Default I've got a bad feeling about that high

It looks like it'll have lots of cloud mixed up in it - so I guess we can
look forward to a week or so of 8c/6c temperature ranges and gloom.

Lovely


Yep!



Don't you not think that with a high of 1040 hPa and high contour values that
will lead to strong subsidence which will tend to lower the subsidence inversion
so that low cloud will disperse? Also do you not think that as the high
retrogresses (moves west) then a cooler (and clearer) northwesterly flow perhaps
later veering northerly could become established ? Initially it may have a lot
of cloud but there's plenty of reasons why it won't persist? Also it is not
clear that the air in the south will have much Atlantic origin could be quite a
lot of drier continental air mixed in in a light SE or even E drift?
