Yes High Pressure is certainly looking like only lasting a few days before it pushes N/W over Greenland, Bringing a Northerly flow of types.. Wet/Cool and unsettled seems to be the theme for Mid-Month from the GFS & ECMWF.

Evidence left at the crime scene is abundant and global: Fossil remains show that sometime around 252 million years ago, about 90 percent of all species on Earth were suddenly wiped out — by far the largest of this planet’s five known mass extinctions. But pinpointing the culprit has been difficult, and controversial. Now, a team of NAI-funded researchers at MIT may have found enough evidence to convict the guilty parties — but you’ll need a microscope to see the killers. https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/articles/2014/4/9/microbial-innovation-causes-the-end-permian-extinction/

Yes some very heavy showers here, 6.9mm since midnight, Temp 7c.

More short sharp showers here this morning.

ECMWF & GFS are both showing some nice settled weather towards the end of next week. Still lots of uncertainty being 6/7 days out..

Some very sharp short showers passing through here.

Bit late..

Yes ECMWF is showing some nice warm seasonal charts this morning from the 15th.. GFS is trying.

Morning all..A dry night after some early evening showers yesterday with an overnight low of 6.9c, Some sunny spells this morning and light winds, Temp 7.5c. Looks like we could get a few showers later this afternoon.

Yes Captain, Certainly some interesting Model watching coming up over the next few days reg the High Pressure influence, Maybe they are starting to smooth out a little after there seasonal Winter/Summer jump-about, As we have seen over the past 2/3 weeks.

Some nice pics there Dale! Another pleasant day here with just a light spot of rain late afternoon. The grass is shooting up here, and baby Rabbits everywhere. .

Some moderate sometimes heavy rain overnight left 5.7mm of rain, Mostly clear sky's this morning with just the odd cloud,light winds, Temp 8.5c N/W 9mph.

The GFS & ECMWF continues to show an unsettled/cool N/W flow by weeks end, Models are still toying with something more settled towards the "very"end of the run.. But a long way to go yet for any confidence.

Nice pics there Knock Especially the last one..

WESTERN SUNSPOTS: Sunspot AR2051 has a 'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong X-class solar flares. The sunspot is not directly facing Earth, which mitigates its threat. However, it is moving to a location that is in some ways even more dangerous than the Earth-facing center of the solar disk. http://www.spaceweather.com/

Yep, I would be happy with that to.

A dry pleasant day here with some sunny spells, light rain moved in during the evening, Top temp 14.1c

That sounds a good idea Dancer.. Certainly makes sense from a weather perspective.

I'm sure if this came into effect, during any "notable weather event" the threads would be re-opened to cover a wider area again. On a side note...As Nick states, All we expect from members is for them to respect the relevant threads and rules set-out by Paul on this fantastic weather Forum, They are put in place to help everyone get along and things to run smoothly

Snow forecast for the next five days on Nevis Range, winter is still hanging on up there.

Lovely morning here, lights winds and long sunny spells. Temp 9.8c, South. Yes Conor, The models are certainly looking unsettled by the end of the week. Morning Dancer and all!

The GFS & ECMWF continues to show a quite a cool disturbed/mobile pattern from the W/N/W by the end of the week, With the Jet Stream moving South of the UK..

I'm sure the Regional's will be re-opened for any potential/local/severe weather event's.

I certainly don't feel young this evening Knock.. Legs like jelly! Nothing a Single Malt want sort out Tryfan next.
