A cooler few days coming, into the early part of next week. Some night
frosts in the North and there will be some soft fruit growers and
gardeners looking anxiously at the weather forecasts for their areas
through the next 5 nights and especially as the clouds clear on Sun/
Mon/Tuesday. How far South will the frosts occur? The East looks most
prone, but high pressure looks like it will build again and clear
skies could even produce some frosts in the South in frost hollows. At
least it looks like it will dry out.

The hints of a warmer end to May are becoming much more like
probabilities now. Next weekend is presently looking warm again, with
Southerly winds and another North African plume. At that distance it
is so difficult to predict exactly what track the plume will take,
though and it could easily take a more Easterly route towards the
Baltic and miss us. Well worth wartching though, as it could produce
80F again and another bout of thunderstorms to follow. The Atlantic is
well and truly stalled and has been since April.

What is probable that things will begin to warm up again after the
cool nights of early next week and the days will be pleasantly sunny
and dry, after Saturday, in many areas, if you can get out of the
wind.

Rotten luck for the Devon County Fair, but I can almost see the plants
in my garden growing! The new green leaves on the lime trees are quite
beautiful. Late May/early June is my favourite time of the year!

Hmmm Paul, doesnt look THAT hopeful of better weather on the models from
Darren this morning
unless its the Southerlies turning gusty SE that alerts the embers here
He doesnt mention all the pleasant sun
but with low pressure not far off were can that be coming from?

So I guess the plume u speak of will miss us - damn

The middle of the week will see low pressure moving slowly closer to the
UK
from the west, with strengthening southerly winds and possibly some rain in
the west. ECM then brings rain across the UK for the weekend, while GFS
keeps the rain in the west with gusty SE'lies elsewhere.
