Happened to watch the Countryfile forecastjust now and the presenter
said that the depression on Friday 'might be the last as there is not
much developing after that'.
So is that another way of saying we might get a build of pressure
somewhere near the UK?

That didn't go unoticed with me either, and is the merest
of tiny hints. However all that will probably happen is that
instead of the conveyor belt of depressions and W/SW winds
we get a few days of cooler but still pretty unintesting from
a sever winter wqeather point of view, showery and blustery
NW winds.

A pressure build up in a depression is a characteristic of a negative
NAO. Such a thing is a wash out is it not?

Whereas a standing wave or whatever the innyerwindow might be, is a
singularity IIRC.

And we all know what happens with them, don't we children?

I can't see it myself, but that thinking falls in line with Alan Reppert
of Accu Weather.

Without accreditation :-), I might not be qualified to say this, but
isn't the Barlett high a more likely scenario with depressions crossing
to the north of us, and with a ridge over the UK we will still get
westerlies but with less of the rain, in the south anyway?

Just a thought

Maybe that's not so bad though; at least cooler, showery and blustery
NW winds have more aesthetic appeal at this time of year than the mild,
overcast damp stuff (IMO). We got an all-too-brief burst of such
conditions yesterday evening down here in the far south, with a very
nice sunset.
