Some changes may be afoot at T240 though as the 00z ECM shows the Atlantic high drifting further north to sit over iceland, though that's not reflected in the gfs 00z operational. Shouldn't be too bad for many, all week, clear air, good cloudscapes, perhaps some morning dust on the car, but the temperatures will be disappointing after this magnificent spring weather of the last 3 weeks. |

I think it's only really been this week though that the temperatures have been significantly above average: the main thing of the last two weeks was the almost continuous sunshine (which was very nice) rather than the temperature, with many days only at about average. This week has been warmer but a lot cloudier, with only Tuesday being notably sunny (though on the other hand only Thursday was notably cloudy). What do people make of this tendency for a low to form over Germany around Thursday next week? Is this close enough to produce something other than the predicted "classic northerly" weather? Nick |

Nick- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - True, Nick. It was the daytime temps which were above average, I think. Clear skies allowed the nights to cool and brought the diurnal mean down. The low could bring some rain for the SE Nick, but it looks like northerlies will re-establish themselves afterwards. |

Generally dry and cool for many, is the most likely result, but there may be rain in the east and snow showers over the Scottish hills. Get out of the wind in the west and there's likely to be some pleasant enough and mainly dry weather. Northerlies it is! Enough agreement and consistency from both models: **At T240, on Saturday, 8th May, the UK will be at the end of a week of an airflow with a northerly component. The cause will be an area of high pressure which will become anchored in the Atlantic to our west. Ridges, extending eastwards from that anticyclone and sublte changes in its position will mean that wind directions over the UK will vary over the next week, but will be mainly between NW and NE at T240. The notherly component will be producing dry weather in the south and SW, but may be producing spells of rain in the N, NW and down the east coast. The rain may well fall as snow at times over the Scottish mountains during the coming week. *Temperatures will be generally below average over the UK next saturday, but it will feel pleasant, out of the wind, in any sunshine. ** A cooler spell of weather coming up, starting this weekend and lasting at least a week. |

I don't think there's a great deal wrong with this one. The High has migrated a little further north than I'd forecast, but wind directions all week have had a northerly component due to that Atlantic high and that's true of today, where nearly every part of the UK has winds between N and NE. We do have some drizzly patches of rain in Wales and the SW of England, though we've see the sun on occasions this morning and when it has poked through it has been warmer, but the NW of the UK is sunny and dry and the cloud is thicker in the east with more patchy rain there. Temperatures are down on average for the time of year and the cooler flow, with the northerly compnent, looks like it will extend into early next week. Good enough from 10 days out? |

Everyone is moaning about this now , here in Dorset R I wish you all a lengthy spell of warm and sunny weather. In this part of the world we've had a good share of both for the time of year but can't donate any. |
