I did have a good look Q can’t find anything.

 

Truly remarkable. Again if anyone can find an example of the -5C 850hpa isotherm hitting the UK in July that would be appreciated. As far as I can tell this is the first time it has ever happened.

 

Just right 👍

Thanks for all your hard work Brian and for making it happen it is very much appreciated 👍👍👍

 

I've updated the TWO GFS temperature anomaly charts this afternoon. The 5 and 10 day ones should now represent the data more accurately.

5 day link is:

10 day link is:

Some very useful summer weather ahead, not overly hot and good for sleeping at night.

Goldilocks weather (in the south at least) if the MO is near the mark. Perfick as Pop Larkin would have said.

  That’s the second time I’ve heard Goldilocks weather!  Brian mentioned it on the moaning thread too!  What is it and why!

From the porridge in the story Goldilocks and the 3 Bears - Not too hot, not too cold, just right!

Hi Col.

You may come across the phrase in astronomy/astrobiology applied to "habitable zone" or "the circumstellar habitable zone" of planets and in the search for exoplanets. Earth lies in our own "Goldilocks zone".

As qualifying exoplanets may well have atmospheres and climate, you can expect to encounter the term with increasing frequency.

Does that mean it's going to be raining porridge from the skies? Yum yum.

As long as it doesn't start raining bears. Cats & dogs I can just about cope with but bears...?

As this thread is in danger of going seriously off-topic, I will post my customary link to the GEFS

with the comment that the much-hoped-for rainfall down here (well, by me, if nobody else) has been postponed to beyond the 11th, and not much of it then.

  Thanks Col!  I was wondering where the porridge and the bears came in too!  Was thinking porridge fog like a pea souper, hot enough to bear (bare) it all etc.  But Goldilocks weather will suit me fine!  

Sorry for taking this OT Brian but it was you who started it.  

More Model Output please (with translations)!

Everyone has their own Goldilocks weather. The end of this week probably gets close to mine - around 26-27C by day and 15-16C by night. During holidays, a couple of degrees warmer would be perfect.

Today's sky is also rather nice. I like days where cumulus bubbles up but never gets beyond 4 octas, and then melts away from mid afternoon onwards.

With all this talk about fairy stories and weather I was expecting the outlook to be Grimm.

Looks pretty decent for most over the next 7 days or so except for northern scotland so i cant see where the met office get their stronger winds in the south from ??

Prospect of warmer weather in week 2

http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/temp4

not to say very warm in the south. Note that big pile of really hot stuff over Spain - maybe we'll get another heat low drifting up towards us later on. Main chart (GFS0z) not so optimistic, while still pleasant for the most part

Continues to look quite settled to me. Massive change from much of June.

This morning’s GEFS looks equally if not more settled, yet the actual runs from GFS, GEM, ECM etc (all but UKMO which is looking anticyclonic) are quite messy. Slack pressure, depressions eating into the margins of the continent. Not much sign of high pressure actually taking up residence over us for the time being. Goes to show you don’t need a perfect set up to get decent dryweather.

That said I’m doing my annual work barbecue next Friday and, as always, it is looking like one of the most unsettled days of the coming fortnight. Even last year there was rain around for the same event. I am stuck if it rains because I don’t have enough space inside for everyone.
