Spring coming?
Well, there you go.The possible warmth has continued for 5 runs, I can
now be 75-80% certain of this:
By 18th April at T240, the effects of the first warm plume of the year
will be being felt in Southern England. Temperatures on the 17th and
18th of April will peak above 18C and may well be higher. Winds around
this time will be from a Southerly quadrant and the air will have had
its source in North Africa. This air could well be unstable enough to
bring the possibility of heavy, perhaps thundery showers. If the
showers stay away, Southern England, at least, will have some
pleasant, warm conditions for April.
It can never be a higher confidence forecast than 75-80%, as my
success from the past is about 78%. It's not a certain forecast, as
certainty doesn't come in to forecasting. See how it goes.
