That is why I am still going for long extended dry spells this summer. OK
that is more for England and Wales than Scotland and NI but I still fancy
it will hold good as the ascending moist air continues to get forced
northwards. No proper rain down here as you know for weeks now and I
cannot see much in the future either (apart from one or two storms or the
odd cold front if we are lucky).

I've noticed that for quite a while this spring/summer that the models
have over-stated any rainfall and have been pessimistic in their forecast,
predicting low pressure systems further south and east than they actually
end up coming.


He he I know and they have been fooling a lot of people who rely on just
using models to forecast!

Having said that I'm going for a bit of rain midweek down here, more up
north, and windy at times too, but then after that I'm expecting the Azores
high to ridge north in the Atlantic due to a change in the long wave
pattern. The high should then topple and bring the UK a long fine and
settled spell but without record breaking heat in the UK, something I have
said all along this summer.

Cheers,

Will
