The trend over the last 4/5 GFS runs, though, has been decent. Same can't be said of the ECM, which sets up blocking to the NW, blocking to the SE, and the UK being slap in the middle of Atlantic low highway. |

Heard on the radio this morning that apparently the forecasters have guaranteed that all 4 days of next weekend are going to be absolutely perfect! Not sure which models they have based that on, though having said that it does look like there has been an improvement to the outlook today. |

A bold prediction indeed given the vagaries of the UK climate. |

GEFS today seems to be gravitating towards the high pulling towards the northwest hence a massive cluster of mediocre 850s. But a stubborn cluster of 5 members give something quite a bit warmer suggesting HP close by?

All the models have now reverted to northern blocking to varying extents and looking pretty cool and relatively unsettled for the Jubilee weekend as it stands. Still a fair way off, but the trend is going backwards at the moment. |

BBC WFTWA last night presented a stark difference for a week's time between GFS (northern blocking, dry, NE-ly winds affecting N Sea coasts) and ECM (large depression to the SW, S-ly winds, a lot of rain often heavy). Both models seem to have stepped back from their more extreme positions this morning but there is still a difference. WX summary (based on GFS) much as it was yesterday: the clear picture of week 1 with a line mid-France - Alps - Ukraine dividing cool to the N and war/hot to the S gets mixed up in week 2. The warmth advances on two fronts, one to Ireland and England (but not Scotland) and the other much warmer all the way up to Finland [not quite as far in today's chart]. In between, Germany remains cold. Rain mainly over the continent; week 1 Balkans - Poland - White Sea and week 2 Germany - Baltic - W Russia with some in N Spain and Alps. Britain looking quite dry, except a bit in the NW at first.[this morning a bit further E week 1 and further SE Week2; Britain not quite as dry and the rain never really leaves NW Scotland] GFS Op: current LP N of Britain with W/NW winds moves to Baltic with HP 1030mb N Ireland Sat 28th. The HP drifts N-wards to leave Britain in a col between LPs Denmark and Portugal (the former is closer, so expect NE-lies); then a new HP area arising in the W and moving to cover all Britain Sun 5th. It lasts for a few days, enough for the Jubilee weekend, before withdrawing to the SW and an area of LP near Iceland brings in NW-lies. GEFS: although mild/warm in S at firstt, mean temps generally drop to cool Mon 30th, back to norm Fri 3rd and staying there, with the usual outliers (control is a cold one). Not much rain at first, a little more probable later on esp in NW ECM: similar to GFS until Mon 30th; but then instead of a col, the two LPs over Denmark and Portugal join forces to give general low pressure; and the LP to the SW becomes dominant 1005mb Cornwall Thu 2nd with S/SE winds (not as large and deep as shown by BBC). It moves N to Scotland Sat 4th with broad trough all the way down to the Med, HP staying in mid-Atlantic |

Still a fair way off, but the trend is going backwards at the moment. My view of the charts is more optimistic than this. Northern blocking in both the big models at first, sure, but for the Jubilee weekend GFS suggests sunny, dry, hot in the sun and cool out of it; ECM fairly warm in the S, cooler in N, but watch out for showers. |

West appears to be best over this weekend and into early next week with some warm sunshine. Eastern areas looking cool with the onshore breeze - highs of 12C now forecast for Norwich on Sunday! ECM goes downhill in a big way just in time for the Jubilee celebrations offering typically wet royal weather. GFS looks considerably better - not especially warm but I'm sure it will feel pleasant enough in any sunshine. After that, GEFS is distinctly average at best with high pressure trending north-west allowing coolish and unsettled weather to dominate. |

Generally after today's rain it looks pretty decent for the next week to 10 days to me - never especially warm but with a good amount of sunshine around.
Actually the lack of warmth is starting to be noticeable. It looks like 20-21C is about the best we can hope for in the foreseeable future. If my memory is correct, in most years recently by the beginning of June we have had a few 25C+ days. AFAIK we have only reached 25C once so far this year (17 May hit 27.5C) and I can't see that being beaten for a good while. |

I know for some people 'baking heat' is 21C (like for my sister in Exeter). It's a struggle to get more than 21C though this year. Even in the local rag the headline Hot Hot Hot is no more than the high teens this year as I've hammered in from time to time on TWO. It's only 6C warmer here than Reykjavik and it's almost June. The modelled warmth seems to get shunted into the future each day.

The modelled warmth seems to get shunted into the future each day. No real heat yet, but here at least consistently warm 20c most days which is unusual for May. The CET will likely be in the top 10 warmest ever. |

The temp through May has been remarkably stable, with daily maxes sticking within a narrow band, and no cool nights. It's reflected in the CET, which is 1.7c above the 30-year average despite having no real warmth to speak of. |

The next few days on Look East last night showed a maximum of just 12C for Sunday.   |

The modelled warmth seems to get shunted into the future each day. That what I been going about here becoming Icelandic climate set-up that normally does in Iceland in summer when we get HP often from the south now opposite Iceland get good UK summer types and like Rob K say about lack of noticeable warmth, it tiring to try to keep my house warm to avoid heating which last turn on 5th May so it stay around 20-21c indoors. Any models still continue to be useless and if they keep taking the heat away from us that mean they are to blame for it, today temps are just 1 C off from 16C on 1st Jan on the shortest daylight time. We now got 3 weeks left before drawing out again so will be big waste if no heatwave from now to early August.

A slightly better ECM this morning, albeit still a cool unsettled spell next week first. Hopefully the first signs of a settling down again. GFS remains pretty crap though. |

GFS remains pretty crap though. Yep some straws this morning from the ECM. GFS ensembles also a little better. The continent looks like its getting hot next week so if we can get a southerly will be very warm. |
