And Spring starts on 21st March (the equinox). So what are the intervening

The last few days' runs from the gfs are suggesting some warmer
weather next week, albeit becoming more unsettled too. Keith's
suggestion that weak zonality, combined with high pressure to our
east, giving southerlies is exactly what the gfs is showing this
morning, though the ECM has more mobile conditions at T+240. The gfs
ens don't paint quite the same the same warmer picture past the 20th,
as a result of that jet still staying to our south.

Hopefully some better conditions in the east, for a while, from today.
