WX temps - another day, another disappointment. Week 1 as before generally cool for NW Europe, from the Pyrenees to the Baltic but unlike yesterday's forecast, the warmth not spreading north, but even cooler for France, Germany and Scandinavia. Little change for Britain. Rain in most places in Europe at all times, heaviest in the Alps both weeks, driest in Spain in week 2.
GFS Op - as previously, LP in Norwegian Sea moving slowly E to Norway but leaving N-lies for Britain to Tue 11th. Brief respite before new LP arrives from the W Thu 13th, settling over NE Scotland 990mb Sat 15th. As this fills, a new trough appears in its circulation, to Wales 1005mb Mon 17th. HP then moves in gradually from the SW and becomes dominant from Fri 21st but always centred SW Ireland 1030mb with NW-lies for much of Britain. Pressure over Europe something of a jumble, but never very high, typical value 1010mb throughout.
ECM - similar to GFS, though the LP is still over N Ireland Sat 15th and the 'new trough' is no more than the old one persisting.
GEM - begins to differ from GFS after 13th, the LP then arriving is shallower but covers all of Britain. This is followed by a deeper LP which however stays out near Rockall from Mon 17th.
GEFS - cool, or in the first week very cool, throughout, only just approaching norm Sun 23rd in the S, a few days earlier in the N, with agreement from most ens members. Small amounts of rain widely in most runs at any time; but drier in the SW at first and some heavier falls for Scotland around Sat 15th.
