Going by ECMWF& GFE, there just doesn't seem to be an end to this

This pattern is becoming more consistent as each run passes.

It's been like this all day on windward coasts in the far SW.http://www.landsendweather.info/

OK, the temperatures a tad below normal, 18-19C in most spots - 20C
on sheltered parts of the south coast, but in the sunshine it's been
'andsome.

Damned cold when the wind got up and the sun went in though! Was on
the coast near Chichester today and while it was pleasantly warm until
about 5pm, it was quite nasty after that unless you were dressed for
autumn.

The models do seem to agree on a high-pressure interlude in a week's
time though, and it looks like it will be nice in the southwest for
the foreseeable future.


There was a distinct smell of Autumn in the air when I walked home from
the train this evening. This may be related to the dewpoint being below
7C - the lowest we have had at this time of day (about 1730 BST) for
some time. The lack of scent from the Summer flowers (many now over or
past their best) which is accentuated by high humidity would be the other.
