Well, if you want/need rain in the east and south the word is dire.

High pressure looks like dominating for quite a while, as indeed it has all
winter really. The Azores high has never been far off the scene, even when
Mr Russia exerted his influence, Mr Azores was still there complicating
things in the west, preventing a full blow easterly with high pressure
extending to Iceland. Charts show a blocked pattern once again but with the
location of high pressure uncertain. Increasing signal that, as Atlantic
trough disruptions take place next week pressure will build either over us
or to our east. Any easterly is unlikely to be really cold though, probably
almost spring-like but with night frosts. But as I have said if you need
appreciable rain in the forseeable future, forget it, that will be reserved
for the north and west.
Rain dance anyone? I can do snow dances but not rain :-)

I'm beginning to worry about this drought situation as we run into
spring from my 'Lawn' business point of view. Last spring became
difficult and scarifications and over seeding had to be abandoned in
April as it left a lawn to dry and dusty without any chance of seed
germinating, even if watered.

I was just wondering what the thoughts were on the weather, especially
in the SE, for the spring and summer. I am struggling to come up with
any thoughts/predictions but want to plan for the worst, if necessary,
although my original feeling was for a 'normal' spring and not a
repeat of last spring?

Any thoughts?

No-one knows Keith. You are a hostage to weather's fortune I'm afraid.
Nothing you hear in a "forecast" for spring, or for the summer, is
believable. Sorry!
