18Z GFS is looking seriously wintry for last two days of January.
Retrogression
has been a consistent theme now in the models for past 24 hours allowing a
cyclonic very cold northerly (originating where sea anomalies are negative)
to
push down across UK behind a cold front next Weds into Thurs with 850 hPa
temperatures -5 to -8C. 12Z ECMWF is also quite marked about retrogression
and
cold plunge. As is UKMO as far as I can see. Confidence in this must be
increasing to circa 60% I'd say. That might knock a record mild January on
the
head for some people LOL.

Thanks for that but oh dear, Piers will be jumping with glee thinking
"I'm gonna get outta jail!" and some tabloids will believe him...


Not really it will still end up a mild January but perhaps not record breaking
and certainly nowhere near where Mr Corbyn predicted. Some places in the south
and Midlands this coming Saturday and Sunday could end up quite warm (15C+)
given some sunshine. Northern Scotland looks like staying very cold though with
arctic air remaining very close. Rapid changes have been a feauture of this
month so far.
