6Z GFS ensembles. Not a pretty picture after the next Wednesday for anyone who likes warmth.


 



 



 


Mean London maxima hovering around 20C from the second half of next week although some hint of a slight uptick at the end.

I'm glad we're holidaying in the second half of August not in this country.

A change looks likely next week but keep an eye on those outliers between 9 - 11 August.

The Ensemble for London appears to show a decline after Wednesday 8th August next week, so from today and yesterday to upto Wednesday for London and SE England, it looks very warm and sunny in general.  Nice clear blue skies today where I am.


As from my experience, I sense the GFS, UKMO and ECMWF are dropping down chilly and cool airmass and creating areas of Low Pressure in the North Atlantic Canada and NE USA and Europe the the further north you go the more chance of wind and rain as well as blustery showers and cool Autumnal weather, cool chilly days in Norway and Sweden NE Canada Southeast and West SW Greenland and Iceland and much of the Norwegian and Barents sea seeing temperatures and pressure on the Low side.


Over NW and North Europe over the next 10 days, these Low Pressure conveyor belts are being shown to track farther south in our side of North Hemisphere, and the UK and Europe is expected to turn much cooler with shorter warm and dry spells and more days seeing Low Pressure over the UK and Norway Sweden and Iceland as well as NE USA and Canada- the bendy jetstream is more able to push the Azores and Europe High as well as heat further south as they push SE from the NW and N Atlantic through UK and Norway and Norwegian Sea, often very chillly the higher up you are as well - betweek 60-90 North Lattitude.


 


The Models will continue to play with these scenarios and I truly hope that we get some taste of Autum this August, and I am very excited to see more very warm and hot sunny weather for the next 7 days.


The Model forecasts may well chance in a weeks time so it is still early days to make conclusions on whether or not the 10 days that follow after Wednesday 8th August bring us a return to Autumn, maybe the predictions could still change to show more summery weather but I am prepared to see it through..


 


It looks like there is a lot of cooling Low Pressure in the Norwegian, Arctic and Greenland and Norway as well as Canadian Landmasses and Oceanic areas.  If this happens in August then the hope is there that there could be significantly more cooler and wetter weather in these areas. The 0 to -5 deg. C at T850 hPa, and the 5-8 degrees at 850 hPa cool pooling shown on the charts and ensembles look quite interesting and relieving to us.    .  The strengthening Jetstream Vectors and flattening of the blocking High's Anticyclone look awesome and more so if they actually are able to cool it down at the surface and mid and upper levels of the Atmosphere- which is what could bring a welcome change in August after what we have had this second half of June, July and the current ongoing 1st 8 days of August etc etc.


Climate is warming up, Scotland and N Ireland and North England still often gets some Winter frost, ice and snow, November to March, but the SE and South UK including S Central England and Wales, together with the West and North through the year, they sometimes get more rain than London and S SE England, where some longer dry fine spells without much heavy rain is seen every year.

The North Atlantic Sea often gets some much Colder Wintry conditions from November to March Months, and Mild SW and South winds tend to be more frequent over the East and SE of North Atlantic Sea, as the Azores High tends to stay in charge. 

With this warmth and heat, the Central and South UK has become mostly free of snow and frost.

Each GFS run just gets worse and worse. Proper Atlantic storm coming in by the end of next week now. I think it's fair to say that August isn't going to go as forecast.


 


UKMO is also pretty dire with the jet digging down almost as far as northern Spain.

I'm sure its a case of the GFS going off on one it seems to do this when it picks up some unsettled weather it goes all in. I hope so anyway as I'm off on holiday in Dorset from the 4th.

still warm in the south east until Wed perhaps


However one of two GEFS show a way to keep it warm if the trough fills further west

I guess a lot of that total will depend on the next day or two and the convective precipitation forecast.

Smart money (and model backing) on a return to a normal summer pattern in a weeks time. The south may not be too bad with lions share of the dry weather. The switch may involve something thundery given the thermal gradient but that can wait for now

We are heading to Scotland tomorrow to spend some time in Cumbernauld with friends. We are planning on heading to the Edinburgh fringe on Saturday and the west coast on Sunday. After that we head down to the Lake District on Monday for 3 nights.


I'm sure when I checked a couple of days ago things were looking very set fair..on this advice we've packed shorts and t-shirts etc.


A quick scoot of the models tonight suggests a cloudy weekend in Scotland ..18c in Glasgow, 21c in brighter Edinburgh.


The lakes look decidedly cloudy and drizzly particularly Tues/ Weds with temps of 17-19c.


Suffice to say some last minute packing has now included a couple more hoodies and some jeans.  Down here jeans are normally only worn between October and April. 


The north / south divide is truly incredible and one I'm going to experience over the next few days. Having experienced heat for so long this will be a shock.

Cooler but quite dry. Also a hint that temperatures could pick up again as we head through the second third of August.

Azores high never far away so after the cool down on Wed, it should still be pleasant in the south and mostly dry


But the extreme heat looks to be over now for another year hopefully!

ECM looks like an improvement this morning. Hoping we can squeeze out some more sunny and warmish days in two weeks’ time to coincide with a trip down to Devon. I haven’t been in the sea yet this year!
