WX temp summary as yesterday; no dramatic changes, but a bit of a see-saw with warmth working N over the Balkans balanced by something a bit cooler moving S from Iceland. Week 1 very dry from Belgium up to Norway with patches of rain NW, SW and SE of that area. Week 2 only dry in very far E, significant rain for France, Balkans, E Russia. Perhaps the temp see-saw less pronounced; and add England to the patches of rain in week 2.
Jet also much the same as yesterday
GFS; current HP splits into two centres, one over Norway, one in the Atlantic off Spain leaving UK in a col. By Friday 21st LP from N Atlantic moves into the slack pressure of the col to become 1000mb Ireland, deepening over the weekend of Sun 24th, and then drifting across England and up to Norway. By Thu 27th the col is reversed, the UK sitting between LP centres, one by the Azores and the other in the Baltic. On Monday 2nd these centres have linked up into a broad trough with axis across S England.
GEFS; rather boring? mean temp dropping back to norm in a couple of days and staying there for the next fortnight - ens members spread as time goes on but less than usual (op is one of the coldest towards end). Rain around on most days from Mon 18th but no great amounts except Scotland gets a one-off bonus burst at first.
ECM; similar to GFS though from Sun 24th the LP doesn't drift onwards but links up with more LP on the Atlantic and (12z at time of posting) deepens off SW Ireland Mon 25th
