I might get shot for this but strat warms up by about 30deg between Dec 20 and 26 right over blighty at 10hPa level on the 12z.
I know this isn't going to produce anything either predictable or immediate downstream but it is on the model.
Other than that looking zonal, mainly average zonal not cold sadly. But a change from what was predicted a couple of days ago - suggests all is not lost.
I promise this is the last time I mention the strat.
