In summary, in many ways the charts show a similar setup to last winter,
with uncertainties about how far northwards the Azores High will ridge. If
it ridges as far north as the JMA and GFS runs suggest, some quite cool
weather is likely, especially by night. The runs all show troughs or lows
near the UK as well, suggesting the weather will become increasingly
unsettled for all after the short hot spell. As ever, more runs are needed.

I just bought a new hosepipe, but whether that means it'll become so dry
that using them will be banned, or so wet that they won't be needed, is
anybody's guess.
