Jet - a rather disorganised loop dipping well south into France to Wed 4th; then briefly more direct across the UK before a tighter loop around the UK for the week of Mon 9th (with the UK on the 'wrong' side.

WX summaries continuing cool and (esp in NW) wet through the next two weeks

GFS - LP 1000mb NE England Thu 29th moving slowly E-wards leaving a legacy of light N-ly winds as HP sits off to the SW. That HP moves in Mon 2nd but is displaced by a new trough reaching W Scotland 995mb Fri 6th and an even deeper one 990mb N Ireland Tue 10th. Although the centre moves steadily E, again it leaves a trough hanging back with N/NE winds

GEFS - continuing cool (perhaps a little warmer at the end) with good agreement between runs and intermittent rain in the S through to Thu 12th. In the N, there is heavier rain later this week, then a dry few days, but significant rain resuming around Wed 4th

ECM  - similar to GFS; the HP Mon 2nd is however weaker and more and colder air is imported by the lp on Fri 6th

An unsettled theme for the UK across the NWP for the next 7-10 days it has to be said. 

That's exactly what I was thinking this morning. It all depends on your preferences of course but viewing the GFS this morning it looks ok to me - sunshine and showers, temps around 18 - 22C no great washout. I can put up with that. 

Indeed. GEFS at least looks OK.

Just enough rain to keep the garden ticking over

and temperatures in the "comfort zone"

though a tad breezy at times

The Azores high is gaining momentum yet again in the extended (beyond day 10) last few EC runs. I really don't want to see another repeat of what we had the last two weeks, but it is precisely because I don't want it to happen that most likely probably will. 

Where's the previous Model Output thread disappeared to???

I think Brian got fed up with the nonsense being posted!

Anyway, cutting through the trees of the latest output it looks like being mainly gently unsettled for much of the time in the south, albeit with cool uppers. That said, conditions on the ground are likely to be often useable whereas less so to the north and west nearer to any low pressure. 

After the ravages of last summer when the first Covid lockdown coincided with glorious weather during which I could have earned my living, but no cricket was allowed, this last 15 months has been an unmitigated disaster for me personally......My career is almost destroyed because of the last 15 months and I fail to see any reason to be cheerful, given that a wet August, at the height of my coaching season, looks to be heading down the pan.

People wonder why I am so depressed.....Well this is the reason. My livelihood is in tatters this summer due to rain and last summer due to Covid-19. You couldn't make it up.

The BBC have done a volte-face with their updates

This reflects the current situation although in truth it may be OK in the south

Too early to write the month off at this stage 

Looks like an Autumnal August. August is often an unsettled month. HST, Summer can sometimes return - especially in September (at least in the SE). Let's hope this materialise, as Septembers can produce some of the loveliest weather.

I've just looked through the whole GFS and I think you are mistaken. No heat retuning on the 0Z at all.

No real change in the summary pattern fro the next two weeks, if anything a downgrade with more extensive rain for all the UK in week 2

GFS - current LP moving off to Norway by Fri 30th leaving a trough over the UK with N-ly winds slowly going round to W-ly before the next LP arrives centred N Ireland 990mb Fri 6th, followed by another 1010mb Bristol Channel Tue 10th. Then at last a ridge of HP Fri 13th from the SW to N Norway with the caveat that the Atlantic up by Greenland is still showing cyclogenesis

GEFS - In the S, cool with intermittent rain through to Fri13th, suggestions of a slight warming towards end. In the N, wet at first, then a colder and drier interlude around Tue 2nd, thereafter temps closer to norm but with rather more rain than in the S.

ECM - very similar to GFS.

No sign of a settled spell for the first half of August though no doubt there will be useable days from time to time.

That sums up the scenario very well 

ECM op is a shocker.

GEFS ensemble set more sedate. Cool and rather unsettled but I suspect a few useable days in the south at any rate
