WX temp chart - still cool for NW Europe(i.e. mainly Britain, France, Norway), warm E Europe up to Finland, really hot near the Black Sea and Aegean. Some levelling out in week2, Britain warmer, Finland cooler, but nothing to write home about. Rain fairly widespread for Europe N of the Alps in both weeks, heaviest near Sweden.
GFS Op - a series of (mostly) shallow troughs moving across Britain from the W with brief intervals of HP, until Fri 26th when the Azores high moves in (for real this time?). Troughs noted now (in N Sea), Wed 17th (from Ireland heading to Scotland), Sun 21st (along the Channel) and Wed 24th (past NE Scotland into N Sea).
ECM - similar pattern to GFS but with variations in location and timing. Troughs now, Tue 16th (Wales), Thu 18th (from Ireland heading to Scotland), Mon 22nd (Hebrides).
GEM - similar to above until Wed 17th when the incoming trough deepens considerably (985mb) and then moves N to Iceland and stays there, bringing in W-lies which last through to Tue 23rd.
GEFS - temps soon back to norm, then the mean stays there with different ens members inconsistently above and below but within a fairly narrow range. Rain by compass points; in the S probable near Tue 16th and less likely Sun 21st, otherwise very little; in the E heavier now but smaller amounts at intervals later; in the NW dry for a few days then significant amounts throughout..
