Very boring type but at least we can see more in the way of sunshine under zonal set up in between rain than any cloudy HP.  Not seen the sun this month much due to too much HP around than in October which was mostly HP free month.

Also a much warmer US and some ridging over us by then. 

Maybe where any hints of more settled conditions in long range from METO are coming from.

Hope not to come to fruition on HP cells, I hate them more now since they don't deliver good sunny weather from last summer to now, most I see good sun when it outside HP zone like October.  This month reminded me of last summer HP dominated cloudiness.

16C and sunny forecast today had a epic massive failed, only 11C and cloudy thanks to this horrible HP.  Seem London also failing to reach 18C forecast today and stuck at 12C. 

Bring back October zonal weather back please that i saw lot of sunshine in between rain and that good for indoor warmth and easing drought, both win-win.  HP is no good for both as both lose-lose.

Absolutely - you can see that in gardens across the Southern half of the UK. Many plants that used to be the preserve of Scilly and the far Southwest are now prevelant. Think Agapanthus and Echiums for example.

The forecast is 16C sunny here today gone wrong so no need to go south for that London also poor.  You live on the coast which are always different to inland area and pointless to assume that inland are the same as what it going at y our back yard.

Got to 17.3c here. A quite stunning day. Did cricket coaching today, outdoors, and felt like early summer.

In recent years, due to their unfavourable position, High Pressure is not something to look forward to any more in winter. It produces endless days of cold grey skies and cool cloudy frost free nights. No use to anybody.

The path these lows take over the next weeks will set the tone for the winter. There are some promising signs for cold if that’s what you want. Optimism is high for colder outcomes
