Some heat looks baked in next week. What's less certain is the timing of the breakdown.

GFS 12z just starting to leak out now. ICON out to Sunday so far.

I find it funny how my seasonal posting activity and hibernation on this site are almost directly opposite to most. I rarely bother posting outside UIA in winter unless something very spectacular is afoot, and then come and live over here in summer. Hot is just so much more fun than cold.

At one point it made it to Tuesday only; at least the trend in the models is slipping the right way so far; hope we're getting close enough for it to count.

Less of a potent blast on the 12Z as a deeper low spins up off Ireland and pushes things east, but still 33C in London on Wednesday.

Agreement from the GFS and UKMO on Wednesday being the transition day to Atlantic dominated weather.


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.

Both UKMO and GFS picking up on developing HP at Northern latitides at day 6, meaning potentially very wet weather for Western and Central areas from Thursday onwards.

A more progressive run for sure so far, but there is nothing that I can see which suggests unusually high rainfall for anywhere.

Still hot for next week. 33-35C still being progged.

It’s been a bit swings and roundabouts today. Length of this spell is still up on the air.

Given how different UKMO and GFS are at 144hrs I'm expecting yet more very early, very wide spread in outcomes in tonight's ENS. Wonder what ECM will bring. 3 kinds of scenario now on the cards up to next weekend:

1. High pressure hangs on and expands, giving us record breaking heat as per 06z
2. High pressure breaks down from W/SW with a slack, thundery breakdown and northern blocking as per UKMO and the last few GEMs
3. High pressure eased away from NW with a cool but settled airmass ridging across the country, as per GFS 12z and this morning's ECM

Sorry but I think you've misinterpreted the GFS Op there; the control & other members aren't on TWO yet. It's quite obvious from the chart below all of England & Wales still very much in the boiler Thursday am, (20C uppers across all the SE at 00z) so maybe Thursday is a transitional day (not convinced though, considering the 12 hourly swings of the last two days). I've said all along that Wednesday had far too much consistency as one of the hotties.

Seeing as the 12Z GFS has 850mb temps 10C lower than the 06Z just one week out, I don't think anyone can talk about "agreement from the models" for anything yet, other than Tuesday and Wednesday being hot. It all hinges on the behaviour of that LP which hasn't even formed yet. The trend seems to be more progressive today, but then it was a couple of days ago and swung back.

And GFS Op showing a potential recharge a few days later. Whilst it's unwise to put weighting on a chart 10 days out, its also naive to latch on to the first few hours of an output and make big, bold prognoses.

Certainly not much sign of a return to unsettled weather on the 12Z op run. High pressure quickly builds back in.

GEFS show a shift towards an earlier end to the heat, but still a significant cluster staying hot:

Turning into a bit of a waterfall of runs on the ens. The breakdown and drop happens with similar steepness but at various different times. 06z was more gentle.

Could still change. ICON and GEM are both fairly poor, let’s see about ECM.

The model runs seemed to take a turn for the worse at exactly the same time the Met started tweeting about a heatwave next week. Such are the vagaries of medium range forecasting and the limitations of current modelling technology.   ECM running now.

Although ECM shunts the plume further east, it maintains the thundery potential with little running heat lows and troughs in the southerly flow.

Just another good day with the models, if you like summer weather. To be absolutely honest, posts from Ian Brown are just downright misleading. I have no idea why he does it. 30-35c widely Mon-Thu. 22-26c Fri-Mon is what the models show, in the SE quadrant at least.
