longer term return to cold(ish) still on?

No sign of it on the 06Z GFS operational run, which is going for a
single, and exceptionally intense, polar vortex in the region of
Greenland. In the SE of the UK, in particular, it looks like there
should be a lot of dry, and perhaps at times quite spring-like, weather.

Though that's my point :-) I wasn't saying it was going to be wet,
it's the end of the cold that I was commenting on. Dry mildness is
almost as bad as wet mildness at this time of year, both are equally
bereft of aesthetic appeal....
