Yesterday i was so downtrodden when I saw Darrens model report and looking
at the Unisys GFS 9 day plate showing domination of low pressure but today I
go to the same run at Unisys and see behold! a week of increasingly warm
temperatures with a scandy High now firmly in charge. What the f**k is going
on? This is running right through till May 29th Thursday week! *I know these
runs can change daily or even hourly but the whole damn thing is so
confusing. Are we in for a good week next week or not? I suppose one would
not even hazard a guess I thought there were some good people willing to
stick teir neck out here but it seems Will of Tor has disappeared

You did sound downtrodden, Dave, but I didn't really think there was
any need to be. The models have been suggesting a slow warm up since
before last weekend's cold spell and a couple of runs of low-pressure
domination didn't change that, for me. It's not entirely perfect
sunbathing weather, but if that Azores high does make a move for the
UK, later next week could be very nice, after a short, but probably
abortive, attempt by lower pressure to push Westwards.

Have you had any of that pleasant sunshine in dry old London town,
Dave? The sunshine in Devon has been terrific again, but it is still
cool in the wind.
