When Will created this thread on 4th April the Jet was very far south heading in to the straights of Gibraltar, it has since buckled with a brief ridge over the UK (14 April, 10 days later) giving unsettled weather for most of the UK & some warmer sunny spells in the SE of England (if they are lucky).



Over the next few days the Jet flattens again, but pointing more or less straight at the UK, again this will give unsettled weather for most of the UK, though the SE way fair a little better.



Expectations by some were for fine, warm & settled Spring weather, by way of the Jet being to the North of the UK for a prolonged period (longer than just a weekend) THAT HASN'T HAPPENED NOR IS IT FORECAST TO IN THE NEXT 5 DAYS.



I hope that helps explain it Dawlish.

And who was expecting "fine, warm & settled Spring weather"? Name sonmeone.

There's a bit of a strawman, don't you think? Will deliberately constructed it and you've fallen for it. I know all about what has happened to the jet and I know all about what Will was talking about - i.e it staying well south of the UK. What has happened to it was exactly what the models were predicting; hence my forecast. It was also what Will was not **wanting** and there's the nub. It is certainly not "way too far south" - which is the implied prediction from our dear Haytor resident and the meaning there was; "way too far south of the UK". BTW; no-one, AFAIK has mentioned that the Jet was going to be to the North of the UK for a prolonged period. You've made that up, haven't you and shouted a bit to try to be heard better. Well done.

Not my fault that Will never returns to these hopecasts (and this one certainly was - a hope for continued cold which hasn't been realised) and leaves it to other sycophants to interpret them in hindsight, dear boy. Don't be taken in, would be my advice.

Hope that helps to explain it, in terms that don't involve shouting, oh anonymous one.
