  1. GFS 12z showing some quite springlike conditions for a time as winds turn more southeasterly. Decent support from the ensemble mean for warmer air to push northwards
  2. I like the sound of that above but without the E/NE winds. Right down the east coast NE winds would give mid to high teens and drizzle. That is the worst case scenario though as with easterlies we usually get clear blue skies and pleasant warmth. But conversely its this wind direction that gives the best conditions for the SW.
  3. ECM finishes on a pleasant note with warm air wafting northwards off the continent.
  4. Looks like a weak easterly flow will develop throughout next week. Initially it could be cold midweek as a relatively cold pool of air moves over the UK. But behind that the air looks warmer so temperatures would recover away from eastern coasts. Its just a question of whether or not the Atlantic would be encroaching by then.
  5. Winter bites back? It wasnt even here in the first place. And tbh it looks more of a nibble than a bite.
  6. Potential for another brief spell of mild temperatures to come mid week but thereafter it looks like things turning more unsettled. But this past fortnight of drier conditions has been most welcome.
  7. Bordeaux has my ideal sort of climate. Mild in winter and consistently very warm in summer with frequent hot spells.
  8. I hear in Cornwall it was as perfect a summer month as you can get with winds mostly easterly delivering some very high temperatures for that part of the country. Over here its the plumes that deliver heat right on the coast. But i rated last July a solid 8.5/10 so a repeat would be amazing.
  9. Another day of decent temperatures. 16c/17c in the south east. Low teens elsewhere. Such a contrast to this time last year. The grass has had its first cut of the year which seems to herald the start of the warm half of the year just like the changing of the clocks do.
  10. It would be great to have a very plumey summer. July, although fantastic was as a result of high pressure over the UK which didnt really set any temperature records. More days like 1st August 2013 would be nice with temperatures soaring.
  11. We have had misty mornings recently on the east coast but as you say its burnt back a lot quicker here and its turned into a lovely afternoon. And in contrast to the west country, there was very little standing water in the fields during the wet spell so the countryside is looking quite dry now. So you may have a point.
  12. A repeat of last summer would suit me fine. But if i was picky i would swap June with something like June 2010 or better still 2006.
  13. Another week of pleasant Spring weather to come with high pressure to the south of the UK feeding in mild westerlies for most of the time. The ECM has cooler air sinking south over the UK for a time tues/wed next week but nothing remarkably cold, just bringing temperatures back to average values in an otherwise mild and dry outlook.
  14. Plenty of days of 30c+. Long dry and very warm spells throughout the summer with short unsettled spells and heavy thundery showers from time to time occurring during the breakdown of any hot weather.
  15. Try telling most folk that yesterday was not far from average March temperatures. 20c must be very close to a date record. Mid teens this week according to the GFS 12z so you can probably add a couple of degrees to that. which is what happened yesterday.
  16. Going to stick my neck out and say May 30th
  17. UKMO has lots of mild but unfortunately cloudy air piling over the top of the high pressure at 144h. Hard to see where it would turn colder from there. Plenty of dry weather to come for the next 7 days with temperatures fluctuating between average and above average/rather warm.
  18. Were some even doubting we would even reach 18c this weekend. What a lovely day it has been.
  19. All ready for Spring now. Light winds and some sunshine will make for perfect early Spring conditions and i will be able to get back on the golf course. I just hope we arent using up the high pressure before the clocks go forward like in 2012.
  20. ECM 12z mean supporting a brief push of mild air at the weekend and a more pronounced pressure rise for next week.
  21. But a dry spell is well overdue so it doesnt matter that it has occurred in the cool half of Spring. But i wouldnt want constant high pressure persisting for ages. Except in Summer. Spring should be characteised by showery spells from time to time.
  22. Growth really has advanced quickly here in the past 2 weeks. Crocuses aplenty in the garden and on a certain stretch of road on my way to work there is a noticeable green tinge appearing on the hedgerows.
  23. Still too dark in the evening for my liking. I get home at 5.30 just enough to get half an hours daylight. In a months time i will have 2 and a half hours daylight after work.
  24. Looks like the Russian High may act as a buffer deflecting the main energy northwards away from the UK. And then potentially join forces with the Azores high to bring more of a euro-high setup with SE england favoured for the driest conditions.
  25. The models have just realized its Spring and are showing some rather pleasant conditions developing. Brisk southwesterlies wouldnt be totally dry but temperatures would soar to mid teens it would guess. High pressure over the UK wouldnt be as warm but in any sunshine it would feel like Spring has most definately sprung.
