There's a lot of talk at present about summer arriving and the media are
expecting a sunny heatwave. I urge some caution. A waving cold front is
expected to come wriggling down from the NW early next week. A more
substantial wave is forecast as a possibility from a notoriously difficult
place for models, just NE of the Azores. All it takes is for that to develop
and we could have a lot of rain mid-week in some areas, especially
Midlands/northern England. And then when that relaxes away a cloudy NE'ly.
Take a look at 00Z GFS today 20th for the possibilities, wall to wall
sunshine it is not. Flooding and heavy rain are still on the cards in
places.
