Something we haven't seen forecast for quite a while!

Yes, going by the GFS and ECMWF 12Z operational runs, it doesn't look as
if zonality will have returned by then. In their detail, they are
somewhat different, though, GFS having the High centred over southern
England and ECMWF keeping it just to our west and showing signs of
ridging towards southern Scandinavia. The GFS ensemble strongly suggests
that there could be very little in the way of rainfull in at least
southern areas over the next two weeks:
