I'm not liking the look of the GFS output for the past few days, showing the
southerly-tracking jet waking up by about this time next week.
Has a disturbing stench of 2007 about it :-(

I agree, Jim. I hope it doesn't verify too, but it backs up what I
said this morning about the possible "return of the Atlantic" and the
establishment of zonal conditions. The 06z brings some very warm air
very close to the UK, next weekend, though it still suggests zonal at
T240.

After the end of May/start of June, however, when the jet was tracking
much forther South than it is now, allowing that long period of
Easterlies and with heavy rain for Southern England, as lows pushed up
from the South and slowly crept Westwards, your thread title should
perhaps be.....Northward-tracking jet to awaken"! *))

Glad you found it Keith!

For those wondering - www.netweather.tv

And yes, fair point Paul... Or was it the subtropical jet tracking well
north?!

Yeah good graphic there of its central position over UK. If it starts to
stay there for the next 3 months summers definitely fcuk'd
and I can claim a forecast victory! not that i want it to be this way. Still
at least the Haytor Hound of the Moor will be gagged -lol

No, if it stays there for 3 months, summer would not be great. If it
starts to stay there - what does that actually mean? If it stays there
for 3 months, you'd have had no more than a lucky guess. Remember you
haven't made a forecast, Dave, you've guessed what the summer might be
like using seaweed. Even if you had made a forecast, it would be
little better than guessing using seaweed anyway, so like Will's said,
get over it. Personally I hope your little, personal, raincloud stays
with you the whole summer and everyone else gets exactly the weather
they'd like. Then we wouldn't have to put up with your daily whinge!!

LOL, zonal to the edge of reality T+240.
That must mean summer is on its way.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think of plenty of fantastic summers
which started a bit on the dodgy side.

The summer of 1990 springs to mind as a very good example where the jet
stream was far south and low pressure after low pressure dominated the
weather until the first week of July then it was like a switch and suddenly
out came the sun and the warmth. The rest of the summer was a scorcher.

I believe the summer of 1976 didn't really get going until mid-June?

And the best summer I have ever known (was a bit young to remember 1976
properly) was quite unsettled until the 3rd week of June, that was 1995,
which I regard as the last really settled summer we've had.

That was when the extreme heat began, but - at least in the south - the
preceding winter and spring had been dry.
