A warmer more settled pattern does appear to be coming into view in about 8 days . Can we count it down?

WX temp charts as yesterday; week 1 still cool for much of NW Europe including Britain; week 2 a general movement of warmth northwards resulting in hot weather lying a hundred miles or so inland from the coast, warm along the coast from S England to Baltic, staying cool further north for Scotland and Norway. Rain fairly general for both weeks except Spain and W Mediterranean; perhap s little drier near the N Sea in week 2.

GFS Op - HP near the SW retreating back to the Atlantic while LP passes by NE Scotland to finish up 995mb Norway Sun 7th, with increasingly cool NW then N-ly winds and looking unsettled in the N. LP off the W coast of Ireland 1000mb Tue 9th reverses the wind direction, so warmer, but drifts N-wards past N Scotland before HP settles over Britain Fri 12th. This only lasts for the weekend before LP 1010mb from France then a re-load of the LP off Ireland.

ECM - similar to GFS at first but LP W of Ireland persists and moves close to Kerry Fri 12th; no sign of HP at that date closer than Finland.

GEM - quite close to GFS

GEFS - mostly cool to Tue 9th, then near or just above norm despite WX suggesting better for the S. Generally modest amounts of rain at any time and a few ens members with heavier falls, no clear pattern. Drier in the S than the N

At least 2m temps look like returning to Summerlike conditions.  Rather than the autumnal chill we have now.

Certainly July looks like being a very unsettled month, but, as you've said we'll shall see.

After the late June warm blip, the month officially recorded below average we now have July following suit at minus 2.6

Ensembles increasingly show us heading similar to this time last month, just scraping 20c at best daytime maxes. 
As others have said September often delivers an Indian summer the last decade or so. Summer holidays approaching soon so you can place your bets on the monsoon arrival in about 2-3 weeks time.

There does not seem much chance of any decent summer weather in the foreseeable.  Ensemblies not giving much scope for above 1020mb and mean 850s no better than 7 to 8 C over  recent runs.  The problem  down here on the Bristol Channel coast is that though there is not much rain, the brighter days are accompanied by fresh winds locked in at north of west and the funneling effect offered by the regions geography ensure that a trip out usually requires a hoody.

Warning: this forecast should not be read by anyone having a depressive nature 😟

WX charts this morning a definite step back for warmth lovers compared to yesterday. For week 1 nearly all of W Europe N of the Alps is a couple of degrees below the seasonal norm, and instead of warming up in week 2 as previously forecast, anything west of the Baltic gets cooler. Most of Britain and much of France below the 14C isotherm; for heat wave conditions go to Ukraine. Rain well distributed across N Europe in week 1, becoming concentrated over Britain - Denmark - Germany week 2.

GFS Op - LP sliding past NE Scotland on its way to Norway bringing in cold air form the NW which persists until Mon 8th. Then a modest improvement but only because trough of LP deepens and is 1005mb England Thu 11th, moving to Norway Mon 15th and followed by another cooler one 1005mb Scotland Wed 17th, also drifting E-wards with NW-ly behind it.

ECM - not significantly different from GFS

GEM - also similar to above, though a more southerly approach for the LP Mon 8th promises something a little warmer.

GFES - bar a brief up-and-down in the S, cool to Thu 11th and then staying a little below norm for the foreseeable, with good ens agreement. Rain most likely around Sun 7th and Wed 10th, but modest amounts at any time, chance of drier later.

My hopes of any sustained heat this summer are steadily declining based on this morning's models. Feels like we are locked into a pattern with high pressure staying well out to the west. As Jiries said yesterday, perhaps we need a mid-Atlantic ex-hurricane to break the pattern?

It seems that May was our summer this year, at least in terms of how things have panned out thus far.

The AIFS model (AI ECM) has been picking up the HP building in signal for mid month for a while now. Obviously it's still a long way out but I rate this model so some hope maybe. 'In AI we trust', 'bow down to our robot overlords'.

I would also like to be seeing a succession of below average months, possibly even with some cold temperature records to balance out those all too common high temperature records at least by a little bit.


In my books though, I would still much rather be seeing that in the winter (because that is what would give us a cold winter) rather than right now in the summer which should be our warmest time of the year (this is therefore the worst possible time for that to happen in my books).😡

My optimism for mid month had been growing in recent days but the models seem to be backing off any sustained warmth once again. It's a long and frustrating process...

My optimism for a dry weekend at Silverstone is running out. Son and daughter-in-law put their tent up there this morning in heavy rain. I’ve just had a message from them saying it’s leaking into their bedroom.  Oops!!  Lol

Sadly, sub CET months don't mean sub World temperature months.
On a different note, why is the 250mb jet dipping so persistently over NW Europe? Is this ENSO related or to do with the NAO, or sluggish NA drift/current? It's irritating. I know there are plenty who would welcome a break from persistent hot weather, but this is beyond a joke. The temperatures forecast could mean trouble for some summer crops if they persist.

I said before that I'd love to see how much whinging would occur if we were to get a below-average summer - though I still expect it to end up above average (we can't be jammy all summer long, and the NH is warmer than it's ever been in recent decades).

Bear in mind, too, that having an overall below-average (91-20) summer should happen every other year on average... when the last one was in 2015, 9 years ago. Those of us who aren't heat-hounds are well, well overdue a colder-than-average summer.

And no, summer crops will be just fine, as they were in the much cooler 61-90 period. The stray barley I have in my garden is ripening up nicely!

EDIT: It's interesting to see that southerly-tracking jet, of course. It persisted through most of the winter, too, but sod's law... we just couldn't get hold of any deep cold air to take advantage of it.
