Helen Willetts on Countryfile would agree with you. Last night she attributed the high average temp for Spring to the mild nights that we've had, and in particular pointed out that large parts of the country had had no frost during this time.

(edit - just checked I didn’t write that I expect it to be 110f for 6 months straight)

Little ensemble support for the GFS 12z Op. But the ensembles do show an improving trend at least.

Mark my word they will claim June 2024 the warmest on record 🙄 despite latest ensembles I saw now is well below average to just tad below to average no single day above. Rain spikes record daily no dry days on the graph.

I was pointing out why you might have believed that to be the case. It should not be noteworthy in the context of what a normal British summer used to be.

WX temp charts continuing to show a recovery in NW Europe from the current low point. Still cool in week 1 from N Spain to Scandinavia but in week 2 looking like average as far N as the Channel and across to the Baltic; milder for England and Scotland but not high summer. A large mass of much warmer air working its way westwards as far as Poland by then. Rain still quite general across Europe except Spain and the Med, focused on France and points to the east or north-east in weeks 1 & 2 respectively.

GFS Op -Current LP no longer significant but new arrival 990mb Donegal Thu 13th, broadening out but moving away N-wards by Tue 18th while shallow LP over France slips into S England. A rise of pressure from the SW creates a ridge across Britain by Sat 22nd (SW-lies in Scotland, NE-lies along the Channel). Areas of  LP and HP both aligned N-S alternate in the week following.

ECM - similar to GFS until Tue 18th but the shallow LP from France becomes deeper and moves to Norway 990mb Thu 20th with the return of the N-lies for the E coast (again!)before a zonal W-ly pattern establishes.

GEM - closer to GFS this morning, but the ridge created by the rise of Pressure Sat 22nd reaches no further than the N Sea coast

GEFS - cool now, rising to norm around Mon 17th, becoming warmer from Sun 23rd, all with moderately good ens agreement. Rain quite likely at any time in irregular amounts; heavier in the west though dry at first there

Another ‘summer’ day another Retro(n) top temp of 15 degrees on the partly sunny south coast. Dare we dream of breaching the big two-zero degrees C this month at all? As the rest of the northern hemisphere burns to a crisp we sit in the fridge for the foreseeable.

Chart of the day probably the ECM ensembles SLP. By the 24th a mean of 1020hpa (plenty go higher). Certainly no guarantees but better than nothing.

6z continues the general theme of low after low after low, interspersed with only brief ridging over the UK. 

Totally impossible to plan any events or days out with any shred of confidence, even 2/3 days out.

It's right at the end of FI before anything remotely stable-looking appears (and we all know reliable the end of FI is!!)

It's not even 'typical' HLB. I mean, pressure's low over Greenland/Iceland/Norway for most of the run. What I do see is every time the PV looks like being scattered to the four winds, it re-gathers itself and sends a lobe spinning over the North Atlantic.

(It being summer means the PV as we know it doesn't really exist, it's a permanent SSW if you like! You can see how the negative zonal flow weakens as summer progresses, ready to spin up again in the autumn.)

I note the new MetO model is keen on some unseasonally strong winds on Saturday - we might get into the 30s in terms of gusts in the typical "Euro monsoon", but getting into the 40s in summer is much less common.

GFS has mid 30s at the same time, and as we saw time and again during winter, GFS tends to overestimate gusts... by a good 10mph or more.

Seeing the MetO output have much higher wind gusts makes me raise an eyebrow... I'll be keeping a close eye on this one, as high winds are my least favourite weather. 40+ gusts with the trees in full leaf will be "interesting", put it that way!

Screengrab from the MetO site for reference - I'll post an update, assuming I remember, on Saturday.

https://ukwct.org.uk/weather/wind.jpg 

EDIT: Looks like this is going to be a fascinating test of the new model! The older UKV output, seen on the "current forecast" version of the MetO site, has localised highs in the mid to high 30s, with high 20s, low 30s more generally.

Here's the "current model" version of the above screenshot - a massive difference to how it'll appear on the ground, a windy day versus a remarkably windy day.
