I'm finding myself looking at GFS +240, but still there's no hope or
salvation in the offering.

I'm tending to agree with you Keith. *I've posted before that persistence
is particularly strong at this time of year and my experience is that the
first two weeks of July, more often than not, set the scene for the rest of
July/August.

Here's the Jet Stream for +120, but that seems to show more on it way
from the US.

What do we need for the polar vortex to contract, so that the Jet
Stream moves north and gives us Mediterranean weather?
