It's not so much the temperature as the amount of 'warm' rain that you
get. My time as a "Munro Bagger" brought home to me just how much snow
can disappear from a mountain side by a lot of rain in an active warm
sector in just 24 hours.

The latest ECMWF has a run of SW's from the 27 to the 1st of February
and by the end of that you may be scratching to find much snow on high
ground anywhere in the UK.


Hmmmm, 12Z ECM has the "blowtorch" SW'lies lasting no more than 24 hours!

I suppose if pressure builds over France it will draw into England fairly
cold continental air,so no major Atlantic warming ,or are you going for
Polar westerlies Will ?


We are not far off a dry spell in the south. Really unsure how much rain we
are likely to get.
Certainly 12Z ECM has thrown a spanner in the works. We *will* lose the
present very cold airmass though, no doubt about that. The polar westerlies
behind the deep Atlantic low will not be mild.
