FAX - High pressure collapsing with a few embedded fronts near the east coast, but persisting enough over Scotland to delay the arrival of fronts over England until Tue 10th, part of the circulation of LP 987mb W of Biscay. This makes little further progress but N-lies are gathering as HP develops west of Iceland.
GFS Op 00z - That HP moves SE to cover Britain so only the east coast gets the N-lies Thu 12th. Then deep LP steams in from mid-Atlantic 960mb S Ireland Tue 17th preceded by S-ly gales, centre of LP crossing S England. Brief ridge of HP to follow, then another LP moving from the SW towards Cornwall 990mb Tue 24th
ECM - agrees well with GFS until Wed 18th when the LP moves NE-wards past the Western Isles, light W-lies for England. EDIT now down loaded to t+360; this LP having moved past Faeroes, swings around past Greenland and receives cold reinforcements so by Mon 23rd there is, like GFS, an LP approaching from the Atlantic but deeper 965mb, colder and heading for N Ireland
AIFS - London, maxima 7-9C this week, rain Wed 11th, cooler with frosty nights for the weekend of 14th. Then fairly mild 10-12C, cooling again Sat 21st, rain Tue 17th and Sat 21st. Edinburgh, cooling to 5C Fri 13th, then up and down over quite a broad range maxima 7-10C to Sat 21st, Dry this week, rain Tue 17th & Sat 21st.
GEFS - In the south, milder Wed 11th, cooler Fri 13th, then mean temp near norm with only a small spread of ens members, rain any day from Wed 11th, most persistent around Tue 17th - Thu 19th, heavier in the SW and in Wales. In the north, the mildness around the 11th is suppressed, and no rain until 16th, again heaviest in west.
Still looking for shift in Polar Vortex to show up in the routine charts; meanwhile the south gets some more rain, just enough to tide it over.
