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?

Certainly far from being zonal with lots of blocking upto Christmas. GFS
seems to indicated a further northerly plunge nearer Christmas. What
worries me is I don't realy see a Scandi High again this winter as yet :-(


I was just flicking through the November / December 1962 charts and the
patterns are not a million miles dissimilar to what we've had and what's
projected upto Christmas. High pressure blocking to the west with
northerly plunges plus blocking to our east / southeast. So who knows?
