite strong across the UK this week, forming a loop enclosing the UK Sat 29th from the 'wrong' side, before resuming and throwing more loops Thu 3rd and Sun 6th, the last quite persistent though weakening by Tue 8th.
GFS - Deep LP over UK tomorrow Tue 25th but moving off quickly; another LP Fri 28th, shallower but slower to move away dragging N-lies behind it; brief ridge of HP before another local LP Wed 2nd. Then the Atlantic really takes charge with developments near Iceland bringing in cold and persistent NW-ly becoming N-ly through to Wed 9th.
GEFS - temps cool to 1st Sept after which mean of runs is close to norm but that conceals a lot of variation - op and control warm for 2 or 3 days after which amongst the coldest members. Rain in S most likely tomorrow and Sat 29th, small amounts at other times. Temp profile similar for the N though less variation from the mean for Scotland, rain in N England and Scotland a day later on the 26th but missing out on the spell on the 29th, resuming on Tue 1st.
ECM - Similar to GFS at first but in process of changing its mind re Wed 2nd - deep LP Wed 2nd over Shetland on yesterday's 12z, quite shallow and further S on today's 0z wih a controlling depression sitting off in the Atlantic with warmer S-lies than GFS
