That's the problem I have with this forecast - how do you verify
that "high pressure is dominating UK weather"? I would've said
yes for the past week - but looking at the 1200z prognosis for
Sunday that it is dominating over Europe but not the UK, as low
pressure is moving in. Still - better not attempt verification
until it actually occurs ;-)

Yes indeed

It is of course highly subjective as to what 'high pressure dominating' actually means and I think come Sunday it will be borderline as to whether the UK as a whole could be described as coming under such conditions.

As you say, best wait for outcome before dissecting a forecast!
