Both ecm and gfs have consistently pointed to easterlies or northeasterlies in the medium range basically being driven by a strong Greenland High. ALso, do we have another Strat warm event in the making?

Quite a change the past few months from what we have got accustomed to over the years which leads me to think what sort of spring and summer maybe ahead, dare I say a record breaking hot summer, we must be due for one and I've had every sort of difficult weather to contend with for lawn work ~ hey ho.
