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.

Yes, nothing's certain in this world, which it's why it's best to take this as they come & avoid disappointment!

Down here we've already benefitted by the depressions being rather forward north. As a result

20th Looks hopeful! http://www.scillyman.co.uk/Lowertown_Cam.html currently cloudless on Scilly and heading this way.
No more surfing though http://www.sennen-cove.com/harbourcam.htm

After all the rain a week of rather more 'normal' mixture of weather.
