WX temp charts for week 1 show, much as yesterday, a bulge of very warm air pushed north to Scotland and to the northern end of the Gulf of Bothnia, but still cool in NW Russia. The warmth re-distributes in week 2, being replaced by cooler weather into Scotland and N Scandinavia while Russia warms up. In week 1, rain well spread across Europe except for Spain and N Scandinavia; in week 2 the major wet area is all the way through the Baltic, though a small patch sticks over NW Scotland.
GFS Op - broad area of HP from Scandinavia to Scotland slowly subsiding as by Sun 18th LP 1010mb approaches W Ireland bringing a S-ly flow plus possible thundery LP from France. The LP drifts slowly NE to Orkney by Wed 21st. For the following week the Azores HP just about reaches S England while weak areas of LP move across or close to Scotland from the SW. These areas of LP accumulate in the Baltic (995mb Estonia Tue 27th) with light N-lies for Britain, becoming stronger Fri 30th as new HP sets up W of Scotland.
ECM - like GFS until 21st but then the LP hangs around covering most of Britain on Thu 21st, and then the Azores HP pushes in more strongly reaching Scotland Sat 24th
GEFS - less agreement between ens members than yesterday. For the S, always on the warm side, probably more so around Mon 19th and less certainly (mainly extreme op & control runs in the SE) around Mon 26th; rain most likely 19th but continuing intermittently thereafter. For Scotland, better agreement on temps a degree or two above norm throughout, rainfall pattern similar to the S, but heavier esp in W.
