Posted in the Spring discussion thread, and deserving of a mention here too.
My interpretation is thus:
May has northern blocking to our NW big time, and so is potentially a rather poor month for the UK, though it could end up being close to average. It would be at times wet and not all that warm either, but otherwise, with pressure anomalies are only shown to be neutral, so some nicer weather should be found.
June sees that northern blocking weakening, but hanging on, leading to another month whereby imported warmth is hard to come by. Some poor spells of weather to be dealt with, but also some reasonable length finer spells with some home grown warmth being experienced.
Come July, the northern blocking has gone, and the signals are weak, but then the synoptics do tend to be less amplified by this point in the summer. The slight postive anomaly over the UK gives hope for some reasonably lengthy spells of fine weather, however with a slight anomaly near Iceland, the suggestion is that high pressure will tend to be just west or northwest of the UK, meaning that continental imports contine to prove illusive, although there's certainly a good chance of seeing one or two.
August is looking like a classic displacement of an active jet stream north, potentially giving us a very warm month with plenty of tropical maritime airflows and some plumes of hot air from the continent also more likely to find the UK.
I'm pleased to see these charts illustrating a scenario that is quite similar to my fun forecast, if not quite as exciting
Its actually a rather good long range outlook, compared to the horrors of some years past!
