Seems like there's relatively good agreement on a flattening out of the jet stream over then next week or so. The omega pattern looks like being pinched with the Atlantic pushing back in, so wetter for most away from the far SE. The prior trend of keeping LP systems to our NW seems to have been reigned in along with this move to a flat jet profile, with warmer more settled periods for the majority of the UK being mostly transient for now.
Agreed, generally, though I'm a little more optimistic about the weather remaining fairly quiet. Though LP systems are forecast to be steered closer, especially to the NW and around the 27th, there doesn't seem to be a dramatic decline in this morning's charts from the weather we've been having.
Any general declaration of a heatwave needs to look further afield than London GEFS - as I've noted before, warm, but not spectacularly so.
