Nothing in today's models to make me have doubts about this forecast..
Both the gfs and the ECM show northerlies out to T240 from this
weekend. Still a long way to go though.


I think it's fair to say that some people *aren't *free thinkers in fact
they are a little bit scared to come up with their own opinions and if they
do but they think it may not fit into the status quo; so they then cower and
shut up


As the jet heads south again, the winds will turn northerly at the
weekend and it looks like we've got a week of them at least. Some
changes may be afoot at T240 though as the 00z ECM shows the Atlantic
high drifting further north to sit over iceland, though that's not
reflected in the gfs 00z operational. *Shouldn't be too bad for many,
all week, clear air, good cloudscapes, perhaps some morning dust on
the car, but the temperatures will be disappointing after this
magnificent spring weather of the last 3 weeks.


I think it's only really been this week though that the temperatures
have been significantly above average: the main thing of the last two
weeks was the almost continuous sunshine (which was very nice) rather
than the temperature, with many days only at about average. This week
has been warmer but a lot cloudier, with only Tuesday being notably
sunny (though on the other hand only Thursday was notably cloudy).

What do people make of this tendency for a low to form over Germany
around Thursday next week? Is this close enough to produce something
other than the predicted "classic northerly" weather?
