I spend a couple of days in London (where the weather was actually gorgeous and Waterloo sunset on Friday was simply magnificent) to see something we haven't seen on a weather chart for months.........the Azores High pushing NE towards us. Cool, as we'd be on that NE limb, but some lovely sunny days, if it achieves outcome.

I would *love* this to be still on the charts tomorrow evening and it not be just a short-lived calm period after the colder plunge which is likely to follow the coming week's wet and windy weather. Could this possibly herald the end of the zonal train?? MetO says "No!" in the 6-15 day forecast. See how the models develop; the Meto has done very well in its 10-day thoughts, throughout the winter; perhaps this time they may not be as accurate.
