WX maps not loading this morning so here's a repeat of yesterday's comment - in addition I had a look last night and not much had then changed though if anything the prospects for high temps for Britain had increased in week 2 : the current high temps over all of Scandinavia and associated cool areas on either side subsiding. In week 2, warmth pushing up from Spain (hot there) to France and Britain while the Scandinavian heat disperses and diminishes over the Baltic and E Russia. Rain well distributed across Europe in week 1, but confined to an area N of Shetland - S Sweden - Belarus in week 2
Jet; weak loop around the UK until about Mon 4th after which something stronger but intermittent across N Britain
FAX; LP ca 1000mb off W Scotland pushing a mess of fronts across Britain on Wed, then a new LP in much the same position on Fri does a repeat but less active
GFS Op; trough over Britain to Fri receding N-wards as Azores HP pushes in from the SW, at its strongest Tue 5th 1035mb off SW Ireland, declining somewhat as LP 985mb moves past Faeroes Sun 10th but pressure still quite high over S England
GEFS; mean temp cool at first, improving to seasonal norm by the weekend (more quickly in S) and staying there though op & control hold out hopes for something warmer around Thu 7th. A little rain in the next few days, though more in NW as usual, followed by a dry week and then a few ens members showing rain from Sun 10th.
ECM; like GFS with Azores HP if anything closer to Ireland
